Hey, I love your blog! If you don't mind me asking, are you preparing for jee/an entrance exam or are you a college student?

Hey! Thank You sm! I This is my first ask lol and I'm always up for questions so I don't mind at all.

I am actually studying B.Sc hons (majoring in mathematics) and I am in second year (but like in 20 more days I will be a final year student).I am preparing for IIT JAM.It is an exam for undergraduates to get into universities for their masters degree.

I hope this answered your question and if you have any more questions always feel free to ask!

Lots of Love xx

I had an exam yesterday, one more to go. it was the written part, so 12+ hours of solving problems, exhausting just like before. I completed all of them, but of course I am not sure if my solutions are correct, I will find out on monday. I'm proud of the progress I've made

right now I'm studying for the second part, so the theory-oriented one, I can barely focus because I've already learned those things and now I have to relearn them again

I'm trying to prove all the theorems on my own. partly to see how much I remember, partly to see how much I'm willing to improvize. as they say, if you're using too much memory then you're doing something wrong so I'm hoping to be able to come up with the proofs without memorizing anything new

my technique for studying the theory for the exam is to first test myself on how much I remember by trying to write everything down and note where I'm unsure or don't remember at all. then I read the textbooks starting from the worst topics up to the better ones. when I encounter a long complicated proof I am trying to break it down into steps and give each step a "title" or a short description

for instance, the Baer criterion featured in the photo has the following steps:

only do "extenstions on ideals to R→M ⇒ M injective"

define the poset of extenstions of A → M, A ⊆ B and a contrario suppose there is a maximal element ≠B

use the assumption to define an ideal and a submodule that contradicts the maximality of the extension

it is much easier to fill out the details than to remember the whole thing. this is probably the biggest skill I acquired this semester, next to downloading lecture notes pdfs of random professors I find online lmao

a friend suggested that I could make a post about tips for reading math textbooks and papers. as for papers, I don't have enough experience to give any tips, but I can share how I approach reading the books

a big news in my life is that I got a job. I will be a programmer and I start in march. at first I am going to use mostly python, but in the long run they will have me learn java. I'm excited and terrified at the same time, this semester is gonna kill me

Hello 👋

Today I did the following stuff

Revised Physics

Started Linear algebra

Duolingo (French)

For linear algebra I'm currently watching videos by Sheldon Axler.They are short and to the point☘ Here is the link if anyone wants to check the videos out

YouTube

Linear Algebra Done Right

I'm very tired today so off to bed.Ba bye and I hope you had a good day today if not,don't give a damn about this world, you are the best 🤗

Idk where life is taking me but hopefully when I look back it makes sense.

yeah

One can live magnificently in the world if one knows how to work and how to love.

[2.01 pm] Since morning I have been struggling with focusing on one thing.I did complete today's vector calculus stuff but with that I was also doing the drawing above and watching The wolf of Wall Street.My focus has been all over the place.I need to pull myself together.

***

[7.57 pm] Done with 1 chapter of Analysis 1.It was about Cauchy sequences.I understood the proofs and was able to recreate them on my own.They were not perfect but I did get the gist.

***

[9.18 pm] I am not going to finish the linear algebra chapter that I started.It is hard and I am not going to force myself.The world is not gonna end if I finish it a little late.So taking if slow.I did finish a chapter in group theory .I will do a bit of duolingo and sleep.I am planning on just doing vector calculus tomorrow and do duolingo the rest of the day.

Heya!!

It's a beautiful day here and I have decided to do the following stuff

Complete revising Differential Equations ( I have an exam on it next week)

Finish the last assignment of Group theory

Revise Group theory Problems

I hope you have a wonderful day ^^<3

[3.48 pm]The piecewise functions that I didn't like can be solved easily using greens theorem (Happy dance ).The only condition is that the terms gotta be continuous and bounded.I did complete my targeted 20 problems a day but not at all satisfied with the topic.So I am going to do the same topic tomorrow again but I will find some different problems.It suuuuuuuccccckkkksss when you do problems and still need more problems to perfect the concept but I am going to be patient because everything will be just fine after a year.

***

[10.43 pm] I usually wind up with my studies by now but I haven't yet finished some of it. So I am going to sit for 30 more minutes and finish it all off and not push it to tomorrow. I was helping my friend with experimental values for a physics experiment. You know those scientific notations I always used to find them boring when I first learnt about them but now after actually using them so many times I have come to appreciate them very much. Those notations feel like these delicate things to me now. You gotta handle those notations with care and when you do it will give you get such an accurate answer.its just a very nice feeling to see it come together.

***

[11.45] I completed a chapter of real analysis 1 and a very small chapter in group theory.I wanted to do a bit of linear algebra but I changed my mind and so I am gonna do it tomorrow.
