For me, it’s all about consistency. It’s spending a few minutes to a few hours every day, forever, til the day I die. I usually can squeeze in 30 minutes to an hour every day to st…

I will tell you the secret: just jump in. Grab a pen and paper, open up the first book in any of the guides, and start reading. Read for 15 minutes, or 20 minutes, or whatever time…

That’s what the real analysis course is usually for, and why it comes after linear algebra and algebra.

I want this too. Let me know if you find anything!!

I suspect that people forget that undergraduate programs don’t really cover very much. This true not just for math, but for pretty much every other major. I mean, think about how l…

I suggest taking another look at the list and comparing it to the required courses of the undergraduate math majors at the top 20 universities in the USA. Real analysis, complex an…

Yeah, iirc the ebook formatting made the book difficult to read.

For what it’s worth, the curriculum in this guide is modeled after the math major maps of many universities, including the one I attended (Penn). I would be curious to know what pa…

In that case, I recommend starting out with Zill's Precalculus with Calculus Previews and then working through Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals!

If you have a solid background in calculus, I'd recommend Zill's Advanced Engineering Mathematics, which is pretty much basic math for physicists and engineers (aka for people who …

You cut out the middle of that paragraph, which says: "Sadly, there is all sorts of baggage around learning it (at least in the US educational system) that is completely unnecessar…

guilty as charged! :)

Check out my physics guide: https://www.susanrigetti.com/physics . It has both the physics core curriculum AND the math essentials you need to know in order to understand the physi…

Gross's review of linear algebra from his MIT algebra course bridges the gap: http://wayback.archive-it.org/3671/20150528171650/https://ww... . A combination of that and then chapt…

Agree that Baby Rudin is VERY difficult to study on its own. I recommend only studying it alongside the other two books I listed: Abbott's Understanding Analysis and Spivak's Calcu…

Awesome!! I have it all outlined, just need to skim through the textbooks again and then type everything up. I’m putting up the philosophy list next week and then all my spare time…

Yeahhhh, so refusing to interview or consider women for positions is very much against the law in the United States. Might not want to do that.

I never once in my life imagined that one of the first comments on a front-page HN post would be one that claimed that refusing service to Nazis was "spurious" and "bigoted" and th…

Hey there! I don't make very much on affiliate links but I've kind of done what you want to do on my personal website. I'm a big reader so I post links to what I read and have made…

The parent comment is not correct. No, you will not be "legally complained against" (I think you mean "am I breaking the law") if you compliment your coworker's hairstyle. See this…

Yes. We do. Sexual assault: From the DoJ: "Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the def…
