Is it just me or is university mathematics just not that hard? I've only been at it for about 6 months but it doesn't get much harder than Calculus, both in the undergraduate and graduate textbook curriculums. Right now I understand most of the material and I am working on memorizing the theorems and proofs in every book. Will Picrelated be me in another 6 months?
>>16477035congoatulations you've mastered entry level. you are not special
most of the courses are easy because you're supposed to be doing research on the side. your topology and differential geometry classes can't take up 80h a week
>>16477035They dumbed down maths because they need students and low enrollment means less classes means less jobs for the professors I literally could solve most of differential eq/linear algebra using the formula sheet they give us (yes, they give formula sheets now, for physics also)Did you take discrete math?
math isn't that hard, it's just a lot of jargon, math niggers just like to think they are special
>>16477035Idk man, maybe I'm a moron but measure theory and stochastic processes both kicked my ass.
desu reading fat history textbooks is harder
>>16477402I'm glad I got 100% in my first measure theory test. Literally not going to study for the second one.
>>16477430My first measure exam wasn't so hard. It was around Lp spaces and the part of the course that becomes intro to functional analysis that I got super lost.
>>16477035>Memorizing proofsYou sure it's best way? What about not having read them, but do them?
you are just another delusional midwit with delusions of grandeur, if you were even remotely as smart as he was, you would be on stack exchange solving problems graduate mathematicians have, not being here on the retards platform bragging about calculus and memorizing theorems about continuity lmao, people with nash's intelligence are usually doing graduate math in their teens before joining university, it should take you the next 6 months to master undergraduate math, and be capable of writing a graduate research level paper that would impress the likes of terrence tao
>>16477035The proof-phase of undergraduate math is primarily learning the rules of a language game. So it is easy if you are interested and also good at reading at writing in English already. You're learning the alphabet, and grammar, not yet saying interesting (non-trivial) thingsA course like real analysis is the perfect example of this. All of the definitions and theorems can be phrased in first order logic, and a computer can prove all of it symbolically (it's complete in Godel's sense, less complicated than the integers with arithmetic)If you want a taste of reading some math that is too difficult for an undergrad then try Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry textbook for example
>>16477035>I can compute an integral easily so I'm obviously a geniusIs it one of these cases where americans in their first year of uni learn stuff that people from other countries already know when they start?
>>16477035I've only been doing it only 20 days recently opened calculus so far it looks understandable to what I've been doing. Do you know how long until I actually reach calculus?
>>16477035>entry level math is easy guys!Literally everyone that took calc AP classes in highschool is saying the exact same thing
>>16477047>you are not specialYou're mistaken.
>>16477035>I understand most of the material"most" implies there are significant portions you do not understand.I suggest an arts/humanities major.
