Oxford Notes:

Hello! I really like your blog and it somehow makes me feel good and safe, your notes are really pretty! When I look at them they seem so interesting and I wish to understand them but the problem is I haven't even started university (I have just finished high school) and I'm kind of scared thinking it would be too difficult for me to grasp. It is just so different from high school math but at the same much more fascinating. Do you perhaps have any advice on how to introduce myself to it, where to start? Or should I just wait for the classes to start and then study?Best wishes to you!! Thank you

Hey!

I just want you to know that mathematics is difficult at the University level but it is not more difficult than any other university course.It is just different.📚

So how is mathematics different and why you shouldn't get discouraged by it?

There is an entire book written on it.It is called 'Alex's Adventures in Numberland' written by Alex Bellos.There is one particular page that I really like.It talks about how are brain perceives the world around us on a logarithmic scale but mathematics is linear and that is why we have to put the extra effort into it (To convert logarithmic to linear) but according to me this extra effort is far less than wading through hundreds of textbooks often contradicting each other that many other university courses require. Here is the cover page of the book I recommended if you would like to read it.

Apart from having a positive attitude towards it I think it'll be great if you could start studying it before your university begins.

So from where should you start?

If you know where you'll be going for your university studies then you can check if your university has uploaded their notes online and start accordingly.Some old students also usually post their notes,so see if you can get your hands on them.If these two options fail then there are two more.Oxford university has made all their mathematics notes avalilable.You can start with their Introduction to mathematics and complex numbers course (I'll put the link at the end).A student from Cambridge University named Dexter Chua also has made his notes available.You can start with Numbers and sets if you use his notes (Again I'll put the link at the end).

Dexter's notes:

You should be fine with these but the beginning steps into mathematics needs a little more help.You can use the book called as 'How to prove it:A structured approach' by Daniel J. Velleman.If you can read this with the first course that you are taking (your university notes or Oxbridge notes) then I think you'll enjoy the course more just like I did.Here is the image of the book

If you want to know more then I'm just a message away so feel free to ask your doubts.

And thank you for all your compliments hehe ^_^

🌿What would be your perfect summer day? 🌿

Wake up late,have a light breakfast,pack a good lunch and go to a nearby scenic water place with my family.My family includes my parents,my cousins,my uncles and aunts.Eat a ton of fruits,play a lot of games,make a truck load of memories and fall asleep on my mommy's shoulder in the car on the way back home.

Hello! Here’s a picture of some of the books in my bookshelf that I haven’t read yet :). Today is kind of ok, besides the stomach cramps I’m having ;-;. But I’m trying not to let them ruin my mood anyways :)

21st July - What is an unpopular opinion that you have about summer?

Sorry but summer is very overrated. And I don’t particularly enjoy baking in my own sweat

Do you have any favourite theorem(s)? I'd love to know xx

oh okay i like this. and of course i have favorite theorems, mostly based on how useful they are. here you go :

fermat's theorem (for congruences)

lagrange's theorem

fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups

density theorem

fundamental theorem of calculus (the one which uses riemann integrals)

wilson's theorem (for congruences)

special mention : squeeze theorem (mainly cause of the name)

August 8 2021: What books are you currently reading?

Yesterday I started reading 1984 by George Orwell.But I have also started two other books namely 'Men of Mathematics' by E.T.Bell and 'Music Of Primes' by Marcus du Sautoy.I have also decided to buy Anna karenina by Tolstoy after reading a post about it by @theclassicalmind.

Heya!!

Heya!!

Today I revised all the topics I covered in Analysis 1 so far and did chapter 8 and 9.

Chapter 8 is about the algebra of limits.In there I learnt how to write proofs using ε-N method.There were quite a number of cases (with examples!).Most of them were good and could be deduced easily from previous theorems and axioms but I did find 4 proofs a little challenging.I have noted them down and I’ll be discussing those with my prof soon.

Chapter 9 was about monotonic sequences.In there I learnt about the monotonic sequence theorem and the proof of this theorem is very cute.This theorem's proof is very intresting because it connects to the theorem where square root of 2 is proved as irrational but it is more general.So it patches all the gaps on the real number line quit nicely.There were some examples too which I liked and I also learnt the steps of proving a theorem when monotonicity is involved.

It was a pretty cool day.

I hope you had a good day too^_^

To Kill A Mocking Bird By Harper Lee

To Kill A Mocking Bird By Harper Lee

"Shoot all the blue jays you want,if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mocking bird"

This book throws light on various topics like prejudice, racism, civil rights, gender roles, perception, integrity without discussing them explicitly yet showing us a way to comprehend all of the topics and their effects on society.

The events take place in Maycomb, Alabama around the 1930s. It is as seen through the eyes of Scott Finch, a young bright girl of 6, inquisitive and brave to say the least. The book has the power to connect with the reader at a deeper level and help change the perspective on how one sees the world and the people in it.

Hello, Welcome To Mayusthings Where I'll Be Simply Talking About My Daily Life As A Maths Undergrad And

Hello, welcome to mayusthings where I'll be simply talking about my daily life as a maths undergrad and topics in mathematics that gets me jumping out of happiness!

I hope through this blog that people will get to see that mathematics is a cool subject that can be conquered one step at a time. I also want to make it more accessible to everyone.

Hope to see you around:)

Day 1

Assignment: Classwork of Vector Calculus

Day 1

[11.32 am]I have ODE lab viva soon and I am terrified but hopefully, it will be over soon. I have given myself the task of completing 20 problems of vector calculus.

***

[3.20 pm] I did start but there has been a dip in my motivation.So I guess I will just take a nice bath, cook some snacks for myself and my parents and then sit and study again.

***

[9.45 pm] I am done for the day.Today I did some problems on vector calculus.I don't know why but I felt tired in the evening and just could not sit and solve stuff so I did not force myself.There is some kind of peace in calculating the angle between two very complex surfaces don't you think? Only if I had more energy to go through it.But now I remember also loving the concept of directional derivative.It is not done yet so gotta continue tomorrow.

222 days left to go..
