In summary, the conversation is about finding resources for the math 55 course at Harvard. The speaker is a physics major with an interest in math and is looking for supplementary notes and problem sets. They mention that at their undergraduate institution, math 55 was algebra I, but at Harvard it covers honors complex analysis, algebra, and real analysis. Some links to course pages are provided, but one faculty page with problem sets has been taken down. The speaker speculates that it may have been due to the website's design.

Can anyone give me links with supplementary notes and problem sets for math 55? Of course I'm no harvard student, I'm just a physics major with an interest in math. Thanks in advance! ^_^

No idea... That guy's faculty page is hit or miss for old stuff. I have been using a lot of it for my independent study, but noticed some of it was taken down. You can still see the reading schedule, syllabus, etc. for the classes. The only thing that is taken down are the .pdf's of the homework/solutions and sometimes the exams. But the links I gave you should have all of the content... the webpage is just ugly :biggrin:.
