Hi everyone.
Little bit of my background:
Im currently studying mathematics in the third year at university (or maybe you call it college in your country), and I have two more years left. I feel that I have affinity for physics and maths, and it is something I really want to master. My grades in these subjects is good - but my way (the easiest way ... ) to obtain good grades has been to practice problem solving techniques, rather than obtaining the deep mathematical insight I am wanting. As of now it's difficult for me to apply my current mathematical skills to new subjects independently, meaning that if I am facing problems i have not seen before, there is a great possibility that i will manage not solve it. I want that kind of insight that allows me to apply my math skills to any problem faced!
My question is therefore: How do I obtain this kind of mathematical knowledge? Do you have any books to recommend? How should i use the books? How should i work with the topics? I am interested in all topics, and its up to you to recommend in what order those topics should be studied. I am willing to lay down some hard work.. Both general tips, and specific study-tips (like write down the teorems on a sheet as you read) is of great help.
Any reflections on this matter is truly appreciated.
Thank you.
