Another Question about Pure Math Degree

[~Death~]

Hi, so

I was just browsing this site and I've heard of most of the things being asked

in the Math forums, but I really only knew the answers to a few

I just finished my 2nd year of university (pure math major)

Ive taken an intro course in real analysis, abs algebra I and all the standard

differnetial equations, linear algebra II, stats, and up to vector calc

but I wondering -how long before I actually learn a lot

it seems like I know nothing compared to the topics on this site

-Thanks

You already know a lot of math. You have all the classical math needed for most physics. Aside from topology, you seem to have it all down. Junior year is when it gets 'pure' though.

Hello,

It's great to hear that you are interested in pursuing a pure math degree and have already completed several courses in the subject. It is normal to feel like you know very little compared to the topics discussed on this site, as pure math is a vast and complex field that requires years of study and practice to truly master.

In terms of how long it will take for you to learn a lot, it really depends on your dedication and commitment to your studies. With each course you take and each concept you learn, you will build a stronger foundation of knowledge and skills. It is important to continue challenging yourself and seeking out opportunities to deepen your understanding of pure math.

Additionally, it may be helpful to seek out resources outside of your university courses, such as attending seminars or workshops, reading advanced texts, or participating in research projects. These experiences can expose you to new ideas and approaches to pure math, and help you develop a deeper understanding.

Remember, learning is a lifelong process and you will continue to grow and develop your knowledge and skills as a pure math major. Keep up the hard work and stay curious! Best of luck in your studies.
