Hi,

I don't know about other people here but I work best when I have something to hold me to what I was trying to accomplish. So I was wondering (sorry if its not in the right place or something) if anybody wanted to work through (exercises and such) any of the following books:

* Pinter's Abstract Algebra (or any similar books)
* Thompson's Calculus Made Easy (or anything similar)
* How to Prove It
* Anything up to topics of this level

I know it's a lot to ask but I thought I might get lucky :)

If it's worth anything, I would be more than willing to help you through any of these books. :smile: Of course, I already know the material, but that might actually be an advantage...

PM me if you're interested :smile:
 
I'd snatch micromass as a "partner" any day!:)
 
you said 'snatch'. lol
 
Lol
Anyways, to OP: I've been recently suggested to read Pinter. I think I'll go with it. It'd take me a few weeks to order it though...

This coming from Dickfore...LMAO!
 
LMAO at the nerd humor...?

To people who are interested:

We will be collaborating (I hope) on this website: http://thoughtgroups.dyndns.org:3000/ . I'll be creating some more groups as people become interested in more books, etc. I ask to please spare the site of spam... I don't think it's quite ready for that :)

I think calling that "nerd humor" is an insult to nerds!

Ehh; but I don't feel insulted, so it can't be. :D
 
Maybe because your not a nerd! :D

Not possible :P.
 
Changed the address... I hope everything works on the site now: http://thoughtgroups.dyndns.org .

Maybe I'll make a new thread about it. Hmm...
