AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a 3rd semester schedule that includes courses in Differential Geometry, Real Analysis using Rudin, Advanced Linear Algebra, Symbolic Logic, and Introductory Programming in Java. Participants express confidence in handling the workload, particularly for Rudin, which is known for its rigor. There is a focus on the importance of proof techniques, with one participant noting their prior experience with proofs in Linear Algebra. Questions arise regarding the proof intensity of Differential Geometry, with a comparison to Kreyszig's work. Overall, the consensus is that while the courses will be challenging, they are manageable for those prepared to engage with the material.

I have some experience with proofs in LA, read up on basic techniques of proof over summer (contradiction, induction, direct, functions,)

This sounds like a good schedule to me. Be prepared to work hard for Rudin though, even if you're acquainted with proofs.
 
^I certainly will. Do you know how proof heavy Diff. Geo will be at the level of Kreyszig?

I've never looked into Kreyszig :frown: But if it's anything like his superb functional analysis book, then it won't be too hard. Differential geometry shouldn't be any of your worries...
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
