hey guys,
iam an engineering student taking a year off (after my first year) and i was trying to teach myself linear algebra and set theory from a mathematical point of view
( the way that linear is taught to engineers is frankly an insult to the subject) and i find that i keep getting stuck at specific theorems.
now i believe that if u get the theory u can then apply it the problems and it should follow that no matter how hard the problems are they are merely a variation of the theory which is basically a generalization of the problem.
am i right ? or just confused?
i was wondering how to deal with theorems. for example it is useful to translate theorems into words and then think about them?
also i would wondering generally wat are the undergrad topics i need to know to study the following subjects on my own. ?(i study great on my own i can easily bet that all the math that i have learned over the years is because iam motivated by some strange for to do math in my spare time didnt learn a thing in first year calc pissed me off)
1) quantum mechanics:!)
2) Functional analysis
3) Complex Analysis:grumpy:
also which of these topics is the easiest to tackle first ?
