- How did you find PF?
- Via sites like duckduckgo, I was looking for some sites that are less like Mathematics Stack Exchange.
Hello!
I have been following this site for quite some time and I quite like the more approachable atmosphere compared to areas like stack exchange, it makes me feel less like an idiot. I finished my bachelor's of Statistics and Data Science, didn't do so well on the statistics courses except discrete maths, and I am currently unemployed for about a year, though I have 1 year experience as a programmer and I am going to work soon.
I read, "The Essential Guide to Self Study Mathematics" and "Am I Cut Out for Mathematics or Sciences?" both by Micromass just a few minutes ago and was hugely motivated, and inspired, to look into the pure maths curriculum, I have Spivak's Calculus so I should start there, thus creating an account here to further promote my self study environment.
I have read and attempted to many personal development guides like "Deep Work" by Cal Newport, "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley, and "Ultralearning" by Scott Yong all to no avail I felt like I do not have something sufficiently tangible from them as a guideline and my progress seemed to diminish after a few weeks. I had thought that maths is maybe not for me but read Micromass' articles and wanted to try it again, this time far slower and with Physics Forum. I am looking forward to read, ask or answer some cool and interesting topics here!
