AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an individual enrolled in two independent study courses: Spivak's Calculus and Artin's Algebra. The participant seeks collaboration with others to work through these texts, specifically using Spivak's 3rd Edition and Artin's 1st Edition. They plan to tackle Spivak in order, completing all problems and focusing on the appendices, while basing their study of Artin on Harvard's Math 122. The semester lasts approximately 18 weeks, starting on January 28, with the possibility of beginning Spivak earlier. The individual has prior experience with rigorous mathematics, having studied Apostol and completed rigorous Calculus 3. They mention the challenges of studying both subjects simultaneously and highlight the benefits of online study groups for collaboration. A Facebook group was previously established for communication among peers.

This semester I am enrolled in two independent study courses, one based on Spivak's Calculus and the other on Artin's Algebra. Since I'll be going at them alone (with some help from my supervising instructor), I'd like to see if anyone would like to work through either of them with me. I'm going to be using Spivak's 3rd Ed. text and Artin's 1st Ed. I would like to go through Spivak in order and attempt to do all of the problems. I'm basing my study of Artin on Harvard's Math 122.

Feel free to shoot me a message. A few of us had a group study page on facebook set up so that we may communicate.

Algebra & Calculus on same time. Seems Horrible! (Kindly give detail 1 Semester = 6 months / 4 months in US)
 
I have some experience in rigorous treatments of each (a good chunk of Apostol, for instance)... and I will have taken rigorous Calc 3 by the start of the semester. A lot of Spivak will be review, but I want to work through the problems and his appendices in particular. I confess that Artin will be brutal.

As for time frame... my school is on semester of ~18 weeks. I may start Spivak sooner, though (classes are supposed to start Jan 28).
 
Well, I am not going to be in your study-group. Online study-groups helps much. Also check here,http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewforum.php?f=218
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
