Study Tips: Self-Studying Math Books

[NotaMathPerson]

I am planning to read and study a book in math. How do you guys take notes when reading Mathematics books? I don't go to class anymore. I plan to self-study it. Any tips would be helpful! Thanks.

The most important thing is to use a book with plenty of exercises at the end of each section (ideally with answers or even model solutions to some of them, at the back of the book). Don't move on to the next section before doing most of the exercises, and don't cheat by looking at the solutions too soon.
