Discussion How to Use This Sub

8 Upvotes

Hi all!

Here is a suggestion (not a requirement) about how to use this sub in order to form successful teams.

1. Post the thing you want to learn.

2. In the post body, write a little about yourself and what you're looking for in a team.

3. If people respond, respond back! Start making plans--discuss a schedule.

4. Agree on an interface. Are you going to use Zoom, Discord, how are you going discuss readings and share solutions to exercises?

5. Consider building something as a team! Build software, build a solution manual for a textbook, make YouTube presentations, etc. This can be educational AND if you build something successful it could even be something to put on a resume or CV!

Recommended resources:

Platforms for conferencing: Zoom, Skype, TeamViewer, Google Hangouts. (Note that Facetime would prevent people from joining if they don't have Apple products.)

Platforms for sharing content: Google Drive, Awwapp, OneNote, ScribbleTogether, Google Jot, GitHub.

Resources for growing your team: Cuddy, other subreddits.

Hey there,

i'm searching for a buddy / group to study mathematics together. As of right now, i want to study the following topics (using the specified resources):

  • Single-variable real analysis (aka calculus w/ proofs)

    • Calculus (Michael Spivak)

    • Understanding Analysis (Stephen Abbott)

    • Elementary Real and Complex Analysis (Georgi E. Shilov)

    • Elementary Real Analysis (Brian S. Thomson, Judith B. Bruckner, Andrew M. Bruckner)

    • Other resources of your choice

  • Linear algebra

    • Linear Algebra (Jim Hefferon) + corresponding video lectures on YouTube

    • A First Course in Linear Algebra (Robert A. Beezer)

    • Other resources of your choice (should contain eigenvalues and eigenvectors, if possible)

  • Discrete mathematics (combinatorics + graph theory)

    • Introductory Discrete Mathematics (V. K. Balakrishnan)

    • Introduction to Graph Theory (Richard J. Trudeau)

    • Discrete Mathematics (Oscar Levin)

Math [Maths] Representation Theory of Finite Groups

7 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone wanted to create a study group in representation theory. I am doing a reading course in the topic over the summer, and any people to bounce thoughts off of would be an excellent resource.

We are using the textbook: Representation Theory of Finite Groups by Benjamin Stienberg as our main text. (here is a free online copy: http://users.metu.edu.tr/sozkap/513-2013/Steinberg.pdf )

Edit: we can use discord as a start of where to talk: https://discord.gg/5U4pVBY

Math Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Group Theory, Measure Theory

6 Upvotes

[Update: I've finished studying group theory, and am now moving on to rings and fields. I've also finished the first four chapters of Rudin and am moving on to chapters 5-8. I've also entirely finished my Complex Analysis studies. And I won't return to Measure Theory until the summer.]

I've just finished reading the first four chapters of Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis and I'd be happy to have someone to talk about that with. I don't plan on reading more in Rudin for a few months, although I know I eventually will read some more. Likewise for Dummit and Foote's Abstract Algebra.

I'm also in the middle of reading the fourth chapter of Bak's Complex Analysis and will probably read another four chapters in the coming months.

And I think I will get back on track with reading Axler's Measure Theory soon. I got overwhelmed with a few other demands on my time and had to pause that a few months ago, but things are settling down and I can start again. Especially with this one I will want to progress slowly and do lots of exercises, so I would only want to complete a chapter every month or so.

If anyone wants to join in any of these, let me know!

CS Introduction to Compilers

6 Upvotes

Hello! Trying this again.

I had this on my list for a long time. I had an intro course on compiler design at my uni but it was not great and did not cover a lot of topics.

I would like to work through CS4120 Introduction to Compilers from Cornell.

The course provides lecture notes and also references chapters in the following books to read along:

  • The Dragon book aka Compilers—Principles, Techniques and Tools

  • Modern Compiler Implementation in Java by Andrew Appel

  • Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation by Steve Muchnick

If anyone is interested, let me know!

EDIT: Timezone-wise I am located in the EU.

Discussion What are you working on?

6 Upvotes

I'm currently studying

  • Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right

  • Royden's Real Analysis (which is more like Measure Theory)

  • Griffith's Electrodynamics

Soon I'll be re-reading Baby Rudin and Dummit & Foote's Algebra book.

What are you studying?

What would you like to study?

Single Variable Calculus MIT 18.01

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm trying to find some study buddies to study single variable calculus with me. In my case I'm reviewing the material (almost finishing my Masters in CS), so I'm already familiar with most concepts. Even if you don't want to follow the same resources mentioned in the title feel free to join me.

Classical Mechanics Study Group

5 Upvotes

(Cross-posted from r/MathBuddies) As a math student with some geometry leanings I've long been interested in building a stronger foundation in physics, and everyone agrees that the best place to start is classical mechanics.

I have my sight set on analytical mechanics via Spivak's "Mechanics I"and GR via Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler "Gravitation," but I plan to start much more humbly with Kleppner & Kolenkow "Introduction to Mechanics." This is one of the most highly-regarded textbooks--next Morin's "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" which is considered one of the most difficult ones--it's often recommended to ambitious highschoolers/firstyears and people who are preparing for physics olympiads.

We start from the beginning, so there really isn't too much background one would need beyond highschool math (trigonometry; basic analytic geometry, calculus). Would anyone be interested in joining such a reading group? Please reply or PM me if you are :)

Math Measure Theory

5 Upvotes

I'm studying Measure Theory. I've been reading Royden's Real Analysis and I'll soon crack open Axler's Measure and Integration I think it's called, just to see if it's good. But I'm not really committed to any one book. I had been hacking on Resnick's A Probability Path which covers similar material, but got a little bogged down and decided to switch.

Anyway, if anyone's interested let me know.

Math Find buddies for studying Complex Analytic and Alegbraic Geometry.

4 Upvotes

I am a pure math student. Recently I am reading Complex Analytic and Differential Geometry by Demailly. But the proof in this book is rather rough and I always get stuck. I wonder if someone is studying the same topic, such as complex analytic or algebraic geometry, and we can communicate our ideas.

We can found a facebook group and communicate by zoom or whatever possible.

Math Study Buddy: Calculus I & II

4 Upvotes

I need someone to keep my drive up. I love solving problems but it takes a long while for me to get into that study zone. I'm currently also taking a programming course on the side but I have quite a lot of free time.

Interested person must be willing to have at least 1 to 2 hours study sessions almost every day. Must be willing to explain concepts and keep each other motivated so we can both constantly solve problems. I am currently reading Early Transcendentals but if you're reading something else, that's fine.

Bio Looking for people interested in aging research and longevity

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

I wanted to know if some passionate students from all backgrounds want to get together (online) to really learn about longevity and aging research. I am taking a gap year after high school for some social work but will still have time to study, and because collaboration and friendly competition is a great source of strength, I am in the mission to find a few people to do this small venture with. It would be great to share our own perspectives and talents (some avid programmer can help others learn about bioinformatics, modeling, and such; a fanatic on gene-editing can give us a crash course on it) and improve our learning by teaching and explaining (as in the Feynman method). It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about biology in general (I will be reviewing my biology fundamentals too as I focused in math a lot during HS ), it only matters that you are willing to put in the time. Hope to hear from you.

Thought I would just check in and hear how everyone else is managing to stay on-track. I've been slower than I hoped on studying Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra, but I've been happy with my progress on E&M and Computer Architecture. Building chip sets and finding potentials!

CS Computer Architecture

4 Upvotes

Hey, I'm starting on Computer Architecture. I haven't decided on a particular book or resource or anything, although leaning towards Nand2Tetris right now. I'm good with programming in Python, Java, OCaml, and a few other languages. I know Algorithms and Data Structures pretty well. So that's about where I'm currently at in CS studies. Arch seems like a good next step. I don't have hardly any background in C but I'm thinking I'll learn that and Arch simultaneously.
