You know how in philosophy they say start with the Greeks? Well in math we start with the bourbaki's. Learn some basic French and then get into Éléments de mathématique by Nicolas Bourbaki.

Why?

>another IQ thread

Online IQ tests are incentivized to give users high scores because they want people to come and click ads.

So to answer your question, critical thinking would be a good start.

Iq doesnt matter

You should read some tl;dr books and then work your way through anything called classic.

Short "give me the gist of it" books:
Strunk and White
ABC of Reading by Ezra Pound (it's not for children)
Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche
Economics in One Lesson

>>10700410
You should learn to read the sticky, retard.

we're not your daddies and mommies (male). Learn to choose what you want to be without being spoonfed.

>>10700684
I did that and am now trying to clean up what I've missed you dirty nigger

>>10700410
Study what you need to learn and what you’re interested in. Eventually you’ll accumulate a lot of knowledge for fun thought experiments. I have my main studies, but am currently studying when I have the chance geophysics and anything involving radiation (particle physics and medicine are fun subjects!).

>>10700410
Read about things you find interesting

>>10701032
I'm kind if deliberatly trying to study things at random, via the posters here. Because I've neglected the things I generally wouldn't consider. AKA trying to be well rounded.

>>10701044
I've totally mastered the physical parts of life, I need to learn mental shit and trust me I am only interested in drinking. I require an assigment. Thank you.

I'm currently reading the second edition of this:

>IQ
not science or math

-----------------------------------
Foundations:
-Calculus 1,2,3 ( By Ron Larson - Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions )
-linear algebra ( "Linear Algebra"-Kenneth Hoffman/Raykunze )
-differential equations(ODE and PDE) ("Ordinary Differential Equations(Dover Books)"-Morris && "PDE Intro"- W.Strauss )
-----------------------------------------------------------
It Branches off into:
-Real analysis (Choose: "Intro to Real Analysis"-Robert G Bartle or "Principles of Mathematical Analysis"- Rudin )
-Set Theory/Topology or Complex analysis or Abstract Algebra ( "Complex Analysis (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)"- Serge Lang && "Set Theory"-Daniel W.CunningHam && "Topology"-Munkres && "Abstract Algebra"- David S. Dummit and Richard)
-Differential Geometry/manifolds ( "Differential Geo."-Spivak and "Introduction to Manifolds: Second Edition (Universitext)"-Loring W. W. Tu )
-Algebraic Topology ( same textbook used for topology there's two parts)
-Algebraic Geometry/Complex Algebraic Geometry ( "Introduction to Algebraic Geometry"-Serge Lang && "Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I and II"-Claire Voisin )
-----------------------------------------------
After that it can just be anything any order:
-Graph theory ( "Intro to Graph Theory" -Richard J Trudeau )
-Measure Theory ("Graduate Texts in Mathematics (v. 18)" - Paul R. Halmos )-Real Analysis needed
-Model Theory ("Model Theory: An Introduction (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Vol. 217) 2002nd Edition" by David Marker)
-Number theory( G.H.Hardy-"Intro to theory of numbers" )
-Functional Analysis( "Functional Analysis: An Introduction to Metric Spaces, Hilbert Spaces, and Banach Algebras" - Joseph Muscat)
-Foundations of Mathematics ( "The Foundations of Mathematics"-Thomas Q. Sibley )
--------------------------------------
-Graduate Mathematics( which is idfk )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Good luck and have fun!

Oh yeah I just realized you’re a math brain let so before you do any of this pick up and read Serge Lang’s “Basic Mathematics”. Gl.

>Oh yeah I just realized you’re a math brain let so before you do any of this pick up and read Serge Lang’s “Basic Mathematics”.
Lang is a meme.

>>10701315
How?? I thought his Algebraic Geometry book was fine. Also the basic mathematics book is a really good book for high school math and will teach you more than any standard school tf are you talking about??

>>10700410
Start with learning new languages.

>>10701305
>>10701296
screenshotted your post will work my way through it thanks

>>10701416
why?

I have no issue learning new languages but its very boring. Math is harder I take things too literally for math. Math you assume a bunch of shit and it drives me bonkers that you would ever have to do that at all.

I have the same IQ as you. The difference is I began working on mathematics at a young age and that is a big factor. You have to understand the time investment one.

"Education is a long, tedious process and it is not made any less so by intelligencs."-Tao

Figure out what you want to do, because even after you get to the 90 percentile in that field or whatever, you've barely started to recap on past giants. It doesn't just take months. It takes years. I don't mean years, but YEARS.

I felt the need to be independent, as well as it was an easy choice givem that I was dozens of pounds under weight until I had a job and without shoes until I was 11(3 years before I stopped going to school). That's deep appalachian life for many. I mastered all trades and make a fuckton of money now. I can make money in quite a shitload of ways. Career is not a concern to me. I just want to learn new things to become a better person.

>>10701718
>Math you assume a bunch of shit

>>10700410
I'm the poster who quoted Tao. Another thing. I don't understand these meme book lists at all. Even if you go to top Ivy league, PhD knowledge can be as few as 10-15 books good. Not just skimming, but knowing them inside and out. A Nobel prize winning chemist made the remark that if you knew his undergraduate book cold, you should get a PhD.

Find something you want to do, because the world doesn't really need you. It's for your experience.

>>10701746
Did you learn the stock market? I'm in the opposite position as you. I'm ass broke.

>>10701749
I'd be fine with math if it didnt require that you assume shit

why even call it math

fuck

>>10701757
yeah I do good with stocks

thats from today

>>10701760
continued

>>10701760
If you're serious, I'll offer the proposition to teach math/advice or other things (I'm versatile) if you help me learn the stocks. Job prospects for the sciences can be a slog

>>10701772
sounds like a fair trade sir

>>10701775
How should I contact?

>>10701781
provide a method and I'll follow

>I've not

I don't know. You sound like a foreigner. Americans don't talk like that.

t. American

>>10701801
born and raised in Kentucky

to be fair most of my patterns come from 10+ years of 4chan

>>10701718
learning different languages their different nuances for words that have the same definition is a good way to see things in a different light. also it makes you more interesting

t. bilingual

>>10701758
almost all education requires some degree of assuming things, have a little faith

>>10701819
Yeah I got tons of mexican friends and have had arabs friends too and worked for gooks once and I'm on 4chan every day for the last 10+ years so I understand what you're talking about and to be fair, I don't give a shit.
>>10701821
Yeah, I need to work on it. I need it to be explained it the most blatant damn terms. I'm just too autistic for math believe it or not. I visualize it just fine to a very high degree, but converted into normie methods it seems totally absurd to me.

>>10700410
Sudoku

>>10701830
learning a new language can help with understanding normie maths, but if it isn't your poison I don't blame you.

>>10701830
haven't you ever looked at a language with a fucky alphabet and thought, "i want to know what that shit is saying"? if you haven't, you're not nearly as smart as you think. or you just have colonizer syndrome

are you interested in relativity or quantum physics? unrelated note, bill bryson's "history of everything" and yuval harari's "sapiens" are good books for your history

That's normal. Nothing in math makes sense, until it suddenly does. Just make it make sense to you. School systems spend a year teaching dumb kids how to solve y=mx+b. Try Khan academy.
