How do you guys go about self studying a textbook. Is there a goal you set for how much you get done a day? Like a chapter a day etc. How many textboooks/subjects do you take on at once? Im trying to self learn in my free time between classes but i just dont know how to pace myself.

The more I see that image the more I agree with whoever made it

Whats the deal with homotopy type theory?

just finished the brainlet track. Still feel too retarded to start the next one.

Autists came together and figured out types can be treated as groupoids, which helps out in proof solving. It's interesting, more of a foundational recent development, not really pivotal for your core classes, but only plebs ignore developments that arent in their fields without at least appreciating the results.

I dont know where you're at schoolwise, but unless you were winning competitions and fratenizing with majors early as a highschool student, the average /sci/fag coming from nowheresville high school and only just learned he wanted to do math should be doing "brainlet" as a freshman/sophomore and the undergrad section as a junior/senior. IMO, the grad section isnt as comprehensive as I'd like, but I'm a bit of a stamp collector. Realize if you can even get through 2-3 of any of the grad books you should probably stick with math as your profession, regardless how overwhelmed you feel

>Learning French just to learn math from a specific non-translated version of a textbook written in French instead of other ones
Is it autism, or is it patrician?

I just started and I’m using a calculus textbook that I got for a community college course that I took in high school. It covers limits to multivariable vector calculus over 15 chapters. I’ll usually spend a few days at a time solving every odd-numbered exercise (which the book provides answers for) in every section, completing roughly 2 chapters per month. I do not recommend doing this.

That's what normal people do. They learn French, German, Russian, English if it's not their first language, to read books and papers. Only americunts find learning languages to be something weird and think "if it ain't got English translation it ain't worth shit"
