There is so much mathematics to learn.

Measure theory can easily encompass over 1k pages worth of content.

How the fuck to digest it all?

I guess the easy thing to do is adopt finiteism and advertise my youtube videos on /sci/ but I don't want to be that degenerate.

Honestly OP, the best solution is to find an area of math that you really love, and focus on it. It's been said a lot, but it is a very relevant truth that there is so much mathematics these days that being a master of it all is nearly impossible. Mathematics has moved into the realm of specialists, and out of the realm of "Jack of all Trades." Don't be a red mage, go full on black mage or white mage.

lel

By the way, much of the useful measure theory is chapters 1,2,3 and 8 of big rudin. That's less than a 100 pages.

>Red Mages typically cast both Black and White Magic and can also wield swords and equip armor that normal Black and White Mages cannot. They are, in essence, among the more versatile characters of the series. However, their versatility comes at a price: their stats are usually low, and they cannot cast higher level spells or use stronger equipment. They can learn many spells, but not the strongest, and equip some heavy armor, but not all of it.

>Thus, the Red Mage is a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none. In certain games, Red Mages have a special ability such as Dualcast which boosts their spell casting efficiency. The standard Red Mage attire consists of red, black, and white clothing, including a red cloak with white or black trimmings, black boots and a red cap with a white feather.

Seriously, you've never played any of the final fantasy games? /sci/ is supposed to be full of maymay-tier nerds. C'mon.

I'm the one you responded to, and I've actually played VI, VII, VIII, IX and X.
In fact, my main email address is named after a final fantasy gimmick.
But this concept didn't stick.

I never said to stay in a small corner, but thanks for putting your dank-ass words in my mouth...

The point is to find an area to focus on. Draw form other fields where needed, but have direction. Results in the 21st century aren't found when someone prattles around the surface of distinct fields. In fact, most research teams consist of researches in pretty disparate areas.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 14 21:27:48 2015 No.7130706 >>7130651 I think the idea is that you don't need to know everything in Fremlin's books on measure theory and all parts of linear operators by Dunford and Schwartz if your main interest is combinatorics, but you should learn the basics on both.
