I'm studying mathematics. Now on chapter 11 in Spivak's Calculus.

Interested in learning stats, differential geometry, classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum after.

Would be interested in discussing math ideas, proofs, problems.

Happy to learn/teach if you are close but above/below where I am at right now.

I’m also self studying mathematics on the path to a “DIY statistics degree” (currently revisiting Calculus as well). I imagine there is a fair bit of overlap between what you’re doing. Would be interested in hearing more about how you’re handling your education journey.

As a brief summary, I spend a couple hours every day working through a textbook. In choosing what/how to study in mathematics I'm driven by two considerations: 1. It's important to master the basics before anything else. So I need to cover linear algebra (done) and calculus (WIP) 2. Beyond the basics, I'm driven by curiosity/play. My current interests lie mostly in stats and physics.

Happy to chat otherwise, I put my email in my profile.

I am interested in discussing maths. You might want to add an email in your profile for contact. You can find mine there !

Done, thanks.
