    What you described about being late on homework is extremely relatable. On my part, it's crazy how being late in courses compared to other people can create an imposter syndrome. One semester I decided to take it easy and everything was done at the last second. I remember classmates talking about the classes and me being simply clueless because I had spent 0 time on the subject and they had studied it for hours. When I finaly got on the subject, I was in such a rush that I could not think rationnaly and could not learn it fully and enjoy it so overall I understood less then the others. In a competitive bachelor's where everyone is very performance aware and driven, this creates a very displeasant feeling.

    It’s way easier to keep up/stay ahead with a head start. Trying to learn as much about a course before it starts and attempting to maintain a “lead” in content coverage throughout the duration of the course gives one an edge. Prudence in this regard provides a nice buffer in the event that time, energy, etc. becomes constrained.
    Additionally, prior exposure to content endows one with a sort of cognitive scaffolding upon which additional instruction may be placed. Such intellectual priming imo expedites mastery and understanding, as the foundations and cognitive architecture for the given area of study have already been developed.

    It seems that in your final covering argument you should have a double sum.
    A sum for term of the function and a sum for covering.

    I don't know about the university you're at, but my university is on the quarter system and I swear to god it is hell for STEM as far as I'm aware man. I just always perform worse in my spring quarter classes because I need a break so fucking bad, the last half of the spring quarter is just fucking agony

    • @lugia8888
      @lugia8888 Месяц назад +1

      I preferred the quarter system because classes would be done sooner. The other people in my PhD program didn’t have a preference but near the end they felt quarters were better so they could have more diversity of classes to teach.

    Today's been my (18M) last day in high school, 11 days before our matura exams will start (that's the polish equivalent of SAT). I have done basic analysis, metric spaces, topology, multivariable calculus. Currently I'm refreshing my knowledge in linear algebra and doing my courses in complex analysis, functional analysis and measure theory. After that I'm planning to do analytic number theory (both multiplicative and additive), group theory and perhaps even more stuff. I'm doing it mainly because I simply enjoy it (without the unnecessary stress, exams and all the dues). Moreover, I'd consider this a right precaution - to do well when the classes in Fall will start. Am I falling behind?

    • @iwack
      @iwack Месяц назад +30

      Yes, by a large margin. If you wanted to truly succeed and perform at your best ability (like I did) then you should've learnt analysis at 7 or 8. Typically younger it's a bit too obtuse for the child, I found.

    Ngl math logic/proofs are extremely boring and limiting. As a math student I still prefer philosophical logic and plain language because of how much more clearly it’s able to explain itself and the situation.
