I had a math tutor. And was pleasantly surprised when I got it down and it became fun.
I celebrated when I no longer needed math.
Had I of been able to learn math easier, it not of been such a struggle, I would of gotten a different degree.
I STRUGGLED.
I think I have a learning disability with math. I have no issues in any other area, except math.

I've heard of Axler's book. The newest release is indeed free as a PDF, and now includes determinants and topics about multialgebras better now, if I recall?

Math is much different than other subjects! Its concrete in the sense that is fundamental, it is ancient. How many thousand of years ago were other fields such as Philosophy the same field as Mathematics?

I personally think learning math changes your brain and the way you perceive the world. Not just to think "mathematically", but is a viable way to learn how to think critically and process information in a way to learn more. Many derive great pleasure from learning math.

There is much to learn about and you'll never grasp all of it in your life time, so pick the flavors that suit you most. I think you would benefit greatly from studying An Introduction to Abstract Mathematics by Neil Donaldson & Alessandra Pantano, which has a freely available PDF.

If you take anything from this, take that the only way to learn math is to struggle. You will get angry, upset, and feel defeat; but its a very rewarding journey.

Heya! I was recommended to introduce myself to the community after signing up via an automated message.

I'm an undergraduate student working towards my Bachelors in Mathematics. Hoping slave away at grad school and feed into the academia pyramid scheme. :crazy2:

Anyway... Love these "old-style" boards php boards, they load so fast! Is there any community slang or culture I should get know while adjusting?

I'm not totally sure. But he definitely takes the approach of putting off determinants which makes the topic a bit more interesting. Determinants are too powerful and can distract from the beauty, at least I think thats what he was going for.

Let me know if you need any book suggestions or want to chat math. I love it and self study it. I'm also a grade school math teacher, so I'm still pretty sharp with basic algebra calculations.
