I'm also trying to learn number theory, as it turns out
Balarka may be in on this as well

We'll all be using Weil
plouffe.fr/simon/math/…
Fargle
Fargle
this book short af
probably really really meaty though
Daminark
Daminark
Oh it is
I love these sorts of books
If I work through it, which I intend to, Weil will be the first book I'll have worked through all the way
Ever

Fargle
That's a good goal, I'll steal it and set it for myself as well

Woo! Theft but partnership

Partnertheft

Exactly

My problem is that I always bite off more than I can chew.
I'm going through Ted's book, Artin, and now this, lol.

Daminark
As do I, that's a way of life
Fargle
Fargle
I like it--it will hopefully eventually give me a broad base--but as it is I'm just scattered.

I'm like simultaneously "doing" this, Atiyah (which Ted isn't sure I'm ready for but like, eh), some general discrete from Nesetril
Also algebra/linear algebra, this summer will start with some topology, and then there's a bootcamp which will have 4 topics
It's crazy scattered
Fargle
Fargle
Maybe I should quit consuming illicit substances
Daminark
Daminark
I don't consume illicit substances or even their lighter, legal variants, and yet I'm still insane
Though on general principle drugs don't help in life so I'd still recommend quitting, just not in hopes of sanity
Fargle
Fargle
I guess that's true for me too--even sober I can't focus.

Daminark
I'm pretty sure I've got some form of ADHD
Fargle
Fargle
Same tbh

yeh it's no big deal but it can be a hassle
Daminark
Daminark
That is true
