@BalarkaSen lmao

Hmmm, honestly not 100% sure. I learn a lot of proofs of theorems, and I've learnt about induction, contradiction and that, if that's what you mean @user2103480

cool. Don't know what most of that means but cool. All they have at my uni for undergrad is probability, calculus, linear algebra, and discrete math, and that's about it.

What are you studying currently?
Oct 5, 2020 22:57
Right, well all of my exams have been 3 hours I think, so maybe it's not so bad here. Yeah, exactly the optimisation stuff. It's all very hard to understand coming into it blind, but once I actually looked into the math behind it it was much easier to understand.
Oct 5, 2020 22:53
yeah, same at my uni tbh

Hahhaha classic

@user2103480 I feel like it's just a lot of linear algebra, calculus and stats tbh, so if I just did a lot of those I'd be able to do ML, you know?
Oct 5, 2020 22:48
@user2103480 That is actually really good to know. I would definitely be specialising in ML if anything master-wise.

I already have a bachelors in Computer Science, but I really just want to go back to uni for math, cause it is way cooler imo. I have to look into if I can do a masters in CS while also doing a bunch of math papers, or what.
Oct 5, 2020 22:39
I know. That's like C1 proficiency which I definitely cannot do in 11 months haha.

@AlessandroCodenotti Thanks! Guess I should start practicing then :,)

Probability made more sense to me when it connected distributions to integration.
Oct 5, 2020 21:15
Are you all doing your bachelors or masters atm?
Oct 5, 2020 21:14
Well, darn. Duolingo it is I guess
Oct 5, 2020 21:12
Really? Like University of Bonn? I thought they were pretty good for math.
Oct 5, 2020 21:11
True. I want to study in Germany but I have a bachelors in computer science, so I've been considering either doing a bachelors in math or a masters in computer science, but I really just want to do math and not computer science.
Oct 5, 2020 21:10
Do either of those do bachelors in English?

Sup team, I'm new here. Doing Computer science in New Zealand, but I think I want to start a degree in math next year.

What are some of y'alls recommended online resources for learning?
