I read basic mathematics and then changed authors, I miss him so much bros

>Advanced Algebra
It's just Algebra. Whatever Americans call "Algebra I and II" has almost nothing to do with actual algebra

>sci/, how far did you get into the Langomania program before you lost interest and fell back into your old habits
Stop masturbating. Stop using dating apps. Stop going after women. Don't allow sexual thoughts to arise in the mind.
Get RX for dextroamphetamine 5mg twice a day.
Coffee or 100mg of caffeine in the morning.
Nicotine throughout the day either as a patch or pouch.
Study all day.

You're a product of what you do. You didn't make it probably because you're too busy obsessing over sex and masturbation and do other time sinks like gaming and scrolling.

Meant for OP, please don't do this unless you are autistic or insane

I am both autistic and insane. I want to do other things with my life in this prison dimension beside fapping to bimbo bitches, therefore I'm going to follow this advice (seriously). What are you guys studying lately?

I've been studying abstract algebra/group theory. I said that because the advice of 'study all the time, you will have no life outside of mathematics' will lead to burnout for anyone who isn't genuinely insane or obsessed with the subject. Like 90% of mathematicians you see will have hobbies and a life outside of mathematics, for example: Hardy loved cricket and Feynman did art or something along those lines. Obviously you have the autistic crowd who lived for and only for mathematics but those people are neurodivergent by definition, that isn't to be expected of most people. On the topic of sexuality, you see plenty of cases of mathematicians either being celibate (Newton) or being married (Gauss, Euler) so it's not like sexual thoughts are dangerous to productivity on their own, in my opinion it is likely just your overindulgence in easy and overly dopaminergic activities such as 'fapping to bimbo bitches'. Basically what I'm trying to get at is, if you want to do something with your life that's great. Mathematics can be very fulfilling and it is definitely worthwhile, being important to many people and being a subject of fantastic wonders. But you do not need to throw everything away for mathematics, you should be having fun with life and studying mathematics. Talk to other people about mathematics, teach other people mathematics, it can be a very social activity in of itself. Anyways my favourite advice for studying mathematics is to not worry about the most efficient method of studying, just sit down, read and do problems. There is other stuff to worry about as well but again, don't spend time worrying about whether you are studying efficiently when you could be studying mathematics. And get another hobby

You're not going to follow this advice lol.

Modern electronic structure theory as recent reading. But seriously chemistry is bullshit

I read most of Real and Functional, which was a gift from a math dept head. I learned Peter-Weyl theorem from SL2R before I knew it was called Peter-Weyl theorem and before I ever read finite group representation theory.

Just to clarify, this was not OP. I have it on good record that I am OP. I'm only autistic. :-/

I couldn't even finish Basic Mathematics. I'm not sure what he expects. There is a huge gap between basic algebra laws presented in the text and the proofs he asked in the problems.
Fuck math seriously.
