Study group/buddy for mathematics

Hey there,

i'm searching for a buddy / group to study mathematics together. As of right now, i want to study the following topics (using the specified resources):

  • Single-variable real analysis (aka calculus w/ proofs)
    • Calculus (Michael Spivak)
    • Understanding Analysis (Stephen Abbott)
    • Elementary Real and Complex Analysis (Georgi E. Shilov)
    • Elementary Real Analysis (Brian S. Thomson, Judith B. Bruckner, Andrew M. Bruckner)
    • Other resources of your choice
  • Linear algebra
    • Linear Algebra (Jim Hefferon) + corresponding video lectures on YouTube
    • A First Course in Linear Algebra (Robert A. Beezer)
    • Other resources of your choice (should contain eigenvalues and eigenvectors, if possible)
  • Discrete mathematics (combinatorics + graph theory)
    • Introductory Discrete Mathematics (V. K. Balakrishnan)
    • Introduction to Graph Theory (Richard J. Trudeau)
    • Discrete Mathematics (Oscar Levin)
    • Other resources of your choice (with a focus on proofs)

The resources I've highlighted have already been started by me, but your suggestions are, of course, welcome.

I'm also currently learning abstract algebra using "A Book of Abstract Algebra" by Charles C. Pinter, where I'm also looking for collaboration, though I'm set on that book.

I want to meet up weekly on Discord, preferably on Sunday mornings. We would read/watch the material beforehand, solve some exercises on our own, and then discuss our solutions and work some more exercises together. I'm situated in Germany, so my timezone is UTC+1.

Number Theory Research Collaboration

Hi, I'm a high school student from Turkey who worked on some algebraic number theory and prime numbers. I just published in an archive and talked with some journals. It will be published soon and I want to go into a new research. I'm just thinking about some ideas in primes and number theory but generally not much is done and I'm a little bit bored because of the loneliness. I'm not a nerd or something like asocial but in research, I can't talk to anyone that can understand my work. It's bad. So if you are interested in number theory research but have not done too much so far. Maybe we can work. That's all. Here is my last article if you are interested:

Looking for Study Partners/Groups for Mathematics or Active inference Topics

Hi, everyone !I'm a mathematics undergraduate currently engaged in self-study, primarily utilizing resources from the Cambridge Notes website (https://dec41.user.srcf.net/notes/). I'm looking for a study partner who is as enthusiastic about the following mathematics topics as I am.

The main topics I'm exploring include (but are not limited to):

- Groups, Rings, and Modules

- Probability

- Analysis (I and II)

- Linear Algebra

- Markov Chains

- Mathematical Methods

- Statistics

- Metric and Topological Spaces

- Variational Principles

- Probability and Measure

- Statistical Physics

I have a particular interest in the work of Karl Friston, especially his theory of Active Inference. Although I am aware that there's still a long journey ahead in my learning, I'm delving into the mathematics behind Active Inference and am also engaging with academic communities discussing this topic. If you share an interest in Active Inference or are curious about it, I believe we could have a lot to discuss and learn from each other.

Communication will mainly be through Discord and Zoom, with text-based updates and regular video calls for in-depth discussions on our progress, problem-solving methods, and theoretical concepts. As a native Mandarin speaker, my spoken English might not be as fluent or natural, and I hope for your understanding in this regard.

Whether you have a strong background in these areas or are just beginning to explore, I look forward to learning alongside you. If a collaborative and intellectually stimulating journey through mathematics and beyond sounds appealing, please feel free to DM me.

Looking forward to an enriching and productive partnership!

This is my dc : silence3992

Animal Communication Study Group

Would you like to have an animal communication study group?

I want to form a reading and discussion group about animal cognition and communication research, especially potential communication amongst themselves, and human attempts at cross-species decipherment of potential communication modes, in the vein of some of the Wild Dolphin Project whistle decoding and CHAT stuff.

It would be based firstly on this list of papers I compiled, but any papers you have on related topics are welcome: https://app.litmaps.com/shared/92e869b9-3d89-4e6c-a758-7a2b0d3c2323

The app I used to compile it is Litmaps. It has papers about birds, dolphins, prairie dogs, etc, and a few about language, group behaviour and cognition in general.

We would do voice chats on Discord or Zoom, ideally.

Study partner for physics - mechanics

I am a physics student looking to review mechanics. I was in a math study group, but since this is not their focus, I'm looking for a partner for the physics aspect. My choice of book/s is currently the red and blue books by Morin, because I like the red one, but the blue one might have more exposition.

My goal here is to learn undergraduate mechanics from a physics point of view.

Honors Precalculus Help

Hi,

I'm a high school junior taking honors precalculus and I'm having hard time when it comes to taking tests. Even if I'm able to do the practice problems at home and understand the concepts on my time, I'm still not able to execute that in my test. My teacher is also giving me a tough time because she makes me feel like I'm inferior to everyone and is also unapproachable so I don't feel comfortable asking her for help either. I recently got a tutor and my dad whose an engineer also spends time with me to review my coursework yet I'm still struggling. Can you please give me so tips, advice, and resources to help me fix this? Please let me know as I'm a junior and I'm scared for my future.

Also, my school has recently updated the honors precalculus curriculum to make it more challenging in order to help kids become better prepared to take AP Calc AB and BC. The topics we are covering are supposed to be challenging as they delve deeper into Conics, Polar Coordinates, and Limits. I hope to get better and feel more confident for the future topics.

Is anyone interested in forming a study group with me?

Thank you!

STEM OPT extension Termination

I’m in my STEM OPT extension. My employer told me that they are going to terminate me and send a termination letter to DSO. What happens if they send termination to DSO? And should an employer give some time after they say they are going to terminate or they can immediately proceed?

Q&A chat room or study group for Differential Forms

I've started working through A Visual Introduction to Differential Forms and Calculus on Manifolds. I'm finding it to be a very gentle primer to the concepts of differential calculus, but I still struggle to complete the questions and problems without someone to check my work and provide feedback when I can't proceed. I'd love a study partner, or just someone to dialogue about the ideas with as I progress through the book.

Is anybody up for this? Studying math alone is really hard!

Measure Theoretic Probability Theory

Hi,

I'm looking for someone that's interested in working through the first 10 chapters of "Theory of Probability and Random Processes" by Koralov and Sinai, with "Measures, integrals and martingales" by René l. Schilling as a reference. I plan to start in early June.

I'd like to study each concept carefully and do all the interesting problems. Given that I already have some other work loads, the progress is probably no more than 3 pages/day, but may very well drop to 1~2 pages/day.

Please reply or direct-message me if interested. My time zone is EDT(GMT-4)

Single Variable Calculus MIT 18.01

Hi,

I'm trying to find some study buddies to study single variable calculus with me. In my case I'm reviewing the material (almost finishing my Masters in CS), so I'm already familiar with most concepts. Even if you don't want to follow the same resources mentioned in the title feel free to join me.

Study in Differential Topology and Partial Differential Equations

Greetings everyone,

I am a university student interested in geometric analysis and several complex variables. These subjects both require the prerequisites of a study in differential topology and partial differential equations.

I am looking for a dedicated study partner(s) to join me in a study through either of the two subjects (or both, if you wish). I am currently reading through the following two books:

Introduction to Smooth Manifolds by Jack Lee, and

Partial Differential Equations by Jurgen Jost.

For differential topology, I would like to read up to at least the 18th chapter on the de Rham theorem, with a treatment of the 22nd chapter on symplectic manifolds. For PDEs, I would like to read through most of the book (~400 pages).

In terms of organizing, we have options in terms of using a private stackexchange (Stackexchange teams), Discord, Overleaf, or other means that support LaTeX. If someone can run a server or knows how to, we can also use MediaWiki for a private wikipedia in our study.

Prerequisites:

If you would like to study with me, for differential topology it is best that you have learned point-set topology that includes a treatment of precompactness, paracompactness, and at least a surface-level survey of the fundamental group and covering spaces. Analysis is also recommended.

For partial differential equations, real analysis goes without saying. A course in complex variables would also be helpful. There is some measure theory in the book, but that is not until later and we can always review.

Please DM me if you are interested, and we can then speak further about how we will go about managing our study. Thank you for reading :)

Bounty Guild: magiTeX

Sup my darlings?

So we have a hot new Discord server rolling out today. It is called magiTeX. Trying to get all of the stuff in place to make a swarm of sweaty mathematicians feel at home. ;3

It's a freelance space for smorties like you and me to mingle and discuss our plans of world domination. We've got a team about to formulate Langlands in a way to nail RH... we think. I'd love to have any and all smorties in this server, helping it build and helping hungry students find lucrative bounties.

The server comprises of various roles. Guildmasters are admins, Bounters bount bounties, Hunter hunt bounties, Artificers artifice artifacts (new theories and languages and syntax for your HUNTING pleasure), and G'rd'n'rs tend to our peaceful Zen gardens. The memes in the pub are spicy, and the shop talk is really real.

We hope to have you! Spread word to your smort frens.

Measure Theory, Topology, and Computer Architecture

Hi! I'm a Math grad student with some interest in Computer Science. Over the summer I'm going to be studying Measure Theory and Topology in preparation for courses I'm taking in the fall semester. I'll probably pick up Axler's book on MT and use Munkres for Topology.

Also, I figured I would spend a little bit of time learning about Computer Architecture. For that I think I'll spend some time doing Nand2Tetris and then possibly also spend a bit of time reading the Hennessy book.

If anyone's interested to join, I'll probably get started around May 10th, so let me know.

Classical Mechanics Study Group

(Cross-posted from r/MathBuddies) As a math student with some geometry leanings I've long been interested in building a stronger foundation in physics, and everyone agrees that the best place to start is classical mechanics.

I have my sight set on analytical mechanics via Spivak's "Mechanics I"and GR via Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler "Gravitation," but I plan to start much more humbly with Kleppner & Kolenkow "Introduction to Mechanics." This is one of the most highly-regarded textbooks--next Morin's "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" which is considered one of the most difficult ones--it's often recommended to ambitious highschoolers/firstyears and people who are preparing for physics olympiads.

We start from the beginning, so there really isn't too much background one would need beyond highschool math (trigonometry; basic analytic geometry, calculus). Would anyone be interested in joining such a reading group? Please reply or PM me if you are :)

Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Group Theory, Measure Theory

[Update: I've finished studying group theory, and am now moving on to rings and fields. I've also finished the first four chapters of Rudin and am moving on to chapters 5-8. I've also entirely finished my Complex Analysis studies. And I won't return to Measure Theory until the summer.]

I've just finished reading the first four chapters of Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis and I'd be happy to have someone to talk about that with. I don't plan on reading more in Rudin for a few months, although I know I eventually will read some more. Likewise for Dummit and Foote's Abstract Algebra.

I'm also in the middle of reading the fourth chapter of Bak's Complex Analysis and will probably read another four chapters in the coming months.

And I think I will get back on track with reading Axler's Measure Theory soon. I got overwhelmed with a few other demands on my time and had to pause that a few months ago, but things are settling down and I can start again. Especially with this one I will want to progress slowly and do lots of exercises, so I would only want to complete a chapter every month or so.

If anyone wants to join in any of these, let me know!
