Notation and syntax are areas that I have struggled with in higher level mathematics. Can anyone recommend a guide or resources useful to understanding things like converting set theory, sequence and series style problems into equations and solving them?
- tkzzbneig 9y agoNumber theory's as good a place to start as any. You'll learn proof techniques and see a lot of notation in contexts that require varying amounts of background knowledge. It's feasible that an undergrad intro class would be up your alley if you're a software dev. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-781-theory-of-numbers-spring-2012/lecture-notes/ https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-781-theory-of-num...
- goldenkey 9y agoBill Shillito's lecture series for Project Polymath is by a mile, the best introduction to all the notation necessary for higher level math. It requires absolutely no prerequisite knowledge.
