I'm currently working through books on Linear Algebra (Friedman), Real Analysis (Bloch) and Abstract Algebra (Pinter) with guided help from a math PhD I found via Reddit/Discord. It's going great, and I'm getting feedback on my proofs and learning quite a lot.
I studied physics in undergrad, and am now a math/science teacher, but I feel I missed my true calling in deciding on physics over math; it's just so much more fun, in my opinion. I'd love to maybe eventually do an online math bachelors and then get a masters in it later (or skip the bachelors and get a masters), but all that will depend on if I decide to shift out of teaching or not.
- iamcreasy 6y agoCan you please elaborate on how you found a tutor via Reddit/Discord? I would love to study with someone who can help me if I am stuck with a problem.
- dorchadas 6y agoI saw the person advertising on Reddit for his own Discord server in a /r/math thread about learning after graduation, etc., so got quite lucky. I think he still lurks around /r/math and /r/learnmath if you go and ask if anyone can help.
- iamcreasy 6y agoNice! I usually try Crossvalidate SE first. But I'll cross-post to those subreddits as well.
