Cal Newport has great tips on studying efficiently/effectively (and you can implement some of his strategies with Anki): https://calnewport.com/case-study-how-i-got-the-highest-grade-in-my-discrete-math-class/ https://calnewport.com/case-study-how-i-got-the-highest-grad...
- fn-mote 3y ago> Art of Problem Solving for if you need/want to rebuild your pre-college foundations AoPS will do more than that. It will show you how to think about proving things carefully, an on ramp to the "rigor" of introductory analysis texts.
- mindcrime 3y agoHuh. I'd heard of the AoPS stuff, but never knew much about it. Based on your comment here, I just ordered their "Basic Algebra" set (book + solution manual). I'll give it a spin and may consider trying other books in their series depending on how it goes. I like the idea of something that presents "high school level" material, but starts introducing the rigor needed for later mathematics. Sounds like something that could be very beneficial.
- red-iron-pine 3y agohuh interesting links. I do appreciate the "rebuild the pre-college foundations" part too, IMO I think that's important.
- sn9 3y agoI kinda undersold it, too. They go much deeper than what you learn in high school. You'll build a foundation strong enough to flourish in any undergraduate math program in the country, including those in the Ivies. More than enough for a CS program or a working SWE.
