How to learn Maths now that I am leaving school Anonymous 2016-01-19 21:42:18 Post No. 7796311 [Report]

Hi guys. I am above average at maths. But not a whole lot more than that. I have an predicted A* in maths A-level, but could only get an A in Further Maths. hopefully that gives you some idea of my abilities.

Anyway, I am interested in further developing my maths skills, but I fear I have left Khan Academy's scope behind so I don't know where to go from here.

What are some good ways to get better at maths on my own and what areas should I explore? I can occasionally consult with a Maths PhD guy I am friends with, but I wouldnt want to rely on him overmuch.

An A* in single maths means nothing and neither does an A in further if you cant get an A*
read books
do questions
use google
leave sci

I heard you get lots of time to learn stuff at a mental hospital. Maybe you would get the peace of mind you need there if this is freaking you out too much :) Also you could be getting illegal drugs there which you would risk becoming a criminal if you tried getting them on your own.

kys. You probably never even graduated.

Complex Algebra by Posenheimer
BMO Practice/Primer papers
Elementary Number Theory
check your local library for UKMT resouces (or your national equivalent)
See if you can get some cheap uni textbooks secondhand

???

>>7796324

This looks interesting as hell. Is there some archive link or whatever I can use to follow the hyperlinks in the original post?

>>7796328

BMO is too advanced for me I think, but I will look at the others.

Learn basic set theory, get used to proving everything, start studying analysis and linear algebra.
