I already know basic logic and proof techniques, and excercise proofs in for example automata theory are easy to me since they relatively graphic.
But how the fuck do i find proof in analysis and number theory? I mean i read the chapters, understand every proof for theorems and lemmas, but i can't wrap my head around finding this shit!
Since you seem to be the smart board here:
Do you have tips for FINDING proofs?
step 1) not be a pleb

Ok, if thats your definition of pleb, how can i stop being a pleb?

lol, the guy in OP's pic is literally autistic.
he has like over 100s over custom made spider brooches.
>>8068763
do more problems, especially from the early chapters

>But how the fuck do i find proof in analysis
Draw a picture.
Prove very basic things with every step referring directly to an axiom
Work your way up from there
the way I see it is that it comes down to two skills: understanding and expressing.
understanding a problem to the degree where you know why it must be true or false is the most essential part of solving it imo. after that it is simply a matter of having the machinery to express yourself.
you can to a limited extent find proofs without the above but it will be like feeling your way around a dark room. this is the route for brainlets.
