Description
Study as a Mathematics Major: A Practical Guide Lara Alcock's comprehensive guide is essential reading for any mathematics major. Upper-level mathematics requires more than just independent study and learning from lectures - it demands a fundamental shift in thinking, from calculation to proof. This shift can be challenging, but with the right approach, it need not be mysterious. The book covers every aspect of studying as a mathematics major, from tackling abstract intellectual challenges to interacting with professors and making the most of study time. Part 1 explains how students can adapt and extend their existing skills to develop good understanding, while Part 2 offers practical approaches to learning effectively while enjoying undergraduate life. This friendly, practical text is perfect for anyone looking to succeed in mathematics at university.
