    I would love to see a video on your explaining how you actually read a textbook and take notes. I always find whenever I try to take notes I either just rewrite the whole book or write nothing it all, so it would be really cool to see your process, perhaps just going over a page in a book and pointing out the types of things you'd write out for yourself, and also touching on generally how many pages you find yourself reading a day.

    It’s been awesome watching your journey. As a Senior math student eyeing a master’s program next year. It lets me know a lot of the struggles I’m going through isn’t just me.

    Information theory is one of the most beautiful sub-fields in mathematics. Highly recommend getting into the field. Also, if you have the chance, I’d recommend reading up on computational complexity theory if you like the stuff on Kolgomorov complexity. Complexity theory is to computer science what thermodynamics is to physics.

    Wow...as someone that holds a PhD in electrical and computer engineering, those top three books bring back a lot of memories! I studied those subjects mostly as an undergraduate to better grasp control systems and digital signal processing.
    I can only imagine how different they may be from a purely mathematical perspective!
    At the time I took those courses, I thought they were "advanced mathematics". Probably not from a mathematicians perspective though. 🙂

    Cool to see Classical and Modern Fourier Analysis on your desk! I actually took Harmonic Analysis under Dr. Grafakos at Mizzou. He was an awesome professor. He has a new book coming out soon! Keep an eye on it. It's called Fundamentals of Fourier Analysis. It is a much more digestible book, and he explains concepts very clearly in it.

  • @strikeemblem2886
    @strikeemblem2886 Рік тому +12

    Hi, let me comment on the Grafakos book, since I use it quite a bit as a graduate student.
    I would say that you can focus on the first four chapters, which is basically what a typical taught course will cover anyway. I view the remaining chapters as "special topics", which for now is enough to just flip through and admire. Chpt >=5 contains several important results and ideas, but pls do not FOMO... this will become second nature to you if you decide to work in the area, like it or not ;)
    Grafakos and Tolstov = Harmonic analysis on Rn. There is another flavor of harmonic analysis, one that works on topological groups instead of Rn. You have witnessed the beginnings in the final chapter of Katnelson. So when someone says they work in harmonic analysis, be sure to first distinguish which one it is! =)

    I’m only a rising second-year undergrad, but watching you talk about this is so informative, interesting, and inspiring! It’s also really cool getting to gain perspective on what part of grad school can be like (which I’m interested in going to). Love your videos, keep at it!!

    I love your videos! As a high school senior thinking about pursuing a PhD in astrophysics, your videos provide context of what it is really like to be in a PhD program, albeit for mathematics (which I presume is at least somewhat similar to what I would expect in astrophysics). Thanks for giving me something interesting and informative to watch!

    You should do research in Fourier/Harmonic Analysis which can be extended towards PDEs. It has a bit of measure theory, complex analysis, and functional analysis.

    If you are doing mathematics for so long, could you tell me if the following strategy is viable. Regarding reading math book, let say I read the text as soon as I encounter a new theorem, I rewrite it on a piece of paper (I don't look at the proof), and next I'm trying to prove it for myself. If I get stuck I briefly (for a few seconds) look at the proof and continue to prove it for myself. When it is done, I verify it with whats in the real proof and move on.

    Hey Im working on Fourier Series by Tolstov right now for self study, never seen fourier analysis before. It more like a calculus book than analysis. The subjects are all over te place. I think it assumes few analysis knowledge. Thats why it skips and jumps back to certain convergence topics. It makes it less enjoyable to read because subjects stay open.

    @antivorg1239 Рік тому +2

    If you're possibly interested in applying your stuff in the future, Information Theory underpins a ton of electrical engineering, computer science, and more. There would be a lot of really interesting applied work you could do out there... (same broadly applies to Fourier Analysis)

    Can you make a video about how you read a thick mathematical book like they type you were going over. I mean math books are just so dense in complex equations etc on every page. Are you reading a chapter for the main ideas then going back and trying some problems?
