Many are extremely intelligent and hardworking. However, even the best will encounter challenges, because upper-level mathematics involves not only independent study and learning from lectures, but also a fundamental shift from calculation to proof. This shift is demanding but it need not be mysterious -- research has revealed many insights into the mathematical thinking required, and this book translates these into practical advice for a student audience. It covers every aspect of studying as a mathematics major, from tackling abstract intellectual challenges to interacting with professors and making good use of study time. Part 1 discusses the nature of upper-level mathematics, and explains how students can adapt and extend their existing skills in order to develop good understanding. Part 2 covers study skills as these relate to mathematics, and suggests practical approaches to learning effectively while enjoying undergraduate life. As the first mathematics-specific study guide, this friendly, practical text is essential reading for any mathematics major. Review: Extremely helpful and extremely satisfying tactile quality! - Really helpful to read as new Math major (who happens to come from a Humanities background). The first several chapters are a concise and broad intro to topics that will come up in a Math major, and a very helpful way to refresh the contents of an Intro to Proofs course. The latter chapters are really useful tips -- study tips, reading tips, mathematical writing tips, and interpersonal tips for relating to professors. All topics I would never have considered, but find incredibly useful. A bonus is that the printing quality of this book is *fantastic*. It is fits perfectly in small hands, and the smallish shape and moderate density of the text is, for some reason, extremely satisfying. It just feels amazing in the hands, and has a really nice weightiness. If you're a tactile person, the simple sensation of holding this text and flipping through it will be inordinately satisfying!! A really quick read. I read the latter half in a day, and got through select chapters from the beginning half in another day. I suspect I'll be back to refer to individual sections as my major progresses. Review: Excellent Guidelines for Any Math Major - I found the book not only informative, but insightful. The author obviously knows her stuff! For me, Mathematics was my minor as an undergrad. But the information is still just as relevant. The book differentiates between a students way of thinking for "lower level" mathematics, and "higher level" abstract and analysis courses. It makes perfect sense! (At least it did to me.) Included are many tips and techniques that I personally think should be taught as a standard "gateway" course for any higher level math classes. I highly recommend this for anyone either taking, or considering to take, a 300 level or above college math course! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #699,741 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #296 in Mathematics Study & Teaching (Books) #1,780 in Mathematics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | ## Images ![HOW TO STUDY MATHEMATICS MAJOR US - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BNwXifwrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely helpful and extremely satisfying tactile quality! *by A***X on March 23, 2024* Really helpful to read as new Math major (who happens to come from a Humanities background).
