Gonna start my mathematical journey. Every good engineer has an affair with mathematics. I am not saying I am a good engineer, but I still have this infatuation. The joy of looking at greek symbols conveying some higher truth. Anyways a quick rant:
TUMBLR PLEASE ALLOW LATEX
Now that that is out of my system, let me discuss my plan. I would be using Tom Apostle in conjunction with Demidovich for calculus, Fomin and Kolmogorov for Real Analysis, Kostrikin and Manin for Geometry, Vinberg for Algebra.
By geometry I mean linear algebra in conjunction with geometry, by Algebra I mean Algebra and group theory.
I might do Yosida’s functional analysis too. I will cover topology and complex analysis if I can keep at this hobby.
Mathematics has been ruined for most of us by empty curriculums lacking beauty. Same goes for physics, as well as engineering. All these are highly artistic endeavours in my humble opinion. I have been kept from mathematics by virtue of high stakes exams that require you to not study in depth, not take your time.
I just aim to study math as someone would study the piano. By no means does that mean my end goal is writing a paper- for I understandably lack that kind of an education. My end goal is to be able to at least understand what the real maestros are doing. In some sense, I want to develop a sense of hearing in order to appreciate Chopin.
I want to drown myself in aesthetic beauty. I read a bit of zoology, a bit of anthropology, a bit of everything as I am getting older and realising that it is not a waste of time to be immersed in the bliss of the human endeavour to seek for the purpose of seeking.
I have done my fair share of mathematics in engineering, in Signal processing and electrodynamics. I have taken a lot of mathematics courses. However those courses lacked depth and were very operational, as they had to cater to engineers.
I would be updating my progress each week. If I pull it off, I hope you can overcome your inner hurdles to do that one thing that you fantasised doing all your life. Maybe it was cooking, maybe it was doing a front lever on a pull up bar, maybe it was growing a flower or maybe it was looking at the night sky through a telescope. Let nobody tell you that your idle time has to be a profitable endeavour (though it can be!). The profit motive for many of us sucks us dry of motivation, it puts us in a direct conflict with history and the market. Why compete? Do your own thing. There is no hurry, everything will be alright.
