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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the first mathematics-specific study guide, this friendly, practical text is essential reading for any mathematics major.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46861798441111,"sku":"9780199661312","price":3325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199661312.webp?v=1769963541","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-to-study-as-a-mathematics-major-9780199661312","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
