I’m so tired today,Btw my august spread.
Happy August you guys ^_^
Some beautiful libraries for your soul 🌟
Some group theory notes that I took today.
Yesterday I started reading 1984 by George Orwell.But I have also started two other books namely 'Men of Mathematics' by E.T.Bell and 'Music Of Primes' by Marcus du Sautoy.I have also decided to buy Anna karenina by Tolstoy after reading a post about it by @theclassicalmind.
Today I'm taking a break from life.
Place:Annecy
Each time one of you followed me, I have got a smile on my face.You guys have made me smile like a hundred times.Literally.Thank You for sticking around.I love you guys so much. Just wishing the best for each one of you and nothing less.
Lots of love and tight hugs xx

I have my midterm exams going on. Today I had physics. It did go well. I am just unsure about one numerical problem 😅. Tomorrow I have an organic chemistry test. I am kinda prepared and hope it goes well too ^^. I did find some time for my group theory though🤭Aesthetic background and music with Group Theory felt like a bliss🌿
The video I was listening to was
I hope you are having a wonderful day ^^<3

Hey guys! This last week has been pretty amazing for me because I’ve gotten a lot of work done and I’ve barely procrastinated at all! And I’m definitely going to make an effort to continue this. Also, have a picture of my tiny little workspace now! It’s messy now, but it feels more authentic that way :)
17th July - What is your typical daily routine in the summer?
I usually spend my entire summer in between a state of sleeping, eating and reading on my phone but this summer I’ve been super busy, so that’s been quite impossible :’)
I am currently studying Analysis 1.In that they proved that the square root of 2 is an irrational number using the approximation of supremum concept and I'm floored.The proof itself makes use of 2 concepts (the completeness axiom and the law of trichotomy).I'm just in love with that proof right now.
Above are some pages from my journal.
Hope you are having a goody goody day 🍰
I got a proof wrong on an exam. No points.
Then, I thought about it for fifteen minutes outside of the exam, wrote it down, nailed it.
I showed a classmate and told him what happened. He looked frustrated. He’d clearly had this happen before, too (haven’t we all?). He said, “Don’t you hate it when that happens?”
I almost said yes. What the h*ck!? No. No, I do not hate it when I can fathom a deeply abstracted concept in mathematics. I never hate that. I the opposite of hate that. Expecting myself to immediately understand topics like this is unrealistic. I’m proud of being able to do it at all. Who cares if I did it in the exam or within the next hour? I DID IT. It’s mine now. I can do it whenever I want. Missing points on that problem doesn’t take the knowledge out of my brain. How dare I be taught that my knowledge is useless because I didn’t have it right at that moment. It’s just as good now.
Education is not about the arbitrary numeric number ascribed to your ability to do things quickly in an arbitrary, restricted time interval. Education is about being able to do progressively more things, to understand progressively complex things.
Tenacity and challenging yourself far beyond your limits is a hundred times more important than getting good grades. Because, when you’re one of .4 percent of the population who possess complete knowledge on a very complex topic, nobody cares how long it took you to do it, or how well you did it the first time you tried.
Grades don’t discover new mathematics. Mathematicians do (even the ones who failed a basic topic in mathematics because their base way of thinking was too complex). Grades don’t advance medical research. Scientists do (even the ones who had to apply for their PhD programs 3 times in a row before they got accepted). Grades don’t make science fiction into real-world technologies. Engineers do (even the ones who dropped out of school because they wanted to build things, not talk about building things).
Knowledge is power. Skills are power. Grades are constructs. Never trade actual understanding for a semblance of understanding.
Heya!!
Today I revised all the topics I covered in Analysis 1 so far and did chapter 8 and 9.
Chapter 8 is about the algebra of limits.In there I learnt how to write proofs using ε-N method.There were quite a number of cases (with examples!).Most of them were good and could be deduced easily from previous theorems and axioms but I did find 4 proofs a little challenging.I have noted them down and I’ll be discussing those with my prof soon.
Chapter 9 was about monotonic sequences.In there I learnt about the monotonic sequence theorem and the proof of this theorem is very cute.This theorem's proof is very intresting because it connects to the theorem where square root of 2 is proved as irrational but it is more general.So it patches all the gaps on the real number line quit nicely.There were some examples too which I liked and I also learnt the steps of proving a theorem when monotonicity is involved.
It was a pretty cool day.
I hope you had a good day too^_^

[9.51 pm] Today I wrote my last chemistry exam for life and I couldn't be happier.Next year onwards I can just have maths courses so no more chem fuss.Tomorrow I have my law exam so preparing for that.It is an extra subject.I am not at my best today.I have been anxious all day and hopefully I will feel fine tomorrow.

214 days left to go...
Will I make it? 49 assignments...23 courses..1 tiny room...
