Quote:If I were to buy more Campus notebooks, I'd get the pre-dotted lined ones next time (I bought the regular lined notebooks) as they are amazing for math/science 
Pre-dotted lines is something I didn't know I needed
Quote:Of course, after I wrote this post, I looked back and saw that you're much further in math studies than I am...
You give me too much credit I've only completed first year calculus and a proofs course. I'll be looking around for some textbooks at thrift stores after the Easter weekend, something nice and cheap that I wouldn't mind drooling on, scribbling on, and treat like trash (broken windows theory anyone?). Older textbooks are also less likely to downplay the rigor needed in solving problems, and I enjoy their frankness. You're an engineering student? Have you checked out Factorio, great little game:

Quote:Btw I'm a mathematician and I don't remember almost anything by memory neither does someone who is half decent in math, you just have to understand a handful of things and then you can deduce the rest. it's all about understanding.
That's comforting; I find it charming to see mathematicians reconstruct a proof to a theorem rather than checking a reference. I'll keep that as a benchmark for learning.
Quote:Along the same lines, Wolfram Alpha can show you step by step solutions if you are a premium member. Back when I took calc and linear algebra it was invaluable to my studies. You could (at the time) find a new trial account for premium on BugMeNot every week so you didn't even have to register.
Yes! I used to be part of the BugMeNot Wolfram Alpha crew, if anything it was a great way to check that the
method that led to the solution was correct. I'll been waiting for a Free as in Freedom (though I do appreciate the free drinks) alternative, though no one seems to be working on it.
