Tips for Success in Undergraduate Math Courses (2002)
I mostly aced my math degree. The keys for me were:<p>1. Read and get a basic understanding of the material before lecture.<p>2. Attend every lecture and take notes very few if any notes. Most of what you need is in the book and math is about understanding. You cannot grok and write at the same time, and it&#x27;s better to try to grok while an expert is explaining it to you.<p>3. Do a shitload of problems &#x2F; proofs, depending on the class. Be honest with yourself when you don&#x27;t fully understand something and stick with it until you do.<p>Math is different from other subjects, and you need to treat it that way.
