<p>Ah OK did you manage to self-study the theoretical math texts you were looking at? I remember your referencing/mentioning it at one point in regards to “hardcore old-school calculus” or something.</p>
<p>No - I went off and diverged into writing a lot of thoughts and notes and read a lot of books. So that delayed me. I’m planning on doing it sometime soon though - as soon as I get solutions for Spivak via interlibrary loan - still - I want to also continue on my neuroscience self-study and sometime get around to self-study quantum mechanics and electromagnetism</p>
<p>funny thing is that drbott (who just won davidson $25,000 scholarship) is pressuring me to do more grad lvl courses next yr :p</p>
<p>also i just got eric kandel’s “principles of neural science” - that book is sooo alluring</p>
<p>Whoaaa! That’s awesome! Is drbott a pure mathematician-in-training?</p>
<p>no - he’s doing research with a prof in applied math and might PhD at age 19. But he wants to do pure math and is going to a Math in Moscow program next year.</p>
<p>He’s the only person in RL I still talk to</p>
<p>can some of you 2011ers fill out this survey?</p>
