<p>i think the thing scary is its unlike any math i’ve ever been asked to do. i don’t think i’ve been asked to prove anything since geometry so i don’t really understand how those work…</p>
<p>if i can’t do the section 0.9 problems right now (but can understand the answers), am i going to have a problem with math at caltech?</p>
<p>i looked at the problems here: <a href=“http://www.math.caltech.edu/classes/ma1a/index.html#hw[/url]”>http://www.math.caltech.edu/classes/ma1a/index.html#hw</a></p>
<p>those were mostly manageable for me</p>
<p>i’m kinda worried about the proofs thing, are those something i should know and understand going into caltech? how about induction (never heard of that math term until i looked at the problem set today)</p>
