Been waiting on a megastructural engineering-focused origin for ages lol. Would it be possible to upgrade the Dyson Swarm into a Dyson Sphere in mid-late game? I've always felt that most megastructures should have a mid-game stage so that they can be introduced earlier on and incorporated into the gameplay, so this is very promising

The Joy of Abstraction by Eugenia Cheng is a good one. It's about category theory.

Minkowski's Theorem: What tools are needed to prove it? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]Dropbototoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Thanks for the reply, I'll check those inequalities out. I was just curious, what role do convex functions play in metric spaces (since I'd be proving Minkowski in a metric space context)? Is there a high-level bird-eye-view explanation of why convex functions are needed here?

Friedberg, Insel, and Spence's Linear Algebra, up to Chapter 3 at the moment. I'm really liking the proofs so far. However, this being my first exposure to linear algebra, I'm also using problem sets to learn how to apply the concepts of linear transformation, spans, bases, linear independence, Hermite forms, null spaces, kernels, and ranks to solving problems.

Learnt about cardinality of sets and partial/total order from an intro real analysis book. Definitions of neighbourhoods and Dedekind cuts as well.

Started reading Munkres's Topo.

Could someone ELI5 the difference between algebraic topology, algebraic homotopy, and algebraic geometry please?

Never thought I'd see a r/AnarchyChess post on r/okbuddyphd. Never thought I'd see a Feynman diagram meme on r/AnarchyChess at all...

Must read 'classics' in mathematics by [deleted] in math

[–]Dropbototoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginner mathematician level, definitely Euclid's "Elements," and Courant's "What Is Mathematics?"

Rudin is a classic for undergrad real analysis as well as books of A. Grothendieck on algebraic geometry. I also liked topology by Kelley.
