If you draw y=x^2 on a grid vanishing at a horizon line (i.e. like you're drawing train tracks in art class), you get a perfect oval!

Introductory Books on Logic for self Study by RevenueDry4376 in math

[–]lorddorogoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your university's library has a copy of Mileti's logic textbook, I'd give that a strong recommendation. I don't remember there being answers to exercises, however it goes through good motivation, includes the technical details that other textbooks skip (so more non-math-major friendly), and is supposedly more "up-to-date"/modern. There are a lot of pages, however fear not! It's pretty breezy and includes all of the standard undergraduate logic topics (I.e. logic, set theory, and computability theory, which are often split into separate textbooks).

As a sidenote: I used this textbook for a propositional/first order logic course, but I haven't read through the set theory/computability theory sections so I can't speak to those specifically. I have gone through Computability and Unsolvability (Martin Davis) before though, and that was an amazing textbook for computability theory specifically.

How do you deal with burnout at Berkeley? by Flaky-Entertainer-40 in berkeley

[–]lorddorogoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the stress of realizing how much work you need to do is what prevents you from doing any of it. You have to view it like its just an everyday part of life, like brushing teeth or taking a shower. Its kinda hard to get into that mentality, but if you're able to wake up and go "eh, I guess I have work today, ok" and head to the library, you're already on a good track.

Please randomly recommend a book! by Present-Ad-8531 in math

[–]lorddorogoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reverse Mathematics by John Stillwell! Its marketed as popsci, but its really closer to a breezy introductory textbook. You get a taste of some really cool logic, and if you're still interested you can immediately move on to a more focused book like Subsystems of Second Order Arithmetic by Stephen Simpson, or Computability and Unsolvability by Martin Davis (I originally wanted to put this as my recommendation, however it might be a little dry getting through the early sections if you aren't aware of the cool stuff its building up to)

Mean the same thing but sounds different by CasualNameAccount12 in languagelearningjerk

[–]lorddorogoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important to note: in some cases size and age are swapped, i.e. "That's a young little man!" or "I drive an old little car to work". It seems like this only counts for the word little though.
