Quantum computing since Democritus is great, I understand Godel’s results now! And a bunch of complexity stuff I’m still wrapping my head around.
The Road to Reality is great, I can pretend to know complex analysis after reading chapters 5,7,8 and most people can’t tell the difference! Here’s a solution to a problem in chapter 7 I wrote up.
I’ve only skimmed parts of the Princeton guides, and different articles are written by different authors—but Tao’s explanation of compactness (also in the book) is fantastic, I don’t remember specific other things I read.
Started reading “All the math you missed” but stopped before I got to the new parts, did review linear algebra usefully though. Will definitely read more at some point.
I read some of The Napkin’s guide to Group Theory, but not much else. Got a great joke from it:
which of these books are you most excited about and why? I also want to do more fun math reading
(Note; I haven’t finished any of them)
