Glad I could be of service!

that’s what I’m saying

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’m definitely going to make some prep material for the next chapter and I’m thinking about making some for the current chapter, the one episodes 1 and 2 currently cover. The problem which took me the longest in this set so far was the one where a,b, and e are elements of an ordered field and a < b + e for every positive e. I spent a long time trying for a method that was never going to pan out and in the end I think it took 40 minutes. Usually problems take less than that, maybe 5 or less minutes for an easy problem and 5-15 for something I’ve actually gotta think about first. The two sets I’ve done so far have taken less than 2 hours each. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding a completion time to each problem so maybe I’ll implement that. I feel uncreative partly because analysis can sometimes require something very specific or original from you. There’s a class of problems I call “magic epsilon” problems, so named because I feel they’re similar to “magic line” problems in geometry. Something that looks so opaque suddenly becomes clear once you see the epsilon that makes it all work. Other than that I feel like the only trick in my bag is the triangle inequality which only takes you so far. I don’t know how one who isn’t me would judge their own timeliness or creativity. I think I lack in this subject because of the amount of time I’ve spent looking at a blank page in overleaf with no ideas for how to solve a homework problem in my analysis 2 class. I guess it depends on how fast you need to be for your circumstances. I hope my jumbled and unorganized response answered at least one of your questions. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy what’s to come

I hope I can provide some edutainment on my journey

My doppelgänger! Nice to meetcha. I wish you the will to get through your self study goals

Even taking the putnam is some wild stuff. I commend you for your effort

What a coincidence me too lol

Thank you kindly

My first video tickled the algorithm it seems lmao

The very next chapter is actually all about cardinality. Different types of infinity, finding bijections between infinite sets (or showing that there aren't any), stuff like that. None of that stuff was covered in any kind of detail in my analysis classes so I'm looking forward to digging into it. I may make some videos going through the chapter and not just show the exercises.

What the frick it's Andrew Dotson

@@robsemicolon it cool if I semicolon here? Just let epsilon be greater than zero and then I'm pretty sure you legally have to get half credit.

@@AndrewDotsonvideos Actually though I've surely spent hours staring at a piece of paper that just says "Let epsilon greater than zero" and nothing else as the cogs try their best to turn one angstrom

yoo wtff🤯
