I'm in a book club for it! Which is why I kept picking it back up. But now I've finally gotten into it

This is like my 4th time trying to read this book and the farthest I've made it, so I fully understand 😂

And I want to read that one! I might buy it soon

Probably “Designing Data Intensive Applications”! But I have a bunch of other programming books on my Kindle, so I might switch around

Happy Sunday! Going to a football watch party today.

Do you think they'll notice if I read a programming book the whole time?

“How to Prove It” third edition is opened up on top of a pink blanket. To the right of it is a notebook with math notes written out.

Ok I'm really enjoying working through “How to Prove It” so far 📝

I didn't realize just how much I missed solving math problems and taking notes

That's a good idea! Like all of my courses for my math BS were proof-based. I want to dive back into number theory and linear algebra proofs, but figured I'd relearn how to write proofs first

Writing proofs really is like learning a new language! And takes just as much practice

Let's go!🔥 I'm pretty sure I used the second edition of this book in college, so I'm excited to work through this edition

I'll do better next time I buy pencils 😂

I'm pretty sure that the second edition of this book is what I used in college as my first introduction to writing proofs, so it should be beginner friendly!

Yeah, just for fun! I haven't written proofs since college, so I want to relearn how to write them

A “How to Prove It” third edition textbook is sitting on a wooden table on top of a 5-subject notebook. On top of the textbook is a pack of BIC mechanical pencils.

Because I need more math in my life

You should! I built out a little calculus quiz app using React, Inertia.js, and Laravel recently so I could quiz myself on some calc concepts 😂

You should! It doesn't help that in school you have the added pressure of deadlines and knowing you have to get a certain grade to pass

Also, teachers really make or break how you do in a course. And thank you!

I'm about the same! I've worked on calculus a little bit since graduating, but there's still a lot that I've forgotten. So I'm excited to get into it again

I loved it too! I just haven't touched truth tables or proofs since graduating, so I want to get back into it

Hahah, that’s fair 😂

Calculus textbook by Ron Larson

How to prove it third edition by Daniel J Velleman

I went with the same one I used back in college, and I ordered a newer version of the discrete math book I used for good measure

I finally caved and ordered a calculus textbook for fun

Yeah, I would definitely wait then! I just went ahead and bought mine a few months ago since I'm in a book club that's reading it

Leah is holding up a copy of the book Designing Data Intensive Applications, which is opened to page 171.

Another year and I'm still trying to finish Designing Data Intensive Applications 😅

Because I didn't want to be attacked by them!

Happy Thursday!

Started the day off with a stream and now I'm pumped for the rest of the day and week 🔥

Thank you!!

I feel like I've started so many google courses on coursera but never finished them 😅

Which one were you working on?

Thank you! My goal is to finish at least one Udemy course 😂

Update: I made it up to module 4 out of 15 for the Udemy course! There's hope yet that I'll finish it before the end of the year

Happy Sunday!

I started working through a Udemy course that I bought back in 2024. Will 2026 finally be the year that I complete my first Udemy course? 😂
