I read the FAQ and I didn't consider this (that) inappropriate. I couldn't resist! People here are experts. All the experience here could help me.</p> <p>I'm starting my undergraduate studies in september. I was studying computer science but I'm switching majors. Now I'm going to study mathematics. I don't want to fail any class, and some recommendation from you would be useful.</p> <p>So I'd like to ask two questions:</p> <ul> <li>What would have been good for you to know before you started studying mathematics that you didn't know?</li> <li>Is there something that you did that helped you learn the most?</li> </ul> <p>Any kind of advice is appreciated. Thank you.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/28686/what-would-be-good-to-know-before-starting-my-undergraduate-studies-to-become-a-g/28740#28740 Comment by werrket werrket 2010-06-19T14:18:33Z 2010-06-19T14:18:33Z You're right; I forgot to tell where I'm going to be studying. I live in Venezuela and I'm going to study in the Simon Bol&#237;var University. This is the curriculum: <a href="http://mat.coord.usb.ve/pensum_eymc.htm" rel="nofollow">mat.coord.usb.ve/pensum_eymc.htm</a>. It's in spanish but I don't think it's very difficult to understand if you want to check it out. http://mathoverflow.net/questions/28686/what-would-be-good-to-know-before-starting-my-undergraduate-studies-to-become-a-g Comment by werrket werrket 2010-06-19T04:39:46Z 2010-06-19T04:39:46Z Thanks for the advice :) Do you have some more? http://mathoverflow.net/questions/28686/what-would-be-good-to-know-before-starting-my-undergraduate-studies-to-become-a-g Comment by werrket werrket 2010-06-18T23:26:41Z 2010-06-18T23:26:41Z Actually, I don't want to graduate as fast as I can, but I don't want to fail any course. That's what I meant by that. I feel like I lost time studying computer science and I don't want to waste any more.
