{"product_id":"9780199661312","title":"How to Study as a Mathematics Major","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery year, thousands of students declare mathematics as their major. Many are extremely intelligent and hardworking. However, even the best will encounter challenges, because upper-level mathematics involves not only independent study and learning from lectures, but also a fundamental shift from calculation to proof. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shift is demanding but it need not be mysterious — research has revealed many insights into the mathematical thinking required, and this book translates these into practical advice for a student audience. It covers every aspect of studying as a mathematics major, from tackling abstract intellectual challenges to interacting with professors and making good use of study time. Part 1 discusses the nature of upper-level mathematics, and explains how students can adapt and extend their existing skills in order to develop good understanding. Part 2 covers study skills as these relate to mathematics, and suggests practical approaches to learning effectively while enjoying undergraduate life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the first mathematics-specific study guide, this friendly, practical text is essential reading for any mathematics major.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011962093808,"sku":"9780199661312","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199661312_p0.jpg?v=1763672063","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199661312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
