I'm currently studying Computer Science and we have subjects Analysis I, II and III.
I've always had a natural love for mathematics, but Analysis really confuses me. I mean, I understand most of the concepts used for solving problems, but when it comes to theory it seems so bloated and scattered that it's hard to make sense out of it all. No structure at all - just hundreds and hundreds of proofs, building one on top of the other, without any apparent meaning...how does one make sense out of it? I really don't want to go through college without learning every single thing there is to know.
TL;DR Analysis doesn't make sense to me. How do I make it make sense to me?

If these are Analysis courses for CS majors then drop those and take it under the math department.
Angel Green
...I can't really "drop" courses and take another ones, it's not how it works on my college. I enrolled in a specific department and I have my own set of subjects which I have to pass in order to finish the semester. An option to "drop class" doesn't exist.
>inb4 meme college Yeah, Bosnian education sucks.
Luis Hill
Buy Understanding Analysis by Abbott, read it, then move onto Rudin.
Colton Anderson
What topics are covered? Metric spaces, manifolds, function spaces, measures?
Asher Wright
>math courses by non-math department Thank God I didn't have this shit in my uni. Can't imagine how horrible it would be.
Ryan Price
I bet Analysis I, II and III are just fancy names of the usual Calc I, II and III.
OP is most definitely doing a meme degree.
Jeremiah Roberts
you are right help me pls
Samuel Nelson
rip
What kinds of proofs are you doing and why do you not see meaning in them?
Nathan Lewis
OP, don't you even find those courses beautiful?
Jaxon Sullivan
Fuck off. Real analysis is useful to find some real functions-related algorithms, calculate complexities and proving algorithms. Any CS major who doesn't do math is a confirmed code monkey.
Ayden Morris
>Calc Isn't that, like, a high-school subject?
Jeremiah Moore
You misread his post. He saying he should do the full course instead of watered down CS version.
Adrian James
>CS >not maths maybe in your shitty uni mate :^)
Logan Martin
>muh set notation, logical qualifiers, and 10 line induction proofs are so HARDC0R3!
Kevin Young
Why would a CS major need real analysis, the least useful field of math and the one most far removed from CS?
OP would be better off dropping analysis and taking a real combinatorics course.
Owen Price
>real analysis, the least useful field of math and the one most far removed from CS
The obliviousness of CS majors never ceases to amaze me.
>a real combinatorics course
Undergrad combinatorics courses are a joke. He's better off learning analysis and then doing a graduate course(s) on combinatorics.

Most high schools around the world barely finish Calculus I.
Brayden Ross
>implying pic related are the last questions of section 1 of my final high school maths exam, which is a bit more advanced calculus
Xavier Jenkins
what the fuck. Where are you from?
John Howard
It's the advanced further maths exam from UK. To be fair, most only do normal maths or just further maths.
Christian Reyes
Analysis is achieved by being open-minded and bright. It can't be taught, only accepted as a gift of intelligence.
Many people can't see the best answer because that would involve working and having attention, skill and coordination. Lottery ticket sales show how many people have nothing but luck as their hope. They're not good analysts in any field, notably odds.
Isaac Sanchez
Stop being such a brainlet, for one.
Jordan Richardson
College in general, and comp sci specifically are not designed to learn everything possible. Is just shitty job training you pay for instead of a company wasting money on you.
Anthony Peterson
It's great that you get to sort of choose already in HS. Here you're stuck with the standard curriculum or vocational which is for literal retards.
