I eat in both spirals and in rows. Sometimes sticking with one method all the way through, sometimes alternating along the way. Additionally, sometimes I take great care to cleanly peck each and every kernel out of its socket. Other times I mow through it like a wild animal, bits of corn strewn around my mouth.

I have always loved math, and I always want to dive in deeper, but can never quite figure out exactly what area to jump into...



round robin all of them!


Statistics?


A large portion of my math courses in school were Statistics courses (as they were requirements). Spending 4 weeks learning how to use R every single class got old quick. The actual meat of the topics could have been more interesting with a proper approach.

My favorite topics that I have messed with so far are probably Number Theory and Logic. Pointers to resources or book recommendations welcome.


I very much enjoyed and learned from Ireland & Rosen's "A classical invitation to modern number theory". "Number Fields" by Marcus is also good, but that focuses more on the algebraic side of number theory.
