So, you’ve decided you want to be a mathematician?
Welcome to the dark side. Here, have a cookie.
This page will point you at what I think are the most useful posts to help you develop the skills, knowledge and mindset that will help you along your path.
You might do well to get yourself a copy of AS- and A-Level Maths For Dummies – it’s aimed at the old A-level spec, but the maths in it is absolutely solid((and the technical editing is second to none.))
I suggest using one of the posts below as a jumping-off point. See how you get on!
