For a deeper dive into these subjects, I've been working my way through The Way of Analysis by Strichartz, Topology by Munkres, and Algebra: Chapter 0 by Aluffi. I've also started on Set Theory by Jech and Probability: A Comprehensive Course by Klenke but these are very formidable books. Another important book is Functions of One Complex Variable by Conway. For a starter on Special Relativity, I've also started on Geometry of Minkowski Spacetime by Naber.

@@earthagrawal9264 You can jump in and pretend to be an expert by writing fancy complex-looking equations and you can successfully do that maybe even professionally because many won't know any better to tell the difference. If you're not into that, I at least recommend studying mathematical logic and proof theory, and Mathematical Logic by Kleene seems like a good title. After that, probability is also important because it describes incomplete knowledge, and for that, analysis is required.

In theory that's great, the problem is, that in practice a) this drives the dunning-kruger syndrome and worse b) quite often the outcome is so distorted that is has nothing got to do any more with the original concepts, or what is communicated might even be plain wrong.

The smartest Person ever was of course von Neumann (who was the real star at the institute of advanced studies. Neither Einstein nor Gödel were,and didn't do any real science any more, but just lived of their former heroic deeds). Einstein was of course incredibly tenacious when thinking everything through. Gödel on the other side was just a crazed logician, like the weird uncle you kind of like, but rarely let out of the locked attic.

Good to see “How to lie with Statistics” is still there. I loaned my copy to a fellow student, about 1962, and never saw it again. Should be compulsory reading for all age 16+ students.

@@webdev8284 college takes about 4 years, depends where you are from in some cases. From there on, your graduate studies duration can take anywhere from 4-7 years. The duration of your graduate studies depend on your background, your selected area of research and the country that you are doing your phd in (for example in the US you will have to do some TA duties most likely and this adds up to your workload). In the US (at least) it also depends on the graduate program you are in. Some of them have requirements for you to take classes (lots of classes!) other might give you more workload for your TA duties etc. From what I can tell, the most reasonable estimate (including your master's) the graduate school takes about 5.5 years, but you might graduate at 6 because you might want to take some time to apply to jobs. I think my answer is too detailed, haha. Hopefully, I answered your question :)

Thanks, I definitely needed some STEM book recs. I just bought your first recommendation, "When Einstein Walked with Godel", using the affiliate link.

In Dutch high school, we have these two tracks for math, one for STEM and one for statistics

Very interesting list indeed. I would add a few recommendations, if you allow me: The Book of Why (Judea Pearl), Euclid's Window (Leonard Mlodinow), from the top of my mind...

I read Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku! It was one of the books that introduced me more to Nanotechnology and Quantum Computing.

Zack, I like your obvious enthusiasm for math and mathematical ideas, both new and old. Something I have been exploring recently is base twelve geometry, something that seems completely off the radar for most people. There is a type of dodecagon that exists on the base twelve coordinate plane that no one is aware of because we all use base ten. I find it interesting that if we all used base twelve we would be aware of this shape. It has a relationship with the circle that opens up new avenues of exploration. I made a video about it called Base Twelve Pi. Someone in our past knew about it because the geometry is hidden within the design of our numerals as well. Lots of interesting stuff. Now I just need to inspire people to check it out in order to get some feedback.

real nice recommendation 👌

Make a video about how to enter the space industry, like whether should we get a degree in aerospace or get a degree in mechanical engineering. Ohh and whether is it possible to get a master in aerospace by having a mechanical degree?

Let say, there are series of questions(psychology), you need to answer, then go through a process of system(philosophy), finally have you( the-reader) analyze your input from the questions you had just answer using the system, In conclusion, you unlock a series of patterns of your own purpose and creation of yourself?
