Notes for courses taken at Harvard (2015-2019)

There are some great notes on Mathematics taken from a former student at Cambridge (now doing a PhD at Harvard). They are ridiculously good quality and lecturers had to ask Dexter to take down notes a term at a time to ensure students weren&#x27;t skipping lectures. The notes cover a lot more than what a standard student would do over 3 years undergrad + 1 year graduate (masters).<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dec41.user.srcf.net&#x2F;notes" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dec41.user.srcf.net&#x2F;notes</a>

It may not seem obvious to everyone, but the value is <i>taking the notes</i> (helps learning significantly), not reading them without context after the fact.<p>People who are interested in learning a subject without attending lectures would be better served by a textbook in the field.

If Dongryul would add the latex files to the repo and use more descriptive folder names, I suspect that he&#x27;d see some pull requests come in to fix errata. If the coursework started at an undergraduate level, I would have been happy to help :-)

Does anyone have adequate resources to share on learning Math &quot;from scratch&quot;? I must shamefully admit that anything beyond the basic symbols is entirely foreign to me.

From the authors website...<p>&quot;These notes are of pretty poor quality, since with I was lost with high probability when I wrote them&quot;

This is not how I make notes. This is way beyond my note-taking skills and I cannot say anything else than I am deeply impressed!<p>High quality notes is of highest value to yourself, or others, as has been proven many times before. My favourite example is the notes taken by Marcel Grossmann, used by Albert Einstein.

The mod probably should put back the word math in the title

You can take 11 modules in one semester? How do you do that? Even assuming they are all 2h per week, do you have to look at the academic calender (or timetable) and try to find all courses which dont overlap?

Anyone seen something like this for medicine? I&#x27;d look to show my daughter that wants to be a medic...

Seems like a solid resource. In case others were wondering which courses were what - there&#x27;s an index here <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;abel.math.harvard.edu&#x2F;pamphlets&#x2F;courses.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;abel.math.harvard.edu&#x2F;pamphlets&#x2F;courses.html</a>

This is an impressive course load ... looks like he started by taking Math 55 freshman year, reputedly the hardest freshman math course in the country.
