Hi all,
So I got 2 months exactly before my exams and since I want to start from 0 again because I realized my base is not very well founded. So I'll take this weekend to go through my pre-calculus again and start my Spivak-Apostol schedule Monday. I need to polish my maths, start with the basics again.
I use Stewart in my college and I don't really like it. It has tons of exercises, that's good but Spivak and Apostol have loads of proofs and are more rigorous so I will be studying these 2 books only and in depth.
I'm making a plan to finish both Spivak and Apostol in 1.5-2 months. I'm not sure if it's doable(at 5 hours/day). I'm also planning to cover the exercises in Stewart.
However I'm not sure how to go about reading both of the at the same time, since Apostol has a different style altogether. Any help is appreciated.
Also, I would like to know how to go about in solving multiple choice questions. I always get stuck on the true-false questions and the problem is we have one of the final papers which is just multiple choice. I'm guessing I need to know all my concepts at my finger-tips and that's my main problem. I need to polish my concepts and memorize them. What would be the best way around the concepts? I mean, how to I go about knowing what to know?
