things i really want to learn
I have started my PhD and I’ve realized I want to learn a bunch of important things. Not all of them are directly relevant to my PhD topic.
In order of importance:
- Real Analysis I (80% done) - I still need to learn about pointwise convergence, uniform convergence and more importantly metric spaces (and a bit of topology). Liebl. I also want to do 3 chapters in Liebl volume II. Problem is I’m struggling to find time.
- Intro to manifolds by Loring Tu. Idk how many chapters to do.
- SAGT - spectral graph theory - first 4 chapters and then the heat kernel chapter.I want to understand the connection between the heat kernel and the Laplacian on graphs.
- Measure theory. Maybe not super relevant by maybe first 4 chapters of Folland. I also want to understand the connection between measure theory and probability theory.
- Basic SDE theory
- Information theory.
- Functional analysis (MIT has an OCW course)
- Dynamical systems by Srogatz. Kind of low priority.
