"Princeton Lectures in Analysis"
by E. M. Stein , and R. Shakarchi.

These are one of the most influential series covering mathematical analysis. They're based on a sequence of intensive undergraduate courses Stein taught at Princeton.

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Cells integrate signals into decision-making. But how do levels of signaling influence cell-fate transitions? Is more always better? Or is there an “optimal” level for cell-fate programming? If we could tune signaling, could optimize production of neurons? Read on! (1/n)🧵

i had this friend back in college; brilliant guy.

he’d spend nights building random games, writing weird algorithms just because he could.
never for grades, never for recognition; just pure obsession with building.

he was the smartest person i knew.
the kind who didn’t even need to try.
everyone knew he was the class topper; but he only had two friends. me and one other guy.

he never went out. never talked to anyone.
just sat in his room, building stuff no one ever saw.

fast forward a few years; he’s at a stable job now, quiet, low profile, doing okay.
but every time i talk to him, i can hear it; that spark he had is gone.

so don’t be that guy.
don’t lock yourself in the room forever.
build; but also show what you build.
talk to people. share your work.
make friends. go to events. collaborate.

engineering is not meant to be a solo act.
if you build alone forever,
the world will never know how good you really are.

I did not realized that “Learning Theory from First Principles” has been published. It is still freely available. I really like this book, for its choice of topics. It covers everything that matters.

[Mathieu @miniapeur]

I'm looking for mathematics book full of problems to solve and, ideally, their solutions. I want to start solving at least one problem a day and it's easier if I can just browse through a book. It should be at least undergrad level. I am open to a book covering several topics or specific topics such as linear algebra, probability, analysis, statistics, etc.
