I'm starting my PhD on machine learning starting next spring.

I'll be honest with you: unless you are a genius, there's no way that, without mathematical training, you will understand in 2 months analysis and differential geometry without sounding like a dumbass when someone asks a question.

Not only becuause they're somewhat difficult subjects (not that much) but also because they build on other fields (algebra, topology).

So just try to find how to solve this problem without relying on learning this in 2 months.

And, by the way, for geometry read doCarmo. I liked it when I read it.

>I'm worrying right now because my math is pretty much shit thanks to my shitty undergrad CS courses. (No rigour maths, the hardest is probably Discrete math, my school didn't even offer Analysis, only Cal 1 2 3. Yes, the school is shit, don't ask its name).


Holy shit, which program give you an offer?.... I applied this year to several programs in the same area and they are very selective with the people they choose?

You are going straight to PhD from undergrad?

I'm doing my masters first precisely for the reasons you mentioned.

Also can you share any advice on how you got in? How strong was your CV?

Nice bait faggot.

My GPA is 3.8.
Got two papers published in my last year of undergrad. They are nothing much but it can make the prof know that I can write shit.
4 LoR.

I am not going to disclose that, sorry. But the one I got into was not that big in the field. I'm still worried because the prof seems to know his shit.

>>7838821
Thanks for the book list.
>>7838971
Welp. I think I will try to avoid having a head on discussion with the prof on something too rigorous for a while.

>>7838744
If you were admitted, that means your prof knows your current math level and thinks its manageable, so don't freak out. Start studying up some analysis but also let your prof know that you are lacking in some background material. Your profs job is to help you, not to call you out.

>Elementary

I always wonder if this means it will be much less advanced content than Rudin et. al., or if it's just a general substitute for "introductory".

It would really help if he knows about my math level by taking a look at my grade report.
I don't really want to talk directly to him about it. But if it comes to the worst and I can't get out, I think I will have to do it.

You should quit or your prof will eventually see what a fraud you are.

Quit the study and sell your fart box instead

You can sell fart boxes? I didn't know that.
