>How do I git gud at proofs?
Just practice. Read through the famous ones and understand them, then do some.

Pretty hard to define the line where it becomes "pure math autism," though. Proofs are about as "pure math" as it gets.

>>9152812
honestly unless you have done a LARGE amount of self education or go to a dumpster school you are going to get absolutely wrecked trying to jump to applied math from me

I've done a decent amount, but what are some topics you recommend mastering before proceeding? I was mainly interested in the numerical computing aspect of it,

You won't be as good. Don't bother.

>I'm doing a Maths/EE double major, and only have a year left

DESU OP, I can't sympathize with that feel

I would suggest a Master's degree, if you go that route at all. I'm sure those kinds of programs would be much more lenient towards somebody with your background.This way, you can get a strong footing in modern numerical techniques and computation, without either a) getting rejected outright or b) wasting your time.

You must realize that the people who are applying to decent Ph D programs in mathematics have had their eye on it for quite some time. If you're asking how to get better at proofs now, you wouldn't make it past the entrance/qualifying exams.

Best of luck, OP.

I already did undergraduate algorithms/ numerical computing research. I just want to make sure I don't have any areas where my skills are weak.

You can start by actually doing something other then pretending and roleplaying as someone that is actually doing something, faggot
