What are/ were some of your good mathematician's study habits that you found really worked for you? I'm a CS major at a respected school and have a solid GPA... However, I definitely lack when it comes to getting great grades in relatively higher level maths (300 and 400 level). I feel that even though I study a lot, I perhaps don't study effectively enough. I would like to ask for any tips/ tricks as to how you keep yourself focused, motivated etc that could perhaps help me or others. Thanks in advance.

    Why does this have 3 close votes as "not a real question"? Seems pretty real to me.2012-09-06

    `relatively higher level maths (300 and 400 level)` - what does that mean?2012-09-07

    Just for the record: I'm not the same Matt who asked the question and also not the Matt who posted an answer. But I *did* post the previous comment to the OP.2012-09-09

    @moose Some would consider the 300 and 400 level math classes as not being "higher level" compared to, say, 600 level courses. As an undergrad, these are usually the highest level courses that someone will take. I mean what I said, but to put it another way these courses are more difficult than 100 or 200 level, which I am accustomed to. Therefore they are higher level than what I am used to. So, relatively speaking these are higher level courses. I hope that clears it up for you.2012-09-09

    I think I have read something about this classification of math courses in levels before on wikipedia. But I don't know how it was called. Do you know a page where I can see which classes are which courses? Or do you know how this classification is called or who has created it?2012-09-10

    @RudytheReindeer, well, it seems more complex...(sorry, couldn't resist the pun)2017-03-10
