My further advice is, as you get better in mathematics, you will personally be able to formalize much of the questions you had before. Speaking from experience, there were many theorems I never knew how to prove, but many years later I came up with my own proofs of them when I wondered about them again. But in order to "get better" in mathematics, you need to keep on moving. | |
| Nov 5 at 16:20 | comment | added | Agustin G. | I appreciate you answer :) . You are right in what you are saying, sometimes I have too noticed myself getting lost in trying to "formalize" everything and that can hold me back, as you mention. At the same time, I got into mathematics precisely because of the fact that, as I like to say, maths is "airtight". Once I get I grasp conceptually or intuitive about why something should hold, I really want to make sure I can prove it rigorously. Maybe I just have to find a good balance. | |
