I want to teach absrtact algebra again. Its my favorite intro subject to advanced math and I’ve planned out how I would do it and I think I could give good perspective. I also sometimes think about how long it would take someone to learn everything neccesary to understand or do what I’m doing now. Assuming you’ve taken a proofs class you would need

Abstract Algbera (Groups, Rings and Fields, + Commutative Algebra)

Real and Complex Analysis

Topology

Algebraic Geometry

Algebraic Number Theory

Differeintial Geometry

Now that I look at it this doesn’t look like that much. I think I have to believe that because I do genuinely believe anyone could’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten to and comprehend this material. I also think most people could do it faster but idk.

The unique aspect of playing a video game in comparison to other forms of media is control. You have agency, albiet prescribed by the developers, to press the buttons at your fingertips and affect the world. From this comes my core opinion about whether I like a game or not, do I enjoy the gameplay.

Today I was very proud of myself. I have these days every once in a while where I feel like I genuinely understand something I am working on. Without days like this I don’t know if I would’ve made it this far in my program.
