Notes I took for IB Analysis and Topology in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos in 2024. Aimed at second-year undergraduates. Hopefully I can provide some inutition that might not be present elsewhere.
Surprisingly not much! Familiarity with mathematical symbols (e.g. here). Basic set theory, for example definition and results regarding function preimage (e.g. preimage of union is union of preimages). Proofs of theorems from IA Analysis I are good to know but not needed; the theorem statements themselves are useful but easily googleable.
The following conventions are used for the sake of brevity:
defn = definition
iff = if and only if
⊂ means the same thing as ⊆ (i.e. "is a subset of, could be equal to")
Guide for New Visitors
This guide appears on every book's main page.
Making aesthetically pleasing maths content is hard. This website is my best attempt at solving all the small annoyances I've had while reading maths content over the years.
First, choose your favourite colour scheme by clicking the settings icon (found in the sidebar on desktop, and top bar on mobile). All the maths diagrams will change to match your choice!
Content is organized into books, which represent a chunk of teachable content (e.g. a set of lecture notes). Their contents can be viewed once inside the book. (Don't worry, there are no nested books, I'm not insane, etc)
