Advanced Problems in Mathematics is a series of books designed to help students work through STEP exam material. Like with [[UKMT Questions]]N and [[MAT Questions]]N, the idea is not to use flashcards to memorise the answers to questions but to help spot common patterns in order to help with problem solving.

These are miscellaneous notes I’ve made on things like textbooks, blog posts and mathematics. For book notes, see [[Book Notes]]N.

These are notes on books I’ve read, along with a rating and some extra random thoughts about them. Each one starts with a really stupid caveman explanation of the book, which I thought was funny a while ago but hurt to read a bit now. Notes on other things like textbooks, extra maths and articles can be found in [[Misc Notes]]N. Some of the notes contain flashcards, which are denoted by headings ending with two question marks, ?

Man has existential crisis about who he is and what the mind is. Notes My notes aren’t great for the first two sections, as I hadn’t started highlighting. I. A Sense of Self Borges and I Borges and I, by Jorge Luis Borges Autobiographical essay about the conflict between the self and the persona. People think about themselves differently to how they act. Which is the true “you”, the one out there in the world or the one in your thoughts?

Notes Measuring consciousness We now have technology that lets us point sensors at people’s heads and tell whether they are conscious even if they have full locked-in syndrome.
