Question

Don't know what to do, how do I relearn all this maths!

Answer 1

Hi. Don’t take this the wrong way but there are a lot of variables (pun intended) in what works for each individual.  That said, very cool to be doing the masters.

I might suggest that you get a hold if whatever syllabus exists for each course and look at any stated prerequisites. If you know the course texts this will help too.

I suspect that you might remember more than you think. Are you open to trying problems in the prerequisites and gauging your strengths and gaps?  That might allow you to focus on the areas that need the most effort. For me in any endeavor its never equal in need.

Only you know what works for your review method but the items above may help you set a framework for review. One thought from experience; only working real problems will cement what you need.

Answer 2

Having completed a math undergraduate degree, you’re probably in as good a position as anyone on this sub to answer this question.

But if I was in your position I’d probably start by going over the masters content and only reviewing old material when you come across it (and don’t remember it). Like totoro said, you probably remember more than you think.

Additionally it doesn’t make sense to review material unless it’s relevant to your masters, and the best way of knowing what is relevant is by jumping into the masters content.
