Struggling with the exercises in Terence Tao's book Analysis 1

Hi everyone, I'm reading Terence Tao's book "Analysis 1." Is it normal for me to have extreme difficulty with the exercises in Chapter 2? Some of them seem truly impossible to me, as if he hadn't yet given me the tools to solve them. What should I do in these cases? Should I bookmark it and come back after continuing with the book, or should I keep trying until I get it right?

Fountain pens probably aren't for me? Any alternatives?

Hi everyone, I recently tried two fountain pens (a Pilot Kakuno and an Aurora Optima), but I'm having serious problems with the writing (ink often doesn't come out). Is it likely because I'm holding the pen incorrectly? My grip is a bit strange. I initially wanted to use fountain pens because they don't require pressure. What other types of pens would you recommend? I was thinking about rollerballs. Does that make sense as a switch? Will I have writing problems with them? Do you have any recommendations for inexpensive but effective models? Perhaps refillable ones with fountain pen ink?

I just wanted to tell you that you are my heroes

Hi everyone, I'm 19 and I'm a UHR (psychosis), and I have AVPD, so I'm not schizophrenic and luckily I've never had a psychosis, and since I stopped taking Abilify (I was taking 10 mg, I gradually reduced it under the supervision (although not the consent) of my psychiatrist), I thought I was finally done having those strange pre-psychotic ideas.. until a few hours ago, I've been in bed for hours, I haven't left the house for days because I feel extremely inadequate to the outside world and I hate myself with all my heart, and right now I imagine a bird-man walking and watching me, very embarrassing I know, but it gives me extreme fear, also there's an envelope in my room, and I don't know if the string I see on it exists or if I'm imagining it. In any case, what I wanted to say with this post to all of you who have had a psychosis: you are truly my heroes, my brain goes crazy just thinking about it, I just can't quantify the fear that can be felt in a moment like that, I really think that you are resilient in a unique way, I would like to hug you all, sorry for the long/useless post

Ciao a tutti, sto per finire il liceo e prenderò al 99% matematica come corso di laurea. Siccome vorrei iniziare già da adesso a studiare come autodidatta, volevo chiedervi: quali libri specifici vengono usati per Analisi e Algebra Lineare in questo corso? Secondo voi 'Analysis' di Terence Tao può andare bene? Sono abituato a studiare in inglese, ma anche un libro in italiano andrebbe bene.
