Reading Groups
I organize two long-term online reading groups.
Proof-Based Math Readings
Proof-Based Math Readings is a free and independent online reading group where we study mathematics required in economics master’s/PhD programs using an intuitive approach.
This reading group has 27 members for now and accepts new members.
Our syllabuses and application form are available at github.com/zekiakyol/proof-based-math-readings
