6.042J (Math for CS) is pretty challenging. Anyone who worked through it have any tips when you're stuck? Maybe slightly easier problems to supplement with for practice?


Read an introduction to proofs oriented book such as Book of Proof or my personal favorite:

$150+? Holy fuck.


Hammack's Book of Proof is freely available online and has the solutions to all odd numbered exercises: http://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/


Yeah steep price, it was a required textbook for my intro to proofs class and I don't regret the purchase...it's one I'll be coming back to often throughout my undergrad.
