I've taken calculus through multivariable and a calculus-based statistics class. However, I struggled with some of the proof stuff in Calc II, and I'm seeing now that that's probably going to burn me unless I get it fixed before classes start again in January. I'm pretty nervous for it.

Are there things I should review in preparation? How do you even get better at proofs? My class will be using A Book of Abstract Algebra, Second Edition by Pinter.

In order to prepare for a course in abstract algebra follow these steps,

(1)(1) Familiarize yourself with ,,,R,Z,Q,C.

  -Understand how arithmetic operations such as work in generality.

(2)(2) Get used to modular arithmetic now if you haven't done so already.

  -this will help you understand how congruences in different mods work.

(3)(3) Definitions are you friend.

  -As it has been stated before, "you will not just stumble onto a proof in 

   abstract algebra.

(4)(4) Review basic number theory concepts such as gcd, lcm, divisors, prime factorization.

  -This will help when dealing with the euclidean algorithm and much more.

(5)(5) Be comfortable with the binomial theorem.

  -This will help when you need to derive multiple angle formulas.

Lastly, just get an old syllabus and really try to understand the definitions. Play with them and do a lot of examples.
