    At 43 and a a grade of a C in my last algebra class ( algebra 2 in 2000), I ended up going back to school and having to pass calculus for undergrad. Thanks to youtube, and the countless self study books out there I passed with an A. All the info in the world is out there for us to utilize. Just have to put in the study time. If I can somehow manage, anyone can!!

      ​@@tybeedave I assume you are not kidding. It can happen, yes. What do you think has thwarted you from achieving what you set out to? I am 48 and was very good at studies until Physics entered the scene in grade 7 or 8, sorry not sure which one. I enrolled into a bachelors in Comp SC and completed the course somehow but have never ever coded any program for a task given to me. That's not all. I was yet to make a way bigger mistake. It consisted in going to the US for my MS in Comp Sc. I could only comprehend much later what a colossal mistake that were to prove for me. Again, passed it somehow. Still, no difference, I couldn't code. I was good in some other subjects like languages, history, geography, communication with folks from diverse backgrounds across the globe, etc. Oh, I barely passed Drawing exams in school. Now, at nearly 48 years of age, I wonder where do I start afresh. I desire to talk to a counselor which isn't too easy in India. Hopefully, I will find a genuine person. Any replies and advice is greatly appreciated. Love all. 🙏

    👍My teacher cites Ramanujan as an autodidact from last century, refusing to let adversity hold him back. Himself growing up during WWII, advised us "Never underestimate the resources of poverty". Unable to afford books, he hand copied borrowed books, the first such exposure not requiring any thinking, just verbatim copying, typos, other grammatical errors all included!. The second exposure, i.e. during reading his own handwriting took a lot of time, began liking it more and more. Like him, having to learn 2 Languages at the same time, many of his students found Mathematics easier to learn than English.

      @@guild6343 Yeah I get that, but that was during the old days though. And just because he was a Brahmin and he had privileges he could also have chosen otherwise - to leave the subject and be something else. Of course caste-based oppression could have happened to perhaps the many possible brilliant minds here back then but the choice is all ours - whether to embrace one's powers and utilize one's resources to rise above all, or to stay low and stay put. There are many of us who got an ample amount of resources and yet don't make it to where they wanted to and simply drop off from the path they were in. Not that I'm justifying the caste privileges Ramanujan got but that very fact that we choose our destiny, even when God can alter parts of our life just for our good.

I know that it's just not good to talk about caste and stuff when all of us Indians are striving to progress in life and that the Constitution has now made opportunities equally available to anyone from anywhere in India, but that's just a fact worth reading and letting go of (or you can just choose to believe that our caste system did oppress the many highly intelligent from the lower castes too, back then; not now because we got reservations for any one from the communities that were oppressed earlier.

    Some people are Math Intuitives, Feynman was as well as an absolute Genius. Some people can learn math by "rote", which Feynman said was the way it was mostly taught...and taught wrong! Then there are the rest of us who found math to be as comfortable as doing you own self-appendectomy without anesthesia of any type... I took a general aptitude test in the early 90's, found I was severely handicapped in abstractions like math. I'd like to have a long chat with the math teachers I had who said "he could do much better if he just applied himself"... most died many years ago so I can't have that particular pleasure. One of my actual strengths was understanding Concepts, this got me thru 3 collage Physics courses with at least a C or better, Math is a "tool" not an end in itself unless your're one of the lucky few who are are adept at it.

    I love how Calculus teaches what algebra, geometry, and trigonometry don’t teach. Which is integration and differentiation. Or how to determine the sum or quantity of something by limits. Or how to find the value of something that is changing over time. But turn off to how higher mathematics says nothing about quantum physics other than deriving quantities for things that cannot be explained. Which is not the fault of mathematics. But is nevertheless something that physicists derive endless satisfaction from because it has elevated them. Even when their pet theories cannot be proven by experiment. But if the math proves their theories it must be right.

  • @tensortab8896

    I think the key idea of this book is that in order to learn to use calculus, and use it regularly (the same way many people regularly use algebra or trig) that you don't have to get all wrapped up in limits and theories. You can just learn the mechanics of the process, the same way you learned multiplication or long division. Not everybody is going to be a math professor. Newton and Liebnitz and all the others were geniuses. Most people can simply accept that and just learn the mechanics of calculus without getting all bogged down in theories and abstractions. I've never met a math professor that could accept this. They always think that if a student can't do proofs and know theory, then the knowledge gained somehow doesn't count.

    The main reason most calculus books and classes are so difficult to teach is that calculus is taught backwards. It is the introduction to the _integral_ calculus that must be taught _first,_ by showing the problem and how difficult it is to calculate certain varying quantities by a brute-force approximation. And only then a certain cool observation about areas can be introduced which involves another operation which is called _differentiation._ So the conclusion then is that integrating by brute force is extremely hard but it happens to be the inverse of a relatively easy operation (differentiation), so this can be used to do integration in a much easier way. It all then makes sense and follows a logical course. But it's invariably taught by pulling _differentiation_ out of thin air _first_ which to a newbie looks _completely_ whimsical, alien, incomprehensible, useless, and last but not least, impossible to understand how and why would anyone ever think of such a thing in the first place.

    • @JanPBtest
      @JanPBtest 3 месяца назад +4

      @@Treviscoe Yes but sometimes (in life in general 🙂) easier things are _much more confusing._ Another example of this is teaching the notion of limit using the epsilon-delta argument. It's VERY hard to explain it to most students because it's one-dimensional. It's MUCH easier to explain this concept using 2D (planar) drawings with no epsilon and no delta. And THEN one can show what it looks like in the 1D case. The reason this works much better is that everyone has a reasonably good graps of plane figures and drawings but doing the same in 1D is very opaque and weird to most people. It's just human psychology. And the reason it's not done in 2D is that it supposedly is "more difficult" to talk about functions of two variables. The trick is to introduce functions as acting on _points_ in _any space_ (or set) and proceed from there. Then the single real variable appears as a simple special case. I taught math for a couple of semesters and left as soon as I could because as a teacher you are terribly restricted by the syllabvus and the students are 100% focused on "passing tests", not on learning anything. Long story 😞

    richard f. is one of my idols. tks for the vid,
    may I offer these tidbits from the Popcorn Model of Nature's Reality.
    This is in the study of the Harmonics and the Harmony of Our Universe in the context of Everything:
    so,
    lets use a metaphor where 1 musical note, (*) , represents Nature's Reality;
    This note, (*) , represents the true existence of Nature's reality.
    This is the realm of the lord, the almighty GOOD (not a religion but an attitude). The real note in which everything resides. What follows are just harmonics of the supreme existence of reality.
    1st harmonic of reality (hor)* the human mind and the MotherVerse.
    2nd harmonic of reality * commonly referred to as our universe and where electromagnetic radiative force is dominant.
    3rd hor * dark matter, the strong nuclear force dominates.
    4th hor * the weak nuclear force dominates.
    5th hor * gravity, where the popcorn really explodes.
    6th hor * time, the here and now where the rubber meets the road.
    The 3rd, 4th, and 5th combine to create Dark Energy.
    This not everything. Undescribed harmonics extend, ad infinitum, above and below the note (*). The harmonics show that space that appears empty is never in fact empty.
    Between Nothing and Everything is Something :)

      @@markprange2430 Wow! I strongly recommend this. This was my introduction to calculus - I never took a formal calculus course but felt in my bones that I 'knew' the derivative better than those who had taken a course. I could be lazy but I knew that a traditional course would not work for me. Thanks for posting.

    Don't bring Ramanujam in this discussion. It is a distraction and religious mainly for some who want to defend reservation to Brahmins on education over 3000 years ago, and for little to no achievements other than superstitions which is being sold as probability.
