This video made me realize I was never actually good at math, I was just really good at memorizing patterns/answers for math exams. Only to forget all of it soon after, since I don't get to use that level of math often. I'm definitely interested in learning it now, since my future career requires it (3D software engineer).
To give you a feedback regarding the question if anyone can do math... I suck at math. Always hated it. But currently working on a pretty sophisticated procedural modelling algorithm for Blender that requires fair amount of mathematical thinking regardless. Am I good at math? Hell no. But just like it was already said in the video, I sit down and work it anyway. Results are there and they keep me motivated to work it further even more every day.
Those are the teachers that say ”you don’t need to understand why, just remember it”. Ehhh??!😮 I’m taking a guess now, but students would probably remember IF they understood what they are doing instead of tubling around in a fog filled with numbers and problems they don’t know how to tackle.
Yes! I was naturally pretty good at math but got completely disinterested in it after asking my teacher why a certain thing worked and they replied with "don't worry about that, it just is". 20 years later I'm finally picking math up again now I have the resources to ask why and get an answer.
Lol, sadly too many people have had parents like this which is no way to make someone get better. Once my dad went on a walk to calm himself down, when he tried to teach me about some historic event for an upcoming exam in high school. Why is the go to thing ”shouldn’t you know this”, when there still is a struggle. So mean😂❤
Awesome video. I was really bad at math in high school, I was really good at other subjects but really disliked and was bad at maths. When I started uni I realized how important maths are and I changed my toughts about it, started studying computer science and now I currently really like pure mathematics and using proof assistants like Coq, Agda and Lean to formalize mathematics and software. I know a lot of people like me that was good/normal at humanities but hated maths. I think if you want to be good at it you can. But tbh i think the reason many dislike maths or think that they aren't good is that even at the level of linear algebra, calculus, etc. the subjects are boring. I think it only gets interesting after that when you have "mathematical maturity" and can formalize (or make mathematical models) and prove stuff by yourself: it becomes like a second language.
found ur account yesterday and i ended up here because i was tryna figure out is it only me who struggles with cs and coding or is it everyone else as well and after watching your last video im damn sure its a universal thing. lovee youu
its true i went to further maths and mechanics 1- 3 night classes just to see how far i could push myself and wrote my national exams in 2 years and passed with B's @ age 26
anyone can learn math. I'm a high school drop out that went to Georgia Institute of Technology for five years. I made a C in calculus 3. It was tough, but I was young back then. I also started college at 17 then I aged to 19 then I was accepted into a top university. I never passed high school math. I had a F in algebra 2 at age 16 then I dropped out. Good luck with math, it's not hard.
Fun fact! Some people have a learning disability called dyscalculia, resulting in difficulty comprehending arithmetic, which can massively hinder their ability to learn maths. However, while it makes it much more difficult to understand maths, we've developed techniques to visualise and explain the concepts better to students with this expertise, and it's not impossible to get a good grade if they have proper help and put in enough effort. (Enough, unfortunately, being a lot in this case). While I'm not an expert on this, coincidently, my mom actually is, and she does one-on-one tutoring with quite a few students, including those with dyscalculia and those with a lower IQ. Quite a few students struggled but did a good job on the exams, so it's never impossible to improve your maths skills, even a little bit. But by no means does that mean it will always be easy.
Mathematics makes heavy demands on working memory capacity and processing speed - the more advanced the mathematics, the greater the demands are - since mathematical reasoning involves holding many abstract variables in imagination at once and manipulating them before they're lost (working memory is highly volatile). It also just so happens that working memory capacity and processing speed are the main factors underlying IQ. Given the average IQ of mathematicians is 143 from US employment data, with the lowest recorded score being 115, I would imagine that you're probably at least 130 if you've got a maths and cs degree; you may not feel like anything special intellectually, but that's probably just because you surrounded yourself with other people with high IQs so have a warped perception of the intellectual capacity of the average person. I just don't see someone with average intelligence ever grasping the epsilon-delta definition of a limit, let alone studying Galois theory or algebraic topology.
I cant and i can as in i cant do math until i need to math meaning if i need to buy somwthing and i jave x amount of money i can magically do quick math or if my paycheck looking low or if i want to guess how big my paycheck will be i magically can do math but if someone ask me randomly whats 2+2 ill freak out and even if i write it down i wont get it
That thumbnail is fiiiire
This is so weird i spent the day relearning linear algebra and other math topics and she drops this. 😂
When you think you are bad at something and you want to get better at it, that is when patience comes in to play.

the big problem (imho) with math is that teachers (mostly) dont explain "why"
if u get the "why", it's beatiful (and easy)

Assuming you don’t have a good teacher - it becomes a game of how well you can teach yourself math.
Man I can't believe that earlier today I was thinking to myself "oh, I need to check if there's a new projectMaria video" and there really was.
pause your math questions everybody, projectMaria just dropped another one
Right now I am struggling through Calculus I, this video couldn't drop at a better time 😅
math isnt just numbers, its also logic and pattern recognition which everyone uses everyday.
its true i went to further maths and mechanics 1- 3 night classes just to see how far i could push myself and wrote my national exams in 2 years and passed with B's @ age 26
maria cooked!!!

I think we are overestimating the work it takes to build simple web apis using Spring Boot or something...
It's a shame there was no mention of dyscalculia.
i want to be your project maria
hell no, she got too much trust in humanity
I cant and i can as in i cant do math until i need to math meaning if i need to buy somwthing and i jave x amount of money i can magically do quick math or if my paycheck looking low or if i want to guess how big my paycheck will be i magically can do math but if someone ask me randomly whats 2+2 ill freak out and even if i write it down i wont get it
Hello Maria, have you taken Calc III?
What was your major?
Hey Maria, Mario here 😅 Can you tell me the model of your keyboard?
first, hey maria🙂
No i waa first
@@eyeronic_099 nope🙂
This is math sqrt-1sqrt64sum pi 😅😊
I though your dad had russian accent
why do u need meth when ypu have math
First
I didn't skip sponsor's ad, google extension did it for me. Can't do anything with it, sowy
