Then getting stuck with one question halfway through, switching to a different one, restarting the question at a later stage.

Surprisingly accurate. I hated proofs. I debated being a math major, but once I took proofs I knew I made the right call going into engineering. I actually spent more time asking my engineering professors for applications since very few of my EE professors gave them. I remember my controls classes were particularly bad about that. My methods class was even worse about it. I struggled a lot in those classes for that reason.
@@DeathnoteBB Engineering school requires math. Calculus, and NO way around that. However, practical day-to-day engineering involves mabye 5% of the mat we ever learn.
Him: "Why the hell- does everyone look like they know what they're doing?" Me: Don't mind me I'm just writing my name slowly pretending I'm not a left out.
My math classes always hated me, son of an engineer and an accountant...math is in my blood as is efficient use of time. I'd sleep in class, do no homework, ace the tests without studying completely destroying the curve for everyone else on the tests. Calculus and advanced calc included. Fun times.
You know what's even worse than opening a test and not recognising anything. Recognising everything but not being quite able to get it. In thermodynamic this demoralised me so much I actually tried to calculate the heat absorbed by the system during an adiabatic process using the first law. When I succeeded and got a zero I gave myself the biggest facepalm of my life (thankfully I passed the test)
I had a persistent mental block with statics exactly like you just described. I still don’t understand why because it’s not a terribly complicated class. I guess I just found it much less intuitive than dynamic mechanics
One of the worst parts was trying to understand what the teacher was writing on the board for an hour only to realize it was a proof and we only need to know the equation he comes up with in the end
@@maruManU210 But it's very efficient. At this level (the level of math we did), if you don't understand the proofs, and even if you understand them but can't do them yourself, you can no longer follow this level of math. It goes hand in hand.
My Calc II prof actually loved engineering and physics and was more than happy to discuss practicalities of mathematical models and their real world limitations. Awesome professor.
One day, two engineers were tasked with attaching wires to some poles. They thought to measure the height of all the poles and hence calculate the estimated total length of wire required by calculating the curves. They kept thinking for much time while standing below the pole but couldn't come up with a decent idea; they thought about measuring the angle, but the surrounding terrain was not smooth, they thought of using a ladder, but it couldn't be procured in the middle of nowhere, they thought of tying a stone to a rope and throwing it upwards, but realized that it would be very inaccurate. They were out of ideas. A mechanic happened to be passing by, and seeing the confused faces of those two engineers, he decided to help them. He enquired about the problem and promptly unscrewed the pole from the base, laid it down, measured it, and screwed it back. He told result to the engineers and bid them farewell. Engineer 1 : "What the hell did he just do?" Engineer 2 : "Yes, what an absolute fool! He had to calculate the *height* , not the *length* ."
Funny story, my differential equations professor was so awful that I gave up on the homework, got an average of 40% on the exams, and still curved up to an A.
A video has never described my college life so well. Homework was extra credit for my calculus class. So i only ever touched the parts where I was confused, until i understood it, my papers would end up looking like some crazy person drawing scribbles. The Professor always bashed on the low test scores because of the correlation of no homework and low test scores (he showed an anonymous graph of the class test scores). Of course I was the one that always passed the test even though I turned in no HW. So there was always a stray dot in the graph. I was actually proud of myself for being such an under achievier.
Where the fuck did you go? My school has an overreliance on homework making it worth 30% of the final grade and christ it is the most tedious boring shit that makes me not want to do the math instead of helping me memorize it, even when I don't need to...
My fondest memories of first year math was giving up on the last question 5 minutes before the end of the exam and looking around the room at either 1) students crying 2) students flipping through blank pages
Was taking a strength of materials class, thought I was struggling, looked around and saw people with their heads down, crying etc, and I smiled…..curve is coming
I remember that during an statistics 2 exam a girl just started crying sitting right behind me. The teacher gave her water and took her out of the classroom. I think she was failing the class for the 2nd time. That was absolutely TERRIFYING, after that I aced that class and finished with the highest grade of the class for the first and last time as Any respectable engineer should.
Calc 2 was me and 10 other people in the class still "taking" (suffering) the final 2 hours after it was supposed to be over because the professor had a free period and let us keep going. I wanted to just drop dead so I could stop looking at the paper. At least it was obvious that everyone spending 3.5 hours on a 1.5 hour exam were all in the same boat.
@@grandmastergyorogyoro532So true. It is funny as I used numbers more in my undergrad physics classes then in my undergrad and grad classes in math combined.
I remember in my pure math courses, there was often some guy asking what the applications were. He filled me with the superiority and hubris I needed to succeed.
as someone who did math at uni, my favourite bit was when he tries to answer all remaining questions after the announcement that there's 30 seconds to go with one-word answers! xD
I have never taken a test without even knowing a single answer. But there was one time I went to a test not even knowing the chapter names, I hated the class, the professor and the material so much I ignored it all. It is a form of scarily dangerous freedom you feel sitting there in that room filled with sorrow, despair, effort, tension and determination while you are the only one that can be that free with no care in the world. I felt, alive.
Actually did the calculation at the end for every single class. Wondering my range for the final. For Calc 1 I needed a 97 to get an A, and told my prof ahead of time. Only got a 94 but he gave me the “97”. It does pay off.
@@lillyluna2449 Yeah if I did that, my profs would rather push the cutoff higher rather than bring it down. So in this case, even if I'd gotten 97, I'd just be told that the you now need 98 for an A and to go screw myself..
Dude last spring in a math class I calculated my grade every week and by the end of the semester I was looking at barely passing by a percent if my final grade was generous. So the semester ends and the proff doesnt post a grade for a month, I wrote an email to the omsbudsman asking wtf and then a few days later I had an A! Lol wtf
@@lillyluna2449 If you're a motivated student, they will try helping you with your goal a bit. See it like that, if the professor is motivated, he wants to reward your motivation and hard work and if the professor is unmotivated, he'll still help you because he just wants to be done with it and not have some nerds argue with him about a few %.
I love Canvas because the grade distribution on every assignment lets you better calculate future effort requirements. The only problem is fully trusting the distributions prior to course drop date.
'Why the hell does everyone look like they know what they're doing?', that's painfully accurate. I just finished my first year and really need to step it up.
When I went to Uni to study Engineering 30 years ago, we had this saying: *_"51% is 1% wasted effort."_* There was a huge effort required just to pass ... plus so many other classes with difficult material that the effort required to pass _everything_ was just exhausting. Getting more than a pass mark on one was a bad tradeoff if it meant failing something else ....
@@jmw1500 probably. All engineering math is calc 1,2, stats 2 and then there's a weird calc 3 The rest is application theory of things like how do fluids work, how does heat work, or if your a civil engineer sum forces =0

@@Mac-hr9rg Calc 2 must be different at different colleges because every once in a while I hear someone say calc 2 was easy. That was the most difficult class I've ever taken in my life. Even people I know who aced it thought it was hard. I don't know how that class could be easy unless you somehow already had exposure to the material beforehand. I'm a CS major and my OOP class is like that. It's relatively easy compared to my other courses because I taught myself programming and OOP a little while back. Many people who've had zero exposure are really struggling. I think that's what the situation is like for calc 2, or it's just easier depending on your school.
@@Mac-hr9rg I'm telling you that you misinterpreted what I said. I'm the one who isn't bright when one of us can't interpret common english? That makes no sense. Then you're throwing ad hominems like a child. Bye.
This made me feel grateful to have attended a tech uni who had had the wisdom to teach “service”/non-majors’ versions and math versions of courses like calculus, linear algebra and differential equations. Even though this meant we had to suffer harsher grading (e.g., math dept never curved its own majors but did the non-majors every other year; presumably pile-ups of failing students had to be cleared to avoid graduation delays in other departments) I realise now it was still a good idea to separate us in all courses. Especially as a math major who even within math had a more obscure “pure math” tastes, I reckon I may have had to skip classes or lost my mind.. All this to say, great video! It brought back very vivid times for me clearly ♥️
That calculation of trying to figure out the minimum scores you need to pass the course without being sure which of your projects, quizzes, or assignments the professor will actually count toward your grade. Hahahaha That's the where you become a true mathematician.
ok... so i'm doing a math major but honestly i can relate to the real world application part. many times i feel we're doing math for the sake of math and it can get really annoying
Too many of us probably did this. I personally spread the effort over all the assignments and tried to make my tests as irrelevant as possible. For me that spreads the effort most effectively across the whole course with the added benefit of lower mental stress at the most critical times.
5:28 bro I do this sooo much lol. I always weigh the odds of my getting a good score just in case I don't feel like solving a problem. I overcomplicate things too much
I used to think that the “what’s a proof” bit was just a joke… until I had a student deadpan say to me “I don’t know what this question asking me”… it was a proof question.

I am blown away at how generic the experience of studying engineering is. I finished studying almost a decade ago and I still remember at the beginning of every exam going through the whole thing, choosing the questions that I felt confident answering, and doing a quick marks calculation to see how to maximize the points/time ratio. Then getting stuck with one question halfway through, switching to a different one, restarting the question at a later stage.
Im doing engineering right now, nothing has changed 😂
things like this dont tend to change, you could go back a hundred years and it'd be the same.
Lmfao what the fuck I just had my first exam and did the exact same thing
Unrealistic, I can actually understand the professor through his accent.
I think that he's pretty clear for the most part and can usually infer the missing bits if I somehow can't make it out. Same goes for his videos.
The professor doesn’t sound like a person from Russia that just learnt English last week. Unrealistic
I just want everyone to know that I am the 420th like. Relevant because with the power of weed suddenly accents become intelligible. Don't ask me why, it just happens.
@@Silent. he's 99% german. I'm from Germany and here we have this accent.
I'm pretty sure.
(It would also make sense, because he mentioned "is Proof a german word for..")
Life would be so much easier with professors you could understand.

Anyways, that's what I was taught in school.
2:45 after getting my degree, this is so spot on. I had a friend, don’t know how he graduated, but the most effort I had ever seen him put into something was this really well made spreadsheet to see how poorly he could do on the final to pass the class and walk at graduation. The final was only a couple days away and he hadn’t even started reviewing material.

Surprisingly accurate. I hated proofs. I debated being a math major, but once I took proofs I knew I made the right call going into engineering. I actually spent more time asking my engineering professors for applications since very few of my EE professors gave them. I remember my controls classes were particularly bad about that. My methods class was even worse about it. I struggled a lot in those classes for that reason.
Does engineering not require math?
@@DeathnoteBB Yes, but not proofs.
@@DeathnoteBB Engineering school requires math. Calculus, and NO way around that. However, practical day-to-day engineering involves mabye 5% of the mat we ever learn.

Holy shit this is so true, but not for everybody though
My math classes always hated me, son of an engineer and an accountant...math is in my blood as is efficient use of time. I'd sleep in class, do no homework, ace the tests without studying completely destroying the curve for everyone else on the tests. Calculus and advanced calc included. Fun times.
Calculating how much you need for a certain grade - oh, the memories!
Pretty sure I did this more than actually studying
Did it for chemistry in first year, undergrad... My weakest subject. Got an unexpected A though
I do it all the time. If I need a 50 on the final to get an A, why study?
Somehow I did that in Japanese tests from 3-7 th Grade but I still have ways to go
Start off really strong because the material is easy. After that you can usually pass with failing the final hehe
You know what's even worse than opening a test and not recognising anything. Recognising everything but not being quite able to get it. In thermodynamic this demoralised me so much I actually tried to calculate the heat absorbed by the system during an adiabatic process using the first law. When I succeeded and got a zero I gave myself the biggest facepalm of my life (thankfully I passed the test)

Physics in a nutshell for me
I had a persistent mental block with statics exactly like you just described. I still don’t understand why because it’s not a terribly complicated class. I guess I just found it much less intuitive than dynamic mechanics
One of the worst parts was trying to understand what the teacher was writing on the board for an hour only to realize it was a proof and we only need to know the equation he comes up with in the end
That was the best part, coming out of a class with only an equation to memorize 😂

One day, two engineers were tasked with attaching wires to some poles. They thought to measure the height of all the poles and hence calculate the estimated total length of wire required by calculating the curves. They kept thinking for much time while standing below the pole but couldn't come up with a decent idea; they thought about measuring the angle, but the surrounding terrain was not smooth, they thought of using a ladder, but it couldn't be procured in the middle of nowhere, they thought of tying a stone to a rope and throwing it upwards, but realized that it would be very inaccurate. They were out of ideas.
A mechanic happened to be passing by, and seeing the confused faces of those two engineers, he decided to help them. He enquired about the problem and promptly unscrewed the pole from the base, laid it down, measured it, and screwed it back. He told result to the engineers and bid them farewell.

Engineer 2 : "Yes, what an absolute fool! He had to calculate the *height* , not the *length* ."

Funny story, my differential equations professor was so awful that I gave up on the homework, got an average of 40% on the exams, and still curved up to an A.
A video has never described my college life so well.
Homework was extra credit for my calculus class. So i only ever touched the parts where I was confused, until i understood it, my papers would end up looking like some crazy person drawing scribbles. The
Professor always bashed on the low test scores because of the correlation of no homework and low test scores (he showed an anonymous graph of the class test scores). Of course I was the one that always passed the test even though I turned in no HW. So there was always a stray dot in the graph. I was actually proud of myself for being such an under achievier.
Where the fuck did you go? My school has an overreliance on homework making it worth 30% of the final grade and christ it is the most tedious boring shit that makes me not want to do the math instead of helping me memorize it, even when I don't need to...

Yeah, for college prep school student, cal 1 and 2 was like this. Then, calc 3 and 4 came...
Was taking a strength of materials class, thought I was struggling, looked around and saw people with their heads down, crying etc, and I smiled…..curve is coming
I remember that during an statistics 2 exam a girl just started crying sitting right behind me. The teacher gave her water and took her out of the classroom. I think she was failing the class for the 2nd time. That was absolutely TERRIFYING, after that I aced that class and finished with the highest grade of the class for the first and last time as Any respectable engineer should.
Calc 2 was me and 10 other people in the class still "taking" (suffering) the final 2 hours after it was supposed to be over because the professor had a free period and let us keep going.
I wanted to just drop dead so I could stop looking at the paper. At least it was obvious that everyone spending 3.5 hours on a 1.5 hour exam were all in the same boat.

Even though this meant we had to suffer harsher grading (e.g., math dept never curved its own majors but did the non-majors every other year; presumably pile-ups of failing students had to be cleared to avoid graduation delays in other departments) I realise now it was still a good idea to separate us in all courses.
