Hey Mike, your email read like I could have written it myself - it was so eerily similar to my experience right now. I wish you the best in setting your routine and getting it done. I'll be doing the same myself :)
Also, make sure that you sleep well at night. Sleep is very important, and you can focus better when you get enough sleep (like 7,8 hours aday). If you decide to study math in the morning (5,6 am), sleep at least at 10 pm.
One bit of advice I've had above and beyond what you mention is the idea that you imagine the person who has already attained their goal and ask what would they be doing right now? e.g. - "What would the person who is top of my class be doing right now?" - "Probably studying? - What would they be studying right now? - Probably thinking about that tough problem in the problem set assigned last week." - Maybe I should do that myself then.
"El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" - "God helps the one who wakes up early." From a latino studing electrical engineering, a daily routine 100% works. It's the secret formula to success in any field really! ~ 8:30am. Qigong; a spiritual reading; and sitting at the desk to study. ~ 8:45am. Brief breathing exercise and a visualization of my goals and myself succeeding them. ~ The next hour and a half is dedicated to focused trig and calc., depending on the day. ~ 10:20 to 11am. Workout and breakfast. Off to work for the next eight hours. ~ More time for study during the evening hours. A routine will transform you into a superior being.
I find it hard waking up early, and I'm sluggish in the morning. I made morning exercise into a routine, but I couldn't make studying into a routine the same way. What I found working for me is doing it at night. I write a to-do list for the day the night before. Whenever I saw "study" not done for today, I felt guilty when it was the most important undone task. Then, I'd tell myself "I can do just 5 minutes of this right now". And it worked! And then, bit by bit, every night, I'd do a little bit of studying. It made it so much easier to start, I wasn't afraid of it anymore. And I totally agree that doing anything, even working through a bad book, is better than doing nothing. Bad books reference better books, and following the crumbs leads to treasure. Just pause and think from time to time whether what you're doing is still useful or if you need to move on to something else.
My ideal routine: 1) wake up (EDIT: Piotr Wozniak, the brilliant creator of 'supermemo', wrote a compelling article on why alarm clocks are bad for cognition. I developed the habit of waking up when I needed to without an alarm.) 2) do a workout that energises me (mobility drills, hardstyle kettlebell swings until I cant pass 'the talk test', etc...) 3) do a centring breath (6 seconds inhale, 2 second hold, 7 seconds exhale) 4) ask myself "what would me at my best look like?" and hold that question in the back of my mind (takes 1 minute) this puts me in the proper frame of mind to study 5) look over my checklist for what I need to study that morning *(the night before I "pre-study" the material and make a checklist of what needs to be studied that morning so i dont waste any time when i study) 6) study with the flowmodoro technique; study until you find it hard to concentrate, then either close your eyes for 5 minutes and do box breaths, or briefly exercise for 5 minutes. 7) journal your progress for the day; did you complete your checklist? were you at your best? why? why not? etc... 8) late in the afternoon, after you take a nap, pre-study for 1 hour. Look up videos on successful pre-studying, the rule of thumb is that 1 hour of pre-study can save you 10 hours of studying in the future. Youre basically mapping out the concepts of the subject in question and building a framework to build off. Planning your study sessions will make you 10x more efficient. EDIT: read any and every article you can at supermemo.guru for more revolutionary tips on studying
Something that doesn't sound super fancy at first yet it's really effective when you actually do it - dopamine detox. I found that significantly limiting myself to stuff like continuous scrolling on social media, using my phone almost always, even when eating, playing video games way too much time, or even watching loads of entertainment, has considerably helped me regain my focus during studying. If I had to give one advice, that would be it.
You can even start small for awhile, like get up 20 mins. early and just flip through your book(s) and get inspired over time!!! Then start thinking about/working on a problem without thinking about solving it correctly. Just keep warming up each morning until you get so excited that you start getting up 40 mins. earlier, etc., and taking your studies more and more rigorously. Good luck! 🤗
Great video thank you! My problem is the actual learing & understanding. I remember my aunt when i was young spending hours with me daily trying to teach me division it took so long for me to just understand what she was trying to teach me 😢 i need my brain to understand information better 😢😢
As far as mathematical applications, there are many disciplines to learn from that can help math make sense. As a former graduate in economics, things just clicked. Most formulas in econometrics for example just premultiply both sides by its inverse to get a scalar estimator, whether you're getting the average or variance. Then there's some minute detail about getting the average per group mean for panel data estimators. It's not so bad even if intimidating. In economics it's all about finding the optimal solution when taking derivatives and growth rates are key in economics, so prepare to see a lot of division and root powers manipulating growth rates growing at logarithmic rates. Alright hope these will inspire you.
Do you have any tips on how a mathematics student can go about becoming better at theoretical physics? I find mathematics very intuitive to understand but I find the physics idea much harder to grasp.
I think this is a older video-which is just fine. Its so difficult to get back into a routine when the routine gets disrupted. I try to do math throughout the day. I do a x amount of problems each time throughout the day. It might be only 2 problems during one session. Then 10 math problems in the next session. Then maybe only 1 problem in the last session. Math is nothing but a game to me. I guess math is self gratification for me. I like knowing I can do most algebra and very simple calculus.
I am in the same boat as that person I’m struggling with geometry and calculus and I have PDD, a developmental disability also known as autism I know that Anthony ianni was very successful in sociology and has autism as well.
in portguese we say "deus ajuda quem cedo madruga", which, probably similarly to the spanish phrase, translates to "God helps those who wake up early", the same sense as "the early bird gets the worm"
"Madrugada" means early morning. I think it may be ambiguous whether the saying "El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" refers to staying up late or waking up early. You said "he who stays up late", but I always understood it as "he who wakes up early". I am originally from Mexico. I always see it as analogous to "the early bird gets the worm". EDIT: Yeah, madrugar as a verb is to wake up early. But people who stay up late may also say "We stayed up until la madrugada".
In Brazilian portuguese the same saying goes as "Deus ajuda quem cedo madruga", madrugar is a very unusual verb and rarely used outside this phrase but the combination with the "cedo" gives the interpretation as "he who wakes up early".
En Colombia también es muy usada esta frase. Se refiere más a levantarse muy temprano en la mañana y hacer las cosas más importantes a primera hora del día.
En Argentina, la frase 'Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda' indica que si te levantás temprano a trabajar o estudiar te irá mejor que a los que se levantan más tarde. No hace referencia a quedarte trabajando o estudiando hasta tarde.
I would add one thing. If you're not a morning person, do everything at the end of your day when you're awake (except, perhaps the exercise, do that earlier). It has the advantage that you'll have been doing the learning just before you go to bed, and your brain will keep working on it while you're asleep.
Great advice to get started right away and create a routine! My addition to that would be when you are planning out your routine and in the "preparation" phase to take a few minutes to have a plan for when you fail. Map out ahead of time what actions you'll take and what you'll say to yourself if you have to miss 3 days of practice, you woke up late, you don't understand something, etc. You need to be able to reassure yourself that failure will VERY likely be part of the process if you're a human, but it doesn't have to stop you from achieving your goals.
Thank you, often times cope with failure raw. But I probably should structure my mindset for failure a lot better. As for preparation I typically just meditate and sometimes overthink my plan. Everything that I decide on the long term is always written down in my journal.
U are motivating all people around the world to love, study maths. Thats great. I want to know is there any divine power or something that forces or inspires u to motivate us?
Let A, B, and C be sets. Suppose that f:A ➡B and g:B ➡ C are onto. Let x be an element of f: A to B and y be an element of g: B to C. Then we have gof(x) if and only if gof(y). If and only if go(f(x)), if and only if g(b), if and only if g(b) = C. Hence, we have concluded the proof. Jk.

Collecting signatures for the sorcerer to make his own book of abstract algebra.
On one video he said he had been working on a instruction book but put it aside or something.
Signed
Yes!!
Cosined* (pun intended)
Cosined
It takes only two weeks. Get it done.
Inspirational. Thank you.
Thank you for the advice and reading my email Math Sorcerer. I will take this advice to heart by starting TODAY!!!

@@saminhaque8472I’m glad we both know somebody out there has a very similar circumstance but DOESNT let it affect them. Good luck bro
You can do it, Mike! Just listen to the Math Sorcerer. He speaks truth.
Also, make sure that you sleep well at night. Sleep is very important, and you can focus better when you get enough sleep (like 7,8 hours aday). If you decide to study math in the morning (5,6 am), sleep at least at 10 pm.
What is his email mike? I sent a msg on his website but i dont think it works. Thanks for your help!

You can do it mate, i believe in you ..we do
Don’t feel bad I’m in the same boat don’t give up man keep going we together going make it 🎉🎉🎉

I am studying engineering and I started publishing again, byt really I like the academic work more than knocking doors.
I really appreciate your videos, and I appreciate your frequent uploads too. Please keep it up

I decided to some Differential Equations right now.
Just did it!

i love that you went from math to making these amazing, inspiring and informational videos 😂
Yep assisting parents. If the system had been working for the people instead of against them, I would have been required to assist less.
in Brazil "Deus ajuda quem cedo madruga" translates to "God helps those who wake up early"
What project are u working on currently?
I have had so much doing that my doing has been non stop but not in my path.
I have not had a choice. No one else to do it. And it had to get done. And still more is yet to come that has got to get done.
Life saver
Funny, when I saw the thumbnail, for a moment I thought It was a Huberman video.
I love your comment.
Anyway.... ty
Ok
How to email him ??
But i need sm time to get through one single lecture. Do u have time management tips?
Let A, B, and C be sets. Suppose that f:A ➡B and g:B ➡ C are onto. Let x be an element of f: A to B and y be an element of g: B to C. Then we have gof(x) if and only if gof(y). If and only if go(f(x)), if and only if g(b), if and only if g(b) = C. Hence, we have concluded the proof. Jk.

Too much "inspiration videos". I can't consider your videos seriously 😢
