What kind of grades do you typically get Scott? Is your challenge simply to pass or to pass with an a or b?
1.look for visual intuition 2.if no, get them through others online sources3.walk through it in your head
Good explanation of Jacobian
i think the intuition comes naturally if you know the basics. im brushing up on algebra at khanacademy.. and the way you explained the area of the parallelogram made so much sense to me. haven't even started calculus yet
+Terrell McNasty yes its ture
I feel like you are talking about two very important concepts. You give fairly decent descriptions however you use very incorrect terminology. You use the word "technique" to describe symbolic manipulation giving algebra as an example of a mathematical field in you use symbolic manipulation.This is high school algebra, this is not true of the entire field of algebra. High school algebra focuses on pattern recognition. Factoring is a bad example of a rule that you must follow or memorize. Factoring is a logical consequence of perhaps field axioms when dealing with polynomials or real numbers. High School students who are sensitive to pattern recognition often report doing well in math.
And then you use the word "intuition" to describe understanding. I think the word "intuition" is misleading. Reason and logic play a central role in mathematics. It is not always extremely apparent in some lower division math courses but this is the key to mathematics, not intuition but fluency with vocabulary and concepts make the process of memorization obsolete.
Maybe I'm overanalyzing this but I just don't think that you could appreciate the true depth of mathematics by broaching the subject in a few days. You miss so many subtle points and when you move on to the next subject you have a very imperfect knowledge of the prerequisite and this just amplifies at the next step. So in the end you started off on shaky ground and will end with a very rudimentary understanding.
Great points man, but could you further explain by what you mean about fluency? By fluency do you mean the practice of spaced repetition and consistent exposure to the deliberate practice of mathematical concepts?
By fluency I am talking about understand the syntax as well as the concepts in mathematics. I often find myself reading mathematics that is not in my field. Being fluent in the language of mathematics and logic helps the process tremendously. Taking an English class as an example, memorization can only take you so far. You can remember the letters and the sounds they make and then you can start to remember some rules for constructing words and sentences. There then becomes a point when memorization fails. When you are writing a poem or novel you cannot rely solely on memorization. You have to be fluent in the English language. Mathematics is the same. When you become fluent in mathematics and logic you can tackle a plethora of problems. Memorization can only take you so far. To be a true master you need these skills.

How would one become more fluent in the logic of mathematics. Great points btw!
@@jooorence Very late reply, perhaps you already know now haha, but I think it is a matter of spending time with the material mostly. You need to have robust maps of the meaning each symbol carries and you need to be able to weave together expressions using many symbols in conjunction in order to build up some reasonable/logical interpretation of novel expressions you come across. To me this only comes with doing more math, and doing harder math. Early stages of math just get you to know a few core ideas, but don't ask you to do anything too creative or interesting with them. As you progress into harder math classes the linguistic side of the practice becomes more apparent, as math is used to represent more complex and interesting phenomena.
Is it actually learning the material or just passing the course in 5 days?
thank you so much for bringing this resource to my attention.
Haha! I watch youtube videos and podcasts at 2x speed all the time
Watched your video at 2x speed :P

Khan Academy saved my Maths result from being failed. I use it to understand logarithm, why I've no idea what it's before, and it turns out there're many log question in the exam. I passed with 53% but without the understanding of what Log is and why it has those weird properties, I might as well fail in the exam.
There's a chinese idiom saying that 'knowing urself and ur enemy is how you can win'.
Scott. This method works!!!
Does anyone know how his learning shedule looked like. I mean how many hours a day was he spending on learning?
12 hours per day in beginning (4-5 months) for 5 days a week.
8 hours a day after that for 5 days a week..
damn thats a lot of learning
hey thanks so much for this video been struggling with advanced maths at school especially integration and differentiation. I was just cramming through as many questions as possible but it wasn't working however after looking into the theory or logic of the integration etc its getting much better.
Thanks Scott! I hated math but after watching your video I was encouraged and given motive to check the websites or one of them. I am filled with hope 8-D : )
Wish I had a teacher like mr.scott young in high school I would have breezed through math if I had a teacher like him
nice work,you are inspiring me to excel.Biological from my experience I think most of young teens are restless and it is the most crucial time for our development in overall if we can follow your techniques and integrate it into our learning methodologies then we can learn faster and remember things which will help in reduction of time.can I know who inspired you?
I only listen to slow speaking people at a high speed. I have to pause the videos at diagrams and things because i'm a slower learner than you :P
Scott,I love your video,and it really made me wanna learn maths again and wanna learn English!
It is so easy to get lost in the way of study maths,but what you said here remind me to think of the core of maths,try to understand them,not to memorize them.
And I think learning will give me the key to another beautiful world that I never see before, I like this feeling.
Thank you,Scott,and Happy New Year!
@HyperxThread - Yes--I did physics one as my pilot experiment course in June (in order to see whether the pace I was setting was at all feasible). So technically it wasn't in the 12 month timeframe, but I'm counting it towards the total. You can check out my notes/exams/links for that in the MIT Challenge page
He did not excel in any subjects. Just a mediocre sales person!
scott mahoney immediately recognized the jacobian
Dear Scott, even Princeton university lectures of Multi variable calculus are very good. You may mention that in your video.
Thank u bro!
So you completed a multivariable calculus course is the span of a week? What advise do you have for someone with a job and family and so does not have the time to watch lectures every waking hour? Hearing how fast you did that is very discouraging actually because it seems impossible physically as well as impossible mentally to actually absorb and learn everything that fast.
In India we don't have the concepts explained to us just the method to solve the problem after muggin up formula so no idea what you explained.
I absolutely believe what he says...
This has been truly motivating
I'm so bad at maths. I'm 37 and due to take mt 8th GCSE. I have no maths ability at all. It is the only subject that hinders my life!
(from prev comment) ... off all those questions that i can answer correctly, and make note of the ones i get wrong, then focus on those questions. then iterate for those you don't get, and you really understand the math. but with your idea of walking through, ppl are visual, auditory, and kinetic learners. so walking through could mean drawing meaningful pictures, explaining it out loud, or writing it. ex. i'm really kinetic, but i'm not as good at listening. for mastery, quiz+recall is the...
Toooooo much speaking about nothing >_
i am interested in your method.....
Oh good thank you 💪
How are you giving the exams? How can I do similar course on physics?
(from prev comment) ... sign to yourself that you really mastered the material. (along with spanning the full gamut of problems to test your understanding. but once you know derivations, how to get to an idea, and memorize it maybe by ridiculous association, all those problems become easy)
scott, with walking through the "core" of an idea, i personally like to go cal newport's style of quizzing and recalling. i know you've heard of it. for instance, i might type down questions like what is a jacobian, how do you derive it, what do you use it for and how do you use it, describe a few problems where it is useful, list a few sample problems. then i print out that piece of paper, then on a sketchpad or whiteboard, i answer all the questions on that sheet without any help, and cross...
thanku soo muchhhhhhh
Holy shit… this dude IS Ryan Gosling 😂
Did you take Physics 1 Heat & Mechanics or did you just jump over to Physics 2
Mathispowerforu.com has lectures and is my favorite currently!
시각적 직관
i did my degree in biomed. engineering, and scott, you hit the success to math right on. many of the people i know who found math difficult didn't have a core understanding of why the formulas are the way they are, AKA the derivations. if one understands and even asks "do i believe how we got to this formula?" and convince oneself it works, then the key to math success is wide open.
excellent video, thank you for posting.
We really are indebted to this guy.
Try doing what he does then look at yours.
You seem to me to be the Elliott Hulse of Education.
i like your spirit .. i think you and me are exactly same
i can complete one subject within 1 week
Well u can actually finish one subj in 1 week just by studying it, a week is plenty suff for it..
Cabri 3D 100% visual
enemy = maths problem in that case :)
u talk to much!!!!
Awesome, good luck Scott!
hey, I encountered this video now but what he says is bullshit. I wouldn't like to pull your courage down but if you don't have any former knowledge about the subject you can not go so FAST through it. It is contrary to the process of the brain.
great stuff btw, i look forward to more
sick shit
very helpful,
That's all u know
Really Usefull
thanks man!!!
Thanks based Ryan Gosl... Scott. I am impressed and mos def interested.
Both Canadian?
where is ur lectures

you look funny
franz-josef hofer you look dumb
I just suck at math 😂❤
