I don't mean to offend: I used to think your videos are so cliché. but I was wrong. I love your positivity, you are so motivating and it's good to have those reminders to stay motivated and set on my goals every once in a while. thanks for doing what you are doing :)
I think you missed one thing. I am a self-leaned programmer (well I used internet resources). But now I am doing PhD in computer science at the most prestigious university in my country (I have 13 years of software development experience). The way you can continue to learn is to take pride and joy in learning a little bit. Even understanding a simple derivation is fun. When I learned programming, there was no goal to be a full programmer. I think that grind is impossible to keep up. But I enjoyed doing little tiny things. And after some years, I just could develop full fledged applications.
Exactly. I am a cs student, and looking at the achievements of the pro level developers, I really feel down sometimes. Although I love programming, I get demotivated and doubt myself. Your words really struck me and reminded me of the days when I used to be so elated when I could solve a simple problem. These days, it really feels too burdensome. Even though I am making progress, it feels as if it's not enough. I really gotta appreciate my small leaps. Thanks a lot!
I finished my PhD in Material's Science this year and I have to admit that despite having a PhD in my subject, As an experimental researcher, all I did was make new material, test energy storage properties and publish papers if the performance was great. To be honest, it didn't make me an expert in my area at all. There were too many gaps in my knowledge that occured because I was so focussed on publishing, rather than understanding a given topic. So my research was surface level. Now during my post doc, I have made it my mission to dive deeper to fill those gaps and conduct some deeper research. Thanks to Math Sorcerer, I have shortlisted the things that were missing in my life- Consistency, active recall, deliberate practice and teaching someone
I'm currently 22 and I am taking some pre university courses to get me into uni so I can finally major in physics - my dream major is physics. I always thought I wasn't smart enough to study a subject like physics to the highest of levels, but I've adopted a different mindset since high school and I've realised from experience that hard work and dedication over a long period of time will allow my brain to learn almost anything that I'm interested in. You just gotta be patient with it, rome wasn't built in a day
Sustained Active Recall is huge. Take the imagery and move the pieces in your mind. Bring the formula up close...enhance the color...animate the concept. People will go to any length half killing themselves to have fun. Clarity...desire...patience... relentlessnous...and yes, like the Math Sorcerer said consistency. If you have all the above yet don't stay consistent you will find yourself still spinning your wheels in the same rut years from now...wishing for what you could have already had in your grasp.
11:10 This part is really relatable to me. I'm studying for one of the hardest (probably the hardest) university entrance exam in Brazil, and I have this feeling you described almost every day when I'm doing hard problems. When I solve a problem, beyond the feeling of accomplishment, I can feel I'm getting good at the subject after a lot of struggles.

I agree about how teaching others helps us learn. Since teaching GED math, I’ve learned so much math that will help me be a better teacher in the future. It has improved my confidence in knowing and being able to teach the math.
Nice and interesting videos. I would be interested to know: what are your personal goals in mathematics? Do you want to achieve anything in particular? To come across new mathematical insights? In other words, to do research in mathematics? Or rather just teaching mathematics and teaching other people and motivate them to do math? What are your goals here?
Y’re right. After asking a couple of people to be my mentor and/or personal sponsor, I felt mortified by the outcomes, and didn’t ask anyone else. I forgot that you have to just keep going and, instead, these “rejections” made my self-esteem worse. Eventually, I developed friendships with likeminded professionals so, we all helped each other. Still, THANK GOD for RUclips! And, yes, I too love teaching, training, workshop facilitation. Cheers.
My advice that I'm personally want to improve myself in CHE, bc any uni. Whether it's good or bad, they would teach you many but, not everything ..so, it's your journey and decision to learn..plz, do not depend only on that boring acadamic system, teach yourself too! ❤
Genius is the genetics of storing mother nature purposes through through your physical strengthful mind of just remembering things from life the 1st time a photographic memories
hello sir! I have doubt. The great scientist Paul Dirac said , "If you are receptive and humble, mathematics will lead you by the hand." what does it really mean? and how can we, common students, acheive humility and receptiveness in regards to maths, and enjoy the beauty of mathematics as dirac sir did? love your videos!
Philosophy and Mathematics are cousin disciplines. Also there is AI such as chat gpt or ai in general which can help you with self-studying and if you know how to write a prompt i am certain that can give you the answers to some of the exercises that are left out of the book.
MS, very inspired video- one of your best. The title of the video however is misleading since genius is a gift and is not achievable through hard work. No amount of effort will make a genius. That said, those whom adhere to the guidelines given in this video will assuredly gain high proficiency and excellence in their chosen field, especially #10 Teach Others- this point cannot be emphasized enough as a solid step on the ladder to help you reach your highest potential.
thanks a lot i always watch your video it really help me to keep learning thanks for all the great video from guiding us to learn math to the advices you are the best teacher
I always had a really bad relationship with math since I started school. I told myself that I wasn't one of those people who could study math, and I steered clear of basically any subject that involved even a hint of numbers. Fast forward to now, I'm 27 and I've started going through Khan Academy (and Everything You Need to Ace Math) - I've found that I actually enjoy it now. I've got a personal reason apart from my own "learning" ambitions, your videos also gave me the push to start again from scratch. Thank you!
One thing i realized is that i just dont like the process of learning. After hs i just hung up the coat, not counting that one failed sys admin course. Usually even when it comes to the few things im interested in. This natural disinterest was actually pointed out to me as early as kindergarten. Oh well, someones gotta fill the role of family failure lol
I am doing Calc 2 in fall, should I review calc 1 before going into Calc 2, or should I go over Calc 2 now and see if it makes it easier when I get there? (passed Calc 1 with a 78% past Spring semester and had to retake it once from last Fall)
I just took Calc 1 after not having taken a math class in almost 2 years. I reviewed Pre-Calc then started self-studying Calc 1 a handful of weeks before the class started. The self-studying of Calc 1 was 10x more helpful than the Pre-Calc review, even though there was much I had forgotten from Pre-Calc. I can’t speak from past experience because I’m taking Calc 2 in a few weeks, but I’d imagine it’d likewise be most helpful to self-study the class you’re about to take; I believe this is an idea I’ve heard the Math Sorcerer explain. You could look back on old tests if you have them and review specific problems you missed, but I imagine a general review of Calc 1 won’t be as useful as self-studying Calc 2. I know your situation isn’t the exact same as mine was, but I hope there’s something useful for you in this message. Best of luck in Calc 2!
@@PowerK1 can you please suggest a way to study, I have always been the type who do everything just trying the first time in my earlier years but now it doesn't work. And thanks for replying to my first comment , it gave me a little motivation 😌.
@@_Ruach_ one tip, make yourself enjoy the struggle, it somehow works, if you enjoy the struggle then struggling it’s not really struggling, you struggle, but you don’t. Also, I think it’s because dopamine plays a part in learning. But yeah, I think there are many other good tips out there, but this is only one of them and I think it’s the MAIN one.
