@@black_jack_meghav it is important to focus on the present, Yet without amazing grace we have empty purpose in life let alone the future life in the joy of salvation and friendship with Him now and in heaven, instead of weeping 4eva in regret. ikr pray to know the truth, He will show you in amazing grace.
I love finding out people I admire are high school dropouts just like me. I think I was just a late bloomer. Now I'm struggling through analysis. Not sure when it's going to get easier, but eventually it synthesizes. In my cooking career it took me 10 years to feel like I knew what I was doing, and I did it every single day. I got really good at what I did and was eventually able to mentor people with less experience. Whenever I feel like giving up on math I remember how long it took to get really good at cooking and I realize that this just takes time. I had to take 25 years away from school to begin to understand how to use my brain in that capacity.
Awesome post thank you so much for this!!
I can relate to this one - my interest in maths sparked "late" when compared to my classmates (at 21, after starting my UG) and even though I'm doing good, sometimes I wish I had been interested e.g. in math olympiads and similar stuff in high school. I feel like I've wasted time and I get impostor syndrome even though I'm not even in grad school yet (might start next year!). I worry too much about the future, too. But I try to think cold headedly about it and remind myself that my life path is unique, and so is everyone else's.
Ya we each have a unique path👍
I got a depression recently but watching your video really give me motivation to move on and keep working hard.
👍
I love this video. This took me like at least 19 years to realize this fact. Now, I'm planning on taking a one or two math courses just to learn more math. But deep in me, I feel like I want to be a professor but grad school never was on my mind because if money and time. But I'm not going to focus on a future I can't see yet. I'll focus on my now. Thanks for reminding me this powerful lesson.
Yes it's easy to forget this too!! Thank you!
This is great advice. Literally can change a life.
Yes!
I love these types of videos! Just a nice reminder to focus on the now. As someone who plans to attend grad school in math, I'm constantly finding myself worrying about the future and sometimes I forget that I still have three years of undergrad to focus on first. You really can't change the past or the future, but the one thing that you can change is how you choose to live right now!
Yes!!
Once I get my AP exams done I’m gonna try to live life the best I can this summer. Thanks again professor! :)
I'm going to stop worrying about the pass and the future, because it's the present right now.
Great video, great advices. Many people need to see this video, including my past self. I wish I realized all this earlier, but I'm glad I'm not late either.
Thank you!
I like listening to this! Currently a Civil Eng. Major in my senior year and I’ve failed a few times but listening to this helps me keep going! You seem very knowledgeable about life and I think many viewers like myself would love to hear more.
You got this!
You are a great mentor! I am so glad I found your channel! Please keep sharing your knowledge ^^
A good book for this is Eckhart Tolle - The power of now, super insightful, glad to hear that similar things were in your university guide book!
👍
Your videos on DE are a blessing, how you break it down , and your story is encouraging. Thanks
You are welcome!
You are sooo right, I realize it more as time passes
👍
Ya I know when time passes you start realizing this😀
@@TheMathSorcerer the problem is tho if it takes you too long to understand it, time isn't coming back anymore at that point
Just gotta say that I really appreciate your channel-not only for its math content, but also for these helpful videos you make. It’s really good to hear this message and other advice from you. :). Thank you.
No dislikes? But there are 309 likes? That is putting a smile on my face.
This is has Eckhart Tolle vibes about it and I love it.
Just like what one character said in the movie I watched the other night - "You can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be that you forget to make the most of where you are"
This really hit me man, thanks for your videos
You are welcome!
My analysis professor told everyone over the zoom lecture today that only two people deserve to pass his class and that the rest of us will be getting an F and to reconsider dropping out.. sometimes when I think about my future doing maths, I think of that 😪
I just want to know how to problem solve and do math.. I want to think like a mathematician, but then I think of my analysis professor and I remember that I have no future in math.
It's the same story with me, but it's the abstract Algebra prof.
Wow crazy
And you know I have had teachers say stuff like that to the class , well maybe not so bad, but stuff like "you all will never succeed if you keep this up" etc, really negative. I think the thing to remember is that teachers are people too and it's just their opinion. You can do it man you just have to work hard and believe and don't let other people bring you down!
And there will always be people like that in life,not just teachers, rise up!!
I had this professor who taught abstract algebra I with rings and polynomial rings, so we were all learning those without knowing anything about groups. I was really confused and felt didn't get much of it. Then when I take Abstract II with another professor this semester, he was shocked that we didn't know anything about groups, so we had to go back to groups. So we ended up covering 20 chapters of Gillian's book in one semester. Just last week, we covered chapter 20 the splitting field in one lesson. At one point, I was thinking to myself that I will never get Abstract algebra, but luckily I watched your video that you just have to believe you can do this. Now after watching a bunch of RUclips videos about splitting field, I feel like I am starting to get it.
Really appreciate your positivity and motivation! I'm a few credits away from my BA in Math and this is very encouraging to hear, especially for tough times when I just need to buckle down and grind!
Very nice!!
In my first few years of high school, I sucked at math. Like, really bad. Basically, I was one of those people who talked about how "I was good at math until the alphabet got involved hahaha". It also didn't help that my mom excused my poor grades in math as "not being a math person" since she is terrible at math herself. But I was very interested in a scientific career at the time and I realized if I was ever going to have the career I wanted I had to learn this math. So my junior year of high school I committed to trying to get A's and learn all the algebra I missed to try to get good at it. Eventually, when I got close to applying to colleges I felt ashamed and inferior since I knew kids who were in all honors classes and who were taking AP Calc and such. I really was scared that I didn't have what it took to be one of those math wizzes.
Well, I took precalc my first semester in college and got an A. Took calc 1, loved it and had a super great teacher and got an A. Worked my ass off in calc 2 and got an A, and was one of the top students. Now I'm finishing up calc 3 and I still have an A and as far as I know I'm the only one in that class with one. I even ended up loving math and statistics so much that I switched from chemistry to statistics, and I'm still open to the idea of maybe switching to applied math. The point is no matter who you are or how old you are, you can learn math. It's a skill, like playing guitar or learning Spanish, and the more you do it and struggle the better you get until the point that you're able to calculate trig functions and manipulate integrals with ease. It's all about little steps every single day, and having a motivation to learn.
Definitely, well said!! Thank you for sharing this👍
thank you infinitely for this advice.
Thank you for taking the time to makes these videos! Sometimes a person is lucky enough to get to hear exactly what they need to hear... that person was me today:)
You are welcome!
I am in the midst of applications right now and I really needed to hear this. I really hope it works out. Your videos are something else for folks like me that are "non-traditional" student. I went back to school to study math taking classes at night because I loved the material, I am a non-degree seeking student and now look at me... I am applying to graduate school. XD Thank you for all your help. If I ever make it to grad school, it would be great to see videos about how to survive that whole process and do well.
good luck:)
I keep worrying about the people who bullied me in the past and keep imagining that I get my revenge on them by beating them up
Such a wise advice!! Thanks professor!
I can't
Wow, very well said sir!
thank you!
I know this video is a year old but I took it to heart as well and it helps! I failed my third exam for calc III the other day. Now I’m not sure if I’ll pass and I am transferring for Mechanical engineering in fall but it’s not required for me to transfer. I just know this isn’t it for me if it doesn’t work out now. I’m going to work as hard as I can since I don’t want to quit want to excel in the class even I retake it. Since I want to go to grad school fit math as well possibly.
This is such a great video man these words are so good
👍
Sir, I am Msc Mathematics student and it is not going well😑..
lately I just came across your RUclips channel which is really motivating and inspiring ❤️👍
Awesome, keep it up, don't give up❤️💪💪
Well, I guess I can get behind not letting my past drag me down. Sure, I've quit the drugs, booze and cigs, but at the same time, all that's happened back then is gonna stick with me. So I hope you didn't mean "Stop worrying about your past = Forget about your past". As for the future, I think it is important to have some sort of gameplan. I'm aware that overanalysing/thinking ahead too far might require Omega (2^n) time as the number of variables n increases and so it would be paralysing. At the same time, the future is somewhat important, because, for example, I don't want to be evicted, which means I have to make my mortgage payments on time, which means I need an income, which I have right now, but .. You get the idea.
I'd say many things are obvious in hindsight.
Muchas gracias, agradezco mucho tus consejos y tiempo para hacer estos vídeos, no se mucho ingles, sorry. It's a great video teacher and I'll really try to follow your advice.
:)
Awesome advice!!! Have you done any videos of your math background?
Actually I have not!! None at all I think, maybe I should.
Serge Lang is always looking over your shoulder
Thank you for the advice, have you got tips how to develop this mindset - I tried to live that way for some time but I can’t help worrying about the future ...
Ya I still think about the future also. I think it's ok to think about the future and plan but worrying is no good. Whenever you are worried just try to be self aware and tell yourself there is no point doing it. People tend to get into loops where they overthink stuff so sometimes doing something else to get your mind off what you are worried about helps.
You should always live in present no point in thinking in future won't make day come faster that day will come eventually. My friend keeps thinking of year 2043 his team could win 30 league in a row
yup definitely!
Oh Heck! You're telling me they'll cover my ascension to the higher plane that is Grad school? They fund that? Really good to hear, ngl... this is gonna be a good decade
Hehehe
Make it an awesome decade, love it😃
Live life to the full.
Yes!
I can do it
Yes you can!
Stop worrying about the sunshine.
Stop worrying about the moonlight.
Stop worrying about the good times.
Just worry about collecting MORE BOOKS.
Lol!!
Hey can you make a video explaining how to solve this: sum of ((n choose k) 3^k) where k =1 and goes to n. There are not any videos on this topic.
‘Vegetate’ 😂😂
Hehe
I am sometimes a bit trapped between the things that i could have done in the past and all the potencial things i can do un the future(cos i relativily young(21)).it's dangerous sometimes to think that the future is going to be all good without being realistic, reflecting about the things You ve done in the past.and it's really difficult for me to bury all that regret in the past and move on with the present to create a better future.I guess You did related with this when You started college,how did you deal with it?
You just have to focus on the present and realize you can't change the past. After that the next thing I think for most people is to stop worrying about the future, this one is much harder I think. I guess over time you get better at it:)
@@TheMathSorcereri Will try! thank you!!!
i can't do it :(
You can 💪💪💪💪💪
what happen if I dont have A or B, I only got a C
