The thing I notice most with math is how, a lot of the time. If you take a break, for a day and come back. You literally can understand something easily that seemed impossible to understand just a day before. The brain seems to work with it in the background it, and get that “aha” moment
So true. Apparently there's something happening in the brain during sleep that reinforce knowledge and connections accumulated during the day, that's way it's so important to have a good sleep routine
There's a bit of structure to the video, so I summarized it somewhat: 1.) MAIN ONE: Don't use training wheels. Solve problems naked with just pen, pencil, and mind. 1a.) Question things. Ask why atomic statements are true. 2.) If you can't solve something, walk away from it for a bit. 10:40 3.) Get math problems thrown at you unexpectedly and solve them.
As someone who has some instruction experience now, I think the "people do better after doing this" operates under the assumption of "the assignments/exams are well-designed". I think a good future video topic would be how to design good math assignments at all levels :)
Well said,I think this applies to all subjects and not only maths.One of the reasons,why students are unprepared and / or underprepared for real life job assignments is because the subjects are neither designed nor structured in a way to make them ready by imparting skills and knowledge which will empower them to confront and conquer issues in real life situations.
I failed a test a week ago and got depressed. Watching this video was painful because you dropped a true hard to process to me. I don't practice too much because anxiety and fear of failing. Worse, even when I practice maths I check the notes and pdfs some much, I didn't realize that until you posted this. I love maths so much I even watched college classes about subjects I feel attracted for but I got no trust on myself. We gotta be willing to suffer, to sacrifice ourselves for a better future and our passions. Thank you so much man, you have no idea how much you've helped me with your videos, you got a slowly silly student thinking a lot with your words. From an argentinian enjoying your content in this part of the continent, keep it doing man.
One thing I would add is that once you feel like you have mastery, try to explain it to someone else. Doesn't matter if they know math or not, if you _really_ understand it, you can give someone an intuition about even the wildest stuff. If you find that you can't convey the idea to your friend, spouse, kid, whoever--probably missing something yourself.
Great advice. These days I am doing around 4 hours per day , working on the things I am not strong in. Why am I doing it? Even though I am not exactly a brilliant mathematician? I do it so I can improve my confidence, because when you start improving, and understanding things that you struggled with in the past, you can feel better about yourself. I am 45 and finished my undergrad in math at U of Calgary 20 years ago, but something told me to try to again! Math is important!!!
This is great! I'm going to dedicate a lot more time to learning how to do math cold. I passed high school math by the skin of my teeth, but now that I'm older I want to learn math up through calculus. Do you have any advice or resource suggestions for a math learner who isn't in school?
Khan academy is great but often times it seems the material is a bit out of order. Like you’ll learn something ahead of the video order or the video and material varies a bit
@@TreSwayyGood points, I would do KA first then supplement with a textbook for depth. Pretty easy to find pdf versions of the popular ones, KA provides more than a good enough base imo.
I'm studying art & math 😁.Both are creative. Doing division of polynomials in a Robert Blitzer college algebra book finally got me to understand where to place the decimal in ordinary long division of decimals. Could do most algebra. Could do simple calculus, but had trouble with where to place the decimal in division of decimals.,
@@pallavitirkey4571 I love literature too. Love reading😁. Don't love writing so much, but I still want to do it. Good luck with your studies in literature & math.
In my case it's the opposite. I've learned that the wrong way to learn math is to be very stubborn when it comes to solving really hard problems. I was wasting a lot of time, like hours, being stuck at a hard problem because I was too stubborn to look for answer or ask for help. I believe it had to do with my ego being attached to how good I was in math. My ego got hurt when I couldn't able to solve a problem, despite learning the prerequisite theorems and all, because it signalled to me that I wasn't really good at math. I also refused to ask for help because I believed that asking for help would mean that someone is smarter than me in math (except for my professors). Now I have come a long way after slowly detaching my ego and my self of identity from my innate mathematical talent. I had to learn that my worth as a human being doesn't come from being good at math. Well, there's a long story behind why I attached my worth with how good I was in math. Another wrong way to study math, for me, is to waste a lot of time trying all the exercises from a section of a chapter. Well, I was told by my high school math teacher that "easy or hard, we should try out all the math problems with no discrimination". I took this philosophy at heart, until it failed to serve me when I was learning a lot of math and I had limited time on my hand. Now, I just attempt only a few easy ones, skip the ones that repeats itself and try out challenging problems. Because I used this two wrong method to study math, I had to waste more than 8 months learning Algebra (Linear and Abstract), which could have been finish within less than 4 month. And I still had some chapters that I haven't covered.
The problem is, the way tests are time restrained doesn’t give enough time to think. You’re supposed to just solve by reflex, like a trained rat. It’s terrible.

inculcate (verb): to implant by repeated statement or admonition; teach persistently and earnestly.
Step 1: Understand
Step 2: Memorise
Step 3: Practice
Bruh, no

Khanacademy

khan academy, professor Leonard and MIT OpenCourseWare are very good good resources.

Extremely helpful, it does need courage to go again over a problem where you struggled or failed :-) but the reward is worth it
Congrats for hitting over 1M subs 🎉

would love to know your thoughts on the old vs the new common core method children have for learning math.
Taking grad complex analysis as an undergrad next semester :D
I wish this video came out 7 years back when I was studying new math for getting into one of our prestigious school.
Thank you very much
i just want to say thank you.
Saludos desde Honduras.
I needed this. I usually do it wrong. 😓Thanks Math Sorcerer!
Just great
do it cold -- so don't wear a sweater during a test ?
Cold palmer 🥶 🧊 ☃️
It's exactly like looking up the solution online when you're playing a puzzle game. Sure you beat the game, but you're not mastering it

Don't be an AI. :D
