Oh no😢 I buyed this book just before and I think it's going to be too easy for me. I'm currently studying Algebra 1, geometry and algebra 2 in high school (Finland). I'm still really, really excited to cover the book even if it seem little easy❤

I teach disadvantaged 7-12 grade kids. Last year was my first year at this school. Absolutely no homework ever got done no matter how fast, fun or easy I made it and despite them being afforded every possible technological advantage. My daily attendance averaged 38% of enrolled students (whose individual attendances ranged from 0% to 78%, so even the best at showing up missed class about once per week). Most of my students have not memorized addition and multiplication facts through their 9s and lack almost any sense of foundational ideas. Yet they are enrolled in pre-algebra and geometry. The standards seem surreal and almost otherworldly in this context. They are irrelevant and incongruous to their situation and present more of an obstacle than a legitimate and realistic objective. Frankly, I’m not sure our pie-in-the-sky standards are actually consistent with the best practices employed by far more effective countries such as Singapore. So I’m left in something of a quandary: how can I help these kids succeed in life and maybe enjoy and love math while jumping them through hoops they can’t even see (at least not without me serving as their guide)? If I know they’ve missed central ideas from 6-9 years earlier and that they won’t likely attend more than half time, what can I do for them? Is there a reproducible path to rich and rigorous mathematics (other than Jaime Escalante’s singular success in Long Beach from “Stand and Deliver” which remains my sole inspiration)? So last year I started having weekly meeting with interested faculty to discuss effective strategies. These meetings were excellent. We’ve all innovated and improved immensely. But our outcomes have only improved a little bit. I doubt many teachers will put themselves out there this way, but if we can’t be honest, we are trapped and doomed to play a strange policy game in which students like mine are almost assured to lose. This huge cluster of problems can’t be unique to my district. What can we do?
thx sir yo helped me, i am brazilian but i learn inglish and this video helped me so muuch today i gonna make a test, i didnt remembered this part of math so this helped me thx
What I got from here is that in math you won't get everything right away and don't have to get frustrated if you don't get it right away and you have to move on and try and try with more exercises
can someone clarify the term "condition" for me? in this context, it seems to carry a specific meaning different from what i would usually associate with the word? at least in relation to the concept of a "problem" ?
Amazing - the fact is even from a country that no longer exist makes it rare but also it’s one the limited translations outside of native language . Amazing book
This quote means, to not be victim to herd mentality. Think for yourself, and do not get swept away by the emotions of others. To be analytical of each situation, and remain true to yourself. This is stoic, because it relies on the denial of external emotions. Beyond the limits of empathy, is the beginning of chaotic victim-hood. This is, to be carried away by the emotions of others.
This quote is interesting. The basics of it, is that it is normal to struggle to achieve great things. I think the translation makes the wording a bit too loose, thought. Saying, "if it is normal, how can it be bad?" is a bit too generalized out of context of the full quote. Out of context, we could then apply this same term to bad traits like the laziness of people, as being lazy, is normal. But, that is clearly not the intention of the quote.
I feel like the most important thing is to always return to your roots and ask what you really want in life. So if you even through obstacles and challenges, you can perseveer through it and know that it will all be worthwhile in the end. In that regard I think life is mostly about creating yourself and only somewhat about discovering yourself. (There is likely a slight balance between them)
I think what he is saying here, is that your ability to control your thoughts is a powerful tool. A tool which can be honed and sharpened, and lacking in those who would not make great leaders. It is a expansion of the simple concept, be disciplined. If you are disciplined in thought, you can direct the outcomes of your life. Where the undisciplined in thought are victim to the whims of life, floating down the life's river like a boat without a rudder.
I would hardly call this a math textbook. It is more of a index of mathematics definitions. Certainly useful, but yes, not many could learn without a longer explanation of each topic. My guess, would be that he took each definition and made his own examples to tackle the definitions from different angles. I don't think even he would be able to just assimilate the knowledge by reading it and nothing else.
Finding or creating or whatever else you want to do with yourself is largely a bourgeoisie luxury in Western Neoliberal societies. LIfe is actually about learning to escape yourself which is a good thing, shedding us as it does of that most toxic of qualities, pride. Or, if we want to be post-modern about it, the ego.
Can you make a video on reversing the chain rule as it relates to the u-substitution technique for integration, specifically why we are allowed to multiply both sides by dx (u = 2x --> du = 2x dx).
I disagree. When I was the most "me" as possible, it was all GIVEN to me by God. It wasn't me doing it at all. It was just the people around me blocking God from giving me more of His gifts to find myself. I completely disagree with the entire video.
What are the propedeutics to learn topology? Real analysis? set theory? I have a Bachelor's degree in electrical and computer engineering so my math is limited to linear algebra, some statistics, calculus, differential equations, and some number theory. Thanks a lot!
