You never stopped learning. So many students I knew were looking to get rid of their books at the end of each semester. At the end of their degree, they likely had no books left. I had a C++ book that I repeatedly referred to during my time in college. I was reading next semester books in between semesters. Right now I am reading a 1000+ page book on C++. I will soon be reading books on Linear Algebra and OpenGL. I guess what I am getting at is, we were brought up learning by reading books. I feel learning online is a good way to kickstart your learning and to see if you like a subject. However, in my opinion, for in-depth knowledge you need patience and a good book.
I am a physics PhD but I love to brush up on my math knowledge, and the things that I did not study at all sometimes because I made different choices in my past. I've promised myself I'll get to the end of a few select books, and do all exercises. I read 2-3 books at a time. I have lined up a few more for when I finish the current ones. I gotta get better. I want to understand.
A physics PhD, wow! an inspiration. i am actually a rising junior and I love physics, it may be my favorite subject. I dont mean to sound weird lol but im sure youll get better in no time!
@@raspberry897 You don't go wrong with physics, if you really love the stuff. Dive in if you feel like it's something that excites you. I cannot reccommend getting stuck in the academia like I did for a long time, though.
@@Lolleka Thank you so much for your wise words. I will make sure to go further into physics because its something i really enjoy doing. I understand, but I think that being a PhD in an academic subject one is interested in should be a good decision if you love the subject! I mean passion is more important than anything
I find the hardest part of math is remembering the sequence of events. Every individual step is easy, but it is creating the coherent whole that is difficult. The more you can see a problem as a whole in relation to it's sequence of events, the clearer you will understand the solution.
Hi Math Sorcerer. I’m from the UK just finished my A-Levels, having studied Maths, Physics & Chemistry. I want to study physics at university, though have not yet applied. I have really enjoyed studying mathematics in high school. What can you suggest I study mathematics now I have finished my high school studies? Fields that will help me should I go on to study physics but not exclusively. I have your course on D.Es already.
I recently showed a previous math teacher some mathematics I've found, I was a bit surprised to learn, that he does not really see the point of mathematics, other than the basics... Where do a person go with these ideas?
I have buy some algebra book but i am not reading them , because i am exciting i know but ,i have fear for something that i don't know . How i read book of mathematics . please kindly help me sir😢
We all start from knowing nothing about maths. The more you learn, the more you don't know, and it is completely fine. Math is not mathing with you all the time. Even people in math research encounter things they never see in their whole life. This is what learning is. I know this may not be the best advice but I will say just start reading the book. Even you don't understand at first, you can first temporarily 'accept' it as a fact and move on to the practice questions. Don't worry or be defeated about not knowing the answers, but in fact, learn from solutions. Gradually you will find patterns and logics in those questions. When you go back, things will piece back together into a whole picture. Then redo the question with you new understanding. Trial and error is what takes you to next level. (This is just an advice from a self-learner and current uni student in maths and physics, but i hope this helps you somehow 😊)
Hey Sorcerer, I’m trying to learn math as well. Is it possible when juggling an equally intensive 9-5 job that also involves coding so some math is needed but not a lot? My goal is to get good at math so I can approach topics like Machine Learning and AI from multiple angles.
Agreed. When I was going for my MSCS degree, I had a student in the undergrad program who latched onto me as a study buddy. She was really struggling and I felt there was no way I could let her fail. I think my grasp of theory improved greatly through my efforts to help her understand CSci concepts.
I am lucky to have came across your channel. I think you are the first channel revolved around mathematics that actually resinated with me, on many levels. new subscriber, and will for sure join your channel when im older. keep doing what you are doing!
I did it today. Like I said I was gonna make Vectors fear me and I have somewhat achieved that Because I proved my Teacher wrong in Finding the Area of the Figure.🔥🔥🗿🗿
I am sure you are a competent math instructor. But, sometimes I wonder if some bogus math teachers put out a lot of B.S. math that can't be verified by the students as to whether the answer is right, or the teacher did the operations correctly. Basically the student is at the mercy of an incompetent teacher.
i personally recommend self study BUT its very important to have a teacher or someone who is pro at mathematic just to guide u and correct any mistake u would make,, bc diving into mathematic without a guider can literally get u lost. this was my personal opinion,, and of course it takes time and patience too
I think if you had an interesting childhood you could know more than your high school teacher. Some of them only have a Bachelors and they’ll forgot the more advanced topics over the years if they don’t review on their own time. It would be hard to know more than a Professor though because they’ve continuously been working in math for at least 8-10 years, likely much more if they are a tenured or even Associate Professor. If their an older Professor they likely have decades of experience over you. While they would most likely have more broad knowledge, you could be more knowledgeable in a particular subject because you begin to specialize past undergrad. It’s conceivable that a Professor would neglect a subject you are obsessed with, so you would naturally know more.
TEACHERS ARE OF TWO TYPES :-(1) THOSE WHO KNOW VERY MUCH BUT THEY EXPLAIN THE CONCEPTS IN COMPLEX WAY NOT IN EASY WAY. (2) THOSE WHO KNOW VERY LESS BUT EXPLAIN SIMPLY. TEACHERS MAY HAVE GREAT OR LESS KNOWLEDGE BUT THEIR EXPERIENCE ABILITY CAN'T BE BEATEN .
