Me watching this while studying maths: 👁👄👁

I have a short term retention impairment. Throughout my whole education I’d work 2-3x more than normal in order to earn the same high grades.

If you go to grad school for Econ or Stat, you'll end up needing analysis, so he's still going to get use out of his math classes.

I study maths daily. I am not studying maths for any exam. It's my hobby to study maths. Sometimes I enjoy studying maths. I become bored when I could not solve any problem. I understand that study not only to gain knowledge but also to remind your ignorance.

I can't click on your links!

I'd rather have an IQ less than 100 *with* mastery over mathematics than have an IQ of 145 *without* any mastery of mathematics at all. I'd rather be the version of myself who learns and grows than the version of myself who lives in fear forever and stagnates.

Jeff Bezos just randomly decided to sit in a chamber and do math all day long 😁

I don’t need to be smart. You said it yourself sir. You have to outwork those who coast through and I know I’m too stubborn to give up. Your channel showed me how useful and what math is applied to in the real world. Keep posting because your math book recommendations for engineering are on point. Is there an engineering book for undergrads that goes over the mathematics they need to know? The one you posted called “All the Math you Missed” is for graduate level but it looks like an excellent book to buy anyway. You’re enabling my book purchasing so please keep posting!

These are some serious, down-to-earth, humane, and beautiful thoughts you share there! Thank you! I would like to add my two cents, for anyone that would like a new endeavour, math or otherwise (pointing at myself as well!). It's only natural to be wondering if you are smart enough. In a sense, it's like wondering if the game you are about to play has "easy" as a difficulty options. If it does not, shouldn't you still play the game?

You know maybe I can agree. But there are in the end, some very specific barriers and circumstances that in the end limit your development and discourage you from trying more. For example, you only have limited time per semester in Uni to pass classes and to get good grades. This leads to the weaker students getting behind (because just needs lot more time, to understand, to solve their exercises and homework etc) which leads to failed classes and low grades, which demotivates or you just cannot progress further e.g. to a PhD program or Masters etc because they will not get accepted. So in theory all this are kinda true, but practically it is not. Life will hit you, you will need to work to live, you will need to socialize, you will need to exercise for your health (mental and physical). So you will reach a point where you cannot longer fight for what you love, because life got in the way.

I did a degree in Maths then became a software developer, taught myself and learned on the job. It was a great adventure and learning about computers has been an incredibly valuable thing in my life.

“It all eventually starts to come together” that’s the key statement. I did not have a great math education from K-8. My teachers were not great and my parents could not really help. My high school teachers were good, but I was too far behind to catch up. I squeaked by. In college I got good enough to pass the required courses, but it wasn’t till I started self study that I really come to understand and make sense of advanced math. It all eventually came together

Well, i usually solve complicated problems using basic if...then... logic, and simple maths, because im terrible at complicated equations and formulas. I think its called resourcefulness. I noticed that i like using the simple and long way, rather than the short and complicated way. so, am i smart enough? 🙃

A study which investigated child prodigies in maths, art, and music found that their IQs ranged from bang on average to multiple standard deviations above the average. The study found that the most important factor when it came to child prodigies was the so-called “rage to learn”. If you work hard at something for a long period of time then you’ll be able to do it eventually. Ernest Shackleton said “Through endurance we conquer”, Calvin Coolidge said “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence”, and Casey Neistat said “Persistence and endurance will make you omnipotent”. There is nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. The reason why that that 12 year old can play the violin so well is because he started when he was 2 and he has devoted a decade of free time towards practicing. What could you accomplish with a decade of focused effort? The time is elapsing anyway, you might as well do something with it. PS: You actually learn faster when you enjoy it. The dopaminergic system is tightly linked to the way the brain learns and acquires new skills. Find a way to enjoy something and you cannot possibly lose.

I am learning maths to study Economics , of which, are much related to maths too.

It's not whether you're smart enough...........There are people who are functionally illiterate and mathematically redundant and all that can be turned around by a teacher who loves the challenge. The trick is how a student feels about themselves. As long as the student has his/her emotional side built up and they perceive themselves as able to take on any challenge, then their brain will go along for the ride and it really works. I think you're a very good teacher. But the problem is, the smartest people take teaching jobs and they end up being the worst teachers imaginable.

Oh wow, you started college at 24? I'm 26 and just getting out of the army (not US). It'll probably be really weird studying alongside the 18 year olds, but what the heck I'll do it for myself.

I can say I do not. Not all the time, But I sure wish to.

I don't think intelligence is dictated by what we do when we are young. This is the greatest misconception we have as a society, that if you didn't do well in school when you were young, then you are just not smart. A more accurate way to describe it, would to be to say, education was not your focus when you were young. There are plenty of intelligent people who do horribly in school when they are young, simply because they chose not to make education their focus at that time. There are equal amounts of cases where kids hyper focused on their studies, lose focus on their studies later in life because they are forced to focus on aspects of life they spent no time on in their youth. The intelligent person who chooses to focus on other life aspects early in youth and then transitions to focusing on education is actually much better prepared to take education to the maximum level. Where as, those who only focused on education in their early life can often get derailed more easily as they have less life experience. The only reason we place so much value on high achievement in education in early life is because we live in a diploma mill society, where the sooner you can grind out a diploma, the more earning potential that person has. You have to remember that university, hundreds of years in the past, was seen as an old mans activity. Many would get established in life first, then study once they were established. Modern society has tried to flip that on it's head and it leads to failure more times than success.

staring at the ceiling and watching this video. what a day.

The truth revealed at 7:26, lol

do what you love to do only.

don't do it when you dont want to do it.

why i should do math when i don't want to ?

Is this the good twin of Jeff Bezos?

I guess that was written at a time when people with fairly poor education were thrust into jobs that required a sophisticated level of understanding. Members of my family moved into mana, accounting, farming, radar, sonar, navigation, gun sighting, and so on. After the war some (mainly women) went back to the previous occupations. Others were propelled forward because they understood trigonometry, physics, electronics, etc.

I feel like the Level of success one achieves in life is correlated to their Ability to understand math rather than get A1s or Distinctions. Simply put i feel like those who Give up when they fail in maths wouldnt endure the Cruel world out there

unpopular opinion...unlike is the case with playing basketball and having height disadvantages....I don't think a below average iq can stop anyone who wanted to be above average in math. I just dont

Yes

yes

I still think you need at least an IQ over 130 to learn and study higher math. But to be a great mathematician you really need an IQ over 160. It also reminded me of Freeman Dyson who switched from Math to Physics because he couldn't able to solve a very hard problem in Number Theory (that was solved by a mathematician who later won Fields medal for this).

I find statistics much harder than calculus because it not straightforward at all.

Yes.

I love you ❤ you are the one pushing me towards research

First comment! Don't stop posting, sir. Your videos are very helpful ✨

Actually you should try to understand, but you shouldn't force yourself to understand

What a great book. I did an apprenticeship as a machinist in the 80's and some of it was still taught then, especially all the screw cutting maths. As you enjoy collecting do you have the Wolfe and Phelps shop maths books? They are great too.

It is a regular book of 1940s )) Time makes this book special It is nostalgia, when you open such a book and feel warming feelings This one is still available on ebay as used physical copy, but not in torrents or internet archive

The first hundred pages or so of "Machinery's Handbook" by Industrial Press is mathematics.

Seems good, thanks.

Are you nigerian ?

There is no finish in math, because its incomplete

I learned calculus by this

your best at book recommendations ✌

Do you have your grandson? If not then we are all your grandsons and we all will look after you for the entire life. It's a promise from us.

Please proof of abs(x) >b. Thanks.

I think "finding" and "creating" yourself are used interchangeably now

I see in the news what is going on in the Gaza strip and how children are starving to death with food not too far away what the hell people? What’s going on? I almost feel guilty myself sitting here in the United States, not knowing what to do, with all my food and wine in front of me. I’m feeling terrible.
