  2. Math is way more fun when you study yourself, not in school. I feel like school just keeps you in this box and makes maths SO dull

  3. "Not everything will make sense and that's normal" - the most relieving thought I got in a while, while studying math.
    18000
  4. "We always want to study what we don't have to study" Oof, guilty.
    16000
  5. When the prof says "it is easy to see" then he looks at his notes
    14000
  6. I feel like my hate of Mathematics was rooted in my lack of a solid foundation. I've been thinking about studying it again and this video definitely helps in guiding me down the right path.

  8. My theory has always been: we don't practice to learn, we practice for familiarlity AND speed.

  9. “Don’t worry about this proof, you’ll cover it next semester so we’ll skip over it for now” Next semester: “you should know this proof from last semester, so we’ll skip over it”

  10. Felt like a real class. Didn't pay attention.

  11. I was never particularly good at math my whole life. But I focused on what I could do and today I am PhD in engineering. You can do it guys.

  12. John von Neumann once was approached by a student after class who said "Professor, I don't understand the math you're using". Von Neumann answered: "Young man, one doesn't understand mathematics. One only gets used to it".

  13. Seriously i m 21 year old and want to restart my schooling in proper way , seriously i want to study math , science and every other subjects from beginning . Subjects are interesting but school makes them only mark oriented. I wish life give me second chance.

  14. Neil deGrasse Tyson said in an interview about calculus: "If you don't understand something immediately, it doesn't mean you're not good at it". This quote has given me sooo much motivation in my mathematics journey.

  15. this applies to everything. concentrated and effective effort propels you onto a different plane.

  18. prof: dy/dx is not a fraction and you shouldn't think of it as a fraction, it's just a notation prof later: just multiply both sides of the equation by dx, which leaves us with just dy..

  19. I got 100% on my autism test. I guess that explains my love for maths.
    5200
  20. Just forgot the one where, the student asks a question and the professor explains using the exact same example without really clarifying anything lol
    5100
  21. Bonus points for english being the lecturers second language, and the lecturer randomly making annecdotes in their first language.

  22. There's free knowledge everywhere... All you have to do is be hungry enough to consume..😁

  23. Hey, I really like your method. I use very similar approach, except I don’t have a piece of paper and pen. Instead I use a white board, as I like standing and talking while studying. I often imagine that I am a teacher standing infront of a class, having to explain what I have just read. When I get stuck I go back to the textbook and read it again. The process is really fun and you learn a lot, but it is super time consuming. Revising whole chapter can take up to 6-8 hours.
    4500
  24. As a math instructor myself, this video just deflates me. The fact that your advice is correct just goes to show how little most math courses succeed in actually teaching mathematics. There should be absolutely no situation where a student who understands the concepts fails an exam because they are not fast enough. Often times instructors focus so much on timed exams that students come to the conclusion math is about following mysterious rules and algorithms as quickly as you can. True understanding of what's going on under the hood becomes secondary.

  25. Does anyone else feel they really want to study when they are older as compared to when In school ?

  26. I have a love–hate relationship with maths. I love the concept behind it and how everything can be explained by it, and I love solving math problems when I get the answers right and understand it. However, I get super frustrated whenever I get calculations wrong, and my math teacher doesn’t really explain stuff to us. But this video is so inspiring and makes the process of math studying like a ritual. Huge thanks, I can’t wait to do math tomorrow actually!

  27. I started selfstudy mathematics and physics seriously at 27, to get into University. It was very very hard. I remember I was checking some of your videos when you had only a few thousand subs, cause I was so interested and amazed by the math magic. Now im going to the third year of university physics and astronomy. Took me about 3 years of selfstudy!! Even a few hard failures, I actually failed an important math exam three times, which was asked to get in. Some people even told me to give up, even my mother, but my father believed in me, and I think I might have been close to giving up. But I didnt give up and suddenly I got a 73% and accepted to the study which was an old childhood dream. Now im working with one of the most respected physicist in my country on a breakthrough paper related to unified field theory, which is completely from my idea. I still have issues with studying on time and primarily the discipline to do homework :)) I hope people read this comment because I believe it can inspire anyone and I'm still not believing whats happening, the love of my life helped me motivate me a lot though

  28. I think it's fair to say that the experience of confusion is a sign that your brain is actually working and learning. I try to remind myself that the sensation of "not getting it" is a good thing; it means my mind is being challenged with something new. If your mind is comfortable it's probably not learning anything new.

  29. “The proof is left as an exercise for the reader” is such chaos energy

  31. Math textbooks really be having some of the most out of context covers

  32. speed is a neurological metaphor for memory, when you go fast your brain can tap into instantaneous memory. Whenever you fall off that mode of operation you get into slow / bookmarked thinking, which is good too but different. Waving between the two is key IMO.
    3700
  33. Not to forget Student: "I believe you made a mistake there" Teacher: "I just wanted to see if you're paying attention" Yeah when I get something wrong in my tests I just want to see if you're correcting it thoroughly too

  34. The "why" was my issue with math. It drove me crazy and made me falsely believe that I was bad at math. Then something I never could have imagined happened. I was in a low level college algebra class that I needed for my bachelor of science degree, and I was struggling hard. My mom had a friend who was a high school math teacher who offered to tutor me. I went to her, but without much hope. Two hours later I walked out of her home understanding algebra like I never had before. From that point on I made A's and B's in math and never needed another tutor session. My moms friend didn't perform magic. What she did was teach me WHY by using analogies. That is how my brain processes apparently, and once I understood the larger concept (in analogous terms) behind what I was being asked to do, it all clicked. From this experience my suspicion is that people who say they are bad at math, but who are otherwise above average in intelligence, are not being taught math the way that their brain processes information. If more math professors were taught to offer simple analogies and even a few storylines to teach math concepts, we would have many more people excelling at least to the undergraduate college algebra level.

  35. If anyone is having doubts, I learned math from zero after graduating high school. Like I didn't even know fractions. I now have a bachelor's of engineering in chemical engineering. And you too can learn math, just like I did. I highly suggest YouTube to supplement your learning and you will thank yourself for it. As math is used everyday.

  36. Mathematics was always slightly more interesting when i wasnt studying for school
    3300
  37. Level 5 researcher. When you can pick up a research paper from your area of interest and understand what is going on.

  38. His eyes are literally staring into my soul, telling me to learn.

  39. My man just said: "Stop trying to understand math, go outside" And I like it
    2900
  40. I'm studying mathematics at a relatively prestigious university and the workload is TOUGH man, both in terms of volume and difficulty. I just wanted to say that your videos are so wholesome and they are a big source of motivation for me to keep going, keep studying, keep being curious.
    2900
  41. “I don’t really believe in homework, I don’t believe in tests, but I believe in you” 🤣
    2900
  42. “Everyone Understand? No one: “Ok! Great Moving on!”
    2900
  43. YouTube recommended this to me and I am grateful. I'm not a student,my problems are nothing math related, but this actually is good life advice.
    2800
  44. This is profound. My self-study has been hindered by my insistence on fully understanding each and every concept, and formula before moving on.
    2800
  45. The biggest lie I’ve heard and believed for so long was the idea that some people are born to do math and some can’t, believing in this makes you stop trying because its as if it is entirely determined and out of your control. Going back to the basics and really starting from the beginning will help, I never had the right foundation so I struggled whenever the questions would change. There’s no such thing as a “math person”, you can learn anything you want.
    2800
  46. Me: Hey professor, when are your office hours? Professor: Sure, absolutely! 2:13 A.M to 3:01 A.M every other Wendsday when the moon is between waning and waxing gibbon, and Mercury is in retrograde.
    2700
  47. I’m a self learner aged 70 - I feel wonderful having spent 1 hour per day studying maths. You are a super teacher Wizard thank you for your words of wisdom.
    2700
  48. I failed my first math class in university five times, then barely passed. I then spent a whole year (from May to September) studying math non-stop, 4 or so hours daily to pass my second math class, which was mostly calc 2. After that, the next two math classes I had I breezed through, calc 3 and tons of probability etc. hard work pays off.
    2700
  49. The dark side of selfstudy is when you’ve spent 100s of hours mastering a subject and nobody takes your knowledge seriously because you don’t have a degree in said subject. 😢
