  1. Tell her to use text books and start from the very beginning without hurry and without jumps further. If you are made for math, this is the best way to study. If not, no teacher can help you. But there are many people thinking they are bad at math but with proper approach it will be easy for them. But no one can learn math in no time, so be prepared to invest many many hours.

  3. It is because you do too much and need rest. The body is begging for rest. So, try to observe how much you can do such that you do not need rest days. Start with low (not high) and increase it slowly. If you need days off, you know that you have to reduce the time/effort. Consistency is more important. If you can study 3 to 5 hours every day, consider it a good program and stick with that.

  4.  @UnconventionalReasoning  Maybe at this point I understand better your main idea. The exercise/problem is not really good if it forces you to deal with big calculations.

  7. In school the calculator was not allowed. But at home it is useful because making big calculations on paper again and again is time consuming without learning something new in that amount of time. A calculator gives you fast idea about the boundaries of the result you are searching for.

  8. 1. Nope. 2. Not really. 3. Finally, I have one. 4. I'm already tired.

  9. None of these. I just cover a book page by page, line by line in order and do not go further before all is full understand. Sometimes a go back and recap if is needed. Not just reading. Write everything, try your demonstrations and give up and see the demo in book if needed. See the demo anyway. But it is important that the book presents all demonstrations. It is all there. A good book gives you all you need.Notes in class are usually incomplete and corrupted.

  10.  @letsdomath1750  Yes, it may be difficult to find a good book. Sometimes you lose time with one book just to find out hat it is not what you need. For me standing in class is time wasted, unless I already learned that and I just have some questions. A day has only 24h. Better I use 6hours for self study than sleeping in classroom. But this is just me. A youtube guy that worked at google and facebook and studied math said that he never used notes. He is not a "writer" he is a "speaker". I believe him, the famous Feynman was a speaker too.

  11. It's your opinion but best opinion approves you so you have the best opinion.

  12. 7:40 Do not put those when you train alone. Discs should easily fall if needed. Imagine you are stuck with a bar above your neck.

  13. Physics uses math. It doesn't need to prove theorems, just use them. Also, as physics evolved as a science, you have to get rid of intuition and common sense and just use math (and then of course, sustain all with experiments). For that reason physics can be at most as hard as math.

  14. Love takes time. :) search for Mariah Carey 'Love takes time' - it makes more sense.

  15.  @UnconventionalReasoning  Not the same calculation again and again. Maybe my English is the problem here, by "again and again" I want to say often.

  16.  @UnconventionalReasoning  No, you already know how to make 64x9x27 (for example). Doing this kind of calculations all the time adds nothing to your knowledge. If you have 2 hours for math, better do not waste the time with such trifle. Even worse, if you make a mistake, everything is wrong and you have to rework. Yes, more time invested in thinking is better, but in practice you have limited time, better you invest it wisely. You either waste the same 2 hours making such calculations on paper or learn something and advance to the next subject.

  17.  @UnconventionalReasoning  Aka if I have to do 64x9x27 I already am on the wrong path? I go back here to my first comment, where I mentioned using the calculator for fast verification of the boundaries of the result. Maybe you want to see how a function behaves near some big number. It is not solving the problem per se, but you get a hint.

  18. No. It is time and energy consuming. You are sliced in two directions.

  19. Well, you'll be surprised but at basics, computer science is the same. We still have the same architecture and you still can learn algorithms developed in 1970 valuable today. At low level is the same. What changes though is at high level. And yes, you need to learn constantly because tools you use change constantly.

  21. I bet it is because you make jumps. Do it right from A to Z, from simple to complex, from axioms to most important theorems learning everything between. Learn IN ORDER all pieces of the puzzle.

  23.  @B888-h2o  Good question. This shows me that indeed you do not know how to proceed. If A proves B and B proves C then you can't use C to prove A. To understand C you must know B and to understand B you must know A. Proceeding in right order makes magic to disappear. Don't worry, in this way theories are built. The text book will take care to present knowledge in right order. All you need to do is to follow it page after page, line by line.

  24.  @B888-h2o  In the end knowing the right order is part of what you must know. Given an whatever theorem you must know how to prove it from scratch aka knowing how to prove the stuff used in its demonstration and so on. This is mathematics after all.

  25.  @B888-h2o  I do not know what you want to learn or what level you are or which country you are to make recommendations. If you are student use whatever they give you. My point was not about starting at 'bottom' but going through a book/theory from the beginning and line after line. No matter the level you are or the book you read. Ah, another thing, write! For most people reading is not enough. This means a lot of time to spend with learning but hey hey, this is the thing these good students do.

  26. 4:31 I did these in high school at 15 years old and it was a piece of cake. But I believe you referred to way more advanced topics in the beginning of the video. But you have to master the theory, the basics. Exponential and log functions are inverse to each other, so their charts are symmetric to the first bisector, they are bijective so injective. Solving many problems has to do with this injectivity. And keep in mind their domain. Don't jump to exercises before you understand what's going on in theory.

  27. Hehe, wrong theory. In fact when you REVISITED the same subject in math it is suppose to be a lot easier. That's because learning is made in cycles and by repetition. So, it is not because of 'the right moment' but because you had a grasp when you revisited.
