    In his coaching center in Kuala Lumpur, did he progress through at the normal pace or did he accelerate? Why did he graduate late? Which year of school was he in when he first participated? How did he start getting tutored by Tan Kean An and Ivan Chan? Does he ever plan to share his google doc? I would love a part 2 with some of these questions.

    Although maths are very interesting to many of us, and some even go as far as to study them at university, we need to keep in mind that, taking into consideration the fact that we live in a complex society, it is important to have a broader education and broader interests. Specifically, it is important to be up to date with the news, to constantly be learning about useful stuff for our life and societies, and to look after our health and to exercise.

Understanding how different areas of math are interconnected can make it easier to grasp complex ideas. - Analyze Past Exams - Practice Regularly

    Hello, so one of the tips for developing mathematical intuition is to write a journal about the journey to the solution? Such as, first understanding the problem, if there is not enough theory knowledge, gather and revise them from notes. Then try to solve the problem in the first intuition idea, and repeat it for 2-4 threshold times. If solved write the journey of idea how you come to the solution and revise it later. If not solved then see the solution and try to understand how the author constructed or find a way to the solution right? But how to deeply analyze it? What are the other techniques I could use?

    • @MathWisdom42
      @MathWisdom42 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, journaling your problem-solving journey is an excellent way to build intuition. To analyze deeply, focus on identifying patterns or structures within the solution path, like recurring strategies (e.g., symmetry, invariants) or common manipulations (e.g., substitutions, reductions). Compare different approaches, reflecting on why one worked better, and try to generalize the solution techniques to other problems. You might also reverse-engineer solutions by tweaking parameters to see what breaks or still holds, or by analyzing what key insights made the solution possible and when they became apparent.

    We definitely need to give more spotlight to brilliant minds like him! ✨ Genius often feels like a mysterious force, but it's fascinating to see how intuition plays such a crucial role in it. Intuition can be elusive-something that seems almost magical-but it can be trained and sharpened, and that's exactly what we need to demystify. Through conversations like these, we can better understand how intuition develops and how we, too, can nurture it in our own thinking. Aladin, your videos are becoming increasingly insightful, offering a rare window into the minds of math geniuses. Keep up the incredible work-you're inspiring many of us to think deeper, dream bigger, and believe in the power of nurturing our own genius. 👏🔥
