It reminds me of Harold R. Jacobs Book „Mathematics. A human Endeavour“. It was the book that i used when i started my selfstudying journey through mathematics. I became a little emotional after watching this video. Came after 15 years of mathematical analphabetism, after bad teachers at school and started with Jacobs Book. I hab to learn from the scratch on, mathematical thinking. Now i reached Calc 1 Level and discrete Math and a major in Computer Science. Your channel and your videos also guided me from the beginning through my current journey and hopefully will for the future
You turned me from someone who feared math and didn’t do well in grade school at it… to passing Calculus 1/2 and Discreet Math. I love learning and have always wanted to get better at this subject! Much love.
I'm now in Chain Rule. My brain is slowly learning to do the stuff like it's a puzzle. My best so far is 30 marks worth exercises in 60 minutes. I really want to be better, which i will be eventually. But really grateful for all the advice.
Fourier series can be used to approximate any functions, thereby any curves between any two points, thereby any paths between two points in 2D space, thereby any paths between two points in curved 2D space, ultimatly one can prove straight line is the shortest path using fourier series, (maybe ?)
Is he still going across America? What state is he in now? He should make some videos about the trip. I had to put Calculus by Steward aside because it seemed too difficult. I've been doing math in Intro & Intermediate Algebra for College Student by Blitzer, Calculus by Bittinger and reading How to Read & Do Proofs. Basically, I've been working in other math books. I went back to Stewart's Calculus and it was much easy. I mean, I'm only on page 15 and it will probably get difficult again soon. I guess point is: put something aside and do other things. Come back to it later and maybe it won't be so difficult. I'm going to look for the book in the video above.
I used to study like that, too. I found out there’s a reason one must master the foundations first. Furthermore, I discovered that the desire for great skill should not exceed appreciation for the art (or science). You see this in Euler’s Algebra book, where he gets into theory of equations & you get a great appreciation. Mathematics can be learned like a language; requires full immersion.. somebody aptly said “you will realize that it’s a lifestyle choice.”
@@Mathematica702 I feel I'm learning another language the more I study mathematics and the math starts to open up for me. It really is like learning a language.
You need to start describing the fragrance of books when taking a whiff in better terms, as if describing a fine wine; notes of leather and tobacco with hints of honey and acetone...

What does "being in Chain Rule" mean? Is it a game or a website? It sounds fun, I want to try it!
@@hasch5756 Chain Rule is one of the formulas of derivatives.
A calculus concept @@hasch5756
Thank you so much! I was itching to start reading math again, and this book seems perfect!
Love how math sorcerer has kept this “just take a whiff” bit going for years now.
Professor, I just found this book and it's up to the 13th edition... Thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to my digital collection.
can i find it on the internet
google libgen, then search for the book there
@@metamorphos0of course but it's not free
I find it fascinating that there are mathematicians just out there somewhere

Can you make some sort of catalogue for the all the books you recommended?
Where yo get certificate after complete these all book math one by one

Certainly it's a great book, since
Math requires adequate attitudes, not only a routine drilling which is unfortunately the case in most cases.
I want this book!
Would you be interested in reviewing the “Topology of Numbers” by Hatcher?
Excellent book. 👍 And Cantor's first name is pronounced Ge-org , not George
Good Stuff.
I have its 12th edition. Haven't read it though.
Books need to age a little to get that deep rich vintage smell.
Karl Smith is what I would expect the author of an economic "Theory of everything" would be called
Looks like it is a real smorgasbord.
