My name is Jonathan Noe Verdin Gonzalez and this is my story: I performed horribly in mathematics and science in middle school through high school, averaging a C through those 2 curriculums from years 2015-2018. I graduated in 2018 and started to work, uncertain wether to pursue a degree or not, though I did contemplate the idea every now and then. I then stumbled upon this channel, as well as another mathematics channel, a physics channel & an engineering channel, though I am not here to bestow a god or faith of any kind I received those moments as wake up calls. I watched a video this channel uploaded regarding on how to start math from scratch, so I bought “discrete mathematics” (a green/white textbook) and did as much as I could, but I still could not digest the material. I went on buying Richard Feynmans’ lectures on physics, volumes I-III and proceeded to do the same thing, and the result was similar with what happened to the discrete math book. Alas, I kept on struggling, though thanks to this channel I nurtured an antiquarian nature, collecting primarily philosophy books, then mathematics and physics. Then, I picked up a book that had Plato’s texts, and flew through the texts 3 times not because it was difficult, but because his prose was eloquent. However, because of Plato, I have come to admire pure mathematics, as I believe Plato discovered (not invented) pure mathematics with his Theory of the Formas. That was this June and ever since my head has been buried in algebra, pursuing to be a competent scientist, though respecting mathematics as a versatile and universals tool, finding myself with joy through solving problems. I know plan to pursue physics as a career, and because of my keen interest on light, photonics. It is thanks to Philosophy for which this interest in intellectualism and elitism helped propagate my constant thirst for knowledge. I have a mathematics teacher, which is this channel, though it can not go without saying that he is the first mathematics teacher that spoke to me out of all my math teachers. Thank you Professor 🙏
Taking notes on what you have read (including the example problems), and then practicing the problems in the book, is extremely helpful in retaining what you have learned. The next day, review the same problems by reworking them. Hopefully this strategy is helpful. Best wishes for your math endeavors.
I remember what i read, by creating something about it, eg. A blog post in my WordPress blog, a video in my TH-cam Channel, or by reading it again, and/or solving some exercises about it, or by creating a pdf e-book, or document, and finally by creating a cheatsheet or shortcut list a page or two about it... or a program or website about it,... I am Programmer & Content Creator
What I learnt was that if you want to learn Math you gotta make it a passion, like you're trying to be the best in a sport is a good way to think about it
This has been one of the single most dominant themes in my life, dating back something like 4 decades. "Learn some math. Don't use the math every day. Forget the math. Have to re-learn the math. Don't use the math every day. Forget the math. Have to ..." lather, rinse, repeat. It's only just recently that I decided to make a determined effort to *keep* the stuff I learn in my head, by using Spaced Repetition[1] via the Anki[2] program. Done diligently, SR effectively allows for infinite recall![3] So yeah, as I write this, I'm literally just taking a break from creating Anki cards for some math topics I am focusing on right now. I'm looking forward to using this to truly commit to memory all the tedious, boring, mechanical rules and formulas from basic Algebra, Trig, etc., so I can feel confident about moving on to the higher level stuff. I'm expecting this route to be a real game-changer for me, as long as I stay committed to reviewing my decks frequently enough. [1]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition [2]: apps.ankiweb.net/ [3]: www.efavdb.com/memory%20recall
I completely agree, doing math every day will help with retention, however, make sure you really are DOING the math. There are a lot of ways you can do math too, e.g., you could do practice problems, you could try to find the proof of a statement yourself before looking at one provided in the book, you could even try to correctly recite an important definition and wonder why that's the best definition (or question why it's the one being given)
I agree wholeheartedly with this video. I'd say the way to remember any subject be it math, Physics or Chemistry, is to make it an important part of one's life even after graduating. Using math everyday is therefore a very efficient way to remember it. Those who are working in a field which involves math would use it anyway. This applies to art too. A work of literature such as the Iliad or the Odyssey remains in one's memory so long as it occupies an important place in one's life.
During the process of learning (self-study) for about 8 months, I have found that it's especially difficult to remember everything because at the early stage I'm having to learn a lot of the basics of many different areas. So algebra, trig, functions, mappings, permutations etc. and if I go through one book my brain is context switching a lot. In context and at the time I understand and remember a fair amount, but with a bit of time passing it feels like I may have forgotten everything if I glance back at what I was doing some months ago. It seems to me that the best understanding comes from reading different explanations from multiple angles, multiple contexts. Like I really started getting a sense for summations and series when I came across it being used to explain calculus integration. I wonder, besides the obvious benefit of 'revisiting' something, do people find that if they do a bunch of exercises in a certain context and move on, the knowledge is somewhat tied to that context, it's more when you see things being used again somewhere else that and doing those exercises that the real sticking power comes?
@@callmedeno I too had that problem during my Bachelor's Degree. I have found The Feynman Technique to be very useful in understanding an idea and then remembering it. The very fundamental ideas of Math or Science like Newton's laws are easy to remember, partly because we can see them in action in daily life all the time and also because they are so obvious that they become a part of our common sense. On the other hand more complex though no less fundamental ideas like Einstein's special and general theory of relativity are near impossible to observe directly in our daily life and thus a bit harder to understand or remember. In Math, just doing a bunch of exercises in a certain context without understanding what is going on do not tend to remain in our memory too long. In my own life, I have found the real sticking power comes from first understanding the topic ( Feynman Technique helps ), at least at a basic level, then practicing it, and then in the future, using the idea in other more complex math; such as the use of trigonometry and the exponential function in calculus.
I never try to remember math, but only deeply understand it, and it is greatly beneficial....with less effort of memorization. Math isn't in the category of history or recitation.
One thing I regret not doing during university was not to make tutorials of the things I learn. Maybe making a video for my future self could be a good refresher.
discussing with others what you have learnt is extremely impactful when learning math. the whole idea is to tell aloud how you interpret what you learnt and not just keeping it in your head. Based on how it lands you quickly will find out if your understanding was right.
I started to follow your channel some days ago, and i love it! I'm making a long shift from Social Sciences to maths and programming, and your videos serve a lot for adquiring the mindset to understand and be friends with Maths. Thanks a lot for the content and hope to see even more!
Math is a tower you are building in your mind, resting atop a foundation of axioms and theorems and categories (I once heard someond describe category theory as like eating your vegetables…). The more entrenched the foundation is, the sturdier the tower becomes. I believe this is largely why math students cannot escape analysis. It’s foundational. I wish undergrad programs placed a greater emphasis on logic tho… I digress; you don’t just want to build a firm foundation, you want to entangle ideas with other ideas, create neural pathways between schemas. I recommend all learners give a cursory glance at the educational science of encoding
I personally think there are few ways to remember the info you learn. Practice daily and use the info as you see in the real world ( nature is filled with math). Making flash cards also help.
I Heard your response to Ian (?), i hope i got that right), but that does help soo much, I was always AFRAID of math! and even doing little things daily, helps conquer you fear by giving you confidence in learning and if you get to APPLY IT during your day in some way- it really helps you grow. Good luck
For some crazy reason I never forget math but I do forget other things. I stopped studying math for close to 20 years and had no problem jumping back in again. I did some things over the years that I think made a difference. I always drew the picture. I often times would do a problem more than 1 way. I always checked my answer either by looking at the answers in the back of the book or even better using Geogebra or one of my fancy graphing calculators. when my answer did not match the answer in the back of the book, I would 'fight' with the problem. When you fight with a problem it is easier to remember it. When I forget a formula I know how to rederive it. When you have multiple ways of doing a problem, you can walk into a test without studying and have the confidence that you will figure it out. I have always wanted to figure out why I can do this since I have been trying to learn Italian and I keep learning and forgetting?
Well if anyone interested pls go ahead i don't if it might be helpful to u but i had helped me a lot. I used to have a hard time studing(i still have a hard time studing but better than before) well one my teachers told me he was not actual teacher just a youtube teacher but i respect him very much he told that " if u can't study or don't feel like studying, just start even if it's for 5 minutes just start , familiarise with topic read about the topic after some time u would get automatically invested would study for some time which is better than not studing at all, then slowly but slowly you would improve " well i think this applies on the people who enjoy learning I used to get distracted a lot i used to learn a lot of things which are not helping me i any way they are just extra knowledge, so yeah 👍 Sorry if I wrote some wrong English as English is not my first language
The secret is practice. practice and MORE practice. Then concepts become like second nature. Combine practice with relating concepts to the real world...
I always wondered about this question. You must create a mental model for math you learn. I observed that you could remember things learnt 10 years back. Cheers.
A certain percentage I can re-derive if I forget reasonably fast. Other parts like all those theorems are a bigger issue. And many of the definitions slip away from disuse. This is not dissimilar from general language vocabulary. I think interrelationships in math knowledge are really important and seldom well expressed in any particular text. I am attempting to learn enough type theory to follow the Lean Mathlib well for some of this. I am also learning Mathematica to save time and energy otherwise spent on working problems by hand. The interrelationships and when what technique or set of relevant parts of mathematics are fruitfully applicable are of main interest to me. This includes applicable to a set of Pure Math unproven things I occasionally exercise my poor head against.
This is the question i always wonder how my math teacher always remember all the solution of every math problems He is a amazing person , an absolute monster of math He literally can solve any problem even yesterday he did a problem which he said he last saw that 15 years ago sry my eng is bad , pardon me
I took abstract algebra in the Spring 2021 semester, and I am afraid to consider what I have actually forgotten. If you wait too long, then going back over it is like an infinite regress, you keep stepping back to the point of frustration.
I absolutely love your videos! Can I request that you add some advice videos on time management for math majors. There isn't as much info online as I'd hoped. As a 3rd year undergrad I find that I'm struggling with everything from scheduling how much time to devote to each class, how to balance multiple courses, and navigating the stress of compiling assignments. Thanks again so much for your videos!
I am a senior in high school and had a test on series and sequences two weeks ago…But I completely forgot that I can use the ratio test as a cheat code!
Titles, PhDs👩🎓 to black belts🥋, are attempts to freeze one’s accomplishments in time. However, nothing in life remains the same for long. Change is the only constant. Approaching the limit is fleeting. You’re either improving or declining; remembering or forgetting. Never fall victim to the “Title” trap lest you wake up one day as a charlatan. “Belts are only good for holding up your pants.” - Bruce Lee
Hi! I recently started tutoring on my university and never realized how hard is to explain any math concept to someone! I can never find the right words to describe the stuff, Do you have any good tips for tutoring or teaching in general? I also think this would be a cool video idea too if you haven't done it yet!
Awesome. Very well spoken. "if you don't use it, you'll lose it" Very true. But my problem is I don't do math everyday. I do have the "want" to learn but i don't feel the "need". Like my brain closes my ability to be eager for maths if there are no pending quizzes or exams. How can I discipline myself? Pls help
One technique to remember math is to transcribe the book. This is an ancient technique where you just copy the book word for word. A second technique is to go back on the material you have learned and write a commentary line for line and word for word, making sure to clearly define words.
In my opinion, practice is often a bit useless. If you apply the knowledge you deduced to only exercises in which you just apply only that knowledge, you will forget it for sure as soon as you stop practicing it. However, if you create and deduce knowledge with the knowledge you do not want to forget, you will never forget it. Besides, if some knowledge is only worth for "practising that knowledge"problems, I would write it somewhere or have it in a book and continue learning other things and doing other "morethinking" problems. As long as you can deduce it, you do not need to know it by heart for solving problems, that is stupid. Learn more and stop doing not selfimproving problems.(problems can be used to learn too, but those are the good ones).
Thanks for your contribution. I was looking on here for something smarter than just practice problems and your Insight seems to be much more in the right direction for improving my style
I don't think one has to "remember" math, but to understand. Once you get the insight, you don't need to "memorize" the formulas because they should become as natural as breath
To a certain extent forgetting some of your math, particularly arithmetic(or those horrid “proofs” they had you do in Highschool geometry, it’s a badge of honor. You have to be actually far to forget that stuff. This is also common with physics students as doing basic physics without the Hamiltonian may become quite difficult.
Dear math Sorcerer: thanks a lot for showing us such a great book. I wonder if you have ever looked at a copy of Richard P Feynman's book on Feynman path integrals. This is a very interesting book about how to solve a path integral of a photon interaction with an electron. I have tried to make sense of these path integrals for some time. These aren't the kind of Integrals they teach at the math department at my school. What do you think? Your pal Rick Wilson
You will never forget what is important to you or what you absolutely need. If you forget something, that simply means that whatever it is that you forget is not important to you or important in your life.
I have that forget what I don't use, one of the ways I try to keep from being to rusty is give myself bizarre possible scenarios. Be creative, it doesn't matter if the number of people who put pineapple on pizza affects the population, you can make a differential exercise by pretending it does. Have fun.
Can you explain how Mathematics is useful and practical to solving everyday problems? I get that Mathematics can be useful to create difficult models that would be impractical to create by hand, but how can one make Mathematics useful and practical?
Hi , i hope you are good. I take notes and my notes are very long, and when I look at my notes later, I see that I wrote useless things and I just wasted my time. My question is, "How to take notes while reading math? and how We should not write down everything we read?(I mean to understand what is important and what is "not important and not worth taking notes.)
Become a math tutor. I probably wouldn’t remember anything from calculus if I didn’t have students asking me to explain infinite series, FTC, and gradient vectors
professor I dont know why I keep failing my math tests.. I do my homework and study math but I still can’t figure out why im failing. I cannot stop feeling demotivated after that i failed.. How can i preform better in test?
hey i know it seems silly but playing video games or watching awesoem movies or reading books on youtube as well as playing free memory games on pc or phone will keep ur memory on point books actually or doing art is best in my opinon ok or u can do with they used to say at spelling bees across earth and galaxy draw alot or write stories or research u be fine really make sure u altruistic and in study fun mode and do cardio more so than muscle training awesome if u eat dont eat more than 2 or 3k calroies a day if u in military 5k healthy caloarios will help a bit more but no sugar based cane sugar or porecessed stuff u can eat real fruit extract but sweet vegatable stuff is best if u not alaergic to oysters or lobstor if u are then oranges and apples or alot of asain and fruits around the world that dont have agents in them that do stuff that gets u high or disorented ok . this man is awesome he reminds me of himself doing his best as a runic soldier u would be good at that just dont hit me to hard if we do video games on holodeck tech im making so people can exercsie while gaming woot!!!
Most traditional math textbooks give you answers to the odds in the back but not the evens. So, the answer is almost all math books you'll encounter that aren't like workbooks. In fact most books skew towards giving you less answers rather than more answers.
I spot your intelligent investor book, someone seems to have interest in Finance. Why not create videos related to Quantitative Finance. The author of the Intelligent Investor is known as the first propagator of Quantitative analysis but as you might’ve read, the book is still subjective in comparison to modern financial mathematics theory. Areas that cover financial math are PDEs & Analysis, Numerical Methods, Statistics, and Probability Theory. For a more Pure Math approach, Dr. Marcos Lopez de Prado uses Topology, Graph Theory, and Computing to create substantial relationships among assets rather than simply fitting it to a statistical method.

That's funny...20 minutes of watching YT videos and feeling empty, vs. 20 minutes in an "expensive" class with the same sentiment. Brick and mortar education keeps looking more ridiculous and wasteful as time progresses.
I mean, personally, I think the hardest problems we do in school are easy af... But I always forget simple algebra or simple geometry rules and have to re-remember everything each school year. It's boring and irritating af since my logic is very good, but the only thing keeping me from becoming the ultimate math nerd is just remembering math rules
Hey off topic but can u recommend me a good book for bsc mathematics. 🤌🏼💫 Topic: algebra and mathematical methods. P.s. I am from India (nep guidelines of 2020). I really am confused.

Explaining math to others, or better yet teaching/tutoring it for a living may be the best way.
That's exactly right. Teach it and you're forced to learn it deeply.

As a 3rd year undergrad I find that I'm struggling with everything from scheduling how much time to devote to each class, how to balance multiple courses, and navigating the stress of compiling assignments.
Thanks again so much for your videos!
I am a senior in high school and had a test on series and sequences two weeks ago…But I completely forgot that I can use the ratio test as a cheat code!
Can you do a Video on "How to decide what Formula or Method or Procedure to use for Solution of a particular Math Question?
Ayres is pronounced "Aires".
I agree. Something is always better than nothing in this context.
heyyyyy, i asked a memory question aswell! thank you sir!
Professor, I'm curious if you have a favorite branch of mathematics? Thanks Sorc
Titles, PhDs👩🎓 to black belts🥋, are attempts to freeze one’s accomplishments in time. However, nothing in life remains the same for long.
Change is the only constant. Approaching the limit is fleeting. You’re either improving or declining; remembering or forgetting.
Never fall victim to the “Title” trap lest you wake up one day as a charlatan.

awesome comment!!!!!!
Hi! I recently started tutoring on my university and never realized how hard is to explain any math concept to someone! I can never find the right words to describe the stuff, Do you have any good tips for tutoring or teaching in general? I also think this would be a cool video idea too if you haven't done it yet!
Awesome. Very well spoken. "if you don't use it, you'll lose it"
Very true. But my problem is I don't do math everyday. I do have the "want" to learn but i don't feel the "need". Like my brain closes my ability to be eager for maths if there are no pending quizzes or exams.
How can I discipline myself? Pls help
Wow.I have the same problem
One technique to remember math is to transcribe the book. This is an ancient technique where you just copy the book word for word. A second technique is to go back on the material you have learned and write a commentary line for line and word for word, making sure to clearly define words.
In my opinion, practice is often a bit useless. If you apply the knowledge you deduced to only exercises in which you just apply only that knowledge, you will forget it for sure as soon as you stop practicing it. However, if you create and deduce knowledge with the knowledge you do not want to forget, you will never forget it. Besides, if some knowledge is only worth for "practising that knowledge"problems, I would write it somewhere or have it in a book and continue learning other things and doing other "morethinking" problems. As long as you can deduce it, you do not need to know it by heart for solving problems, that is stupid. Learn more and stop doing not selfimproving problems.(problems can be used to learn too, but those are the good ones).
Thanks for your contribution. I was looking on here for something smarter than just practice problems and your Insight seems to be much more in the right direction for improving my style
Thank you Sir .
Are you preparing for JEE
@@Maths_3.1415 yes.

@@Maths_3.1415 Thank you very much 😊👍.
I am preparing of jee advanced and its hard to remember anything i study
But studying for jee made my maths good even if i forget few things
I don't think one has to "remember" math, but to understand. Once you get the insight, you don't need to "memorize" the formulas because they should become as natural as breath
Can you give any tips of how to fill up the gaps in the math's field that we've gotten through school?
Plz cover books for maths olympiads
Sir will you please give us some tips about learning geometry
I love you man!
❤️
To a certain extent forgetting some of your math, particularly arithmetic(or those horrid “proofs” they had you do in Highschool geometry, it’s a badge of honor. You have to be actually far to forget that stuff.
This is also common with physics students as doing basic physics without the Hamiltonian may become quite difficult.
Note: it’s really funny when a person struggles to take the derivative but is fluent enough to read a proof of 1+1=2
Please make a separate video on recurrence relation
Please sir
Good idea! I have some videos and playlists on some first order and second order ones. I should make more though there is probably a lot I don’t have.
@@TheMathSorcerer thank you for replying sir 😭😭
Dear math Sorcerer: thanks a lot for showing us such a great book. I wonder if you have ever looked at a copy of Richard P Feynman's book on Feynman path integrals. This is a very interesting book about how to solve a path integral of a photon interaction with an electron. I have tried to make sense of these path integrals for some time. These aren't the kind of Integrals they teach at the math department at my school. What do you think? Your pal Rick Wilson
Could you please show Lipman Bers “CALCULUS”?
You will never forget what is important to you or what you absolutely need. If you forget something, that simply means that whatever it is that you forget is not important to you or important in your life.
ROFLMFAO.
very good book, the downside is - softcover (
Excellent video.
I agree 100%
Now I really want to know what kind of videos the Math Sorcerer watches.
I have that forget what I don't use, one of the ways I try to keep from being to rusty is give myself bizarre possible scenarios. Be creative, it doesn't matter if the number of people who put pineapple on pizza affects the population, you can make a differential exercise by pretending it does. Have fun.
You also have books on chemistry ! ))
Yes !
study hard everyone! an hour of math a day keeps the math goblins at bay
Plz take lecture on jee advanced Maths 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Can you explain how Mathematics is useful and practical to solving everyday problems? I get that Mathematics can be useful to create difficult models that would be impractical to create by hand, but how can one make Mathematics useful and practical?
¡Buen día! ¿Has estado en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM en la CDMX? Greetings from México City :) I love your channe!
No nunca! Algun dia a lo mejor me gustaria visitar:)
Sir one doubt did you solve the small problem in paper or just read
Hi , i hope you are good.
I take notes and my notes are very long, and when I look at my notes later, I see that I wrote useless things and I just wasted my time. My question is, "How to take notes while reading math? and how We should not write down everything we read?(I mean to understand what is important and what is "not important and not worth taking notes.)
Do you think this book would also help me with precalc trig? Looks like a good book to have
How does the second derivate compare to the first and f(x) graphically?
What a lovely exercise - you taught me something ;) Makes me want to dive in more into analyzing series and learning about them^^
@Math Sorcerer: Can you please do a video on Tree(3)?! 🙂
Not my hair or head but I think going for shorter hair or even bold might not be a bad idea
Would you like to read mathmatics book series of cengage. Written by g.tiwani
Become a math tutor. I probably wouldn’t remember anything from calculus if I didn’t have students asking me to explain infinite series, FTC, and gradient vectors
Hi can you recommend a good book for numerical linear algebra? Thanks a lot
This one is pretty good stuff, "Numerical linear algebra, Nick Trefethen". Should be findable with that search term.
Wtf I did this problem in one of cengage jee book with concept of telescoping series
professor I dont know why I keep failing my math tests.. I do my homework and study math but I still can’t figure out why im failing. I cannot stop feeling demotivated after that i failed.. How can i preform better in test?

hey i know it seems silly but playing video games or watching awesoem movies or reading books on youtube as well as playing free memory games on pc or phone will keep ur memory on point books actually or doing art is best in my opinon ok or u can do with they used to say at spelling bees across earth and galaxy draw alot or write stories or research u be fine really make sure u altruistic and in study fun mode and do cardio more so than muscle training awesome if u eat dont eat more than 2 or 3k calroies a day if u in military 5k healthy caloarios will help a bit more but no sugar based cane sugar or porecessed stuff u can eat real fruit extract but sweet vegatable stuff is best if u not alaergic to oysters or lobstor if u are then oranges and apples or alot of asain and fruits around the world that dont have agents in them that do stuff that gets u high or disorented ok . this man is awesome he reminds me of himself doing his best as a runic soldier u would be good at that just dont hit me to hard if we do video games on holodeck tech im making so people can exercsie while gaming woot!!!

Are there books that have practice problems that teaches concepts but it does not give you the answer?
Most traditional math textbooks give you answers to the odds in the back but not the evens. So, the answer is almost all math books you'll encounter that aren't like workbooks. In fact most books skew towards giving you less answers rather than more answers.
Wow Newton
Learn how to code so you can convert the problem to a practical challenge and understand the concepts
He look's like issac newton or Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz 😄😄😄😄
Namaste sir ,u look like Newton
I spot your intelligent investor book, someone seems to have interest in Finance. Why not create videos related to Quantitative Finance. The author of the Intelligent Investor is known as the first propagator of Quantitative analysis but as you might’ve read, the book is still subjective in comparison to modern financial mathematics theory. Areas that cover financial math are PDEs & Analysis, Numerical Methods, Statistics, and Probability Theory. For a more Pure Math approach, Dr. Marcos Lopez de Prado uses Topology, Graph Theory, and Computing to create substantial relationships among assets rather than simply fitting it to a statistical method.

Hey bro leave math first tell me how to remember this video 😂
That's funny...20 minutes of watching YT videos and feeling empty, vs. 20 minutes in an "expensive" class with the same sentiment.
Brick and mortar education keeps looking more ridiculous and wasteful as time progresses.
Are you.... are you the reincarnation of Isaac Newton?
trying to grow out your hair like Newton eh?
I mean, personally, I think the hardest problems we do in school are easy af... But I always forget simple algebra or simple geometry rules and have to re-remember everything each school year. It's boring and irritating af since my logic is very good, but the only thing keeping me from becoming the ultimate math nerd is just remembering math rules
Practice hella idk
hey math sorcerer, can you cast a spell on me and make me pass my calc bc test on friday ? :-)
Hey off topic but can u recommend me a good book for bsc mathematics. 🤌🏼💫
Topic: algebra and mathematical methods.
P.s. I am from India (nep guidelines of 2020).
I really am confused.
