Thank you:)
I was a student who was so bad (math), my teacher told me im not good enough for it.
Graduation day, I had the highest grade in the hardest finals for the past 20 years as said by the math teachers.
Just keep going. I once sat on a problem for a week straight until it finally clicked.
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
Basic tautology
Not always true though, you can be naively optimistic by thinking you can do something when in reality you can't, or you can be naively pessimistic by thinking you can't do something when in reality you can. We must not over-estimate or under-estimate our abilities.
@@progamerzach1i agree. How do you figure out whst is and is not possible?
@@geddon436 Sometimes we don't always know what is or isn't possible, for example is interstellar travel across the universe possible? It either is or isn't, but we're not too sure about it because maybe our current understanding can't figure how to do it. People hundreds and thousands of years ago probably thought circling across the world in less than 2 days is impossible, or going to space is impossible, yet we've accomplished those things through our aircraft and rocket ships.
But sometimes you can find out right away if something is possible or isn't, for example it's impossible for a human to lift a 500 ton boulder, or to jump 500 feet in the air, or to fly without equipment. And if something is possible but our efforts aren't reaching the goal then we're simply not working smart, for example you can lift a small rock with just your hand but it's impossible to lift it if you attempt to do it by levitation or any other way that doesn't involve actually touching the rock and lifting it.
Point is we must be realistic and be careful on or judgements when we label something possible or impossible. Even some UFOs that pilots have seen have reported to be breaking the laws of physics, so our perspective and beliefs must align with reality if we want to understand how the universe operates.
Trying your best at whatever it is and then see what the results are@@geddon436
I needed this inspiration right now. I have this tendency to be hard on myself and get stuck in questioning if I'm smart enough. Thank you for coming through at almost midnight eith a video to help me get out of that thinking!
You are smart. If you were not smart you wouldn't have watched this video. Insist and fight and never surrender! Seriously: what he said it's true, do a total attack on the subject you are studying, check every page of the book, google if you can't find the answer in the book. You will make it. If you want to of course.
The magic your'e looking for , is in the work you're avoiding.
I didn't have the chance to take up further maths in secondary school which made some doors closed for me. Eg Going to a Junior college which is 11th and 12th grade. But I didn't give up and started learning calculus 1 on my own this year which is kinda challenging to me. But I'm really set on taking aeronautical engineering in a polytechnic so Im hoping to learn as much maths I can so that I can close the gap between students who have taken Futher maths and me. Thank you For another Sam sulek Car drive video, Mr Sorceror
Talk about perfect timing. I mean I needed to hear this just an hour ago after talking to someone over the phone who wondered why I am studying math and expressed doubts about whether it made any sense for me to do so. And an hour later, bingo, a new video from The Sorcerer appears that addresses what I was feeling. So I definitely needed to hear this. I believe in math and what it can do. It is too bad "non-math" people don't understand this.
Never stop posting, please! You’ve helped me a ton!
I'm not even a math student, but this speech helps a lot. Applies to every field. Perfect timing btw. Ty as always
I always think if there’s someone out there that has figured out the problem before, then there’s no reason I can’t either
you dont know how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you!
Love hearing your vids man, they be inspiring me and hyping me up to actually go into my math classes excited to learn. Much love
Thank you for posting this, I’m really struggling in my partial differential equations class right now
This is so true! I’ve been that student in math/stats classes quite a few times haha, it takes a lot perseverance, but it’s very possible
This story is much more useful than you may think! Thank you Math Sorcerer, you have my support.
I love your positivity! I find I can do most anything I put my mind to do. I went from being 'bad' at math in high school to being an electrical engineer with an advanced degree. Math is now a hobby! I am always finding reasons to learn more math to apply in my career and leisure pursuits. I enjoy following your channel and may check out some of your courses. Keep up the great work!
When you mentioned that Statistics was probably the easiest class you had taught, my heart sank. In the semester that just concluded, I passed Calc 2 and Calc 3, but will have to re-sit my Probability and Statistics paper.
It was extremely disheartening and crushing given that the Statistics paper was the very first college module that I had to re-sit. No excuses here...back to the grind!
Your videos are so inspiring and motivational to persist through the challenges of math. This is great stuff.
thank you!you are a giving strength to all of us who are struggling and trying hard on college's subjects.
This goes for home study too. It took me a year to get through linear algebra all the way through eigendecomposition. I now get it. I consulted several courses and books until I found one that clicked and learned how to use Mathematica and Chat GPT to visualize calculate and explain aspects of the subject
Thank You,
For the encouragement. i’ve seen myself go from bad AP calculus, grades and bad high school pre-Cal grades to impressive trigonometry standards when I went to community college. It was incredible. How many problems I was doing a week in order to turn-in the homework problems. It was roughly about 70 to 90 problems a week and I would calculate how many problems I would have to do a day. But I was shocked on my first Trig exam when I saw I got a whopping 99 ; I just couldn’t believe it. I was thinking as I checked the grade in my car in the parking lot and “it must’ve been a glitch” b/c I’ve never seen myself get an A in a math class. So I appreciate your encouragement. I’m trying to do engineering man. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do. The only type of math that pains me the most is arithmetic😢. Mental stuff and tricks to do so I feel are more tedious than helpful, but thx god we have calulators🎉
Man the timing on this video is crazy. I have adhd and I’m currently taking calc 1, math is very easy for me as long as I have my medication and am able to pay attention during lectures that’s why I got a 96 on the first exam. I bombed my most recent test cause I was out of meds for a few weeks and it was really eating me. I’ve definitely been feeling like a failure over the past week and this really helped me.
What people usually call talent I call a huge interest in something in particular. Another thing is our potencial. As you say, it is also huge in all of us, but to use it requires A LOT of work, and many many people still don't realize how much work it does take.
I think one of the keys to achieve something by studying, learning, growing... is to have a clear target in mind, what do you want to reach. And when you have that cristal clear in your mind, work hard and go for it, simple.
But of course, as that famous 70's rock song sings, It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll.
Thanks for the motivation. I'm currently struggling with Differential Equations and I'm really afraid of failing. This semester the average on the first test was a 2.6 out of 7 (we use a weird scale of 1 to 7 for grading in my country), so this year DE has been particularly hard, but anyways, let's hope for the best. Greetings from South America
I want to come on here and thank you, I just started my summer semester at my college and I’m taking calc 1, the teacher unfortunately is very confusing for me, she goes really fast and I don’t understand anything, I had a Chp 1 quiz today, I stayed up until 2 am watching all of your Chp 1 calc videos and when it came time for the quiz I had so much confidence and I think I did really well, I knew exactly what to do, and I’m impressed because I barely passed pre calc with a C last semester, thank you for your videos and for being an amazing teacher, you helped me a lot today !!
These videos come at the perfect time. Thank you 😭
on the right time i swear to god
ur literally the best ty for making content like this :)
thank you:)
6:23 Awe man, I love that so much! As someone learning on my own, I hope I can tutor and teach others some day so that I can give them an easier time than what I had in the beginning. Finding more potential in myself really helped me see even more potential in other people, too. If I can do it (in the crazy, haphazard way I've been learning 😅 ) then I'm confident that plenty of other people can do it, too.
Great comment, thank you my friend!!
@TheMathSorcerer Thanks for sharing. I hope you can PLEASE eventually respond to my other comments when you can. Thanks very much.
You are the one because whom I started to do self study of mathematics and physics from zero
You were the one who gave me motivation to do so thankyou sir ❤❤
Thanks for the words. Growing up I was crap at math. After years of avoiding college I decided to study CS. Initially I had to drop precalc because of how bad I was at it. I’ve also become a math major and next thing ya know I went up to Diff Eqs. I thought I had gotten good at math until I took my first proofs course. Ended up with a C … it was my first real math course at a University and I felt so slow compared to others. Now I’m frightened for more proof courses and then real analysis. All I can do is ease up on the pot and study even harder
Thank you for this video
I needed to hear this today
Thx deeply ❤
Thanks for the video
This kind of happened with me in General Chemistry 2. I got an associates in business back in 2018 and ended up in a totally different line of work. I came back for science and I jumped right into General Chemistry without refreshingly my math. I struggled big time with isolating variables when solving for certain variables of certain formulas. I got a 50 on a test that was all about rate laws, equilibrium, etc and not having the math skills made it hard. I did end up bouncing back and getting a C, but this summer I'm taking Intermediate Algebra. The furthest I ever got in math was Pre Calculus but I decided to just bite the bullet and build myself back up from the fundamentals. The truth is math is important in almost every field.
I needed to hear this, thank you. Math has never come easy for me and I begin calculus tomorrow.
you will do fine. try to understand the big ideas (functions and function behavior, limit, average rate of change, instantaneous rate of change, slope of a curve at a point, graphing without relying on a table of values), the calculations will come with practice
@@fortyacresthank you! This is great advice.
Needed this
took calc 2 this semester and ending up getting a 71% curved (64 raw) on the midterm and ended up getting a 93% on the final thanks to the tutoring center on campus, couldn't recommend them enough to people, especially since most universities have them and are free
Thank you sir I really love your videos
Great post!
Thank you for this I’m terrified but I’m gonna pass this class
If you believe you can, you can achieve. You have to believe!
Thank you for motivating me to do math❤
Thank you Sir for motivating the young students
Love this bruh
I just got a 60 today on my first differential equations exam. Of course I am bummed out, being that I spent such a long time doing all the homework and reviewing the material. I strive for this kind of mindset. I will not lose. I will win.
I started calc 2 this past semester with a 29/40 on the first midterm and finished the class with an A when only 15% of the class got an A. I was even surprised lol but going to office hours and using the review material works wonders as I learned after that first midterm. Next up is multivariable calc, heard calc 2 is the worst of them so hopefully that’s true!
I went through my entire school life and early undergrad not knowing I had ADHD. Maths was the only subject at school I didn't 'get'. I'm in my early 50s now and i'm giving it another shot. I'm still making careless mistakes, which is kinda classic for an ADHD sufferer. At least I know **why** now!. Keep trying. It's never too late.
You help me to believe in myself
So intriguing, he is on a wild trip.🎉
Love 😍 that!
Impossible is enough.
For some reason stats was the hardest math class I ever taken. I got a 50 on the first test. However, I aced every single math class in engineering like Calc 1-3, differential equations. and high school math. I even took some topology in my EE class and did well. I bounced back though with a lot of work and got an A-. I have never struggled that much with a math class though
Mathematics can be difficult. I know I am ready when I can explain it to someone else. Often the struggle can be focus which can be difficult to overcome. When someone is determined and puts in the time, I would always bet on them. At some point, it will just click.
I'm curious if you're privy to Terrence Howard's presentation of the Flower of Life and the debate around platonic solids compared to these "new" solids and how it could affect math theory.
I NEEDED THIS!!! THIS IS A SIGN
I love this car talk thing
If i had to follow only one channel it would be this one
Sir, before starting any new chapter in maths what r the thingd must do and what r the things that must be avoid before starting it .....and I am from India who is interested in jee exam can u pls talk about it.
I’m taking calculus 2 in the fall and I’m scared
lots of concepts but just make sure to not fall behind! keep up!
i believe you
How many math questions per chapter should a person answer when doing a self-study of mathematics?
The next video : it's possible .
I like to think it this way: if you were put in solitary confinement for the rest of your life and you had nothing to do except study mathematics, would you be able to learn the material? If the answer is yes, then it's possible, and if the answer is no, then it's either impossible or you haven't found a way. Sometimes failing multiple times at something doesn't automatically mean it's impossible to achieve the goal, I believe the key to guaranteed success is having potential, proper resources, working smart and working hard all at the same time.
This is the kind of guidance which any teacher should engage in, in class. It can be extremely helpful and will pay dividends down the road.
just think about that little train in that children's book. i forgot the name of it. "i think i can, i think i can..."
The little engine that could
so many things to figure out but you are here is not impossible
I alw talk like this when I'm driving 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I want to start at 64. I have 4 postgraduate degrees but need to upgrade my Mathematics from High School. I want to go all the way . Can I in 11 years ?
stat 2 is no joke tho
This is the Math version of Sam Sulek's car talk
My calc 2 professor failed me in 2 tests because of my writing i got 1 problem wrong on each, if i go slower i run out of time and if I write fast my writing is a little sloppy, (not illegible but to be fair not perfect) it's just like me and 7 people left from like 35
I wish I was your student.it would be an honor. Math Sorcerer, do you know the proof of the horizontal shift rule
i passed on my math exam today, after many months of stressing
일단 저는 뇌는 양자컴퓨터라고 생각해서 적절하고 과감한 모델로 꾸준히 생각하면 누구나 서스턴 그로텐딕 힐베르트같은 인물이 될 수 있다고 생각해요.근데 고통은 겪겠죠.
Can you give more insight on it ?
love the car talks
do you still teach currently?
Don't stop making these videos
He's literally the Sam Sulek of mathematics
❤️
potential.
Trying to convince people that calling the counting naturals the only countable infinity is circular logic is impossible; but you’re welcome to prove me wrong.
Nothing is impossible. People only haven’t thought of it, yet. Maybe out of fear? Of the unknown, perhaps?
Self doubt kills your potential to succeed or realise your dreams. I am the only one who thinks I can’t do a PhD . Friends , professors who taught me at Uni and family believe I am the perfect candidate. It is kinda of late for me now but people believe in yourself .
You might be right man. It all starts inside.
Too many American high school students give up on math and science too early.
ii
Ok sam sulek
Well this is the first time I'm doing it so please don't mind me.
Now then
"FIRST!!!!"
You guys in america can fail 2 tests in uni and still go into next semester?! How easy that is haha. Where I live you can‘t fail, if you do you are kicked out and maybe even forbidden to study again in this major.
🧡🧡🧡
Vitamin N makes the impossible, possible. N for NO. Not no to your dreams and aspirations, but no to when you want to give up. We naturally say yes to what we desire in the moment, but the ones who actually make it further than everyone else are the people who inhibit their temporary satisfaction to allow their future selves to have freedom.
yo sorcerer, aren't we supposed to not be on our phone while driving.
Did you watch Terrence Howard on Rogan?
Yes, Mr. Bezos
It has to be little clearer in your presentation. People who teach arealwats great in first few steps in problem and then jump to step thirthy three and lose every body!!!!
Merci !
That's what I needed to hear to keep cooking meth!
😂😂😂
"Because I have seen it", what an amazing fallacy for a mathematician, to confuse "there exists" with "for all". Admittedly, it's probably the most common fallacy people engage in: generalize from a single or a few observations to "therefore it must be so".
Terrence howard is going viral because of the joe rogan podcast, Im not good with real analysis so can you disprove 1×1=2
does not take real analysis to disprove that statement, assuming x means multiplication, it's an extremely trivial statement, one grouping of one is going to be itself, that being, one. QED
if you allow that result, then you get all kinds of other 'interesting' results:
Assume 1x1=2 and all else holds
this would imply:
1x0= 1 x (-1 + 1) = 1x-1 + 1x1 = -1 + 2 = 1. of course 0≠1
Sir , you should not make a video while driving a car . You are risking yours and others' life .
The greatest issue in any field of study is: SEMANTICS,SYNTAX, SEMIOTICS,PERSEVERANCE AND FREQUENCY. Whatever field you select you must have a passion for that field; if you have passion, then no grading system or failure will hinder you. You must constantly expose yourself to the material. Unfortunately our grading system is very discouraging to some individuals. Some people learn at different speeds; or one author explains the material better so the recpient starts to comprehend the material. Or maybe the representational form of the problem is not conducive to some people's cognitive identity or cognitive architecture. The way a problem is written syntactically, and semantically can make the problem appear to be much more difficult than it really is. Probabilisticly, the more problems you expose yourself to, the greater the acquisition of solutions. P.S. keepup the great work. You are a true teacher!🕍🕌👍🏿
My final exams are in two weeks any tips!btw I will be tested in nine subjects🥲
Love ur channel 💗
