Link is not workinggg 😢😢😢😢 helpp
Our school they just show the formula and ask us to calculate it but we didn't know for wtf they use it😢. It ended up giving me bad marks

😢Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😢😢😢
Ça ne montra pas ta compétence du tout. Même les natifs ne pourraient point piger ce dont il parle dans quelques cas, fr.
@@user-oq4wo1ic8jYou should be able to say in words what you are learning and why, so I am going to use terms most people don’t know so nobody knows what’s going on.
bro wait firstly I have to search meanings of the words you spoke😵💫
@@abcdefg-hv2ks It's not very difficult, its just words that you don't hear very often i guess
@@abcdefg-hv2ksI disagree.I am a non native and this is essay English
It's not difficult for you but it can be difficult for others.
@@abcdefg-hv2ks Hey there as a native speaker. You are the problem in the world. Instead of mocking someone who is trying to gain knowledge, instead try HELPING them or just saying NOTHING at all. Why did you feel the need to put someone down? Did it make you feel better and more intelligent?
@@abcdefg-hv2ksdont be arrogant
it is completely true, that's how problem solvers think - find a way how to deal with problem before accounting for numbers
I was always taught as a controls technician start easy move to harder. Think of the dumbest easiest reasons something could be the way it is slowly working your way to more complex.
@@captsploof oooh!! I have to practice thinking like this again!! Usually Im like in the original comment, but some shit really isn't that complex!
But how?
@@khadijaayman2916 There are 2 ways, the easiest one is to get familiar with the pattern for a particular problem and then learn many patterns like that to choose from. The second one is incredibly hard - invent a new solution for a problem. I'd suggest reading book Framing, it really changed my perception of problem-solving
pause*
goes to get a dictionary*
same...
In the mid-1990s, I tried taking the required algebra course at my university. I kept getting points taken off of my problem-solving. I met with the TA and asked why. She told me I needed to be using the current system of problem-solving. I asked her, 'Why does it matter how I get the right answer as long as I can prove how I got there?' The TA said that was how the class was set up. I looked at her, 'So, you're telling me that if Albert Einstein was in the class? You would take points off because he'd be using an older system?' The TA paused, then said, 'Yes.' I dropped the class.
how did you do?
I have a feeling this didn't happen and you're lying,
@@tusheyy6033 The story is made up, he dropped the class because he wasn't cut out for it
@@tusheyy6033, it ended up that I couldn't return for my senior year. I spent a long time paying off that student loan. A few years ago, I looked into returning and discovered that my university had added a lot of new requirements. It was also suggested that I should switch one of my majors. I would be attending for another two years. I'm considering taking one course per semester since I no longer care how long it takes. As for that algebra course? You should know there was almost a twenty-year gap between taking algebra in high school and university. I did much better in Geometry in high school. In fact, I loved it. I'm checking out options for online Algebra classes for people like me who need help relearning the subject.
is that so... i wish you the best!@@CindersVale
I seriously respect my math and logic teacher professor because this is exactly the way he teaches. First he starts teaching how to problem solve in big terms, and your thought process through breaking down a problem and understanding what each part of your process is
agree 100% percent, studying math in university right now, and the only thing that helped build deeper understanding and spark motivation/curiosity, is to see it in action. personally for me, that meant spending hours on desmos playing with different equations and comparing them side by side. the visual component really reeled me in
Can you explain it further?like how do you play with different equations?
Read the solved guide book. R.D Sharma has solved problems of different types. Understand how they came at the conclusion. Then try to solve questions
Thank you
I remember when I transferred from a local uni to one of the top uni’s in the country and this exact idea was the distinction between the two. When I was being asked conceptual questions I was dumbfounded since I was only taught how to do algorithms without even applying it to word problems until I transferred it was overwhelming.
Yes to much focus on student “plugging and chugging” numbers into formulas instead of understanding the process of the formula. Once one aspect of the formula changes them they are struggling to understand the way it works overall

YESSSSS EXACTLY! EXACTLY! NO INE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE! I THOUGHT I WAS A DUMBASS BUT NO! After I figured it out myself my literally READING maths textbooks and started reading equations my life has become sooo easy~~~so easy that I am doing physics in grad school which I have never ever dreamt even in my wildest dream😂
YOURE LYINGGGGG IM GONNA TRY THIS, what do you suggest for trig or calculus?
Physics just uses high school math. It's kind of shocking how uneducated kids are these days.
You sir just described my relationship with math, hated it thought I was bad at it all my life. Then suddenly took the time understood the story behind the formulas, what are they intended to do.. and voila I’m in love
I think there is just never enough time to adequately explain the material AND practice it in the class room. Nowadays especially people are either getting rid of homework or just not doing it. Which when learning equations practice is imperative. Teachers have to waste time going over practice problems in class, or just going over the steps repeatedly instead of actually teaching the concept and reason behind it. It was embarrassingly long after I learned Pyhtag Theorum that I realized squares were based off of actual squares. I was given 0 context for anything.
When you think maths while practicing it, is not neceseary do 197374 exercies to get it...
i agree with what you've said. Math is almost never thought in a way where people would even have a choice to choose from if they wanted to attend that class or where they want to stop chasing progression in math, espeically in highschool or unis.
It's easier for me to go back to school after dropping out of it because i know why im going back, and with better understanding and interest behind it all.
if you treat math like a language where you also need to practice it to retain it, you already know where and how and why you gonna use it and study it, nobody in school will force you to learn japanese, or german, or french, unless you are from those respective countries, and you can choose them as a side subject,you can't do that with math. and it's frustrating for those who do not want it and disrespectful to those who want to know more about it and advance faster.
I know exactly what you mean. I discovered math was much easier to learn and retain when I had to use it in chemistry and physics because the concepts had context. Versus in school you are just taught here’s an equation and here are the procedures to “solve”. Part of my job now requires taking apart software to understand how things work and to do it effectively you have to understand the ecosystem the software operates in. You don’t retain much if you just read manuals, you need to observe and programmatically interact with components to gain a deep understanding. What’s happening here is that making multiple connections with a piece of information through experimentation helps to “connect the dots” and absorb the information which is what I believe wasn’t happening in the majority of my math classes lol. Not that I didn’t do well, but I believe I could have had an easier time if it things weren’t so bland.
Could we have a whole video on this
Where you elaborate
It would be helpful as you've explained how to recall ideas in the most efficient way
But that doesn't quite work in maths as it's more dependant on how you grasp harder concepts of maths that aren't easily intuitive.
It would be great if you just illustrated whatever ideas you have briefly mentioned in larger video thanks.
In computer science course, mostly regarding algorithms but it was used for everything, we had this thing called "explaining the intuition". Basically the person knowing the solution would explain in a simple way how they figured it out and how and why it all works in an intuitive way. That way you don't need to have innate intuition to understand it and gain intuition and be able to apply it next time you need it. Imho if you find some math problems less intuitive, meaning you don't have some innate intuition for them, your teacher or book should be the ones responsible of making it intuitive enough that you can grasp it. It is a bit of an ideal more than reality though, I guess.
@@tymondabrowski12 yea it's always the struggle with maths as things get more complicated, how should we make the abstractions needed in different contexts to make it intuitive for our minds. So we apply the correct procedure to solve maths questions.
Its funny Maths doesn't necessarily require a high IQ, it more or less requires us to find the right approach after realising the context. Which always seems impossible for most of us trying to comprehend Maths.
My math skills improved significantly after I switched from attending school teachers maths class to coaching. Sometimes the problem is not you, it's the teacher.
Wildly helpful, thank you so much! I didn't understand why I struggled with math at some times and others didn't. It's the understanding of WHY I'm doing what I'm doing. Ie linear equations and graphing were annoying and I didn't understand the point until I started thinking of it like a map and doing forensic work to discover the location of something on the grid.
It's the difference between applied math and proof-based math. It depends on the need for different kind of skillsets in different areas.
should i send this to the friend who used to give me strange looks and 'who even reads thattt??'s when she saw me reading the conceptss of maths
It takes time
yess
Oh I see so like put it into context ?
Great video!
I know that when I started learning proof writing my skills with math increased a lot. When you have to sit down and prove the mathematics you use in calculations and would otherwise take for granted it makes it stick in your brain for a lot LONGER.
bro you are explaining to complex way ....thankgod i found a indian teacher to explain the same in easy way
Thank you man
Please it would be awesome if you made a whole video on math learning.
I don't know how to use the minimap for math 😢
Or any other techniques
Pleaseeeeeeeee.
Thank you so much
I remember failing a statistics exam 3 times in a row, in the 2nd module, they explained that a regression equation from the first module might be used to help a farmer desire how many cows and chickens to buy, and then I got an A in both exams.
Very true though..sometimes my sister says the same thing and DOES the same thing..shes so good at maths..i need a calculator and her? She can do thousand's and crore's calculations within 2 mintues just in her mind..and about solving problems she always gives me this advice cuz i am bad at maths... 😅😅
I am math teacher when I teach this way students love learning maths and give a great feedback but other teachers with old traditional teaching method keeps bullying my way of teaching.
My brain shut down when he started talking😵💫
who else wants guided study with me for numericals subjects
Understated...???
Complete this question
The sum of the age of one son and his mother is 60 year ,mothers age is 3 times of sons age . What are their ages
Their ages are probably below 100 years old and above 1 year😅
the subject known as math relies on procedural and conditional aspects (idk what it means)
• _in cheap language_ , learn the definitions and its importance, and gain a deep understanding of the concepts from there.
• utilise interleaved retrieval to master the procedural component
• teaching methods mightn't address some declarative aspects, so personal and practical effort is necessary to fill the void
• aim to approach a problem using concepts in the beginning almost intuitively, than trying to use formulas, which is cheap.
-> Prioritize understanding the concepts behind equations and formulas before memorizing procedures.
*By actually doing math
Edit:
Approaching it conceptually definitely is important. For calculus, realizing the significance of dx, dy or dtheta was big. dx means the change in x. For dy, dz or d anything, swap the out the x for whatever variable you’re solving for.
Integrating dx, you’re taking the area along the x axis from x0 to x1. Integrating dy, you’re taking the area from y0 to y1. Integrating with respect to theta, you’re taking the area from angle 1 to angle 2, so like a slice.
Of course there’s underlying theory you need to know prior to this is if you don’t know any calculus but this is something that really helped integrals click and understand how to set them up.
So true,
I’ve been saying this FOREVER…not articulated nearly as well
This is the issue. Exactly this is why so many math teachers fail.
So true
I have listened to so many math videos, that i am surprised that i understand this short although it sounds so un-understandable xD
😮😮😮the world has many genius people i don't know why i only count on my teacher when there is so many resources to help me but yohhhhh your English is englishing my brada 😂😂😂😂😂hai yohh
ok correct me if im wrong you mean that to under stand the therome of pythagoras is to under stand how to calculte the size of a wall
Yes!!
What heard from this video was that, a cat can eat a shark and the photosynthesis from a bird is venous to the end piece of a loaf of bread. Learnt a lot from this video
this dude is talking on a whole new level of math
The way you word this is like a math word problem that I'm failing at lol.
Can you give me an example? For example Taylors and Maclaurin's series, how can I understand the meaning of what is happening?
Well well well...
I have Adhd, and I always question why should I solve this problem?
Why do teachers give me this homework? Now, I love math even it is really hard for me and everyone else.
Pls can you drop the link to the complete video ?
Feyman said to teach using small, simple words.
Thank you
Hmm......
It's the thing which my maths teacher also said.
Ok sir. I have learned the definition 😂😂😂
I am actually best on math i have both skills and knowledge of math but not know how to succeed on math to tell to someone like you like talk now
I’m a math major and I don’t understand any of this 😶
So what you're saying is if I follow the medulla oblongata formula. I can then use the Flux capacitor to understand the deeper meaning of math?
Now i understood why i have maths phobia and failed in school college
No hay secreto, dice solo entender las fórmulas en palabras
Nice
That's why we have word problems in India or pk
I need to learn calculus to understand what he is saying
True
That’s exactly what my son thinks ..
What are some examples of maths prodigies teachinbon TH-cam?
Casually watching how to study math instead of actually studying it
isnt what this guy's video talking about? We should learn first how to tackle a problem before actually engaging on it. Like what we are doing. To effectively understand math we watched videos like this one on how to understand math. Kinda confusing but you get my point.
See the big pictures first
I have to point out in my opinion you cant learn anything without this. I am a an avid learner i buy courses to better my jobs. I went from a fabricator(metals) to machinist to supervising machinist to welder to welding trainer to team leader to shift supervisor to maintenance. technician to controls technician. In the course of 7 years with only a vocational school in high school.
I learn significantly faster than a lot of people due to this right here, what am i doing and why am i doing it. It becomes my motivation :)
Which book can I read to solve the problem
What about for sales?
Bruh I tried to do this in elementary school and my teachers didn't know or they tried and seemed like they felt tired and frustrated and rushed through a response that wasn't really making sense Dx
Math isn’t hard, physics and biology are the beasts
Sike, im rlly good un chimestry and physics and horrible in maths, dont even ask because i dont know how either.
lol for now I think biology is pretty easy since everything is connected and plays into each other
kind of struggling with math and physics especially
See I was always thrown the numbers first and it all just confused me.
Just do a lot of questions
thought bro was gonna have that voice ykwim
🤓🤓🤓🎉
Can someone summarise what hes saying In simpler terms
first my ahh is 8 grade doing algebra 1 ap and i got a midterm coming up next i didn't understand shit
I’m on the autism spectrum, and I can say I’m not a math genius.
I have problem on maths
What did he sayyyy .?
Do you help maths students in your course?
My worst part in maths is conceptual maths
Bruhh this turtorial need a turtorial...💀
mr justin, how about accounting
It’s easy
But i don't think these will help in solving jee advanced level math problems.
Exact thought I had, this is pretty good advice up until highschool. In Uni, you need to grasp and digest quickly because even if you understand how things work there isn't enough time in exam to essentially "work out" the solution.
i have some experience in higher math, and i think this advice goes well beyond JEE. It's not that JEE isn't hard but it's not *advanced*. In my experience learning math (especially, algebra, topology, etc.), having an intuitive, informal understanding of things is how you know you actually get it.
I don't agree. As the person above says, imho that's the key to be able to solve problems and to do it quickly enough. I've been on a uni course where 50% of everything was basically advanced math, and I don't think I'd get such high grades of I didn't understand what's going on and just tried to apply formulas.
Understanding is forever (well somewhat), but to remember it without understanding I'd have to specifically learn it and then I could still forget it when needed. Makes no sense to rely on your memory only. Also why would I ever learn anything by remembering equations without understanding? Isn't it pointless? Isn't it the exact reason you go to school, to learn useful things? If you don't understand it, how can it be useful? Also Isn't it boring? (I must admit I had trouble learning things I needed to know by heart - like theory for theoretical exams - when I understood them, so I wasn't, in my mind, learning anything new... but learning it to know by heart without understanding sounds even worse).
Ok but the last point he said is very accurate. Jee advanced questions is all about approach
Wth- it keeps cutting
Oh no
I can't understand what you are saying can you explain it with examples(can it be more clear)
your lights are very distracting, especially the purple
Shouldn't teachers be making it easier for us to succeed? No one has ever told me what y*x=m+c equals, so why am I learning something no ones ever taught me, I didn't even know that letters are numbers like what number is A or M? so confusing for my simple mind.
You should you get a new mic..... sir
I don't get anything u said ☠️😭
can he speak in english ?
Can you please stop referring to calculation as mathematics? What you should be saying here is that one should study mathematics in order to understand how to apply it in calculations. This is a none-trivial distinction. The misconception maths = calculation shouldn't be reproduced by educators.
Its similiar to stating that building a car is engaging is physics.
So my critique isnt that your message here isnt correct, but that it isnt correct enough.
I think he'e referring to the idea itself that math itself is 'taught ' as calculation where they just teach the rules without having a conceptual understanding of where the tools come and how to use them as a general fact and rule for a lot of the topics.... idk if that made sense 😭
where does he say calculation is mathematics?
he said calculus not calculation
couldve used easier words lol
