    If only we would allow our children and grandchildren to learn the beauty and power of maths instead of telling them that we could not understand it because the idea of being unable to understand maths had been passed down to us by our family and friends for generations.

      😂 this might sound funny but I took majors because people says it's tough and things like that...... I started liking math once I was introduced to trigonometry in my 9th standard
      Im doing my bachelors and I am finding lots of difficulties. I now why people say its tought 😂 Well it sure is!
      There's no regret in choosing math as my major!
      It's sure is challenging
      I'm here to looking at this video to find some inspiration to study.

      Saying this as a 15 year old who’s now a fan of maths which is a “nerdy” thing to say nowadays,what I have to say is that it’s the school fault for not showing us students the power of mathematics and it’s applications,now I’m glad that I was wondering and interested.

  • @ErojFeeding

    Bertrand Russell expressed his sense of mathematical beauty in these words:
    Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry.

    I used to hate math in my childhood because in school we were taught mathematics in very boring and useless way and because of that I hated math.
    But I realized after sometime that it has an inner observation to overlook but even tutors of mathematics don't appreciate nor understand the beauty in it . I'm still very bad at I can't even perform minor calculation like long division and multiplication
    But mathematics have my love and honor

    This is by far the best professor I've had during my college time. He sits down with me and works through all my homework with me until I actually understand what the questions are asking. Some of the most motivational pep talks I've had have come from Dr. tav; he genuinely makes me feel like I'm not a failure in college.

    Per quarter: curve=Velocity+acceleration gain. Vt+½vt=1½vt= 1½ S.

    So Π = 3.
    Hard to prove manually (due to human error etc) but by calculation it is absolutely right.

      Doesn’t nursing involve a lot of biology? It’s an applied field, and honestly one of the best degrees you can take imo. If you wanted to pursue further studies, you could. There’s nothing that restricts you from going further into science with a nursing degree. If you brought yourself up with a few qualifications/projects/internships/classes for another specialization, you could pursue graduate studies in that region.

      I know, and it's sad :'( no one will ever understand that doesn't understand already Paul Erdős, a famous 1900s mathematician, expressed his views on the ineffability of mathematics when he said, "Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is".

Is it your sense that mathematicians and practitioners are not made, but born?

      I agree with you. It was pretty easy for me to understand his speech, since I'm a physicist, but it would definitely sound like he's speaking greek or russian if I had little to no understanding in mathematics. That's a shame, this man shouldn't be talking like that, assuming he is aware most of the audience knows little about mathematics.
