I must concede with what you've stated. Mathematics is another expression of life, an expression that quantifies phenomenon and events. Furthermore, Mathematics is also an explanation to the "nothing makes sense" kind of world all along =)
Ah yes, the good ol' days, when we learned that the natural numbers (excluding zero) form a semigroup under addition, and a monoid under multiplication. Good times.
Don’t worry, we all think that at times, but in reality it does love us all back; it’s just a tough love that will reward you at the end. You just got to put up with it till then. Just remember that even the smartest mathematicians can struggle at times; it’s all natural :)
I recall as a freshman our analysis prof said something like: "Many people believe math is hard... that's because it is." I thought that was more honest than the usual attempt to lull people with this fake soft crap. Ironically that guys lectures were some of the easiest to follow and most helpful I've ever attended...
Being good at math doesn´t mean you understand it. I am good at math and I uderstand what I work with, how does it works and why it happens, but I don´t undertand where it comes from. For example, I understand the Laplace Transform and the Nabla Operator but I simply can´t undertand what a genius it takes to develop these concepts from scratch, or how did euler come to e=2.71, or how did they come up with so much more abstract concepts. Even though this, I still love and enjoy doing math.

+xtheslipknotmaggotx Yes, I agree 100%.....it must've taken pure genius to have been the first one to have developed these concepts because each one of these unrecognized relationships required one to take a leap and think out of the box.
+xtheslipknotmaggotx Exactly! Being able to relate to mathematics and understand the origins of those, especially the logical steps and proofs, help people to unravel more aspects of the mundane world. Like the distribution of plants, probabilistic proximity and various algorithms, all these are mathematics beyond papers and graphs. For Euler, it's very fascinating as during that time, I don't think there are many people who really understands group theory. Nevertheless, e = 2.71 can be proved from the original definition and from geometries. What's more important, is Euler's Formula, e^(pi*i) = -1 . This can be formed from usual Trigo forms of Maclaurin's Series and then combine them to form e^(pi * i) = -1. Like the joke where people cracked, asking how many people are needed to fix the light, as a mathematician, you'll say e^(pi * i), which is equal to -1. From what I know, geniuses tend to observe and question the reality. Their minds are always searching for answers to imagined questions. Just like how some people came up with conjectures and then went on for lives to discover and sort out the proofs.

At age 28 I graduated Cal Poly with a degree in Ind Eng and had completed Differential Equations. As a Process Eng. at Weyerhaeuser Co. I tried to figure how to use calculus to determine the size of core that would produce the optimum number of studs from the veneer lathe. I solved the problem using descriptive geometry. I helped solve a bearing problem on the Boeing 737 wing using a cut away bearing model to explain along with a comparison to a problem solved on a fish cleaning machine in Alaska. As Chief Engineer for a manufacturer of wood processing machines, I converted steel fabrication techniques into servo controlled burners. The parts were drawn to scale and the thickness of the line was the kerf. As an inventor, I have designed wheels and tracks that make the ground better by driving on it. The mathematicians and engineers working for the corporations that I approach with my white papers evaluate based on software and they reject my ideas. I have created a data base by building and testing five prototypes. I qualified on the Boeing FCS Program (50 billion over 5 years ). It was cancelled in 2009 with no results.

What I enjoy about math is there is (generally) one good answer and you know when you have it. For physics, biology, or chemistry there is often a long developed answer where you're not even sure if you're right.
I love math, it's honestly my favorite subject, just ahead of bio and chem. I'm looking at MIT because it seems like a place where I'm a good distance from my family and a place where I'll be able to express myself and ultimately find things that I enjoy, maybe even drop some bad habits like procrastination. My family has honestly been holding me back from so many opportunities, being in a far right household while personally being an extreme leftist does that. I love them, but I hate their ideologies and actions. Two more years, and we'll see if I can make it.
@tsunaofficial6611 my health took a bad dip so i had to stay home and go to a community college nearby. I care less about the school (honestly it's probably better financially and the teachers are nice) and more about the fact that my mom practically worships the ground Trump walks on. I'm nonbinary AND attracted to the same sex, so my mom has ALSO been trying to get me to repent for my sins. It's... a lot. Since I'm being dragged across states with her, the current plan is to pretend whatever university i end up at is my dream college and beg to stay when my mom inevitably moves out of state after a few years (she's already planning for it and we haven't even moved yet). To sweeten the deal i am going to say fuck my health and try to get an internship or something behind her back so it's easier for me to guilt her with the idea of taking away my opportunities. All in all, could be better, could definitely be worse considering she hasn't kicked me out yet!

In Mathematics, you don’t just understand equations and concepts. You get use to them. -John Von Neumann Therefore, explains why practice exams are provided before each exam.
I completely agree, I used to really dislike mathematics. It was about 3 years ago that I decided to give it a try, after that day I was completely changed. I am now in year 9, seeing mathematics around me, and have been doing mathematics whenever I can, it inspires me and helps me understand the world around me. Already I am nearly halfway through a calculus excersize book, I can't wait to get a hands on experience in making/learning/ helping other people with maths. It is funny for me to think about it know, it all commenced with an understanding.
Some people are saying how the student was exaggerating about maths.. But what I think is that he is just a passionate lover of Mathematics & solely loves what he does
That is because I have heard(this is not in my experience by the way) that undergraduates are very idealistic, and then become more pragmatic, and some unfortunately go cynical.
One of the things that makes math difficult is that it is "build upon knowledge". Unlike other things like history, you have to understand algebra, if you want to even start with calculus.
Education system in India is much difficult than others, as we learn many such difficult topics in our Class XII,but our coaching industries for preparation of IIT is making us a robot, and thus I am also becoming slowly-slowly a robot.
I'm in 9th grade currently. MIT has been a dream of mine forever and I would love to take these courses when I'm older. I'm studying Basic Calculus right now so if/when I get in, I will be only a little behind.
I'm currently going into sophomore year in the most advanced and rigorous math course offered at my grade level (Algebra 2-Trig) and I remembered in 8th grade when I'd suck at math. I was doing Algebra 1 at the time and I'd get so flustered and frustrated as to why I wasn't getting the concepts as quickly as everybody else, and I would get pretty bad grades. However, part of that wasn't taking school seriously and I told myself to never give up as mathematics was always (and still is!) my favorite subject. I started doing better and as 9th grade came along, geometry was just another step forward. I struggled a bit in the beginning, but I grasped the concepts much easier and I ended the class with an A. To those who hate math or think they are terrible at it, Never EVER give up!
In my own philosophy of life. I strongly believe every machine such as cars, industrial robots and eletrical generators.. they are all moving numbers and mathematics.
Growing ( still am ) up math and science has/had been my fave subjects. Though, funny thing about it was how I'd always Excel in eLa and social studies instead. I mean, the lowest I got in math was a C, but that was back in 3rd grade. After that it was either a B or an A. Then later on mainly A's
I love math. I've succeeded in Algebra and I'm succeeding in Calculus. But math and science combined - I just can't do it. Especifically Physics. There is something wrong in my brain when I'm able to get an A in my AP Calculus test, but an F on my AP Physics 1 test. I don't get my life :(
Same for me. I never find it easy to learn physics, but I can follow any mathematical ideas only by listening to my lecturer. :) Easy A for Calculus but hard B for Physics
Beauty in mathematics lies in the freedom it gives you to believe only after you have used your deepest judgement. The conviction you feel then is surreal..
John had a pineapple. He decided to make a smoothie with AN APPLE SQUARED PLUS SQUARE ROOT OF NEGATIVE ONE PLUS A ROOT TWO PI MULTIPLIED BY E USING C IS 33 TO THE ORANGE CHICKEN OF 79. And then she used some kale.
actually people double major or get a minor in math because it's usually a class or two away from their major. i'm a computer science major and to get a minor in math, i'd have to just take Calc 3 on top of the required math for CS. engineers and science majors just think "might as well, it's just a few more courses". People who do start in math and go into engineering or science usually realize they need something to apply their math in order to be more marketable.

Everything have their own logics and elements , some are easy to grasp and some are complex. It depends that the teacher is good enough to make their student comprehend it and it depends that the student is conscious enough to grasp or not. Intelligence is about how healthy you are and how well do you deal with your own consciousness and discipline.
yeah, they need to teach us "peasants" or nicely put, "ordinary people," how to do some things in math so that we appreciate it, and it's fun to do number patterns. I love Vedic mathematics for example. I'm sorry I was a hater for a while. I had ego-problems. Plus, all they do is drill us in school.

Very true. People tend to find a lot of patterns relating things that at first seem to have no connection. That's how the brain works... not saying they're wrong, there is probably a lot of connection between everything that we just usually don't see.
Well Physics and Math do overlap a lot...
Dhiego Bersan well yeah, but even some chemist, biologist and geologist say so
Typically, the more abstract it is the truer it becomes. Mathematicians have the honor of being the most correct when it comes to this, lol
TheArnoldification yeah true. but then again, maths is humanity's product, not some thing out of nature right?

At age 28 I graduated Cal Poly with a degree in Ind Eng and had completed Differential Equations.
As a Process Eng. at Weyerhaeuser Co. I tried to figure how to use calculus to determine the size of core that would produce the optimum number of studs from the veneer lathe. I solved the problem using descriptive geometry.
I helped solve a bearing problem on the Boeing 737 wing using a cut away bearing model to explain along with a comparison to a problem solved on a fish cleaning machine in Alaska.
As Chief Engineer for a manufacturer of wood processing machines, I converted steel fabrication techniques into servo controlled burners. The parts were drawn to scale and the thickness of the line was the kerf.
As an inventor, I have designed wheels and tracks that make the ground better by driving on it. The mathematicians and engineers working for the corporations that I approach with my white papers evaluate based on software and they reject my ideas. I have created a data base by building and testing five prototypes.
I qualified on the Boeing FCS Program (50 billion over 5 years ). It was cancelled in 2009 with no results.
I believe our schools are creating virtual engineers who do not believe in learning by correcting mistakes.

I love math, it's honestly my favorite subject, just ahead of bio and chem. I'm looking at MIT because it seems like a place where I'm a good distance from my family and a place where I'll be able to express myself and ultimately find things that I enjoy, maybe even drop some bad habits like procrastination. My family has honestly been holding me back from so many opportunities, being in a far right household while personally being an extreme leftist does that. I love them, but I hate their ideologies and actions.
Two more years, and we'll see if I can make it.
Did u make it ?
Hey man, it's been 3 years. How it's going?
@tsunaofficial6611 my health took a bad dip so i had to stay home and go to a community college nearby. I care less about the school (honestly it's probably better financially and the teachers are nice) and more about the fact that my mom practically worships the ground Trump walks on. I'm nonbinary AND attracted to the same sex, so my mom has ALSO been trying to get me to repent for my sins. It's... a lot. Since I'm being dragged across states with her, the current plan is to pretend whatever university i end up at is my dream college and beg to stay when my mom inevitably moves out of state after a few years (she's already planning for it and we haven't even moved yet). To sweeten the deal i am going to say fuck my health and try to get an internship or something behind her back so it's easier for me to guilt her with the idea of taking away my opportunities. All in all, could be better, could definitely be worse considering she hasn't kicked me out yet!

Even I am not that good in Maths…but totally agree…🎉
I completely agree, I used to really dislike mathematics. It was about 3 years ago that I decided to give it a try, after that day I was completely changed. I am now in year 9, seeing mathematics around me, and have been doing mathematics whenever I can, it inspires me and helps me understand the world around me. Already I am nearly halfway through a calculus excersize book, I can't wait to get a hands on experience in making/learning/ helping other people with maths. It is funny for me to think about it know, it all commenced with an understanding.
Some people are saying how the student was exaggerating about maths.. But what I think is that he is just a passionate lover of Mathematics & solely loves what he does
That undergraduate nerd is over exaggerating
@Kick Jowkowski Where is the link?

That is because I have heard(this is not in my experience by the way) that undergraduates are very idealistic, and then become more pragmatic, and some unfortunately go cynical.
@@robertmorrison1657 well said!
One of the things that makes math difficult is that it is "build upon knowledge". Unlike other things like history, you have to understand algebra, if you want to even start with calculus.

I'm not good at maths but i still like it because when i am not able to solve a problem i became curious that how this will be solved
I'm currently going into sophomore year in the most advanced and rigorous math course offered at my grade level (Algebra 2-Trig) and I remembered in 8th grade when I'd suck at math. I was doing Algebra 1 at the time and I'd get so flustered and frustrated as to why I wasn't getting the concepts as quickly as everybody else, and I would get pretty bad grades. However, part of that wasn't taking school seriously and I told myself to never give up as mathematics was always (and still is!) my favorite subject. I started doing better and as 9th grade came along, geometry was just another step forward. I struggled a bit in the beginning, but I grasped the concepts much easier and I ended the class with an A. To those who hate math or think they are terrible at it, Never EVER give up!
Mathematics is the inner self consciousness which favours developing good rational thinking while making decisions.
In my own philosophy of life. I strongly believe every machine such as cars, industrial robots and eletrical generators.. they are all moving numbers and mathematics.
Growing ( still am ) up math and science has/had been my fave subjects. Though, funny thing about it was how I'd always Excel in eLa and social studies instead. I mean, the lowest I got in math was a C, but that was back in 3rd grade. After that it was either a B or an A. Then later on mainly A's
I love math. I've succeeded in Algebra and I'm succeeding in Calculus. But math and science combined - I just can't do it. Especifically Physics. There is something wrong in my brain when I'm able to get an A in my AP Calculus test, but an F on my AP Physics 1 test. I don't get my life :(

Easy A for Calculus but hard B for Physics

Beauty in mathematics lies in the freedom it gives you to believe only after you have used your deepest judgement.

actually people double major or get a minor in math because it's usually a class or two away from their major. i'm a computer science major and to get a minor in math, i'd have to just take Calc 3 on top of the required math for CS.
engineers and science majors just think "might as well, it's just a few more courses".
People who do start in math and go into engineering or science usually realize they need something to apply their math in order to be more marketable.
many people don't like math because it takes a lot of efforts and courage to understand.

This is nonsense.
Everything have their own logics and elements , some are easy to grasp and some are complex. It depends that the teacher is good enough to make their student comprehend it and it depends that the student is conscious enough to grasp or not. Intelligence is about how healthy you are and how well do you deal with your own consciousness and discipline.
