I Love that they provide context to the topic. This was always so frustrating to me in my youth, not knowing the origin or motivation behind what we are learning, making it lack true value to myself and others. With context, it also broadens my mind to the thought pattern of the topic and allows me to consider what other topics might relate and be of benefit or of interest so I can "connect the dots" so to speak.
Exactly. I love their approach and what they stand for! Science in a curious and visual way that requires interacting with the material to actually get past the superficial layers of understanding!
Brilliant is really great for self learning. I been on it for like few months now. I think the biggest benefit to me is they make everything easy to understand
I attended a STEM School grades K-8 prior too secondary school + university. I never considered myself as good at science as mathematics until working in finance and realizing that curiosity and intelligence are fluid amongst topics in life and after developing a passion and significant knowledge in data science, quantitative analysis and pharmaceuticals I promise anyone reading this can become an expert on any STEM field if they develop a passion and respect for the information ! Great Video Mario
Coming across so many different people on their quests for knowledge but also seeing them take a second of their time to question what is the best way to share that knowledge along the way with others is so awe inspiring. Keep up the great work!
Nice video! Ultimately, when people search for a review, they are interested in personal experiences, a perspective from a person just like them. I am not a student anymore (I am old and, well, not going to school/university) but I was really curious to know how a student would feel about Brilliant. Hey, good luck in your studies! And cheers from Madrid.
@@MarioFabelo If you make a useful/interesting video (and by useful and interesting we should be very open minded) AND you provide a "searcheable" Title / Description, good chances TH-cam will work well and offer your video to people searching for that "thing". Brilliant is advertising their subscription a lot - people are interested in discovering if it is worth the money - they are finding your video :)
I truly think that it’s all about mindset and practice! If you are encouraged and motivated and you put the work in, you’ll get very far! Brilliant is great in guiding and incentivising learning so I hope you find it useful! : )
@@Stefalv Hi, Yes, I finished all the courses that brilliant offers, but to be fair, I understood maybe 60 %. I know learn on khan academy, TH-cam and read books. Overall a good resource to boost the interest.
Hey, compañero, muchas gracias por el vídeo. Pese a que soy doctor en física y me dedico activamente a la investigación, la verdad es que siempre me ha llamado la atención Brilliant. Tu explicación ha sido de 10, así que te lo agradezco. Te deseo la mejor de las suertes en tu futuro académico y laboral (¡y personal, por supuesto!). Un abrazo :)
Hey, ¡muchas gracias por tu comentario! Mi objetivo es estudiar física en la universidad el año que viene (en Irlanda o España). He visto que tienes un vídeo sobre mecánica analítica de Lagrange. Suena muy hardcore 😅
@@MarioFabelo la física es preciosa, soy un enamorado de ella. Puedo decir sin ambages que disfruté todas y cada una de las asignaturas de la carrera. Al final, la carrera es solo un lugar desde el que se te muestran diferentes caminos que puedes seguir una vez alcances el graduado. También estoy agradecido por todas las mates que tuve que estudiar. Me gustan mucho, mucho las mates. El análisis complejo es top. Ya verás cuando estudies las integrales de Cauchy y el cálculo de residuos y las superficies de Riemann, te va a explotar la cabeza, jaja. Las ecuaciones diferenciales son preciosas, y los métodos numéricos para resolverlas son algo súper útil. Bueno, no sé, me podría poner a hablar de cada cosa de la carrera porque todo me gustó. También soy un enamorado de la historia de la ciencia. En este vídeo tuyo comentas sobre el trasfondo que da Brilliant a este respecto, y eso me atrajo. Mucho ánimo con ella en tanto que entres. Por lo que he visto en tu canal de youtube vas preparado de sobra. Seguro que la aprovechas bien. Irlanda está muy guay (¿tienes familia allá?, lo digo porque tu acento es muy bueno), estuve una temporada viviendo en Dublin y fue una gran experiencia. Me recordaba a mi tierra, pues soy gallego. España, para física, también es un buen lugar. Nos meten bastante caña. Otra historia es a la hora de desarrollar la profesión, discusión para otro momento. Al respecto del vídeo mío... la mecánica analítica fue abrir una caja de pandora. Increíble. Como si de repente te diesen una llave secreta que nunca hubieses imaginado. Si no recuerdo mal, en mi grado era una asignatura de segundo. Pasas de trabajar con fuerzas y vectores a energías y escalares. Una pa-sada. Ojiplático me quedé, jaja. Si quieres echar una ojeada, puedes buscar por mecánica analítica, o lagrangianas o hamiltonianas. Se necesita un poquito de conocimiento sobre ecuaciones integrodiferenciales e invariantes. Al final es un tipo de formulación que va mucho más allá del sistema de vectores de fuerza y tensiones y poleas al que nos acostumbran en la secundaria y batch. Por otro lado, lo entiendo. Se necesita desarrollar un poco la armamentística matemática. En serio, mucha suerte con el camino que escojas. Estar motivado es fundamental, porque no es de rosas; y te veo muy motivado :)
@@YassFuentes No, no tengo familia en Irlanda. Voy a un colegio británico en Madrid y tras el Brexit para irse fuera solo me quedan como opciones Irlanda y Holanda. Por nivel de ciencias he solicitado a las 2 mejores de Dublin (Trinity y University College). En el sistema inglés internacional tenemos la opción de tener la asignatura de Further Maths y gracias a eso los pocos que la pillamos tenemos un nivel bastante superior al de 2ndo de Bachillerato. Tengo un vídeo sobre esa asignatura ya que tiene bastante fama. Tenemos un libro de 700 páginas y damos desde ecuaciones diferenciales de 1er y 2ndo grado hasta números complejos y equilibrio de cuerpo rígido entre otras cosas. De hecho tengo los exámenes de preparación esta semana y estoy estudiando a muerte. Hemos hablado con exalumnos que han terminado física e ingeniería y nos han dicho que hay cosas que damos que no llegan a dar en sus respectivas carreras 😅
@@MarioFabelo oh, fenomenal. A mí esas dos unis me parecen súper chulas. Recuerdo haber visto el Libro de Kells en el Trinity. Precioso. Caramba, pues si ya salís con EDOS de segundo orden qué bueno. Al final en física se hace mucha resolución de segundo orden y acopladas. Sabiendo eso tienes prácticamente el camino hecho a lagrangianas y hamiltonianas. Me alegra saber que se imparte esto antes de la uni, y que toquéis algo de sólido rígido también. Según mi opinión, no es una matemática tan extrema, aunque entiendo que hay mucho, mucho temario general y que por algún lado se debe recortar. No encontrarás en mí un chovinista STEM (durante el doc me puse a hacer filología hispánica, y durante la carrera intenté ponerme con periodismo jaja). Considero las humanidades como algo fundamental y que, en una sociedad tan orientada a la producción, están siendo desplazadas, cosa que me apena. Al respecto de que estudiéis cosas que puedan no impartirse en algunas carreras... es lo que te dije antes: a mi entender los grados son solo una introducción. En ellos se te dibujan las puertas principales de un área del conocimiento, que no todas, por si luego quisieras recorrerlas más profundamente; también existe la libertad de cátedra. Eso sí, ¡que todo conocimiento sea bienvenido! Bueno, he reducido a la mitad mi comentario porque me estaba quedando muy extenso y sé que tengo una verborragia considerable, jjaja. Muchísima suerte con esos exámenes, para los que no me cabe duda de que saldrás victorioso :)
@@YassFuentes Yo también estuve por el Book of Kells en octubre. ¡Además de visitar Trinity también conseguí que un chico que había encontrado por Instagram me colara en UCD y me diese un tour! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por darme a conocer vocabulario que dejaría mi profesora de Lengua Castellana y Literatura emocionada! ¡Me apunto chovinismo y verborragia! 😄
I won't be subscribing to brilliant anytime soon but its definitely one of the options to do whenever I'll have the budget for it. Thanks for this and I can't wait to hear a year update.
@@MarioFabelo Haha I could never be that patient - as soon as I have an idea I have to make it ASAP 😂 What made you decide to keep this idea for so long?
@@Sam.Kramer Well, it wasn’t an act of patience it was more of “I don’t have the resources and time to do it”. I then thought to leave it for holidays. In the winter holidays I worked on a Skillshare course so I then postponed it to the summer 😂
If you can afford it financially I think it's really worth it, it's expensive yes but it's quite easy to get 20% off trough a youtuber collaberation. The quality is high so i don't mind paying a bit extra. If you compare it too for exemple duolingo, it's much better at teaching you things
That is exactly what I think! If it is expensive it is only because of the high quality of the courses and the science professionals involved in creating them! I personally have a 20% discount myself: brilliant.org/MarioFabelo2/
Wow, your comment hit me deep. I still don’t know what I’ll study. I’m between Applied & Computational Mathematics or Physics with Astronomy and Space Science. I’ll share the decision in here so yeah!
A few more people have requested me to do the follow up! I actually was going to do one but the video didn’t end up materialising. It’s on the list for sure tho!
Do you think brilliant is good to fill knowledge gaps of fundamentals of maths and physics and thus improve your performance at school? Great video btw
Yeah, for sure! That’s actually how I would define my ideal use of it. It helps seeing the content from another, more practical, perspective. Thank you for watching! 😄
am I the only one who sees a delay between audio and video? why is no one pointing this out? EDIT: nvm, it was just my potato struggling to play a 480p video
Hey, I'm not sure about this. I have now watched it again after you commented and I don’t feel like the audio is badly synced with the video. Sorry for that if so!
@@MarioFabelo yeah, just rewatched it from my phone and it seems it was just my potato pc struggling to play a 480p video lol. Sorry for the inconvenience, the error was on my part.
I'm currently studying for the A level exams and I'm looking for more resources. I know that Brilliant will encourage me to study further on but unfortunately, I don't have much time left and I still have a lot to learn. Is Brilliant useful for my a levels?
Then you're in the same situation as me. Well, it depends on many different factors. First, do you study A Level Maths only or do you also study Further Maths? Would you find helpful having access to good examples/explanations of the concepts? There's also the practice section, which I think is now only available to Premium, which has a handful of exercises of different knowledge levels with step-by-step thought-process and solutions. I'm actually going to work on the Logarithmic inequalities one today!
@@MarioFabelo I'm studying A level Maths, Physics and Computer Science. If you have experience on any of these courses can you recommend which course to learn on Brilliant?
@@tunglamnguyen8728 Okay. Then I think it could definitely be worthwhile to you. Brilliant is mainly made for Mathematics but it also has some decent physics that are part of the syllabus of A Level. As I told you before, the Practice section might be the most time-effective for you. It has lots of "quizzes" with loads of questions that are very similar to those in A Level. Most of your A Level Maths topics will be present (letting you go a bit further to improve even more). For Physics it's more of the same: you've got all Mechanics, Magnetism & Electricity covered. I'm not sure about how it might help you in Computer Science as I'm not aware of the syllabus. Check whether you are able to access the Practice section for free or if you need the subscription. In case you do need it, I think it will be totally worth it!
@@tunglamnguyen8728 If you want to do some courses, I currently only had time to seriously try the Astrophysics one! The first part teaches you the A Level Cosmology stuff in a very interesting way (Hertzsprung-Russell Diagrams, parsec and common calculations). The math ones are really promising though. Differential Equations seems like a very useful one. Same with the ones on Calculus. Complex numbers has an overview of algebra that leads to complex and it sticks quite well with the syllabus of Maths and has some Further Maths bits like Polar Coordinates. Basically, any stuff you want to revise/learn you have a specific section within a course about it. And you can complement it with the Practice section to get into it more deeply!
how is brilliant expensive exactly? 10 bucks a month??? really?? Do you know how many thousands of dollars people waste on private lessons and student loans on pointless degrees? 100 bucks a year is pocket change my guy....
To be honest you are right. But in this society those things are more acceptable and are thought of as safer bets. Always invest in learning and education. It's never a bad choice unless it makes you go into debt!
The Astrophysics Course is currently not in the platform as they are updating courses and upgrading the quality of the content on the platform. However, the Math course I mentioned should be present I think 🤔 I also really recommend the Data Science and the CS courses!!
Do you still use it? If so, do you think your view of Brilliant has changed? And I would like to know if possible what you would consider the level of knowledge that they provide, for example, do they reach to complex theoritical concepts or it provides mostly about the basic formulas and principles? Also, do they have courses about Quantum Physics and Chemistry?
I do! So basically this semester I have Vector Calculus. It’s a pretty tough subject but I saw that they had a course of Vector Calculus on Brilliant with quite a lot of classes. So to this day I have done the first classes on that course because I had trouble understanding parametrisations and the intuition behind the curl and the divergence. I’ve been quite disastrous with time and now I’m cramming for the exam in one week and a half. So right now I’m not focusing on Brilliant and I’m using Khan Academy instead as they are videos (easier for me to consume) and they are more oriented towards exam questions. However, I think that Brilliant is truly great and for me it is a really powerful tool to use throughout the term to understand the content really before focusing on exam practice. I don’t think they yet have a course on Quantum Physics but they’ll probably have one soon as they are adding lots of courses these days. Brilliant is by no means basic. It is actually quite difficult as it truly makes you think about the problem solving behind a concept. Not just use the formula. Most classes are about an example fictional situation that they use to end up deriving the theorem. If you can afford Brilliant, then I think that it is a solid product. Not as much for exam technique and practice but more about having a greater understanding and flexibility of problem solving. Hope that helps : )
They are retiring a few courses and they retired the Astrophysics one for some reason. I do believe that they will bring it back either refurbished or with completely new lessons that are more interactive! I still really liked that course so I feel you 😢 They also took down the Practice Section a few years ago. They now use it as a Wiki I think but there is less practice. It’s more like an article for certain concepts and a few practice exercises. They should definitely bring it back
Muy buen video hermano. Quiero seguir aprendiendo más sobre cómo funciona este mundo y pues espero que Brilliant me ayude a satisfacer mis curiosidad. Animo.
If you try to self-learn a topic, for example following TH-cam or published student papers, and forums, you are really exposed to enless amounts of errors...I've seen many youtubers for beam theory and mechanics who really to gross errors, but in a very convincing way!
I think no one has mentioned this really important point on the comments! Exactly! That’s why places like Brilliant have a distinct value as they have many people doing quality control. Quality education is about “docere delectare”, making teaching fun, and also giving a high guarantee that the information is accurate and reliable!
How funny, this vid will hit 100K before Mario's channel even has 3K subs... Seems like you should be promoting more about your "you'll also want to see" content in each video to grab those potential subs, because your presented information has already proved its popularity.
When I filmed this video I thought it wouldn’t go anywhere. It really underperformed during the first few days after I uploaded it. So the last thing I thought was that this video would be my most viewed video by far. It’s crazy to be honest. Almost 2 years later this video (which now feels a bit crappy in terms of aesthetic and production) has given my channel a huge drive and has made me realise that any video can turn out to have a significant impact on me and people around the world!
I am actually in the process of making a video about Brilliant’s course on Python! I have already completed half the course and it is a great and smooth start so far for a beginner like me! It introduces Python through the use of the Turtle Library so that coding is more visual since the start! I did the Computer Science Fundamentals course and now doing the Python one. I will let you know when that video is uploaded but I definitely think that it will help you as it is helping me personally! And with the same subscription you can do all the courses in the platform!
Thanks, but lav mics are made to be place on your shirt and not to be held like that, they will capture your voice because they're omni directional, any ways that's just my opinion, good video.
Thank you! You’re in part right! I filmed this more than 2 years ago now though. The rode Lavalier mic does sound way better the closest it is to the subject. I had some throat pain while talking around that time so I thought I would get it closer so that the quality would be better and I wouldn’t need to raise my voice : ) This was ages ago though, I’ve uploaded 50 more videos after that and I’m way more knowledgeable about audio now!
@@MarioFabelo No problem man, the message came across just fine, and you can use your mic any way you want, I just see people using these mics as a reporter mic and it's kind of funny but anyways. Just my opinion. Take care.
They do have Contest Math I and Contest Math II as part of their courses! They are at the level of the AMC 10 and 12 of the Mathematical Association of America : )
@@Ender236 There are many courses about the fundamentals! You should be able to find the so called “Learning Paths” that include the courses in the order in which they should be completed (from beginner to experienced)
Hi, can you please upload a video with the 1 year experience? I'm really curious to find out your review after 1 year since you're probably not biased as others.
Hi Carlos, thank you for watching! I am still using Brilliant but as this is my last school year I am very focused on my A Level exams so I honestly do not use it consistently as I don’t have much free time and I prioritize learning theory and doing practice questions. I use Brilliant for learning for fun or for having a different type of explanation about the same concept. I truly find it a very engaging and effective resource to learn about science!
Hello ! Thats super interesting but you mainly speak from a STEM student PoV (which makes sense). On the other hand, im a man working daily and Khan is not only time consuming but also lacks providing me problems. I want to learn maths to learn physics in détail and i feel like Brilliant is helping me doing that (currently finishing foundational maths course list). My question to the STEM student you are would be : Do you think Brilliant could honestly make a standalone ressource for someone like me who will be willing to go deeper into physics but just wants to build a maths foundations to tackle real physics ? Its really hard as a non-STEM student to find some honest opinions on Brilliant since each short and or reddit thread seems like it attracts a LOT of hate from this community. Thanks a lot for your content and a great day i hope :)
Khan academy is great but they are more like TH-cam videos (they actually are) than actual foundational education. I feel like Brilliant is quite concise and unlike any other platform. They don’t just “do the problems”, they explain you the context, the reasoning and make you question yourself whether it actually makes sense to you and then they give you some problems and offer really good explanations and a very cool interface! I think there’s no such stand-alone thing for learning in STEM. Having said that I think that a good combination of books and Brilliant can offer a more diverse view and perspective and, hence, help at learning. For example, you could get the Theoretical Minimum Books by Leonard Susskind. These are very small books on specific topics of physics that go along with the TH-cam lectures and they were aimed at mature students or people that wanted to learn physics as a side hobby! And doing the relevant content on Brilliant will always help along! Maybe it is better to start just with Brilliant and then once there’s some intuition and basic knowledge you can read books like those from Leonard Susskind or the Feynman Lectures (also on TH-cam). I personally find text-books overwhelming and a bit boring sometimes. I suppose some people hate Brilliant because it’s expensive and not the most accessible. However, I think it offers so much that the price is quite justified. I would prefer it to be expensive and offer a lot than to be cheap and not offer much value. Thank you for watching and do let me know any other questions!!
@@MarioFabelo I totally agree and thanks a lot for this detailed and meaningful answer ! For the Susskind and Feynman lectures, since I guess you know Brilliant quite well, what would be the point I could dive in those ? Like do i need to clear all the maths content up to differential equations or is there a threshold earlier where i can dive in ? Im currently doing the foundational part and i cleared solving equation/graphs/measurements courses, im currently studying vectors still on Brilliant. And moreover, while studying Feynman or Susskind, I guess I will need to keep working on my maths skills and that Brilliant will end being not enough for maths too ? Again, thanks
@@heta04 Brilliant has courses of different levels which follow an order of difficulty. include different topics inside. They have recently introduced the so-called "Learning Paths". There is one for Foundational Math which will definitely help as physics is ultimately using math for solving a problem observed in nature! You don’t even need differential equations to start with the Feynman or Susskind lectures. They're both meant for people in their first year of college/university. The maximum you need to know is basic integration and the rest should all be built almost from scratch. I just saw they released a course on Vectors! That's really cool! Vectors are generally simple but for some reason, they are sometimes confusing. You can access all the Feynman lectures for free on the official website and I think they have problems as you go! I would use Brilliant as a side tool for those moments where you get to a topic that you don’t really understand and you want another perspective to hopefully understand a bit more. If what you ask is whether Brilliant teaches advanced maths, I think it goes pretty far, probably almost to the level of a whole undergraduate degree in Physics. You can find a lot of linear algebra, Fourier analysis and differential equations.
@@MarioFabelo that's great so I can confidently pair a solid physics ressource with brilliant to backup for maths alone. That's quite the perfect scenario thanks a lot. That may seem ridiculous but as I said I come from law so I didn't study maths for 15 years now and I had a bit of trouble to understand how to calculate a graph slope and quadratic function with y = ax^2 + bx + c but yeah I will come back to it ig it's super important lol. Anyway, thanks
@@heta04 science, more than any field, it’s just about getting familiarised with stuff and things start to become natural at some point!! Do let me know how you get on with it! I really admire that confidence and curiosity to study science coming from another academic field!! So cool! Let me know any other thing I may be able to help you with! 👊🏻😃
Brilliant are ripping people off. Use a VPN and put down a Bangladesh address to make a purchase because Brilliant only charges the equivalent of 35 usd for a yearly subscription to Bangladesh customers instead of nearly 10 times that amount to customers in European and other countries. 😞
Not really, James. The platform is a good resource for going over specific topics and practising. However, they do not follow any specific curriculum. It may help you on the side but it is by no means required; not even for A Level for which there are only a few topics that are similar to the level covered by the syllabus. Hope that helps : )
Oh, did you mean “A” grade? In the title I wrote “A-Level” as that is what the British university entry exams are called, not because of any grades of mine. Hope that makes sense
@@howmathematicianscreatemat9226 Much more and easy learning with explaination. Cost is still cheap compared to college. But expected to be perfect more than this because it is still in kidsmode if you are already advanced professional.
@@freezee7547 i just checked and discovered that they even offer partial differential equations. But I agree that compared to what we teach in pure maths in university, the level is rather low. They really seem to want the average student to be able to profit which means it must not be too proof demanding.
Hope it helps you in gaining motivation and comprehension about your subjects! There’s no such thing as a “dumbass” in STEM. There’s just people that don’t get to have a solid science foundation due to various circumstances that are not on the student
I have a question about the annual subscription please If the annual subscription is 120$ Do I pay it all at once or I pay 10$ every month ? If its 10$ a month, should I have 120$ in my credit or its OK to have less than that ?
40 Dollars for 3 months learning tons of stuff is expensive for you? Paying a teacher costs you at least 15 dollars per hour. Here you get 3 months instead of 3 hours. I don't like how you eVALUEate.
Hi Samir, for being a monthly subscription it involves a decently high price compared to other well-known subscriptions like Netflix that are about 10$ per month. However, as you say, for being such a complete education platform it is not particularly expensive. I completely agree with you on that aspect. But you also have to agree with me on the fact that for some people to pay a minimum of 40$ to access the platform may be a bit expensive. I still think investing in education is always good!
@@MarioFabelo Netflix is about consuming content for joy, relaxation or excitement, all in all for hedonistic motives, which everybody pursues as experiencing joy is a psychological human motive. Netflix profits from the industry as a whole. Movie productions, series productions, Netflix is just the platform for people who seek to consume these contents. If they don't pay Netflix they pay some other platform. Here you are talking about education. Stuff that brings you further on your studying, in your business. How many interactive learning based platforms are there to compare? How is their pricing? I for example value education higher than entertainment. And if a platform accomplishes to combine learning with fun, that's something many people would pay even 50 Dollars or 100 Dollars per month. I understand that YOU measure it to be expensive, but a review about a product should try to use objective parameters to judge something rather than just concluding on personal preference.
definitely interested in what you are thinking about brilliant after using it for a longer time -- what courses you tried / what you thought of them. I'm considering subscribing to it myself. (Just subscribed to your channel). Cheers
Now working in the Python course on Brilliant. Video about my experience with it will go out in about 2 weeks. Definitely recommend you to try Brilliant Premium for a year. I was recently made an Affiliate for Brilliant thanks to this video and I have a link for 20% off the premium subscription: brilliant.org/MarioFabelo2/
I wish the school system could produce more kids with high EQs - we already have too many people with high IQs but little EQ. You can immediately tell who has zero EQ in the workplace LOL
"A-Level Student"?? Wow I guess so must be something special. This also means you will be very successful in real life as well and it makes you think you are among elites huh? Let's see how your life turns out as you get out of your parent's house and go into the real world.
As the content that I went through in this video are from courses of the Brilliant subscription, I can’t show any of the material on TH-cam without getting into serious trouble. Hope you understand : )
Is not worth it, you only pay for nice graphics - the knowledge is at high-school level, and there are a plenty of mistakes. Once reported they are corrected, but still I have a sense that it was made by young people who only visualized their school books.

Just friendly feedback with all respect: I need a more comprehensive review rather than a little explanation of your experience. Brilliant might be good, but you couldn't convince me that it is "indeed good." Instead, I'd like to see a video while you are using it to learn a topic and show us your natural 'bam!' moments when you indeed learn something with Brilliants brilliantly teaching that most of us can relate to your experience. PS: Hence the video is well crafted; zooming while complimenting how good it is not good enough for me.
I Love that they provide context to the topic.
This was always so frustrating to me in my youth, not knowing the origin or motivation behind what we are learning, making it lack true value to myself and others.
With context, it also broadens my mind to the thought pattern of the topic and allows me to consider what other topics might relate and be of benefit or of interest so I can "connect the dots" so to speak.
Exactly. I love their approach and what they stand for! Science in a curious and visual way that requires interacting with the material to actually get past the superficial layers of understanding!

Me too. Finance made me love stem. I used to gulp physics down but now i basically love stem. A passion and pursuit is what general population lack.
I wonder what difference between "not sponsored but doing this to get sponsored"?

@@MarioFabelo If you make a useful/interesting video (and by useful and interesting we should be very open minded) AND you provide a "searcheable" Title / Description, good chances TH-cam will work well and offer your video to people searching for that "thing".

Mario, Yes, I agree with all the points made here by a fellow old chum. Great work! And you’re a humble honest person too that I can see
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have never been good in STEM, so maybe brilliant will be ideal for me :)
I truly think that it’s all about mindset and practice! If you are encouraged and motivated and you put the work in, you’ll get very far! Brilliant is great in guiding and incentivising learning so I hope you find it useful! : )

Mucho ánimo con ella en tanto que entres. Por lo que he visto en tu canal de youtube vas preparado de sobra. Seguro que la aprovechas bien. Irlanda está muy guay (¿tienes familia allá?, lo digo porque tu acento es muy bueno), estuve una temporada viviendo en Dublin y fue una gran experiencia. Me recordaba a mi tierra, pues soy gallego. España, para física, también es un buen lugar. Nos meten bastante caña. Otra historia es a la hora de desarrollar la profesión, discusión para otro momento.
Al respecto del vídeo mío... la mecánica analítica fue abrir una caja de pandora. Increíble. Como si de repente te diesen una llave secreta que nunca hubieses imaginado. Si no recuerdo mal, en mi grado era una asignatura de segundo. Pasas de trabajar con fuerzas y vectores a energías y escalares. Una pa-sada. Ojiplático me quedé, jaja. Si quieres echar una ojeada, puedes buscar por mecánica analítica, o lagrangianas o hamiltonianas. Se necesita un poquito de conocimiento sobre ecuaciones integrodiferenciales e invariantes. Al final es un tipo de formulación que va mucho más allá del sistema de vectores de fuerza y tensiones y poleas al que nos acostumbran en la secundaria y batch. Por otro lado, lo entiendo. Se necesita desarrollar un poco la armamentística matemática.
En serio, mucha suerte con el camino que escojas. Estar motivado es fundamental, porque no es de rosas; y te veo muy motivado :)
@@YassFuentes No, no tengo familia en Irlanda. Voy a un colegio británico en Madrid y tras el Brexit para irse fuera solo me quedan como opciones Irlanda y Holanda. Por nivel de ciencias he solicitado a las 2 mejores de Dublin (Trinity y University College).
En el sistema inglés internacional tenemos la opción de tener la asignatura de Further Maths y gracias a eso los pocos que la pillamos tenemos un nivel bastante superior al de 2ndo de Bachillerato.
Tengo un vídeo sobre esa asignatura ya que tiene bastante fama. Tenemos un libro de 700 páginas y damos desde ecuaciones diferenciales de 1er y 2ndo grado hasta números complejos y equilibrio de cuerpo rígido entre otras cosas.
De hecho tengo los exámenes de preparación esta semana y estoy estudiando a muerte. Hemos hablado con exalumnos que han terminado física e ingeniería y nos han dicho que hay cosas que damos que no llegan a dar en sus respectivas carreras 😅
@@MarioFabelo oh, fenomenal. A mí esas dos unis me parecen súper chulas. Recuerdo haber visto el Libro de Kells en el Trinity. Precioso.
Caramba, pues si ya salís con EDOS de segundo orden qué bueno. Al final en física se hace mucha resolución de segundo orden y acopladas. Sabiendo eso tienes prácticamente el camino hecho a lagrangianas y hamiltonianas. Me alegra saber que se imparte esto antes de la uni, y que toquéis algo de sólido rígido también. Según mi opinión, no es una matemática tan extrema, aunque entiendo que hay mucho, mucho temario general y que por algún lado se debe recortar. No encontrarás en mí un chovinista STEM (durante el doc me puse a hacer filología hispánica, y durante la carrera intenté ponerme con periodismo jaja). Considero las humanidades como algo fundamental y que, en una sociedad tan orientada a la producción, están siendo desplazadas, cosa que me apena.
Al respecto de que estudiéis cosas que puedan no impartirse en algunas carreras... es lo que te dije antes: a mi entender los grados son solo una introducción. En ellos se te dibujan las puertas principales de un área del conocimiento, que no todas, por si luego quisieras recorrerlas más profundamente; también existe la libertad de cátedra. Eso sí, ¡que todo conocimiento sea bienvenido!
Bueno, he reducido a la mitad mi comentario porque me estaba quedando muy extenso y sé que tengo una verborragia considerable, jjaja.
Muchísima suerte con esos exámenes, para los que no me cabe duda de que saldrás victorioso :)

Ty Mario, keep going you have so much potential
Thank you, Akira! I’m in a bit of a turning point right now that I am still not sure where I will be studying but my aim is definitely to keep going!
I'm currently studying for the A level exams and I'm looking for more resources. I know that Brilliant will encourage me to study further on but unfortunately, I don't have much time left and I still have a lot to learn. Is Brilliant useful for my a levels?
Then you're in the same situation as me. Well, it depends on many different factors.
First, do you study A Level Maths only or do you also study Further Maths?
Would you find helpful having access to good examples/explanations of the concepts?
There's also the practice section, which I think is now only available to Premium, which has a handful of exercises of different knowledge levels with step-by-step thought-process and solutions. I'm actually going to work on the Logarithmic inequalities one today!
@@MarioFabelo I'm studying A level Maths, Physics and Computer Science. If you have experience on any of these courses can you recommend which course to learn on Brilliant?
@@tunglamnguyen8728 Okay. Then I think it could definitely be worthwhile to you. Brilliant is mainly made for Mathematics but it also has some decent physics that are part of the syllabus of A Level.
As I told you before, the Practice section might be the most time-effective for you. It has lots of "quizzes" with loads of questions that are very similar to those in A Level. Most of your A Level Maths topics will be present (letting you go a bit further to improve even more). For Physics it's more of the same: you've got all Mechanics, Magnetism & Electricity covered.
I'm not sure about how it might help you in Computer Science as I'm not aware of the syllabus.
Check whether you are able to access the Practice section for free or if you need the subscription. In case you do need it, I think it will be totally worth it!
@@tunglamnguyen8728 If you want to do some courses, I currently only had time to seriously try the Astrophysics one! The first part teaches you the A Level Cosmology stuff in a very interesting way (Hertzsprung-Russell Diagrams, parsec and common calculations).
The math ones are really promising though. Differential Equations seems like a very useful one. Same with the ones on Calculus. Complex numbers has an overview of algebra that leads to complex and it sticks quite well with the syllabus of Maths and has some Further Maths bits like Polar Coordinates.
Basically, any stuff you want to revise/learn you have a specific section within a course about it. And you can complement it with the Practice section to get into it more deeply!
omg bro hello from vn i have my upcoming sat too how was ur exam tho
para decir "just" tienes que comenzar con la punta de la lengua en el paladar.
how is brilliant expensive exactly? 10 bucks a month??? really?? Do you know how many thousands of dollars people waste on private lessons and student loans on pointless degrees? 100 bucks a year is pocket change my guy....
To be honest you are right. But in this society those things are more acceptable and are thought of as safer bets. Always invest in learning and education. It's never a bad choice unless it makes you go into debt!
Is 3blue1brown better for maths??
Thanks for the hard work helping us know about staff.
It's great of you indeed. Respect

The Astrophysics Course is currently not in the platform as they are updating courses and upgrading the quality of the content on the platform. However, the Math course I mentioned should be present I think 🤔

The future revealed: exclusive interview with Binance's CEO
love the music you used
Thank you, Arjang! Those are the comments we appreciate most : )
this is super inspiring. very interested in trying brilliant
well done Mario!
Do you still use it? If so, do you think your view of Brilliant has changed? And I would like to know if possible what you would consider the level of knowledge that they provide, for example, do they reach to complex theoritical concepts or it provides mostly about the basic formulas and principles? Also, do they have courses about Quantum Physics and Chemistry?
I do! So basically this semester I have Vector Calculus. It’s a pretty tough subject but I saw that they had a course of Vector Calculus on Brilliant with quite a lot of classes.
So to this day I have done the first classes on that course because I had trouble understanding parametrisations and the intuition behind the curl and the divergence.
I’ve been quite disastrous with time and now I’m cramming for the exam in one week and a half. So right now I’m not focusing on Brilliant and I’m using Khan Academy instead as they are videos (easier for me to consume) and they are more oriented towards exam questions.
However, I think that Brilliant is truly great and for me it is a really powerful tool to use throughout the term to understand the content really before focusing on exam practice.
I don’t think they yet have a course on Quantum Physics but they’ll probably have one soon as they are adding lots of courses these days.
Brilliant is by no means basic. It is actually quite difficult as it truly makes you think about the problem solving behind a concept. Not just use the formula. Most classes are about an example fictional situation that they use to end up deriving the theorem.
If you can afford Brilliant, then I think that it is a solid product. Not as much for exam technique and practice but more about having a greater understanding and flexibility of problem solving.
Hope that helps : )
@@MarioFabelo Thank you for the information! I'm going to subscribe to Brilliant tomorrow and see how it goes
@@alocsx No worries! Let me know how you personally find it!

what happened to the courses that have been taken down? and also the community feature?
They are retiring a few courses and they retired the Astrophysics one for some reason. I do believe that they will bring it back either refurbished or with completely new lessons that are more interactive! I still really liked that course so I feel you 😢
They also took down the Practice Section a few years ago. They now use it as a Wiki I think but there is less practice. It’s more like an article for certain concepts and a few practice exercises. They should definitely bring it back
@@MarioFabelo I am also sad that they removed the astroPhysics course, it was my favourite.
For some reason, they put computational biology in advanced Physics.
Muy buen video hermano. Quiero seguir aprendiendo más sobre cómo funciona este mundo y pues espero que Brilliant me ayude a satisfacer mis curiosidad. Animo.
Grande bro, hambre por aprender más acaba haciendo grandes cosas!!
If you try to self-learn a topic, for example following TH-cam or published student papers, and forums, you are really exposed to enless amounts of errors...I've seen many youtubers for beam theory and mechanics who really to gross errors, but in a very convincing way!
I think no one has mentioned this really important point on the comments! Exactly! That’s why places like Brilliant have a distinct value as they have many people doing quality control. Quality education is about “docere delectare”, making teaching fun, and also giving a high guarantee that the information is accurate and reliable!
Interesante Mario, gracias.
Gracias a ti por verlo y por dejar tu feedback! : )
How funny, this vid will hit 100K before Mario's channel even has 3K subs... Seems like you should be promoting more about your "you'll also want to see" content in each video to grab those potential subs, because your presented information has already proved its popularity.
When I filmed this video I thought it wouldn’t go anywhere. It really underperformed during the first few days after I uploaded it. So the last thing I thought was that this video would be my most viewed video by far. It’s crazy to be honest.
Almost 2 years later this video (which now feels a bit crappy in terms of aesthetic and production) has given my channel a huge drive and has made me realise that any video can turn out to have a significant impact on me and people around the world!
Would premium be a good thing for beginner coders?
I am actually in the process of making a video about Brilliant’s course on Python! I have already completed half the course and it is a great and smooth start so far for a beginner like me!
It introduces Python through the use of the Turtle Library so that coding is more visual since the start!
I did the Computer Science Fundamentals course and now doing the Python one.
I will let you know when that video is uploaded but I definitely think that it will help you as it is helping me personally! And with the same subscription you can do all the courses in the platform!
Thanks, but lav mics are made to be place on your shirt and not to be held like that, they will capture your voice because they're omni directional, any ways that's just my opinion, good video.
Thank you! You’re in part right! I filmed this more than 2 years ago now though. The rode Lavalier mic does sound way better the closest it is to the subject. I had some throat pain while talking around that time so I thought I would get it closer so that the quality would be better and I wouldn’t need to raise my voice : )
This was ages ago though, I’ve uploaded 50 more videos after that and I’m way more knowledgeable about audio now!
@@MarioFabelo No problem man, the message came across just fine, and you can use your mic any way you want, I just see people using these mics as a reporter mic and it's kind of funny but anyways. Just my opinion. Take care.

Hi Mario, this is a good review video. Are you still using Brilliant? If so, do you still like it?
Hi Carlos, thank you for watching!
I am still using Brilliant but as this is my last school year I am very focused on my A Level exams so I honestly do not use it consistently as I don’t have much free time and I prioritize learning theory and doing practice questions.
I use Brilliant for learning for fun or for having a different type of explanation about the same concept. I truly find it a very engaging and effective resource to learn about science!
Nice video! really helpful!!
Thanks, Entropy! I find you everywhere on Chemistry these days 😅
@@MarioFabelo :)
What did he learn...he does not say...
Sir I Am from India i want pay 499rs for month by buying 5999rs per year but I am in able to what to do
Hello ! Thats super interesting but you mainly speak from a STEM student PoV (which makes sense).
On the other hand, im a man working daily and Khan is not only time consuming but also lacks providing me problems.
I want to learn maths to learn physics in détail and i feel like Brilliant is helping me doing that (currently finishing foundational maths course list).
My question to the STEM student you are would be : Do you think Brilliant could honestly make a standalone ressource for someone like me who will be willing to go deeper into physics but just wants to build a maths foundations to tackle real physics ?
Its really hard as a non-STEM student to find some honest opinions on Brilliant since each short and or reddit thread seems like it attracts a LOT of hate from this community.
Thanks a lot for your content and a great day i hope :)
Khan academy is great but they are more like TH-cam videos (they actually are) than actual foundational education.
I feel like Brilliant is quite concise and unlike any other platform. They don’t just “do the problems”, they explain you the context, the reasoning and make you question yourself whether it actually makes sense to you and then they give you some problems and offer really good explanations and a very cool interface!
I think there’s no such stand-alone thing for learning in STEM. Having said that I think that a good combination of books and Brilliant can offer a more diverse view and perspective and, hence, help at learning.
For example, you could get the Theoretical Minimum Books by Leonard Susskind. These are very small books on specific topics of physics that go along with the TH-cam lectures and they were aimed at mature students or people that wanted to learn physics as a side hobby! And doing the relevant content on Brilliant will always help along!
Maybe it is better to start just with Brilliant and then once there’s some intuition and basic knowledge you can read books like those from Leonard Susskind or the Feynman Lectures (also on TH-cam).
I personally find text-books overwhelming and a bit boring sometimes.
I suppose some people hate Brilliant because it’s expensive and not the most accessible. However, I think it offers so much that the price is quite justified. I would prefer it to be expensive and offer a lot than to be cheap and not offer much value.
Thank you for watching and do let me know any other questions!!
@@MarioFabelo I totally agree and thanks a lot for this detailed and meaningful answer !
For the Susskind and Feynman lectures, since I guess you know Brilliant quite well, what would be the point I could dive in those ? Like do i need to clear all the maths content up to differential equations or is there a threshold earlier where i can dive in ? Im currently doing the foundational part and i cleared solving equation/graphs/measurements courses, im currently studying vectors still on Brilliant.
And moreover, while studying Feynman or Susskind, I guess I will need to keep working on my maths skills and that Brilliant will end being not enough for maths too ?
Again, thanks
@@heta04 Brilliant has courses of different levels which follow an order of difficulty. include different topics inside. They have recently introduced the so-called "Learning Paths". There is one for Foundational Math which will definitely help as physics is ultimately using math for solving a problem observed in nature!
You don’t even need differential equations to start with the Feynman or Susskind lectures. They're both meant for people in their first year of college/university. The maximum you need to know is basic integration and the rest should all be built almost from scratch.
I just saw they released a course on Vectors! That's really cool! Vectors are generally simple but for some reason, they are sometimes confusing.
You can access all the Feynman lectures for free on the official website and I think they have problems as you go!
I would use Brilliant as a side tool for those moments where you get to a topic that you don’t really understand and you want another perspective to hopefully understand a bit more. If what you ask is whether Brilliant teaches advanced maths, I think it goes pretty far, probably almost to the level of a whole undergraduate degree in Physics. You can find a lot of linear algebra, Fourier analysis and differential equations.
@@MarioFabelo that's great so I can confidently pair a solid physics ressource with brilliant to backup for maths alone.
That's quite the perfect scenario thanks a lot.
That may seem ridiculous but as I said I come from law so I didn't study maths for 15 years now and I had a bit of trouble to understand how to calculate a graph slope and quadratic function with y = ax^2 + bx + c but yeah I will come back to it ig it's super important lol.
Anyway, thanks
@@heta04 science, more than any field, it’s just about getting familiarised with stuff and things start to become natural at some point!! Do let me know how you get on with it!

Not really, James. The platform is a good resource for going over specific topics and practising. However, they do not follow any specific curriculum.

40 Dollars for 3 months learning tons of stuff is expensive for you? Paying a teacher costs you at least 15 dollars per hour. Here you get 3 months instead of 3 hours. I don't like how you eVALUEate.
Hi Samir, for being a monthly subscription it involves a decently high price compared to other well-known subscriptions like Netflix that are about 10$ per month.
However, as you say, for being such a complete education platform it is not particularly expensive. I completely agree with you on that aspect. But you also have to agree with me on the fact that for some people to pay a minimum of 40$ to access the platform may be a bit expensive.
I still think investing in education is always good!
@@MarioFabelo Netflix is about consuming content for joy, relaxation or excitement, all in all for hedonistic motives, which everybody pursues as experiencing joy is a psychological human motive. Netflix profits from the industry as a whole. Movie productions, series productions, Netflix is just the platform for people who seek to consume these contents. If they don't pay Netflix they pay some other platform. Here you are talking about education. Stuff that brings you further on your studying, in your business. How many interactive learning based platforms are there to compare? How is their pricing? I for example value education higher than entertainment. And if a platform accomplishes to combine learning with fun, that's something many people would pay even 50 Dollars or 100 Dollars per month. I understand that YOU measure it to be expensive, but a review about a product should try to use objective parameters to judge something rather than just concluding on personal preference.

Just friendly feedback with all respect:
I need a more comprehensive review rather than a little explanation of your experience. Brilliant might be good, but you couldn't convince me that it is "indeed good." Instead, I'd like to see a video while you are using it to learn a topic and show us your natural 'bam!' moments when you indeed learn something with Brilliants brilliantly teaching that most of us can relate to your experience.
PS: Hence the video is well crafted; zooming while complimenting how good it is not good enough for me.
