    I'm an engineer and i can now see how little I've learnt all through school and college, even thought it always felt a lot. The way we are taught maths, just remembering the formulas not why and what they are, it makes it feel like so much more than it actually is. The feeling of truly understanding a mathematical concept and knowing how and where it is applied is priceless.

      So true! In my school, we were taught some formulas here and there, but only to work out the problems on the worksheets. Then, we moved on the next unit in order to pass the exams. Most of the grades in the class were validated with homework (60%) and it was only a completion grade. 😂 So my math skills really never developed, despite me being able to advance to the next grade. I want to just start the journey all over again because I do believe this is a life skill that improves the way you generally think or rationalize. This video really comes in handy for that.

It wasn't until much later that I realized that math all on it's own was interesting and useful as Jacob states. It's a language or a lens for understanding and describing the world. When you start to understand some of the math behind something like orbital transits or logic of how computers operate, it really does become a lot more fascinating. Not that I fully grasp all of this, but at least this time around I want to!

As a mathematician, you really need this special kind of mindset, not caring if what you are doing is actually useful or not. It might be some day, but not necessarily today or even within your lifespan. That's why people like me end up in computer science and electrical engineering 😝

    In my mid 40s. And I've been re-learning math as well. I moved countries (three different languages) when I was young, and as a result I have tons of holes in my math education. So I started over again in my mid 40s, now that I have time and the means to do it. I think the advantage this time for me is the fact that I can really dig into areas I enjoy. And with some life experience behind me I think it helps me compared to when I was young learning this stuff with no frame of reference. Anyway thanks for putting this together, I ordered bunch of books using your links. Hope it supports this great channel!

While learning Math i've been learning it properly and i learn everything except what i don't need and learning everything helps me see the connections and patterns between all the numbers no matter how you use them in a Concept and that helps me more cleverly and easily solve any question thrown my way.

      All it takes is for a teacher to crush a student's self esteem once or twice and they'll never bother trying again. School made failure a big deal, if I got a bad grade I was mocked by teachers and other students, I had to fear how my family would react and I had to fear my scores not being high enough when finishing the year. It grinds you down and makes you hate trying anymore because you associate learning with inevitable failure and stress.
      Failure is a part of learning, it's the act of putting your plans into practice and seeing with your own eyes where and how your method doesn't work which naturally makes you come up with better conclusions. School destroys that, a lot of people grow up thinking that they should never try anything ever because if they're not good at the start, they'll never be good ever.

      Its mostly because how they are taught. Luckily got a chemistry teacher who was very much fascinated with the subject itself, he taught us very well, he was a researcher, although it was no requirement for a teacher to be one, I think that's one of the reason he was really good at explaining things about the subject. He would go into the details (that he isn't required to) to explain the intricate details just so that to that it starts making sense.
      I liked his teaching because he did not make it plain and boring, and just blabbered theory but he used to provide context, and connect all the things with the real world.
      So I think it depends lot on the teacher's qualification, personal interest in the subject, charisma, to be able to engage students in a subject.
      And is rightly said by Dr. Walter Lewin- "those teachers who make physics boring are criminals", and I think It applies to all the subjects there are to teach in this world. Either you teach it with great interest and develop students' interest in the subject or you don't teach it at all, because that only creates burden, and wrong opinions are formed about the subject even the subject doesn't deserve it the teacher does.

    Honestly this was really helpful. I used to be the “smart kid” that kinda burned out in middle and high school. I kinda learned how to bullshit my way through math because I didn’t think I’d major in stem. Then I fell in love with geology and realized how screwed I was needing to not only know math but get into engineering physics classes. I am just barely getting through trig realizing I don’t think I know much of math at all and don’t know where to start because I have a very bad foundation. So thank you! I’ll definitely try to do some self teaching so I can go into this feeling confident!

      Yeah, I was so good at every subject in elementary school, I didn't have to do a single piece of homework or study and could ace every test in every subject. Then it got hard and I had no idea to how learn.

    I litteraly could've learned mathematics well if it wasn't for school! I get that some people like school and that's great , but it's not for everyone! I find myself learning many new things and enjoying it outside of the school system! I feel like school didn't do anything for me that benefits in my life today ! Altough i wouldn't say it was a waste of time

      It gets crazy long. I remember having 2 days between class, but the assigned homework would take me 40 hours of pencil-to-paper time (I'm a bit slower so it took me longer, other students took 30 hours). Those are times I never want to relive. I would have to all-nighter Sunday through Friday, then sleep Friday and Saturday and start again.

      @@zants_ for Stewart's I found the opposite. Sections start having sub 50 questions a lot more. And the difficulty isn't hard.
      I haven't done much of Spivaks yet but dang each chapter definitely takes awhile. I did HEAR that it gets easier but apparently that comes down to getting used to the level of difficulty. From my experience with Spivak so far it ain't a joke.
      Which book are you referring to, I can definitely believe it taking that long for Spivak. For Stewart's there are long chapters but not too many of them.

      I think that's about right when you are self-taught and are learning to LEARN. Wheras school is learning to get a good grade - it's not the same and never allows real opportunity for the lesson to be absorbed and mastered.

    I've always hated math and did badly in school like most people, but ever since I started to learn programming, I implicitly began liking the logic and (without knowing) made connections to math. Fast forward a couple of years and I had to take math in college to obtain a diploma for my course, and I actually liked it, despite how hard it was for me (we're talking about going from 8th grade math to differential calculus, set theory and some algebra in a semester...).
    Now I've been out of it for a while and working as a software engineer, but due to my interests in math I decided to pick it back up, this time starting with the first book on Discrete Math, and I can't help but notice patterns to programming here, like "that works like a for loop", or "that's polymorphism!".
    Self studying this stuff and not being forced to learn it just to pass exams feels really good, hopefully I'll be able to study enough to go to uni either next year or in 2 years for Computer Science and Engineering, which is an area I'm really passionate about (kinda late at 28 years old, but hey... what can you do!).
    Thanks Wizard, I feel like this is what I was missing as a software engineer and can't help but want to fill in the gaps, now it's only up to me to make it happen!

    Last time I went to college was 2014- 2015. At that point, the last time I was in a math course was when I graduated high school in 2010.
    The teacher of the course I needed to take was russian and I barely understood her. I was so overwhelmed. I literally dropped out and haven't gone back to school since because my fear of being in school and taking these hard courses like maths and sciences and not being able to perform and absorb the information without dampening my GPA.
    So I decided, why don't I just teach myself all of the hardest subjects and take as long as possible and don't go back to school until I've already learned it.
