Delivery of "put that book down" an iconic ASMR moment for me. Calming yet intense at the same time.

[@fizzyxcustard]

This video is pure bliss! I love when you say ‘right’ and ‘okay’ at the end of sentences. Thank you so much, Chycho.

[@picturegirl4315]

This is sooo nice. I like this way better than loud, dramatically enthusiastic math tutors on KZbin. Especially how you talk about the author and history of the book. 😻

[@performancetesting1]

Sadly, I didn't take advantage of all of the advanced math I could have learned back in high school for free. Chycho, I appreciate how happy you are to share your knowledge in a helpful format to help others learn. In my case, I didn't truly appreciate math in my younger years, and it's my own fault for choosing to avoid taking any math that was not required. I like that I can pick up at my level with your videos to build on what I did learn or refresh my memory on techniques. In a way, I see math as like a software program--even if on paper--it's a bunch of truths (symbols of truth) and commands recorded to help our brains keep track of what it knows in pieces, yet can't focus on all at once.

[@chycho]

Very well put, Christopher, great way to look at it, a 'software program' to help us understand different types of systems. By the way, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself, our centralized education system does an extremely poor job teaching math and making it accessible to everyone.

[@TheBombShelter-TBS]

@@chychowhat are your preferred techniques for learning mathematical concepts, formulas, etc? Memorization is a hard part of learning for me.

[@chycho]

@@TheBombShelter-TBS It's all about the variables and the units being used, so what I try to do is get familiar and comfortable with them, so basically try to understand the system that is being modelled. I'm not into memorizing but rather understanding.

[@deepdarkasmr7106]

Man, I discovered your videos yesterday and you've instantly made it to one my favorites! So good! Goosebumps all over!!! Thanks. :)))))

[@chycho]

My pleasure, brother, and welcome to my channel :)

[@tauceti8341]

I think the first day of a course should be exactly this. How to get familiar with the subject matter, the author of the book, writing style. My first course the professor wasn't really following what the author said, especially when they want you to do it only THEIR way. Thank you so much for your videos, gave me some information to come back and hit some LA hard tomorrow morning.

[@chycho]

You're very welcome, Tau, and I agree, getting familiar with the text and the course material should be the very first day of any course but unfortunately, for most courses, it's not. I still haven't figured out why yet.

[@SausageSideways]

Thank you very much for this, so relaxing. I fell asleep to it last night after struggling for many hours. Really appreciate it. It's natural and simplistic and those are the only videos that trigger me ❤️❤️

[@chycho]

You're very welcome, Amanda. Lots of love right back. Peace :)

[@LetsFindOut1]

I always wanted to take a peek into Feynmans red book after reading about it in one of his bios. Thanks for sharing chycho.

[@chycho]

My pleasure, brother :)

[@chycho]

Hi again, I had a comment mentioning that you sent some people my way, that they found me through you, just wanted to thank you for the link-up. Lots of love, brother :)

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

Hey chycho. Just to let you know I passed maths class and I can leave it behind me now thankfully! Thanks for all your help

[@chycho]

Well done, well done indeed. So you're off to the next phase? How long will the training be? Or do you still have to write a general entrance exam? I think the police force training here in Canada, the RCMP anyway, is a few weeks.

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

I was accepted initially the last time so that i was able to do the exams. I have to reapply but there is no reason that i cannot get in this time, i have to just knuckle down and do the maths, english, awareness roleplay, physical competence, Strength and Final interview.

[@chycho]

Looks like they test you on everything, cool. Wish you well, brother :)

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

The PSNI, or Police Service Northern Ireland's training is almost that of the FBI of america, which is obviously a very high step above your average beat cops.

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

Cheers man. Hey, i don't suppose you've ever considered talking about music in one of your videos? Hell, why not combine both, why not some Math Metal with Tool? lol

[@courtneykingdon1260]

You are a very intelligent man. I have a lot of respect for you and your evident love of learning and reading! People like you are who we need in the world! Thank you :)

[@chycho]

**Blush** Thank you for the kind words, Courtney. I'm just sharing what I love and contributing what I can. Just happy that it's being received in a kind light. Peace :)

[@courtneykingdon1260]

+chycho you're welcome :)

[@wizzelhoart]

chycho, this is my favorite ASMR so far...do you have similar videos you can recommend?

[@chycho]

This one is very much along the same lines: "ASMR Math: How to Study: Tip #6: Recognize the Problem, Remember the Pattern - Male, Soft-Spoken" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIquo6Crn8d5jKc Aside from that, there are all the comic book readings.

[@chycho]

It's my pleasure, Tim... appreciate all the hard work you put into "Home Improvement" as well :)

[@aaronmadden7771]

You sir, are a master. Thank you so much for these videos.

[@jcdulos1]

This is my favorite asmr video.

[@scakes1982]

Awesome video! Would love to see your math & science book collection

[@chycho]

+scakes1982 I plan on doing some videos on my book collection. It'll happen in my next move to a larger space where I can set up a library and pull my books out of storage. I actually have some crazy rare books that only had a few hundred to a couple of thousand print run. One day I want to be able to read and understand all of them... most likely I'll be doing this move next summer, fingers crossed :)

[@ronald235]

My exams are in 5 days..... still having to learn to revise:( Your videos give me hope:)

[@natedaug1]

[@chycho]

My pleasure, Susan :)

[@RoboSonic876]

I really needed this. I just got into college and I've never had to read and take notes on textbooks before, so I was really lost and had a lot of difficulty these last few weeks. Thanks!

[@chycho]

My pleasure. Hope you enjoy college, it can be amazing on many different levels.

[@alissamedvedeva5614]

If you don't see a solution at the end, a lot of time solutions to that book can be found in the Internet, made by publisher in the first place and just released separatedly or just compiled by TAs. It's useful for certain kind of older textbooks.

[@TylerHNothing]

you are the future of mathematics. I'm sorry to say that you wouldn't fit in a highschool curriculum, but i think it's hilarious that we both know it. I think it's even funnier how many people know that you're much better than anyone teaching right now. Teachers don't teach deep understanding, some students rip on others who do want a deep understanding, but I can tell that the trend is changing. Due to the internet and how connected we are as a species, we can find the most intuitive explanation for anything. Once these people who have access to all these explanations start teaching students, we're going to have a much more understanding human race. I wish people were as open to math and other social issues as you were sir

[@chycho]

+Tyler Hushour I agree, there is no way that I could fit within a centralized education system, and I'll never try to. And most definitely the future of education, a good education, is to function outside of that system. The problem is that the divide that is being created right now is huge, it's creating inequality the likes of which we have not seen for a very long time. That said, over time what you stated will occur. Once the information disseminates, this will take a few decades, we will have a "much more understanding human race."

[@rwharrington87]

Your voice is very relaxing.

[@lorin-gabriellauran2559]

Hey Chycho, For the entirety of my life I hated Math but recently I got really interested in Machine Learning and A.I., on a quick scan I found out that in order to even approach these subjects I need to learn Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra...well obviously for someone who dumped math a long time ago, jumping into these would be nearly impossible, although I'm determined to do it as the subject fascinates me. Would you be able to give me a roadmap for a filistine like me with stuff to learn, books to read-practice- in order to build up to Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus? Thanks a bunch and keep the good work!

[@chycho]

Oh my! Now that is a large topic. I'd suggest starting with Linear Algebra, it's way easier to deal with than Calculus. Think of Linear Algebra as solving systems of equations (finding the value for one of more variables), and it's also good to start here since it's easy to visualize - graphing really. As for where to start, the book I show here is a good starting point - if you know what linear equations are (LINEar = equations of a Line). Another book that I would recommend that I found while unpacking some boxes is "Algebra and Vector Geometry" by Stanton and Fryer - it's the book that I used to learn the subject. As for Multivariable Calculus... oh man, I haven't touched that stuff for a very long time. I'll be doing some major review and re-learning the material before I start creating my math videos on calculus so maybe hit me up in two to three years and I'll have some suggestions for you... my to go to book though is "Calculus" by Howard Anton. Hope that helps.

[@A-Ls1]

[@TheFallibleFiend]

I read vol 1 of feyman lectures some decades ago. Brilliant, lucid, penetrating.

[@TheiLame]

Hardest thing for me is when they explain it "overall/formulas" and not for specific problem... if its "overall" with a, b, c, i+1 and n-1 and n-k and roman letters i cant put those two together. For me the examples make more sense than what is trying to be explained.. 29:08i know those are important but they are just disgusting to read :( ive struggled so much because of it..

[@TheiLame]

? lol what

[@TylerHNothing]

+TheiLame you just need to get in and make sense of those letters and understand the intuition they're trying to get you to pick up on. I know it's hard work, and it takes a lot of practice. It's like any sport though, if you do it enough, you get better, you start to pick up on patterns and the intuition. Remember, if you want to be a baseball player, you practice, watch baseball games, and talk to people who are successful in the field. If you want to get better at math, you need to practice, watch people do it, and talk to people who are better than you and ask them the right questions

[@pianoarmond]

Very relaxing 😎

[@matthewwinter2400]

You should make a video dedicated to algebraic geometry.

[@chycho]

+Matthew Winter That I should, we see :)

[@chrisbalanda9368]

Sleep before study for a while back to sleep

[@MrCliveado]

Chycho, love the measured approach to creating youtube videos you take and this video is one of my favourites. One thing i must ask is whether i need to have an advanced knowledge of economics to read Hedges and Sacco's book? I have already ordered it but i'm wondering if you feel that i should dive into some peripheral topics before starting reading? Regards, Sam

[@chycho]

+Samuel Ewen No, you won't need any advanced knowledge of economics. He presents straight up percentages or numbers (ratios) and they will blow you away. I hope you enjoy it, at least find it enlightening since enjoy really doesn't fit in this case, it's a very depressing read in terms of what corporations and governments have done. And Hedges really doesn't hold back, neither does Sacco. One of my favorite books that's for sure. Let me know what you think of it if you get a chance, and I do hope you find the read worth while.

[@MrCliveado]

Hey Chycho, I read through days of destruction and it was a great read, made even better by Sacco's illustrations, in fact it opened my eyes to things i never knew. The section of the book that peers into the destruction of the lives of the native Americans was really shocking, along with the way that Capitalism treats our earth as an apparently limitless comodity while blindly destroying it. Some might say that in light of the atrocitries brought about by capitalism we should adopt a socialist approach to wealth distributon. If i were 16 again, going through my socialist phase i might agree but i feel that actually there is no system to rival capitalism in it's ability to bring about a generally greater quality of life of for all. As i have seen, and the book demonstrates, it is easy to point out the flaws in Capitalism but not to suggest a practical system to rival it. However, Sacco and Hedges book does show that we can be ruthless and selfish and it is right to shed light on the hardships people have suffered. It's a very thought provoking read and i feel mentally enriched for having read it. Thanks for the reccomendation! Sam

[@chycho]

You're very welcome, Sam, glad you enjoyed it. Definitely an intense book, shows us the true nature of "sacrifice zones". As for capitalism, it would be interesting to see what the world would look like if we practiced true capitalism. What we have right now is anything but, it's crony capitalism, which in the long run, imho, will turn most of the world into a sacrifice zone.

[@bobthornton8282]

You seem like the type to prefer the physical book, but the e-books are searchable so if you know the subject you’re looking for it’s pretty easy to search. The index could still be useful if you’re looking for inspiration for what to study though.

[@chycho]

I do like and have used ebooks as well, love the searchability aspect of it for sure, but I do love the physical copies, it's basically the main method I use, along with watching lectures, to learn or review.

[@hadra109]

OH GOD MATRICES that unit was a joy. lol

[@Carofdoom1126]

Look into linear algebra, your mind will go places it has never been before!

[@Carofdoom1126]

The textbook he shows in the video is actually a great place to start

[@Leo-pd8ww]

Cool, you bought the Feynman lectures!

[@chycho]

+flopski yup, have had it since the mid-80's :)

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

+chycho What is your educational background? Maths, physics, engineering (degree?)?

[@chycho]

+AlchemistOfNirnroot Geophysics with a minor in mathematics. Great combo actually :)

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

chycho Never liked geophysics, it was part of my AS Level coursework. Probably more interesting at uni.

[@Danuunad]

Hi, nice video! Is there any chance of you making a video discussing some high level (grad school+) mathematics? Also, I do think it's important to note that some of your tips do not work well beyond the college level---most well-known higher level textbooks, for instance, do not come with solutions to the exercises.

[@chycho]

Thanks for the clarification, DKT. And with some of those higher level math courses, you actually do end up having to read the whole thing. As for making grad school plus math videos, thanks for the vote of confidence but that's way beyond me right now. One day I think I'd like to go back and continue my math education, but I haven't had to do anything close to that heavy for over two decades, since I left school. I'd even have to review my calculus before I could start making that series... incredible how fast you lose it. One thing I do plan on doing though is once I get some of my books out of storage is to make a video and show some of my books in my library. I do have some really rare math books that I acquired/inherited a long time ago. There is actually a couple of topics that I would like to be able to understand: Reed-Solomon code theory and Applications of Finite Fields... one day :)

[@Danuunad]

+chycho Ah, okay. I guess I got a little over-enthusiastic ;) I was starting to dream of studying math while falling asleep, haha! I'd be interested in the book about finite fields---if you could discuss some of the contents that'd be pretty cool! You probably won't need calculus for it: Pure algebra (like the theory of fields, in the mathematician's sense as opposed to the physicist's) usually doesn't depend on that.

[@chycho]

+DKT haha, that's okay, sometimes I end up dreaming about doing math so that sort of balances the scales. As for the finite field's book, I believe I have about 4 or 5 them, the one I know that I have for sure is this one: books.google.ca/books/about/Applications_of_Finite_Fields.html?id=qhbTBwAAQBAJ&source=kp_cover&redir_esc=y

[@Danuunad]

+chycho That's a seriously advanced book! It'd be cool if you could make some videos about it :)

[@chycho]

+DKT I plan on it once I learn the stuff myself. It's a life time goal of mine actually, especially this one... personal reasons that I might share when I get to it. As for timing, hope to get to it within a decade.

[@bobthornton8282]

You can watch Gilbert Strang’s lectures on youtube. They’re brilliant.

[@chycho]

Thanks, someone else pointed this out as well today, looks like I'll be watching some lectures in the next few days/weeks :)

[@Asmrnerd10]

chycho how many physics class did u have to take as a ungrad for your math degree?

[@chycho]

I can't recall, there were a few math and physics courses, more physics than math though since that was my major, math my minor.

[@miguelreyes7880]

Do u have a PhD in math? New fav channel 😎😃😄

[@chycho]

Thanks for the love, Miguel, and welcome to my channel :) As for me and math, no, I don't have a PhD in math, just a Bachelor in Geophysics and Mathematics, with lots of geophysics experience in the field and teaching high school math.... and love both of course :)

[@miguelreyes7880]

chycho 😎 geophysics sounds very exitingly eccentric, we need more of them in Hawaii, to understand volcanoes better. I live in the ongoing lava disaster zone here in Hawaii if uve seen the news

[@chycho]

For sure I've been keeping track of what's going on in Hawaii. I realize that it is a disaster in terms of what it's doing to people's homes and the infrastructure, but as a geophysicists it is extremely fascinating. Watching volcanoes erupt and earthquakes shake the earth is what all geophysicists live for. I've actually wrote an essay on the geological structure of Hawaii years ago during school. The greatest "hot spot" on earth :)

[@miguelreyes7880]

chycho yes I'm also fascinated on that angle but heartbroken for my community, may I recommend atomic robo for comics heheehehe

[@chycho]

I feel you, nature can be extremely brutal. As for Atomic Robo, for sure recommend, and a great recommendation indeed. I actually almost bought a full run of all the sets on ebay a few months ago. Regret not getting them too, had maxed out my budget and had to skip it :(

[@mario6279]

+chycho Do you have a college degree and if so in what? Because I see you're not an average joe.

[@chycho]

Hey Sheldon. I'm not sure what type of a person an average Joe is like, I've only met two Joe's in my life and they were both very nice and smart :) As for me, I have my degree in geophysics with a minor in mathematics. Its served me well in life so far.

[@rabbecajohns5700]

Joe Sacco, that you present his book and admire so much is one of the biggest bigots, antisemitic, jew hating people in the world. The guy wrote three or four books about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, all of which are one sided and extremely anti-Israeli. He does not even pretend to be objective about it, he simply takes the side of one party in the conflict without questioning their motives, their behaviour and their reasoning. This simple-minded approach and this onesidedness is usually a sign of a great bias and hatred. In the case of Israel, this bias and hatred usually correlates to jew hating and antisemitism. I suggest that you read his books with much more criticism.

[@ethanyeeyee2796]

Antisemitic and Jew hating is literally the same thing why'd you say it twice

[@agxryt]

Not relevant, one-sided rant about nothing, with a random race card thrown in. 1\10

calling Hedges a trusted anything is a stretch. He is far left at best. He's about as trustworthy and unbiased as a Fox News report.

[@zochbuppet448]

why are you whispering? Are you in some sort of ashram, temple, church? Teaching is about putting people to sleep.

[@chycho]

+Zoch Buppet Think about as creating a relaxing atmosphere so the information being shared will be easily absorbed. If you would like a faster teaching style with the info coming at you as quickly as possible then you might enjoy the 150 plus videos I have up in The language of Mathematics playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLFA0678B6777BA250 You can also see the same style for the Math in Real Life videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLE313AE0850B34951 Keep in mind that I do like both styles and plan on making a lot more for both.
