Completely dissassociate yourself from your environment by trying not to react to it. I struggled with anger management which brought on depression and I don't know if you have ever watched Penguinz0 but he doesn't react negatively to things and continues as if nothing happened. Although emotionless, he remain optimistic and continues to look for solutions as if he is speed running a game or something. The point is that when you look back on yourself in years to come, you would have wished you adopted this optimistic attitude so you could make progress quicker. As for study tips, researching deep work is a great idea. Note taking: Categorise into Important (A subject or an important message) method: How to approach a problem Notes: Exam tips and additional advice and incorporate as many questions as possible. Don't waste a second not thinking about maths and don't worry if you don't do well initially, Remember, it isn't about the grades but the system you use to attain them. Refine that system and forget about the grades for now. Good Luck.

0) Embrace your ignornace. We all have to start on Square One, wherever that might be. 1) Skim through the entire book, cover to cover. There's usually interesting stuff in appendices and so on. 2) Eliminate distractions: phone, computer, watch, etc. Carve-out a place to concentrate. 3) Write things out on paper: definitions (think of examples and counter-examples) and draw doodles, pictures, etc. that will help you visualize a concept. 4) Get going.

there's no set way to study. trial and error to see what works for you is the best way to study. part of studying is understanding your mind, thought process, and understanding of the topic. the only thing that can really determine success more than anything else is effort

[@OP-lk4tw]

Studying mathematics is studying the mind, the underlying processes by which it operates, and as you mentioned, the best way to apprehend the concepts for each individual

[@hubomba]

Yup. One example is the baseline advice is to study with no noise or distractions. Jon von Neumann did his work in front of a loud TV and also worked in his office at Princeton playing loud German march music. Was von Neumann in the wrong? No, that's just what worked for him, and it's pretty obvious whatever worked for him worked.

I have realized that one avoids studying because one is afraid of the challenge ahead and procrastinates accordingly. It is good idea to break that challenge into humiliatingly small parts and start there.

[@michatroschka]

so good! you could start by getting your book out at a nice place. then your tasks.. your notes.

[@yurigansmith]

My central problem with studying (math & math-heavy fields) is the extreme oscillation between obsession (up to compulsiveness) and avoidance (usually manifesting as procrastination). I'm aware of the fact that it essentially has nothing to do with math itself (and/or other related fields), but it's the one thing that is most affected by it.

[@clarisse3417]

Me too! Sometimes I can study long hours and I'm don't feel tired with math, but other times I just can't understand and try anything because I don't have motivation and desire to do it

You're describing burnout

[@Isaagain]

Gotta balance input and output

[@jacobharris5894]

I know exactly what your talking about. I suck at doing it but I think forcing yourself to stop can be as important as forcing yourself to start sometimes. Once I get into that state I don’t want to stop until the task is done but this isn’t always healthy. Avoid going 110% if you can help it. Rest when you still have some work to look forward to and come back at it with the same enthusiasm you had yesterday.

[@bestopinion9257]

It is because you do too much and need rest. The body is begging for rest. So, try to observe how much you can do such that you do not need rest days. Start with low (not high) and increase it slowly. If you need days off, you know that you have to reduce the time/effort. Consistency is more important. If you can study 3 to 5 hours every day, consider it a good program and stick with that.

[@billandersen1389]

A long time ago I got to meet the great John McCarthy and asked him how he went about reading a new paper. His advice was basically the same - read it once to get the gist, then go through over and over, writing down things he didn’t understand and working through them. Sometimes, he said, he’d have to read a paper five times to finally get it. Even the best of us have this problem and your advice was great.

I'm 40 years old, divorced and a father of two wonderful children. About a month ago I started to reflect on my financial well being and how I'm supposed to provide for my children in the future. So I came to the conclusion to pursue higher education. I'm about to head to High School this September and I will hopefully get my high school diploma. After that I want to go to University and finally make something out of me. I'm so tired of being a underpaid Warehouse Employee. I am currently sitting on my butt for at least 4hours a day and study Math, because I used to be lazy and therefore never really understood it. Thank God that I live in a country where higher education is basically free. David Goggins and you inspired me to do it! God bless you Math Sorcerer!

At 40 with two kids I'd recommend learning a skilled trade instead of pursuing a college degree. It's good that you are studying math, that will help you with some trades - electrician, hvac tech, bus or train tech. With only 2 years of training you can have a job that pays very well and has great benefits and pension.

[@Khobalt664]

Nadim: I’m sorry that you’re going through that. Depression and poverty are two extremely difficult challenges. It’s a good sign that you want to improve. Those who want to improve generally do. It’s likely that you’re improving and you don’t realize it. Improvement frequently feels like confusion. It’s when people are confident that they know everything that they are in trouble. Hang on. Hope is a major asset. Best of luck and be kind to yourself and others.

[@user-er1eq9nw7e]

When studying Mathematics, we need to know that haste makes waste. If we try to understand every process of proving the theorems, to follow the solution of every example, and to understand the logic of them, then we have the fastest way to learn.

A minor additional tip, which I didn't learn until later when I was less self-conscious: it's ok to talk to yourself or talk out loud as you solve problems. You can't do that during a classroom test I suppose, but with homework it helped me a lot.

[@noJobProgrammer]

Combining hard studying with causal reading is a great strategy.

[@rodneycummings1456]

When I study mathematics via KZbin videos, I turn on the closed caption and literally write down everything the teacher is saying verbatim. Afterwards, I go back over what I've written down and rewrite it in a more organized manner. It does take me a while to do this, but I've learned so much and retained a lot of the information.

[@WelaSA]

This helps me too but I've found that in university there isn't enough time to do this

I suspect that few are truly worthy of the title of sorcerer. In your case, I think the title is well-suited. You are a great mathematician with a kind and compassionate heart. -You make me want to be a better mathematician.

[@michaelgarcia812]

As an engineer with many years of experience here are some words of advise. 1. Be easy or patient with yourself, don’t ever feel defeated. 2. Learning is a process in itself. Every learning process has a start and an end. 3. Celebrate your successes. 4. Move on when you get stuck, but come back. 5. Use as many books or references to learn a difficult topic. There is no best reference on anything. 6. Start and finish your homework before they due to reduce stress. 7. Ask questions.

[@michael_toms]

Noting where you got the information from is also part of studying. When I was writing my book on the meaning behind the academic hat in the early days, I struggled because I did not 'note' where I got some information, and it took me forever to find it again. Thank you for your KZbin channel.

[@LootRabbit]

I always appreciate your input! I enjoy the Feynman technique in understanding the material more fully in an encapsulated way. Your point on writing it down is an excellent way in doing such and creates strong mental models/data structuring in the mind! Thank you for adding to the learning community as a whole Sorcerer! Cheers!

[@ilostmydignity3214]

Honestly, if u study, it's nice to be able to keep track of your progress and have clear goals set up for yourself. What worked for me was inventing a language/learning journal since i study more than 1 subject. For each week and each subject, i set up a single goal (finish 2 chapters, for example) plus the approximate time i can spend on it. Then, after each session, i write down what i did, where I need to still improve/what do i need to do the next time, and i include the hours i spend studying. On the last one i like to make some yearly/monthy graphs depicting my overall score. Seeing me improving on the amount of self-study i achieved keeps me motivated :)

[@Codexmors]

Thanks

[@lasalleman6792]

Excellent advice. I use the method of overall reading of the complete text, studying the examples. Taking a short break, and then going back over the material. Helps with Calculus--still it's a hard slog. Understanding comes slowly.

Mental Health is also important, without a clear mind you wont be able to focus and do math efficiently. He said that he is depressed, since hes only 13 i assume that unhappiness with his current situation would fit better. Nadeem if you are reading this, stay strong. Take that pain and convert it into effort. Study hard, become good at maths and all those problems will go away, it will just take a little bit of time. Remember there are always people who are in a worse situation.

Hey Math Sorcerer, I'd just like to say thanks for the great videos, talks, book reviews, etc. You're a nice, caring, intelligent guy who just wants to help people learn, and I think that's hard to find in modern times unfortunately. I hope all is going well in your life, thank you for the videos and awesome algebra course; I am currently using it to tackle my MAT 1033 (Intermediate Algebra) class. I have always struggled with math and dropped out of college when I was 19 because of medical bills and I also just didn't know what I wanted to do in life so I didn't care about any of my classes. I was broke, depressed, and felt like a failure. (This was 2018-2023) Fast forward to the present, I am back in school, just finished my first semester back with a B in both my philosophy and logic classes. Despite my lifelong struggle with math, I am pursuing a degree in astronomy and astrophysics because I just love the mysteries questions about life we just don't know the answer to.

[@MurrayMD]

Because most of what I study now is on a computer, one technique I've used to thoroughly learn something is copy and paste the section of text into a notepad file then parse through it. When I go through it, I make sure I can understand everything the author is saying in a passage, then I ask myself if there is a briefer or clearer way to express that in words. Most of the time there is, so I basically edit what the author wrote, then do what I think is a better job, or at least it somehow "feels" better when I read it. In the process of doing that, the thoughts of what the author talks about begin to gel more and I'm satisfied that I captured all that was said. Thanks!

How do you study for something you don't understand

[@jasonolyver6430]

Hi, I'm in uni and I have engineering courses with relatively basic math (basic trigonometry and algebra) but for me, it's still hard because I have no depth in the field of mathematics. I can tell by comparing the way I can form complex analyses on other topics in my head and visualise them in depth, whereas with math I keep asking questions that end up going on tangents besides the scope of the course and I get stuck often. I'm trying to study and I'm realising two things. I generally want to learn and actually understand things (I know sometimes it's better to move on and you'll understand later but with me everything is unclear) and for me to actually learn would take a lot longer than one semester so it's hard to be ready for exams. And the second thing with math specifically, it's so complex that I notice some things are calculated and some things are just memorised information. Most students I know usually cram and memorise just to pass, but I can't really do that either. I guess my question is, how to deal with this duplicity? How much should I try to understand and calculate and how much should I just memorise? I remember when I was a kid and "learning" the times tables, we used to just memorise them, and sure it's useful, but there's so much else I don't have memorised and I don't really understand how or why. I keep getting stuck in the same place because of it. What is your opinion on this, if it makes any sense to you at all?

[@marcin2x4]

Together with my dad, we are both located in Poland, were thinking what is your take on Polish based mathematicans. Have you every encountered any, or books written by some of them? Are they recognized in the US? On the second note, I want to thank you for the enthusiasm you spread in your videos. Math was always triggering anxiety in my mind, almost always I felt notion of being lost, even tackling basic concepts. With your videos, I bough first books and started to learn math from very scratch. With that move I started freeing myself from fear and felt joy of learning math. Now I see that fear of math was only the outcome of untackled things in my life. Once I started learning again, I see that my mind is at peace. It might sound bizzare, but I do believe that going back to unresolved stuff can be very liberating for ones mind. So with that, I want to thank you for all you do in YT's space. Marcin

In addition to writing everything on the paper, I'd say it's important to break down what you're writing. There's times when you don't understand how the problem is being solved. In those cases I like to write it and focus on finding what doesn't make sense to me and actually trying to understand it. When I finally understand it I try to explain it the best I can in the paper, circling what I need to emphasize or whatever I feel like doing. That way you not only memorize and learn, but also discover where you're lacking and explain it so that if you're studying it again at some point (because re-reading is also important to consolidate something) you'll now be able to understand it easily and fast cause of your own notes and explanation.

Writing is really useful, especially for reworking the proofs yourself, coming up with examples and counterexamples, summarizing chapters and sections, and rephrasing and expanding on sentences that could be confusing. I am a slow writer though, so I prefer studying from PDFs and annotating the PDF with highlighted comments, and underlining important keywords/sentences. This has the added advantage of making reviews much simpler because the annotations act as memory hooks allowing you to race through a page by navigating the annotations.

[@1timoasif]

The whole bit about writing down “everything” is so validating to me, I had been writing down everything my entire mathematical career until my final year of undergrad which was during the peak of the pandemic. I found out we had take home exams for everything and I got complacent and my grades tanked. Thankfully I was still able to get into my Masters program, and I’ve been writing everything down ever since, it just feels so right (grades also went up but the real gift was my experience with math being repaired)

But first u need to understand property and theorems and then try to apply exercise that apply them directly so that u can understand them. Cuz theorems will let u understand what’s possible in mathematics and not , then try to do 100 exercise with gradual difficulty in each chapter with their answer u should pass any class in maths in worst case scenario.

Free paper advice: many offices have misprints or prints that they will not use ever again, so many times they throw them away, but you can go and ask if they can give you those papers because most of the times they only use one side, so you can write on the other

[@AqibKhan-kk6cq]

1:43 I say first do a casual reading and then careful reading. By casual studying first, you learn the surface level information, which seems like a waste but you are priming your mind for the subject you will be learning. Take a break for some time (it up to you) and start studying in carefully. Since, you have casually read the subject, your brain will have an idea of what you will be learning. This is called Priming or Pre-Study. If you want to know more you can search about it on KZbin or look for the research papers (I watched the entire video and realized you said the exact same thing)

My advice for studying for exams is review well ahead of time and once you are comfortable with a certain concept try speed running a few problems and check your answers for any small mistakes and correct them.

[@Steve_Stowers]

Here's an approach that I've found often works for math (and related subjects): After that first casual read, try to solve problems. There's a good chance that you won't know, or at least won't know well enough, everything you need to know to solve a problem. So then go back and look at the formulas, theorems, examples, etc. with the goal of figuring out what you need to know to solve the problem.

Another good advice i can give is: By time, look back at your accomplishments. See where you startet before lets say one year ago and where you are now. You will get that stronger consciousness of your progress and you will realize that you can achieve everything you want.

[@user-kw8qe5fk8v]

Hey math man how you doing? A comment from a dear follower: the thing is that i'm going to start learning math now, since i have no budget and a small income (we could say temporally, because i don't know when it will end). What do you think about the quality of the books the public library borrow/lends versus the ones amazon or any bookstore sell you? I do value quality specially latest edition. I believe I'll try out mysellf once i purchase a new odisea because i lost it and unfortunely i can't borrow any book from there unless i give back. Kind regards A susbscriber from costa rica.

could you possibly do a review of "advanced engineering mathematics" by dennis g zill? I'm wondering whether this is a viable alternative to buying a book on differential equations, linear algebra and complex analysis, respectively.

I think u helped me so much

[@asmaa22sattar90]

My personal way to study is to wake up early in the morning ( bc you won't be excited to do anything if you wake up late and I say that from a personal experience ) and at night before each morning I make a list of what I'm gonna do next day ( I use notes app on my phone YOU don't need a journal !) Then I start studying like I'm a teacher and actually I'm a totur for engineering students so, I feel like I'm playing a game not studying I use small board to make me feel I'm really a techer I take breaks of course ...but the most important is the PLANNING a day before ❤

We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.

[@algorithme1950]

Hi math sorcerer . I'm a math student. Do you have any advice for me to study linear algebra? As we are going further into details some proofs are getting harder especially those that involes matrices (where you need to put indices everywhere.. and it become unreadable)?

[@chrismichaud2644]

Study less, more often would be my advice. By this I mean study every day possible even if all you have is 20 minutes. Personally I have a limit how long I can study for it's around three hours. after that my efficiency and effectiveness drops drastically. Every time finals come around I think oh I'll just study all day for the next few days and I'll be good. All day rarely exceeds 3 hours for me and then I think awe why didn't I study this over the course of the symester.

[@rahulsubramanian6545]

If i get stuck in any trig question, I google to look for any algebraic identity that i might have missed and then apply it and it works mostly. When that doesn't work, i ask AI to teach me that one problem and then proceed to solve the rest on my own.

Hola profe. 👋😀

[@efe6105]

is there anyway i can teach myself math as good as 4 year university as i go to computer science university, any complete lesson or booklist

[@deandreswiftszn6588]

Please talk about studying while having ADHD.

[@ShivamSingh-pq5en]

My only problem is being consistent i can study 4 to 6 hour a day during my semester exams even 10 hours depending on the difficulty of subject before the day of exam but on regular days it becomes impossible no matter how hard i try If only i was able to study 6 hours everyday with no distractions and complete focus.

Apply things that you are learning to somthing you already know. 👍

[@sudevav9133]

Nice

[@zedth2]

The other thing you can do is once you've looked at something a couple of times try and teach it someone else. If you have siblings then try it on them. Teaching, even if you don't know very much, will help you learn.

Studying keeping you big as hell 💪

[@saitohiraga6854]

sometimes it feels Awful ...How do you study for 2 weeks straight... when you are depressed worst part is, i know i could have done it. It was easy. I know i had the potential. this just makes failing...10x more...hurtful. because, i can't get myself, to start, anything.

[@FloraJoannaK]

Aww man. It's so easy to just draw diagrams and do fundamental problems with a pencil. I had a hand injury, which makes drawing, writing and such slow at best and painful at worst. 🥺 It also caused an association with physical pain with math. So, there are many avenues for avoidance.

13 with existential crisis? Times have really changed.

[@BoysinBlue-zn5db]

Guys i have weaker in maths due to lack of guidance and proper planning in last 2.5 years. How do i learn maths from scratch where do i begin learning it from? Should i prioritise Quadratic equations, Basic Maths, Logarithms,exponents, calculus/differentiation, Linear Equations and Inequalities, 3D geometry, Binomial Theorem, Trigonometry, Probability, Application of Derivatives, Differential Equations,Sets, Functions? Please help me. I want to be strong in maths again so i can score higher in physics and chemistry.

[@Codexmors]

starts with logical operators and sets

[@angelocostantini9407]

Nice video as always. I was wondering if anyone in this comment section could suggest me a platform to publish my proofs and exercises in order to get some opinions on that. Thank y’all in advance!

One thing that's helpful for me, I don't know about anyone else, is to read out loud and talk to myself as I'm solving a problem-the only downside is that some people might think you sound like a serial killer while doing it.

Casually Reading , Reading with pencil about things you are confused , write everything down when you don't understand , solve as much as possible that is homework

[@clementihammock7572]

Tough get you going, Nadine. Be sincere, and the day with help may just come. And no good dream ever die.

[@AizakkuZ]

AI is also a powerful tool, although use it carefully it’s not 100% accurate. Ensure that if it tells you something mathematically you force it to prove it every time

Is it possible to earn money from Math if you don't want to teach?

[@jayloncarter7030]

Definitely

[@Andrumen01]

At 13 nobody knows how to study. 😅 At 30 everybody gets tired of studying. At 13 you have 15 more years of learning how to study. My advice, no worries and take it one step at a time. Read and practice in a safe place (your school?). Focus 1 hour per day and it should get you through...elementary school? If I understood correctly...

[@Codexmors]

Middle school but also thanks

[@umakantakhuntia2070]

Do you think critically
