Math intuition builds up through putting in the hard work and diving deep into tough problems! 🔥

[@AldenMo12]

We definitely need to give more spotlight to brilliant minds like him! ✨ Genius often feels like a mysterious force, but it's fascinating to see how intuition plays such a crucial role in it. Intuition can be elusive-something that seems almost magical-but it can be trained and sharpened, and that's exactly what we need to demystify. Through conversations like these, we can better understand how intuition develops and how we, too, can nurture it in our own thinking. Aladin, your videos are becoming increasingly insightful, offering a rare window into the minds of math geniuses. Keep up the incredible work-you're inspiring many of us to think deeper, dream bigger, and believe in the power of nurturing our own genius. 👏🔥

Limiting what you retain from a problem to the one core idea clears out all the noise around it.

Bro i met him at IMO 2024 and he grayscaled his phone so he can focus on Math 🔥

[@yuyuvybz]

I've just grayscaled my phone after reading this Thanks ❤

[@nourelhoudasabbagh]

Very interesting! We want to see more of this guy!

Hello, so one of the tips for developing mathematical intuition is to write a journal about the journey to the solution? Such as, first understanding the problem, if there is not enough theory knowledge, gather and revise them from notes. Then try to solve the problem in the first intuition idea, and repeat it for 2-4 threshold times. If solved write the journey of idea how you come to the solution and revise it later. If not solved then see the solution and try to understand how the author constructed or find a way to the solution right? But how to deeply analyze it? What are the other techniques I could use?

[@MathWisdom42]

Yes, journaling your problem-solving journey is an excellent way to build intuition. To analyze deeply, focus on identifying patterns or structures within the solution path, like recurring strategies (e.g., symmetry, invariants) or common manipulations (e.g., substitutions, reductions). Compare different approaches, reflecting on why one worked better, and try to generalize the solution techniques to other problems. You might also reverse-engineer solutions by tweaking parameters to see what breaks or still holds, or by analyzing what key insights made the solution possible and when they became apparent.

i think some person has natural intelligence from birth and normal peoples cannot defeat them in life

[@arcofficial516]

I think your statement is false. I believe its all about what upbringing a child gets.

[@UjjwalSinghPal-um3pb]

@@arcofficial516 I agree with this statement also,I get emotional neglect rather than my brother who did not and here he is more intelligent than me ,and I am like lethargic always

[@Jiggly12]

I disagree, research has shown that intelligence is also influenced by the surroundings of the person, i.e. how they were brought up, were they in a household that highly valued education and excellence? this is why usually asian children seem to be smarter as they were raised in an environment that values that kind of thing.

[@sldw3221]

I think this is something you can't know for sure. Of course we are all different but there are also different paths to success

[@BreezeTalk]

This is rather bad advice because it assumed a lot about the viewer. I do not like the framing and stance of this KZbin part.
