What is the proper way to study Mathematics? | IIT prof's tips

[@shubhambhardwaj6952]

Main points of this video 1. Self study is the key of deep learning 2. Understand the Theorem by yourself deeply by using good books. 3. Now close the book and write down the theore without looking 4. Take a question and apply your knowledge of Theorem in it. 5. If you not get the solution then see the solution and ask why i couldn't think this way and if you able to reach the solution also question how i'd manage to think that way. These suggestions are really valuable for comprehensive and deep learning of mathematics.

[@vedantsgoodlife7302]

You are right in point 2; just that we have to get our hands on "good books" right at the beginning.

The problem is self study is that the books are filled with such abstract definition that it's hard to understand the concept

Its hard but its helpful.

This is one AMAZING video. I am an AI engineer myself and I love math. I have been studying math (and data structures for programmers) the exact same way throughout my life. So many points that you mentioned are already ingrained in my head and I'm glad that I most of the times predicted what you were going to say. Postmortem analysis of why you were not able to solve the problem and why your thinking didn't reach there, trying to find the solution yourself, questioning why you were able to solve the problem and not just moving on after solving it so you could re apply that thinking in the future, connecting what you've learned to what you're learning and clearing the confusion, brainstorming on corollaries surrounding the theorem and not just being satisfied after reading the theorem itself, concentrating on not just how but "why" of what you are reading, trying to predict or derive the conclusions yourself from the information you've read until now before completely reading the text, etc., are the paths to mathematical maturity. Plus, sometimes you DO have to brainstorm on easier problems to build that base before moving on to the complex ones. For e.g., it's better to first understand why area under a curve is the antiderivative and why integral is associated with "summing" before moving on to multivariate calculus. Understanding the absolute basic things like this help build the strong concepts. It still happens to me very often. Don't just understand Dijkstra's algorithm. Understand "why" it works. Don't just understand the formula of entropy. Understand "why" the formula of entropy is the way it is before moving to anything complex in information theory. And so on. So overall, this is a FANTASTIC video and should be shared with everybody who actually wants to be good at math.

[@vishu1334]

My advice: Understand why the answer to whatever problem IS the answer. Work on proofs Try to find different ways of doing the same problem. Actually understand and imagine the problem and numbers in your mind. Let your mind be creative. Don’t restrict yourself to one method. Don’t be afraid to try a new method or a different approach out by yourself for a problem. If you come to a dead end, at least you tried something new.

[@MayJune-my2gh]

Yes, Sir. I totally agree with you. At the end of the day, it is all and all about you. Scientists/philosophers/researchers spend their time in solitude with their thoughts, let themselves contemplate the truth about various matters. Be it as simple as why does 1 plus 1 equals 2, when you realize it on your own, it will start helping you see the beauty of the subject that you want to pursue. You will start seeing the patterns/theories of what you have realized in various stuffs. You will start drawing those patterns together, and that is what makes any subject beautiful. You seeing the matter in your own perspective. Most of the times, it is about REALIZING the subject rather than just learning it. It may not be right always, but hey, science has always been a good friend of yours, it allows for mistakes to happen and lets you analyse it from the scratch. And teachers, here, play a very important role, like Sir told, in giving a more mature perspective. After all, be it any field of science, all of them are subjects based on perspectives of studies. And pure mathematics, does hold value for perspectives, approach and thoughts. While problem solving may only chisel your skills, it is, indeed YOUR INSIGHTS that will be your strength. As a person once said, scientific achievements have always taken place when one "Stops learning and Starts Thinking".

[@jatinvikram5333]

I always believed maths theory should always be learned by one’s self, when we stop relying on teacher for theory we can discover the concepts and then clear misconceptions about concept when solving problems by yourself, the ultimate formula to become a great problem solver is learn theory on your own + solve questions based on what you learn. This is what I learnt from this video thank you prof, I am 11th std student from south India

[@l.w.paradis2108]

This is SUCH great advice! I finally got good at math when I realized what, once understood, I needed to commit to memory, and what I needed to derive. It is analogous to the difference between axioms and rules of inference in advanced courses. It was also a relief to see this, finally.

[@MistyMusings-n7x]

Sir, I am a student who is just about to begin his first class of class 11 in a few days' time. Thank you so much for making these videos. As a JEE aspirant, I cannot overstate how valuable your videos have been in showing me the path I should take. Thanks to your videos, I can now avoid the study mistakes I would have done otherwise. I have a few questions: 1. I always face a problem related to competitive exams (such as Olympiads) - speed. When facing a new problem, I have a tendency to find very unoptimized, long-winded solutions which waste a lot of time (For example, my first derivation of heron's formula went on for three pages; after solving it I realised that there was an alternate solution which took only one page). No matter how much I practise, I have not been able to overcome this problem. Since unique, never before seen questions are quite common in Olympiads and such, I really struggle with time management. Is there any solution to this? 2. Besides NCERT, which book would you suggest for studying mathematics? 3. While preparing for JEE, can I have side activities like coding, playing video games/outdoor activities, etc.? Again, thank you for making these amazing videos. I am really excited of what you might bring to the table in the future! I eagerly await your response.

You are spot on 🙏 ! But.........To go deep in understanding a topic, free and relaxed mind is needed. Unfortunately, when the student comes back home (after 8 hours of school and transport), has to do useless homework for several subjects, there is hardly any time of free mind to THINK! Second, the school teachers get students to do sums from private textbooks which are of higher level or ideally should be covered in higher classes. The teacher feels proud, the more difficult sum a student can solve. This causes student to lose interest in Maths, frustration sets in and student starts hating this lovely subject.

[@aayushkakade8221]

Sir whatever you said is so true and I had tried this for 1 chapter of maths and it worked out well too, but it did more damage than gain. It took me a long time to complete this chapter because I was doing it by my own and I fell back in my coaching (specially in chem, atomic structure and periodic properties are literal backlogs now). This methodology is difficult for a coaching student. Yes my speed would significantly increase as time would pass by but till then I can gurantee that many chapters of mine would become backlogs. Coaching finishes syllabus in speed and tests stuff.

[@Prof_JC]

If you start doing this in 11th then obviously you are going to be slow and fall back. This system has to be started in High School itself so that by 11th this system gets internalized and the speed also becomes high in the correct process.

I did rely on self study quit a bit but sometimes a friend could explain certain concepts in a way that the professors didn't that made it finally click for me.

This is the real meaning of maths and everyone needs to learn that maths is not just about fast and accurate calculations ... it's moreover about the skill of analysis prediction and comprehensive critical thinking which a student must develop in early stages and as Indian maths is in out blood we just need to extract it through critical thinking (kind of overthinking on a simple problem to get complex solution or making simple solutions to complex problems ).

[@williamjayaraj9257]

I am so happy that I came across this topic that is given by you sir. Let me share my journey with the mathematics during my diploma studies in Electronics and Telecommunications in Bangalore. To start with I have to state that I could score only 41% in my high school final in 1958 that too in second attempt. Joined in the polytechnic here in 1981 ( Evening college). During the 1st year I was afraid of the maths because of my poor mark's in the school final experience. Some how the maths study was going on well because of the teacher. Still to get more deeper I bought 4 different maths books by 4 different authors and studied. This self study helped me a lot. By the time the exam came I was so confident that I will score 100% to that extent I had prepared myself. But I got only 82%. Because there was no time left to attempt all the questions though I was knowing to answer it. Among all the subjects only the Beautiful Maths gives the happiness to the mind since we don't need any one to say it is correct or not. We can know it ourselves. This I am writting at the age of 80 years as (Flsah back). Thought it will be an encouragement to those who study higher mathematics. Once again thanks for the video sir.

Respected sir I would be grateful to know your opinion on my situation. I also think the same sir, I also support self study more than anything. But not everyone can self study subject like maths. I had tried sequence and series from cengage and it took me a lot of time. That too it was good for me that coaching teachers were there to help me solve my doubts but now I dont even have a coaching and everyone knows that sequence and series is very easy. I understood that I am not capable enough to self study subject like maths. That chapter took me a lot of time and I just legit studied maths for whole study time of mine. Till 10th I spoonfed myself from those bhaiya and didis on youtube who presented the class 10th content in the simplest manner, that's why I never developed habit of book reading for maths and science. If i had chance to go back to 9th or 10th grade version of myself then I would advice him to get a theory book and just study from there atleast maths and physics even if you don't get good marks. That would've developed my visualisation skills a lot. But I do self study for physics though and it's working greatly on me. Thanks you for your insights sir!

Short Summary Title: Achieving Mathematical Maturity: Embrace Self-Study, Not Over-Reliance on Teachers Over-reliance on teachers for mathematics is counterproductive. - Relying solely on teachers for theory and examples hinders mathematical maturity. - Students need to work on solving problems independently to truly grasp mathematics. Self-study is crucial for mastering Mathematics - Mathematics requires deep self-study beyond mere practice - An ideal study approach includes teacher introduction, self-study, and problem solving Focus on understanding mathematics, not just scoring high marks. - Choose a textbook that presents theory comprehensively by subject experts. - Avoid relying solely on solving repetitive problems for proficiency in pattern matching. Active learning and critical thinking are key in studying Mathematics. - Study the theorems on your own, solve examples, and understand the explanations thoroughly. - Reproduce the theorems on paper without looking, think about implications and develop mathematical maturity. Consider solved examples as opportunities to apply knowledge of theorems. - Close the solution and think about how the theorems apply in the solved example. - Try to think about possible connections with the theorems of the previous chapters. Master easy level problems before moving to higher level problems. - Students often underestimate the importance of solving easy problems, especially when preparing for competitive exams like JEE. - Progression in mathematics requires complete proficiency in solving easy problems before attempting higher level problems or competitive exams. Treat every problem with respect and try solving it on your own before seeking solutions. - Exhaust all possibilities of tackling the problem on your own before looking at the solution. - Conduct a postmortem analysis of the solution to understand your shortcomings and improve your overall thinking and grasp of theorems. Tips for studying mathematics at a higher level - Making a full analysis of problem-solving approaches, and understanding the methods used to proceed in the right direction. - Encouraging and recognizing students who think in the proper direction and come close to the actual solution.

You make some very good points on the role of a teacher and an emphasis on self study. I am a 68 year old and not a mathematician by training but nevertheless help younger members of an extended Indian family particularly when they reach out to me before exams as they are having difficulties. It's often too late as they need more time to gain insights into topics. Recently my wives niece approached me and said that she wanted help on a number of topics like ratios and circle theorems etc. I said what is the problem and she said she can do the easy ones but not the hard ones. I explained that they are all easy but reason you find some some problems hard is that you have not gained the true insight of the subject. She was not aware of what a quadratic equation was but could factorize a quadratic expression simply by putting in the variable x in two brackets and find the appropriate numbers so that when expanded the original expression was obtained. She did not know that each bracket was a factor of the original expression until I pointed this out.

[@preethi_s_w]

Can you teach me as I need help in math

[@sajaltarofdar2484]

In my opinion, our education system seems to emphasize repetitive practice and scoring high marks over developing a deep understanding of the subject. I remember during my graduation, feeling frustrated because the structure of the coursework left little room for genuine exploration of mathematics. Instead, the focus was always on maximizing scores within limited timeframes. This creates a career dilemma, as prioritizing a deeper understanding can often mean compromising on grades, which are so crucial for advancement. I think that, although diving deep into a subject might eventually lead to a more fulfilling and innovative career, the current academic structure doesn't sufficiently value this approach, and thus, it's not the mainstream path to success.

[@karatiarya]

This video is about how to properly study mathematics, aimed at students who are transitioning from school level mathematics (up to 10th grade) to higher level mathematics (11th and 12th grade). The speaker, a professor at IIT, emphasizes the importance of self-study in achieving mathematical maturity. Here are the key points from the video: Reliance on teachers for everything is not recommended. Students should rely more on self-study to develop a deeper understanding. Pick a good textbook that focuses on explanations and comprehensive coverage of theorems, rather than just a collection of solved problems. Examples of good textbooks include NCERT books and textbooks written by university teachers. When studying a theorem, don't just read it passively. Try to understand it line by line and then try to reproduce it from memory without looking at the book. This will help solidify your understanding. After studying a theorem, think about the implications of the theorem and what possible corollaries (related theorems) could be derived from it. This will help you develop your mathematical maturity. When going through solved examples, don't just copy the solutions. Instead, try to solve them yourself first by applying the theorems you just learned. Then look at the solutions to see if your approach matches. This will help reinforce your understanding of the theorems. Don't be afraid to solve easy problems. They are important for building a strong foundation and developing problem-solving skills. Don't look at solutions to problems immediately. Try your best to solve them yourself first. Then, when you look at the solutions, analyze why you weren't able to solve them and what you can learn from the solutions. After solving a difficult problem, analyze why you were able to solve it. This will help you identify the thought processes that lead to success.

Good advices having balances between board exam preparation,IIT-JEE and actually learning mathematics.

[@debubhaumik]

Change out "reliance" with "dependence". The importance of the teacher is in the initial exposure and cadence of the concept, and what the particular concept brings to the table relative to the study of the math coursework you are in. The crucial unspoken item is "preparedness". This means how well you, the student, grasped the concepts and processes of the prerequisite math course. You may not go backward much, without harting your study of the orger subjects in the current coursework. But do all you can based on where you are. Pay attention to the postmortem process presented in the video.

[@prajaktab7010]

I agree with the facts, sir you told in recent video.

Fortunately I got an internship this summer in IITG, but now I'm afraid that my learning techniques are poor. I definitely will try this method. Thank you sir 🙏🏻

[@dalimichoudhury4572]

Where are you studying mate?

[@Imran52Feb]

As an electrical engineer I am conversant with higher maths and also attracted by modern physics . However , even though Schrodinger's Equation and the solution of his equation that explains various phenomena including the solution for explaining leaking of electrons through infinite potential barrier and the solution for the Hydrogen atom by using spherical polar coordinates ,leading to establishment of orbital and quantum nos can be understood easily, the Dirac's Electrodynamics is too abstract and a tough nut to crack. Please tell me which series of lectures explains it in a lucid manner . It is said that the SE helps for H2 atom because the velocity of the orbital electron is c/137 but Linear Algebra and Hilbert Spces are to be learnt for understanding Dirac. That part is too abstract!

It would be great if you suggest one good book of mathematics also keeping in mind IIT Jee perspective but at the same time which has theory and illustrations both and would help to learn the subject as it is and not just pattern matching..The main issue is not being able to find a relevant good book..because some books have less theory..some have more, it is all a mess...

In Philosophy, Mathematics would be referred to as "a priori" knowledge. Knowledge that is inherently within each person. 🐧🍏🍎💙

[@mintonmiller]

There should a different first step. One cannot do mathematics well until arithmetic skills are honed. The die is mostly cast before the fifth grade. After that , it becomes a struggle that makes one feel a bit like Sisyphus.

[@Prof_JC]

You are absolutely right. There is a such a thing as fluency in the basic arithmetical skills. Unless that is there, it is pointless to talk about such big things. In the video, the target audience is slightly older students, and I am assuming that they do have the requisite fluency.

Hello sir, I've chosen pcm for 11th grade this year, and your videos are very helpful, i am doubtful i might not score well in boards in maths, but that was because of exam fear and time pressure, though i love maths as a subject i don't understand why while solving it in exam i fail to score well

[@abhishekmondal5551]

Thank you professor

[@Nandan-ty6qf]

Hello sir, I totally understand all the points you mentioned and I think they're all valid. Self study can indeed prove to be very beneficial in improving your ability to think critically. But I have some questions: a. What books do I refer? I think NCERT is indeed good but then Its definitely, for sure, not capable of training a person's brain and making him capable of attempting advanced questions, or perhaps even Mains questions considering how hard they are these days, yes, they can clear out the basics very well but they're definitely not enough material for advanced (even for theory). b. About teachers, I did try studying math by myself, I used Cengage books, I don't know if the books are good enough (which leads me back to the previous question), but yes I did try studying them, I looked at the solved examples and found out that in every other solved example, a different method is used to solve a question which induced a lot of confusion in me and I failed to solve questions. BUT BUT BUT, when I referred to Mohit Tyagi sir's videos, my entire perspective towards that chapter changed, I was able to solve Questions that I couldn't even think of being able to attempt, and all that credit solely goes to Mohit Tyagi sir's teaching. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon? c.Aboit the part when you said we need to think of the theorems ourselves before looking at the proofs, but personally, as a dropper (targetting jee adv 2025), I don't think I have enough time for that, instead of trying to think of new ways to prove theorems, isn't it just better to think of new ways to solve a particularly difficult question? If I'm wrong, please correct me and please suggest some ways for me to manage my time more effectively 🙏. Thank you sir, waiting for your reply 😁.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Greetings to you professor from Guyana. I really do appreciate your take on the study of math but how do you explain that after a few weeks of learning the concepts they are forgotten? One has to go back to the examples to retrace some steps after which the procedure will slowly 'comes back'. Is that 'learning' in the first place? Secondly, what would be your recommendation of the best math textbooks for self study? I know you said here you aren't giving any names of textbooks but I am kindly asking you to pick out a few of the all time staples. Thanks.

[@rida.shaheen]

Sir, my problem is- in doing all the things which you have mentioned in this video, while studying it takes a lot of time to complete just one chapter and then I fall behind my coaching or my schedule. So how can we overcome this problem sir ? Should we just skip the thinking process in some questions?

[@grey698]

There is no perfect way. Instead try to follow your own schedule and let coaching be a help rather than a remote control that decides your moves. Since your goal is to score well in the exam. Focus on problem solving rather than coaching mock tests and homework. They are merely a pill for you to be disciplined in your studies. Step 1: wake up early. 6 am is fine. Step 2: sleep early 10-11pm Step 3: Joining a coaching does not make you smart solve school books first . If they are solvable. Like you look at them and can feel the calculation happening in your brain good job now you can move to the next step. Step 4: get out of your comfort zone and revise coaching notes mildly before going to bed. Just read and lightly solve.mark doubts.kick introvertedness aside. Step 5: solve jee mains easy questions from a book/module or KZbin pyq of that current ongoing chapter in your coaching. Before going to coaching!! Just do 5 questions. Let's say u have two classes today physics and maths Do 10 questions HCV of phy ch and 10 questions maths of that ch or just do the questions from your last day's notes. Step6: ignore immoral comments by coaching teachers. "If you cannot do this stop preparing for jee!" "You can happily leave our coaching!" "I will complain to your parents!" Stop listening, hum a song,do a personal karaoke,talk to a friend when you feel depressed. Don't give up but pause and take a chill pill. Step 7: One way focus is not good. Research about other exams like ugee,ipmat,Jamia,amu,cuet DU,NEST,IAT...only check out their pyq and level up according to that. Step 8: Be casual. Don't compare. think openly. Don't watch one shot videos. Don't open KZbin or whatsapp it keeps your mind fresh trust me. Rather do a hobby like drawing,calligraphy,painting,wwalking, gardening! Step 9: You are smart dude. You are loved dude. You are kind dude. You are powerful!
