Just got an A in proofs. Headed to real analysis. Been watching you for years, on my journey to become a math teacher, thanks Math Sorcerer.

[@thomasbates9189]

That's awesome!

[@thesunnydk]

I am a medical doctor in the UK recently graduated from medical school and I am studying mathematics part time at a local uni while working full time as a clinician. I really encourage any other clinicians out there who are thinking of pursuing mathematics to go ahead. It will be challenging but it is worth it. It is a completely different thinking skill compared to medicine and I am sure it will be beneficial especially if you are interested in academic medicine. I think it is a shame that medicine, being a STEM subject, has almost no maths training.

[@legendreflects982]

W hope you succeed in your journey!

[@steventhepig3173]

Strength 💪🏾

[@sj4695]

Can I ask which uni

[@Greekr123]

I am a medical doctor who used to be an engineer. I'm trying to relearn math and i really enjoy the abstract algebra book by Saracino and your Udemy course. You make it look like learning is a game. You're inspiring, keep up the good work. All the best from Canada!

[@douglasstrother6584]

I recommend going "Old School". Dive into good ol' Geometry: pencil, compass, straightedge; spirals & conic sections. Go full-throttle "Vitruvian Man"!

[@ussdfiant]

I am a physician with med school well behind me. Currently self studying my way through Algebra for the college student by Blitzer and Hammack’s Book of Proof.

[@TinyMaths]

Thanks for the book recommendation; I'm glad it's a PDF. Been working through a few calc problems daily so it's time to add 'one' daily proof problem in the mix.

[@dhickey5919]

Thank you, Math Sorcerer. Math proofs are as important to critical thinking as the alphabet is to learning to read. It should be essential knowledge in a modern world.

[@JoeyV115]

I'm doing what I think I can do prepare for real analysis ontop of doing research this summer. It is overwhelming, and I'm worried sick over the fact I will completely flunk this class. The jump in logic from an intro to proofs class to real analysis seems to be quite the jump. Wish my luck haha, thanks again Morcerer for another great video!

[@angrycat2789]

I stopped my math journey for a while. I'm retaking it with book of proof, Im just a bit over half of chapter 1 doing almost all exercises, I'm enjoying it so far. Also, I'm feeling rusty on derivatives and integrals so I'm reading that book your recommended on differential equations (nagle, saff, snider). Thank you.

[@Taylor-rx4yb]

Great video! My first advanced calc course didn't have a book, but I used Understanding Analysis by Abbott. It was a great help and I would really recommend it. Now the second semester of advanced calc did follow Fitzpatrick for the multidimensional stuff. I have not looked at that for a while now, but I recall it being nice (despite having a relatively poor professor). I made the poor decision of taking the grad level algebra course before the undergrad one (which has been ok in the long run but was hard then) so I don't have undergrad books for that. However, it is a good lesson to learn to not bite off more than you can chew. It can make you stronger sometimes but it requires pain.

[@V3NK47]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@walterloehrmann5213]

Thanks. Got the book of proof pdf for free. Very nice project.

[@georgesadler7830]

Thank you for the video.

[@dericquebarnett6571]

my friend, you rock!!

[@julianwilson9919]

Great video and advice! If the email writer or anyone else is interested in learning mathematics on top of their medical studies, another option (one of many) would be to study applied math. All kinds of topics from differential equations for mathematical biology/physiology to Fourier analysis (say for signal and image processing) could be of interest. Good luck!

[@83jbbentley]

Wizard, just a few days away from the start of another semester. I’m taking the max class load and trying to petition to get more. If I’m not taking maths I get bored and feel no sense of enjoyment asides my garden.

[@shiminglu3940]

Also you can find the requirements for a math degree from a top university, they will have open source outlines. Try to dive into it, there may contain some recommended textbooks to read. It may be beneficial to you : )

[@davidhamelehh]

if you pass real analysis and abstract algebra you can pass everything. hardcore classes (and, if you have an hardcore teacher... thats gg's)

[@hemberry_]

huge thanks, i choose maths as my second degree alongside medicine (you get into medicine only by choosing two degrees in france, a bit tough to be honest) I'm just horrible at writing proofs and I have an exam on that, this book is really useful

[@dumbfrog123]

Learn set theory before delving into proofs; it will make your life 10 times easier. That has been my experience.

[@nigerianking3313]

How can learn how to do mathematics for the first because I not good at it I failed my college class three i reall feel bad I pass at all please 🙏 help me why I’m trying to earn my degree in medical lab technician 🧑🏽‍🔬

[@amorfati4559]

Are there subjects that have a slightly lower barrier to entry than abstract algebra, or is this path you've laid out the best way to go about seriously studying math? I ask because I am currently learning proof writing, and some more discrete math, and I see things like graph theory, which seem relatively new, and I think it would be really cool to be able to look at a math journal on something like graph theory or combinatorics and understand the current state of what the thinkers in these topics are currently working on.

[@ronaldjorgensen6839]

what are path prerequisite isolate proof function sets /of temporary variables in an active energetic systems?linear voided limits often in wave systems as per ranging of density waves functions @low frequency even sonic 4 now

[@OpenQuant]

Thanks for the recap. If you're looking for a practical application to finance, I'd consider a career in quantitative finance. Our channel helps you get started with such a path. Best of luck!

[@adityaphybhu]

I love Mathematics. I love it because help me to think beyond the scope of this world. I studied theoretical physics but deeply frustrated with it as there is lot effort to approximate with reality. Mathematics is not like that. It need not satisfy anyone. It's only thing where you can do something which need not be the part of this world at all and still physicist use it later stage in there research. I still feel I did a mistake to study physics and I should have done Mathematics. I hope in my early 40's I can do some contribution.

[@ImranDirkhan]

Hi Sir! Do you have a course on an introduction to topology? If not, please make one. I'll be thankful. I've already purchased three of your courses from Udemy.

[@JohnDoe-kh3hy]

👍

[@mathsmachinelearning1885]

Talking about different types of math... what if I say to you that I know how to prove the fundamental theorem of linear algebra or the intermediate value theorem but I do not have any idea about how to integrate the simplest function in the world? I am a self learner and the only maths that I have learned are proof base maths. I do not like learning formulas that I do not understand in order to solve problems or derivatives or integrals. Should I learn that type of maths also? I have the feeling that they are not worth my time...

[@mitchellhayman381]

Appreciate you professor

[@FriazKhalil]

Hello, can you help me? I learn mathematics from a phone as well as from the book Algebra 1. I mean, I learn this rule from KZbin, then I solve that rule on the book Algebra 1. Is this a correct way? Nor should I rely on a book

[@dumbfrog123]

Search for the Regents Examination in Algebra I test on Google and test yourself using past exams. If you can get 50% or more correct, then you are doing well.

[@FriazKhalil]

@@dumbfrog123 thanks you very much.

[@jidrit999]

i like pinter algebra. self study book

[@omarashraf1713]

Where I can find math sorcerer email?

[@byrnman]

What book for proof writing do you think is best then?

[@benb8336]

I believe he has a video about his preferred books for proof writing

[@SaidThoughts]

Cannot help but imagine he at least briefly had a 10 year old thought regarding (Intimidated by the size) He is a Sorcerer after all.

[@stabroghinvsevolodovici8814]

It s too late at 21 to learn math from zero? I want to become an expert in math and physics until 30? Any opinions?

[@julianwilson9919]

Never too late to learn mathematics! Just go for it!

[@Anuranjana5656]

No, 21 ,30 or 50 it's never too late...if you have will to learn, have enough time ,grasp the concept no one can stop you from learning anything.

[@deeppen8084]

Not to late lad i 26 years old and still learn prealgebra

[@jamesmclean5790]

How you approach your goal in mathematics will determine how far you go and how long it takes. I had an instructor who was teaching Calculus 3 at 26 years of age. I’m a math teacher and despite decades of experience in math, I continue to learn wonders in number theory, algebra, geometry… and these are generally considered elementary subjects. The world of mathematics became exciting to me however after I learned how to properly prepare a proof. This skill opens your mind to absorb information in an accelerated pace. So approach your subjects with the intent in understanding them so that you can explain it in your words or from another angle. When you can do that, you’re ready to take the next step. It is incredibly time-consuming. But when you’ve laid your foundation properly, building your math knowledge is most rewarding and less of a struggle.

[@MushiSaad1]

No at all lol, I suggest you use Khan academy
