Triple major... math, physics and chemistry. That's the most impressive thing I've heard

[@TheMathSorcerer]

I know it's so badass lol. There are a a lot of really hardcore people who hang out on this channel.

[@JesusIsMySaviorILoveJesus]

If I were capable, I would. That would be ideal but don’t think I’d have the mental strength to do so.

[@TheSnakeEyezz]

Agreed! I almost fell of my chair when I heard that. What an impressive feat!

[@highviewbarbell]

I want to do that so bad but I did poorly in high school and it's my first semester at community college but I'm 30 and evolved a lot since then I learned how to learn and think maybe I could do it

[@nataaalia]

@@highviewbarbell im sure you can! If you are passionate and put in the work!

[@SarveshKumar-0707]

You are a person who inspires many students (like me:) to the imagine and visualize the beauty of Mathematics in real life ♥️.

[@tethyn]

Dust jacket to the books is like the album cover to the record. The beauty is in the first and the substance is in the second. Great video. I have thought about going back to get masters in mathematics.

[@davidtorres718]

Thank you so much for this video! I am about to finish my first semester as an undergrad in computer science. You totally changed my perspective on math (and hard subjects in general) as I realized it's normal to struggle and just not getting it the first time. However, looking back, I'm really proud of the progress I've made and all the effort I put in. Now, I can easily manage certain topics that at first seemed super obscure and confusing. There's still a lot to learn but I'm slowly getting there. To anyone out there, you've got this! Just keep working and failing and getting up back again. It's all part of the process.

[@alid9519]

Dude i really feel what you’re saying. Math sorcerers videos are really inspiring. Im in 6th semester Computer Science right now and trust me it‘ll really get better. My major learning process came in 5th semester 😂. Prior i really had no grasp of the bigger picture. Keep it up dude!

[@seraiahdaniella3755]

I enjoy this channe immensely! Because of you, Math Sorcerer, I have developed a new found love of math 😅 I used to detest it and now I look forward to all your videos. I'm studying the basics to get into machine learning so I went ahead and got the "Ace Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1" book you recommended. Thank you!

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Thank you:)

[@Sleir_]

your excitement is refreshing and reminds me to do my best, thanks both jerry and our sorcerers

[@TheMathSorcerer]

[@Titanic_shirohige]

i am in high school and your videos keep my inspiration up every day. keep up the good work

[@SeemaYadav-io4qt]

My favourite subject is mathematics

[@TheMathSorcerer]

that's awesome:)

Hi! I am a junior in high school. I very much enjoy watching your channel! You inspire me to go into stem. I would love if I could study physics! Please keep up these amazing videos.

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Thank you so much for this comment:)

[@EricFirst]

Johns Hopkins has Applied and Computational Mathematics Masters through their Engineering Professionals program. Solid program with some great professors!

[@discotecc]

Ive been buying some books recently because of this channel. I just have a bs in Computer Science and am currently working an intellectually dull job, I get a lot of enjoyment out of studying math in my free time. I recently rebought Concrete mathematics, CLRS algorithms, Linear algebra done right

[@jongxina3595]

Recently finished LADR and it was a dope book.

[@KMMOS1]

I am tempted to suggest that you appoint yourself chairman of the curriculum committee at your own virtual university, then assign yourself to write your own continuing curriculum for the academically addicted as an aid for professional perspective. Math is a huge subject matter; happy exploring.

[@douglasstrother6584]

I'd figure that the mathematics associated with phase transitions & Bose-Einstein condensates would be sufficiently challenging.

[@pinklady7184]

I can't stop drooling over your books in the background. I could eat them. 🤤🤤

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Lol!

[@ariston111]

Do you have a link to the thumbnail for this video? Truly amazing!

[@chrisbryant600]

The video mentioned Texas A&M and University of West Florida. A couple that I found while researching math/comp sci graduate programs. Indiana State University, University of Houston, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Columbia University, University of Washington, John Hopkins University. I'm starting Texas A&M Commerce in the fall for comp sci. I know that program can be completed via distance. They do have graduate courses in math via distance but I'm not sure if the full degree can be done that way.

[@twenty-fifth420]

1:15 Huh, I know that word actually unironically. I am considering self-teaching myself math for algorithms but my budget is free and I now have a bias against academia to put it very, *very* nicely. I am learning programming but I have a passion for story telling and making games more then the math side of it. But I wouldn't deny, functional proofs and math as well algorithms sounds very, VERY fun to experiment. (If you know about Lambda Calculus and the adjacent theory of computation, I am sure you can infer on my curiosity lol) Also, I think I heard/saw a math channel on here that was 2k for algebra that I think looks and sounds like you. Confirming if that is you, 'Epic Algebra' = The Math Sorcerer is true? lol. I got to squeeze in logic somehow, but if it is, subbed there too!

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

That tea time sounds awesome, wish we have it here, I love tea regardless the topic lol.

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Yeah I should have gone more, I only went a few times:/

[@raymeester7883]

I have been in the UK. They definitely love their tea.

[@skaus2184]

If he's working at a university, surely he could do his masters through them. The Open University is a potential option too.

[@spuriustadius5034]

More power to the OP who wants to get an MS in math even though they already got a PHD in physics. BUT... a PHD is terminal degree. They've shown they can "do the work" (especially if it's physics). No one is going to be further impressed with credentials beyond that. Moreover it's totally possible for physicists to just focus their research into mathematical topics (by the same token mathematicians can also focus themselves into physics topics, no extra credentials required!). Ultimately, the OP has to decide what's right for themselves. IMHO, anything beyond a PHD seems very close to "degree collecting" rather than pure interest and exploration.

[@k2___2]

What's up math sorcerer, currently in undergrad for mechanical engineering, and need two more classes for my mathematics minor. I'm curious about what you think about Methods of applied math classes because I am considering Methods of Applied Math I and II, any input? Need some advice to tackle this along with engineering classes!

[@leeming1317]

LOL I love how excited you get over dust covers! hahahaha

[@pavanprajapati3650]

This ai guy looks so real

[@TheMathSorcerer]

LOL

[@tannermontgomery8177]

Hello Mr. Sorcerer, I am an undergrad in mathematics from Oklahoma. I'm 22 and currently working full time while going to school online. I'd like to stay working because I have a family to provide for and I desperately want to pursue a PhD in math. Do you know if there are any PhD programs online?

[@franciscodanieldiazgonzale2096]

As it is already mentioned below: Columbia University, University of Washington in Seattle, John Hopkins University, MS Applied Maths. There will be another one very very soon by Boulder? I think. I am not able to find anything MS online in pure Maths, apart from Open University and their modules in Analytic Number theory following the book by Apostol.

[@franciscodanieldiazgonzale2096]

Before they were banned from Coursera and EdX, several Russian Universities offered few modules that mirrored some for credit ones from on campus Masters in Maths.

[@lorenzovalerio6151]

I recently got a B- in my real analysis class. Although I know it's not the worst grade, I was expecting better... I don't know if this is going to affect my chances of getting into a phd program in a very negative way (I'm still a sophomore in college). Has anyone had a similar experience? Math Sorcerer's comment section is always full of amazing people!

[@davidwebster4793]

[@leeming1317]

Go get em Jerry!

[@vbw1384]

I am fairly new to your channel, so please forgive me if this has been covered in a previous video: what is your opinion on the Saxon Math program, specifically Calculus. Thank you.

[@c.b.6582]

I used Saxon math in middle school, and it was a good program. I've briefly checked out the Advanced Mathematics, Algebra 3 and Calculus books. They're ok but their are also better options, specifically for Calculus.

[@jsusbdndk1362]

I'm also very interested in master in mathematics after finishing my undergrad (3 years left). I've been looking at some online and traditional degrees and have been wondering, what major differences are there in doing it online vs traditionally? And which one would be better?

[@christianwilborn4620]

Isolation vs other minds to query in real time. Measuring the level of distraction between the two routes is something I find important, and that’s based on a variety of personal factors. I’m an advocate of a majority of a learning experience being one with a higher percentage of physical contact along with a percentage of isolated study via books/online library. Of course the things I’ve listed all have their complexities with what you’re able to utilize. That I’ll leave the thinking for you to ponder on. Focusing more on everything you’re currently enrolled in should be your prime though in my humble unprofessional opinion.

[@SeemaYadav-io4qt]

I liked your videos

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Thank you my friend:)

[@alan6747]

do math sorcerer's read philosophy of mathematics? or do you just study math? I would like to get an idea of how important is philosophy of mathematics for people that are actually in the math world.

[@samurnin]

Online MS in Math at Emporia State where I'm a student.

[@kokwahtan8577]

3 undergraduate degree!!!!! .. at same time !!?? ..or... it will takes 12 yrs to complete all 3 degree.!! I assume he did it all the 3 degree at same time. Mad!!! 12 to 15 hrs study a day for 4 yrs.

[@sehrishmehboob597]

Sir please suggest subjects for preparation of Master math?

[@_seventh_son]

Its not even worth it at that point. Its best he focuses on exactly what he wants out of math, e.g. do you wish to learn certain math ideas to apply to your research in physics? Or just learn new math? Either way Im sure this dude would have no problem learning on his own what they would teach him in a masters degree just based on his achievements. I do have a question for you math sorcerer. Im on the opposite spectrum where i want to make a career out of applied math but i cant afford university so i decided to just learn myself. Do you know of any mathematicians that are self taught and still managed to make a career in math?

[@rajnikantsinha2636]

The actual ordering of the three subjects Math, Physics, Chemistry are the following: First of all, give at least 15 thousand hours to Mathematics. Then give 20 thousand hours to Physics. Finally, devote 10 thousand hours to Chemistry. Only then you will become a genuine scientific modern human being.

[@jloiben12]

Johns Hopkins has a good online math masters. I think they only have an applied math online masters but that should be fine for these purposes

[@VidaBlue317]

Hey where's that bird that was on your shoulder once?

[@mahmoodhaithami1142]

I wonder if he can join the master program at his university that he is working in!? Why not?

[@robg4472]

University of Washington has an applied math masters.

[@TwinkieTerror]

Are people able to come to your library to study maths? Or is it just personal?

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Oh that would be interesting, what an interesting idea!!! It's just my office area yeah.

Is he on a tenure track? Doing stuff outside his research could affect his ability to earn tenure if he is seen as less than committed to physics.. if he has the bandwidth amazing but don’t advertise your other interest until after you are up for tenure.
