Pro Tip: Don’t Get Behind

[@FourierOpticsWow]

What you described about being late on homework is extremely relatable. On my part, it's crazy how being late in courses compared to other people can create an imposter syndrome. One semester I decided to take it easy and everything was done at the last second. I remember classmates talking about the classes and me being simply clueless because I had spent 0 time on the subject and they had studied it for hours. When I finaly got on the subject, I was in such a rush that I could not think rationnaly and could not learn it fully and enjoy it so overall I understood less then the others. In a competitive bachelor's where everyone is very performance aware and driven, this creates a very displeasant feeling.

Watching this while behind on my functional analysis homework instead of doing it

[@user-sc5gr8zr3q]

It’s way easier to keep up/stay ahead with a head start. Trying to learn as much about a course before it starts and attempting to maintain a “lead” in content coverage throughout the duration of the course gives one an edge. Prudence in this regard provides a nice buffer in the event that time, energy, etc. becomes constrained. Additionally, prior exposure to content endows one with a sort of cognitive scaffolding upon which additional instruction may be placed. Such intellectual priming imo expedites mastery and understanding, as the foundations and cognitive architecture for the given area of study have already been developed.

True but you can always catchup during the weekends... That's what I always do I built my self a system to get to speed 😂 nothing is worse than doing other things knowing full well you have complex surfaces to dissect...

[@strikeemblem2886]

Ahh "catching up during the weekends"... the lie that I tell myself every Friday. Props to you for sticking to it though

[@gauss2.718]

@@strikeemblem2886 If you can't catch up on the weekend you can always catch up during the holidays

Watching this after messing around all semester and getting far behind in every single course I'm taking. And it's 2:50 am. I'm going to bed, watching this later.

Please do a video on: Find a 1:1 F RxR into the R. I think it would be a fun exercise...

[@danielfonseca7356]

It seems that in your final covering argument you should have a double sum. A sum for term of the function and a sum for covering.

I don't know about the university you're at, but my university is on the quarter system and I swear to god it is hell for STEM as far as I'm aware man. I just always perform worse in my spring quarter classes because I need a break so fucking bad, the last half of the spring quarter is just fucking agony

[@lugia8888]

I preferred the quarter system because classes would be done sooner. The other people in my PhD program didn’t have a preference but near the end they felt quarters were better so they could have more diversity of classes to teach.

[@ProfessorNoobster]

Ha, I can feel this. My last laser physics hw was a complete dumpster fire. Oh well, finals are next week so I don't care.

[@philippryb5794]

That ink looks tight 🖋️ 👍

[@kastkle6383]

watching this after i finished the latest hw assignment feels great

“If I don’t start now then this video will be like 30 minutes” _28 minutes_ Acceptable. Jk, love your videos, the longer the better.

Why the intersection of H^-_t(e) is set of |v| < rho(e_min)?

[@raphaelteng2344]

I've been staring at it for like fifteen minutes and still don't get it

[@notrealjohnny5399]

I play catchup all the time, and I am not in school yet. ;-;

[@jakubzielinski1983]

Today's been my (18M) last day in high school, 11 days before our matura exams will start (that's the polish equivalent of SAT). I have done basic analysis, metric spaces, topology, multivariable calculus. Currently I'm refreshing my knowledge in linear algebra and doing my courses in complex analysis, functional analysis and measure theory. After that I'm planning to do analytic number theory (both multiplicative and additive), group theory and perhaps even more stuff. I'm doing it mainly because I simply enjoy it (without the unnecessary stress, exams and all the dues). Moreover, I'd consider this a right precaution - to do well when the classes in Fall will start. Am I falling behind?

[@iwack]

Yes, by a large margin. If you wanted to truly succeed and perform at your best ability (like I did) then you should've learnt analysis at 7 or 8. Typically younger it's a bit too obtuse for the child, I found.

[@bangbangliu2146]

ideally you'd want your fields medal before entering year 10 but you still have time before you graduate high school

[@FGC_Jules]

out the womb you should have known everything there ever is to know, catch up slowpoke

[@bruhe8895]

You should have learned all these topics before the age of 3, not sure what's caused you to learn these so late but you are behind

[@aimsmathmatrix]

Massively. You should have had a triple PhD in applied maths, particle physics and some pure maths already.

[@HubbMed]

many such cases.

Mr. Struggling Grad student, how would I go about contacting you?

[@BlueMushroomSmurfCat]

What’s the point of getting a PhD unless you want to really research a topic that has puzzled you that you are interested in

[@edgaredgar154]

Too late now

[@pichirisu]

Ngl math logic/proofs are extremely boring and limiting. As a math student I still prefer philosophical logic and plain language because of how much more clearly it’s able to explain itself and the situation.

[@o0QuAdSh0t0o]

Yeah, CS major here, taking Algorithm Analysis. Very Proof heavy and very draining..

[@BlueMushroomSmurfCat]

That’s why physics is better

[@pichirisu]

@@BlueMushroomSmurfCat nah stats is better than both sorry

[@KurtGodel-po3zl]

Pure math isn't for everyone. There are plenty of people who settle with stats, philosophy, physics etc.

[@BlueMushroomSmurfCat]

@@pichirisu haha 😂
