Grant Sanderson is the real goat. I was very frustrated having to learn all this calculus formulas, but when I saw his essence of calculus series. I could really appreciate what I was learning and made learning fun .

Saving comment for later*

[@skydivenext]

yeah my teacher from engineer did very stupid classes in calc 1 he did not explain anything just said learn from this formulas and then when on exam barely passing, then I needed to explain things and defining with proof when he never explained anything I failed my first time then in the second time I just memorized the proof(he put againg the same question)lol and barely passed Learned the hard way and know I self taught

[@dirtyduck6987]

Also something i learned is that fully understanding a subject and much more advanced math topics won't save you from being brain dead when answering exam questions. No matter how well you understand the subject you are going to make obvious mistakes and perform badly sometimes.

[@admiral7599]

That's the problem with exams imo, have 1 trick question on it or encounter something you don't know how to solve, and suddenly you have a failing or subpar grade on it. Part of the reason why I hate schools but it is what it is.

​@@admiral7599 damn actually I'm the exact same, (mostly) all my mistakes in my exams are just dumb things like not converting from m/h to m/s or stuff like that, I think it comes from the pressure I feel during the exam but the really annoying thing is that I have no idea how to fix it.

[@d4rya38]

A few years ago I did the same exact things you said but it was still not enough for me to get the full picture, Untill I found an MIT course named Calculus Revisited: Single Variable Calculus, it has literally everything you need to understand the subject, Visuals, how to solve problems ( the easy ones you find by mechanically doing them and the hard ones that requires a lot of thinking ), and more importantly it gives proofs for every single formula, not handwavy proofs but actual rigorous proofs with visuals too. The course was brutally hard but it is totally worth it, if you actually wanna learn and understand the subject fully there is no better course than that course.

I always find it weird when I hear people saying they struggle to understand their textbooks and teachers, like hello this is the 21st century? Use the internet! I taught myself most of the mathematics that I know entirely online and for free. Shout out to Grant, he helped me tremendously with his calculus and linear algebra series. Also I strongly recommend Eddie Woo channel, really helped me with algebra and trig and many other things.

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

The internet is such a fantastic tool. I went from an average math student to a 12-year-old who asked my algebra teacher to give me calculus problems within a few years. Now, I am in Calc 2 at university, and it is super easy because I have had the foundation for years.

[@angusclark6170]

I did a similar learning style. Started with 3b1b, didn't understand the specifics at all but understood what calculus was trying to achieve. Watched it again a few years later, coupled with some black pen red pen. barely understood the stuff I was watching. Found some funny math sketches by flammable maths and watched a bunch of his videos. Didn't understand it. Rewatched the 3b1b series again. Finally understood it because of all the black pen red pen I watched. slowly diverged into watching more sources such as dr peyam and prof leonard. Discover maths 505 and learn a bunch of advanced integration (barely understand it). Become kinda competent at calculus.

i means i’m doing calculus in high school but all i’m doing is to learn how to do the integral of this or that functions. I have to admit that i dont know wtf i’m doing but you have to do these kinds of problems to do well on the tests. I know that i havent really learnt anything about calculus when there was a calculus-based physic problem and i have no idea what the teacher really said. I want to understand calculus but dont know where to begin. Maybe some sources for me to find my knowledge holes. Any recommendation?…

Questions, How can I understand Maxwell's equations if I can't even read them? How are the trig functions calculated (I know I can use a calculator, I mean what's the function behind it) ? If I have a conceptual idea for a new neural network architecture that might take the space of a paperback book to explain with words, how do I express it with calculus as a nifty one liner? If I want to design a electronic circuit to be an analog computer processor and only understand basic circuits, but also know that circuit A effects circuit B , and B effects A , then add in the rest of the alphabet to the power of 100 where everything effects everything and I want to calculate what effects have a negative feedback on unwanted effects and positive on wanted effects, how do I make a calculus formula to calculate the space of (10^100)! possible states of equilibrium as a formula with with a small number of answers without having to recursively illiterate through the whole series for a longer time than the lifespan of the universe? Obviously 'e' is involved somewhere.. What more is there to basic algebra besides just doing the same thing to each side of the equals sign? Those are just a few of my basic questions...
