Thanks for the very encouraging words, man! I failed a numerical analysis course in college and never recovered from it. I dropped out and ever since then, I have felt like the biggest failure. However, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I have tried to be objective about it. I have decided to go back and retake that class, and I hope to ace it this time, with God's help!

"I didn't even know what pull it out meant it was just completely mind-blowing" listen I think we've all been there when the math is just so good

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

I think this needs to be acknowledged more. Even the brightest of students can get stuck and need some time to re-evaluate. Unfortunately college is all about "either go fast, or suffer extreme financial strain". The amount of people willing to help is abysmally small. College should be a place of learning, not processing students. When I was a student (CS and Mathematics) the teaching assistents were far and few between, making it infeasible for them to offer anything but superficial support. Professors wouldn't even care or have time to react to emails. We even had a course with a 50% passing rate called "A general introduction to mathematics" that had the professor claim people with a failed mid-term should re-consider their studies. It's disgusting how little empathic college is sometimes and how unwilling we are to offer even the littlest of leeway.

[@randyevermore9323]

Wise words indeed. Another aspect of learning that has long baffled me is the emphasis on competition in school settings. Why must learning be a competitive sport? This competitive aspect seems to take the joy out of learning for many people, myself included.

Mental illnesses ruled my life for the most part where the first half went in destigmatising the impact the second half went in reaching out to people (Mental health experts) which was obviously rockier than I expected and now back into life and mathematics trying to rebuild a life that once felt lifeless, i feel more livelier than I have in years... sometimes life really sucks the daylights out of you and you begin to hate every bit of your existence, to all those people out there working on smth be it Mathematics, personal growth or just trying to put your shit together to get through the days, cheers to you!! We r in this together!!!! Lets seize the day🎉 #CarpeDium

[@klimentbassev8866]

I very much resonate with this. Studying electrical engineering, I’m going to need an extra year to graduate, because I failed numerous courses. However, I’ve not given up yet and I’m starting to feel my knowledge improving every day. Thank you, for these wise words. It feels good to hear from someone else that you aren’t a failure for striking out the first time. ❤

[@y00t00b3r]

taking an extra year will serve you well in the long run. you get the chance for the material to really "soak in". Also consider: people getting straight A's aren't really getting their money's worth. If you are doing that well, you aren't being challenged. If you are doing poorly in some classes, but not in others, you are probably exactly where you need to be. In athletics, dance and martial arts, you always start out in a 'failing state', and practice until you get good. But somehow this concept is missed in academics. The ideal is to shoot for mastery on the first try. This model is broken. The person who gets a "C" average through the entirety of university is someone who demonstrates the ability to consistently progress through challenging material, gaining ability with every step, with little recognition or reinforcement.

[@georgetubb9124]

[@SluggEU]

Great video. I’m currently having major issues with anxiety outside of studying math which is hurting my study a lot. It’s really stressful, and bad timing for sure.

Dude. This is the video I needed right now. Going through very hard times, never been more defeated than now. Thanks for giving me some strength, even tho I never seen you before and my problems not related to math

[@ahmedabbas3998]

Math strengthens the brain as it exercises it but too much of it could burn the brain. One needs to moisten it from time to time with philosophy and literature.

[@JamesLaFleur]

In my experience, sometimes you just have to give your brain time to get to grips with new ideas or difficult problems. You take a break and perhaps let it sink in for a few days. The subconscious seems to continue to deal with it. And when you try again, things often go better.

[@TheSolidheroes]

Best comment here. I think your correct about new ideas/problems having to sink in, it’s like your brain needs time to adjust itself to attack/work out the problems your working on.

[@KorlinAng-bs7rh]

When I encounter problems in Mathematics, the first thing I do is to try to identify the problem, namely why I got it wrong. Usually, I try to work on similar problems, maybe some simpler or some harder ones to fully size up my wrong understanding. Simply put, knowing what I don't understand. Next, how to overcome the challenge? Talk to some like-minded people, not that someone is able to help you, but it helps off load the stress build up in your mind. By talking frequently about it, the difficulty becomes clearer. Finally, fixing the problem. Find some related books to read, not the book that gave the probl3m. This is especially helpful with easier books. Not only to rebuild your confidence in the subject, but also to chance upon something that I might have overlook. Doing the problem differently will be another step in the right direction.

[@bvds2007]

So true. Not everyone has the opportunity or fortune of having taken all pre-requisites in the linear order assumed by a teacher or author, and this an really throw you off too. The right time often comes later, when you've absorbed more knowledge or had a chance to digest the bigger picture.

[@trumanburbank6899]

Some days, I'm more dumb than others. Some days, I can see an algebraic expression and extract the variable I want in my head, and then another day I can't do it and have to take it step by step. I've learned not to fight it. Whatever my capability is on a particular day, or inability, I just go with it. One could stress over it, but there's no use in that, just do the best you can whatever that day gives you. A big reason for my variability in ability is how well I slept that night.

[@amosnyirenda2570]

I have to agree with what you are saying. Sometimes things just don't work out. With the help of time and the never give up attitude, things work out. Very wise words Prof.

[@acid_lich9337]

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for posting this video. I'm back in school finally finishing the degree I started back in 2008. I have epilepsy & a concussion during a seizure in late 2009 made finishing school impossible for me then. Normally I'm pretty good at math but when I have frequent seizures, I have a harder time reading, focusing & often experience dyscalculia. In fact, even thinking too hard can give me a seizure when it gets bad. I was so scared to go back despite always continuing to be thoroughly fascinated with mathematics. This last January I started school again & I was very successful until this term. Something about the fall makes the epilepsy flare & I made a choice to try to take three 400 level math classes this term, not really taking that seriously enough. About a week ago I withdrew from one of my classes. I suspect I'm not only going to pass the other two but probably end up with a reasonable grade in both but nevertheless it feels like defeat. Algebra is one of my very favorite subjects, I spent my whole summer off watching videos on Ring theory. Today in particular I've been feeling really down about it because it feels too close to what happened in 2009. Seeing this video helped a lot! There will be other times for me to study abstract algebra.

[@sebastiangomez6932]

All I have to say is thank you so much I needed to hear this. I'm doing horrible in calc 2 and basically gonna fail the class, but you gave me hope to try again next semester thank you!

Your enthusiasm for math is almost contagious. Probably one of the few non-harmful infections. I discovered your channel just a couple of day ago. With respect to your point of unfairness: I seriously believe future generations will have an algorithm for that. Greetings from Germany

[@banareslukeisaiahespino9231]

Thank you Math Sorcerer. I am also at the same circle that there are times that I wanted to spend time with family, spend time on my phone, or sacrifice my time with studies. I feel like my timing isn't right due to my laziness and taking weekends for granted doing nothing. Now I feel uncertain what happens next.

[@thebryanjohnston]

Very similar experience here! In high school, I exhausted math classes after AP calc, so wound up taking multivariable calc at a local university. Did well. When I started undergrad at university, I had a catastrophically bad experince in my first pure math intro to analysis / rigorous calculus course. I was attempting to use the same visual-spatial/engineering type of reasoning that will successfully get you through engineering-targeted math, instead of the fundamentally different kind of reasoning required for pure math. It's like apples and oranges. I remembere asking one of the more successful students in the course how they were visualizing stuff, and they just kind of looked at me blankly. Because that's not how they were approaching things. The kind of brain activity you need to -- for example -- successfully rotate a curve around an axis and have a decent intuitive understanding of why the surface area formula works in C^\infty situations is one thing. Understanding seuqnece and limit based *proofs* is a totally different thing.

[@zackdenis1637]

three months ago when this video was just posted i remember watching this video under a tree in a park at the local community college i attend currently with a girl a was dating at the time after just failing my drivers license for the third time, feeling like crap and with her somewhat comforting me, this video had just been recommended to me at the time and i decided to give it a watch because the timing just felt very fitting. just a month later she decides to want to break up with me for reasons still undenounced to me, i then pass my drivers license just 2 months later and I'm here currently reminiscent on how much can be felt and lost in such a small amount of time. whilst even as an engineering major. Mathematics has never been a strong suit of mine from a very young age, i find a strange solace in this video, almost living a life through a untouched reality through unwanted circumstances i could've never predicted. i hope to come back to this comment again, perhaps in another instance of contemplation as i am now, with an update about some good news, even when things don't work out the exact way i don't want them, and that's just something i have to start adjusting to and approach in a ore intellectual and mature way as a young man.

[@righthererightnow4035]

This came in a timely manner. Currently struggling a lot with proofs, can't progress in anything because I just can't seem to understand them, or build the intuition for it. Whilst simultaneously in a very toxic work environment where I am forced to spend 9-10hrs a day. When I get home I am so drained. I do hope one day I will be good at it, because I enjoy it and want to be able to comfortably use proofs for my research.

Thanks for this. It is really great to get this message. In my 1st year at varsity, I took Applied Mathematics as a elective. The particular focus was Vector Algebra. After two weeks, I did not have ANY clue. And I was a straight-A student, but I felt so stupid. I dropped the course and switched to Accounting, which I easily passed. Since then, I had a mental block that I will never be able to understand Vector Algebra. But maybe one day, I can take it again. 🙂 This video was truly enlightening.

[@billc4993]

Watching your videos inspired me to go back and teach myself the math I never really understood while in college. It also caused me to rethink how I learn. When I was actually taking classes my mindset was I learn the material from the instructor and use the book primarily for the exercises that have to be worked and turned in. Secondarily the book could help with what I didn't quite get from the instructor. Self study has shown me how I can actually learn the material from the book and I believe actually get a better understanding due to large number of problems that I am doing. As a result of my initial mindset I did have one class where the instructor was so poor (they didn't have their contract extended) that I had to drop the class. Repeating the class with a different instructor was an entirely different experience. But I believe if I knew then what I know now I could have taught myself the material and not have to drop the class.

@@MrValsung Not sure I know what you think I have accomplished. First bit of advice is limit the number of Math Sorcerer videos you watch.

Thank you for this video! A simple, yet profound concept we all tend to forget. I’ve never had to learn this lesson until now - as a 30 year old. For the first time, I’ve encountered my limits as I’ve become a parent. Im stretched too thin compared to everyone else. It’s frustrating - I’ve always done fairly well. But now I’m beginning to understand the consequences of becoming a parent, and that my career may need to be in stasis until the time I can do well again. And then I’ll hit the books again!

Stasis is right. Though scientists have had years of little time to study then pick it back up to find new discoveries have opened up areas that solve problems they put in stasis years earlier. Sometimes stasis isn't actually slowing things as much as it would seem!

[@5038-o1k]

Thank you very much for this. I've been thinking about this for months but I didn't know how much I needed to hear it. I've been struggling with a lot of personal issues for the past 9 years and even though I've made a lot of progress, this semester has been particularly draining, and I haven't been able to attend many classes nor have I been able to study, and I'm emotionally exhausted. I keep telling this to myself and others and most people say they wish I could study and get through with the semester, and while I appreciate their intentions, what I truly need right now is to rest and most of all to stop pressuring myself so much to perform so that I can finally get around to actually resting instead of just lying in bed wincing for hours on end. I haven't been able to cry in a while and I managed to cry after I finished watching this video.

I might fail and thats sad but i hope God provides me with power to atleast bear my pain if i can't succeed because i don't know what I'll do if i fail academically.

[@ellonblack4165]

@llllllllll2434 Thanks for the kind words! And sure... The topic was syntactical analysis of sentences, types of bonds in the sentence, and types of the simple sentence (writing out "the code" or the paradigm that describes the sentence). I'm not sure I explained it correctly, though, since I'm not sure how to say those things in English... This is all for Russian syntax, mind you, since I study that as a foreign language.

[@AnnieMarie869]

That's true about timing. I was never a good math student in junior high snd high school. I failed it. I actually had given up on math and accepted I was going to fail. I made sure I did well in the oyjer classes to compensate fir the F's in math. In 9th grade for first 2 or 3 months I actually got A's and B's in a Basic Algebra class. I couldn't believe it. Then I started getting F's again. I dontvunderstand why I couldn't the math back them. Today I can do Algebra and even some Calculus I can't do math proofs right now and I may never be able to do math proofs That's okay too. IF someone can't do the math fir a math degree, but still a career with math, they might get a accounting diploma. It's alright to fail.

[@concertautist4474]

In other videos you've mentioned not worrying about understanding maths and to just do it. It's good advice but man do I want to know the why as I'm progressing. I guess one can start understanding the why when moving onto proofs. Calculus seems a good long term goal that unlocks greater understanding in all manner of domains.

Excellent video and, personally, a good reminder. I hope people take your message at heart and keep it in mind whenever they struggle. This is something that can be learnt only through realisation, but one has to be mindful about it or the lesson might elude. I struggle with it myself still sometimes, even though I've had quite a long career in computer science, AI in particular, by now.

I had this very thing happen to me. I in my fifties and I've always had this dream of getting a Masters in Math but I didn't think I'd ever get accepted into a program. On a whim I recently decided to apply to a school that offered an online Masters in Math. To my surprise I was accepted. Long story short, I couldn't make it through the first course (Analytic Geometry). I had to withdraw from the program. It was devastating. I don't know if I'll ever get another opportunity but in the meantime I'll continue to learn as much Math as I can. Thank you for your videos!!

I am curious about M.S. Math courses ; was the online instruction created by the University or was it " canned " lessons from Pearson or another major vendor of online courses ?

[@timweese3381]

The course didn't have a required textbook. The content was created/organized by the instructor

Sometimes you just do something innocent that other people take offence at.

Thanks, I really needed to hear this, I'm about to fail a class, and don't want to blame the teacher but he's definitely making it harder than it should be haha...

[@strengthandhonor-ui7fg]

Thank you for this...

[@szxnv]

True in life and also in science, but yet that is how progression is made :)

[@softllamaspajamas]

Currently getting my butt handed to me in discrete and fully recognize that it’s a math maturity issue. Hopefully, all will go well with my final and I’ll end up with a B but goodness I fought very hard for this class.

[@mlliarm]

Thank you ❤

I'm 32, and dropped out of School in the 9th grade. I know basic math, but fail with much of algebra, and beyond. I'm not familiar with fractions, and X and Y components, and how they work. I'm eager to learn, but grasping their concepts, and functions is difficult. (Not to sound like a sponsor bot..) I have been trying to use ChatGPT, and other open source AI to assist me with my learning curve. In many cases it has told me I found a correct formula to solve the equations, but my solution differed from their own. I asked if this mattered? It said understanding, and finding the answer is still the right answer. As long as my solution can find the same answer. I am unsure how to take this, since it goes against the original formula, and I'd assume would be rejected if I don't follow the teachers formula for finding the answer?

[@SaidThoughts]

@@walterallen4069 It's finding the answer using their solution that can be challenging for me to grasp. For example 2x + 5 = 15 I'd do 2x5 + 5 = 15 X=5, but my solution seems to differ from others, and unsure if acceptable. My differing in solutions can carry in to other mathematics as well. Such as fractions, and simplifying methods.

Thanks jacked math wizard

[@paulensor9984]

I think it's easier for some to take a trick and just put it in their pocket, with the supplied explanation, while others want to understand that thing deeply before just accepting it, in a taught environment this can slow us down and even discourage progress through the course

[@trawsoza2926]

I havent been on this channel in a while. Math sorcerer when did you get swole? 😂 You dropping a workout program to do in between math problems? Great video as always ❤

“A major Canadian university” That’s The University of Waterloo 😅 There be dragons in those pages.

[@avrishkaramraj9817]

Thank you so much for this

[@sylvioufba]

I love the lost brother of Jeff Bezos. The Math Sorcerer is the best 👏🏻

[@sylvioufba]

My comment liked by the legend himself! 😮 I can certainly die in peace now 😌

[@sylvioufba]

Btw, @The Math Sorcerer: your classes on Udemy are absolutely AMAZING. I used to *hate* math in high school, but now find myself enjoying it thanks to you. You're the best teacher ever

[@robcubed9557]

No homo, but Math Sorcerer is looking jacked. One can see that the results of his strength training regimen.

[@guidofeliz8384]

I often find myself going through a textbook like walking in the park on a sunny day. I then reach a certain chapter or section that requires knowledge of all the previous math material I have learned or thought I learned. Confusion sets in to create a stumbling block that keeps me wondering if I truly learned anything at all in my previous math courses or chapters or sections that I just completed. Why does this happen? How do I keep myself from forgetting the earlier chapters or sections in math textbooks?

[@geitekop507]

'Sometimes, things just don't work out' Me thinking: 'psh, yea. Like 0/0'

[@jennifertate4397]

Your math videos are great and always inspiring. Thanks dude.

[@AFFECTIngclips]

Thank you sir, god`s speed!

[@guidofeliz8384]

Proper study requires time. Life often gets in the way of the things we want to do and need to do.

[@hemrajue3434]

Sometimes things won't work for us.That is right.Later on things come easier if you are after it.

[@angelajohnson4666]

Great book! I bought the book. I like it.

[@spacewad8745]

You are a beautiful person sir. Your approach to life is the most inspiring. Thanks for being a positive presence in my life.

[@guidofeliz8384]

The same can be said about anything else in life.

[@honkhonk8009]

Im taking Discrete Math and graph theory, and because of a few events like TA strikes throughout the whole month and whatnot, Im doing pretty bad in it. Also partially because Im really not that used to proofs in general. Iv learnt some basic proofs in discrete math 1, but they were from just memorizing the textbook. Got a different prof this time and that same method doesnt really apply with him.
