Large variable of it depends on what class and/or school you go to

[@norb6492]

In class, particularly in maths, we must learn step by step. If the lecture goes even one step ahead of what you’ve learned, you start to feel like a lost idiot. You are not. You just need a little more time, or another example, or some such. Given more time and information, most can lean maths much further than expected. Watching a film, you skip all this, and go for the gold immediately. Quite exciting, in part because we all remember the rush of pleasure from really understanding a mathematical principle for the first time. Nothing quite like it.

There is a guy in my class who is exactly like the boy in the second clip. And he is a good friend of mine. Boi he justs looks at a problem and says the answer even if he didn't read the chapter. Till now he has failed in statistics, physics, maths in some tests. In our chemistry lab, he never listens to the teacher. He always wants to do something new. And he is the type of guy who just likes to come and say to me that,"hey, listen post Malone uploaded a video yesterday at 10:01 pm and it had got like ? Views by the next five minutes. I was among the first viewers". This boy is really crazy. If he watches films he watches it from 6 pm to 3 am. He can just finish the whole series. Having such a friend is weird, funny and frustrating as well coz his language is very different. Anyways, I am just an average person. If I personally cannot do anything great then I can atleast help the great ones to do something great. Who cares tho...it's frustrating I know but still...he appreciates me as a friend.

Good Will Hunting celebrated mathematics and academic achievement. However, it was not the primary purpose of the movie.

The car goat game is called the Monty Hall problem. It is a much analysed problem in discrete probability and when the problem came out first, many including the legendary Erdos himself refused to believe that the chance increased to 2/3 by switching. Many doctorates in mathematics criticized the magazine for a "erranous" solution. They all believed that the chance was a mere 50-50, so switch or not, chances remain the same. For Erdos, he only came to trust the solution after a computer simulation proved the correctness. Interesting problem to talk on especially when it's Kevin Spacey who is discussing it. A pity he turned out to be a slave of his lust. I really liked him. :(

Good Will Hunting The Man Who Knew Infinity 21 A Beautiful Mind

[@AnkitRaj-jn8ew]

For those who did not understand why he swapped the door in the movie 21 let me explain, each door has 33.3% of chance in the beginning so door 1 has 33.3% and door 2 + door 3 has 66.6% of chance. Since door 3 was revealed and it does not have the car, the 66.6% altogether goes to door 2 and hence has more chances of having the car.

[@Eduardo1Garcia]

I'm an idiot so please take that into account but I don't agree. Once one door is opened and he is asked to pick again he shouldn't switch because it doesn't matter, there is a 50/50 chance he will be right with whatever he chooses. How can you transfer probability from door 3 to door 2? Why doesn't it transfer to door #1? Once door 3 is opened it is removed from being a possibility and now you only have 2 doors at a 50/50 split.

Great story, Who was the bad teacher

[@MSjackiesaunders]

The question is, how badly did you flunk English? I was a technical writer in the computer industry for over 35 years because engineers and programmers cannot structure a sentence properly. My first boss told me that he could teach a decent writer enough of the "tech stuff" to write user manuals and other essential documents, while he couldn't teach the tech folks to write a decent sentence because they didn't think it was important. Both sides of the equation are important. The difference is, I recognized that. Too bad most of the commenters do not. Proper punctuation and good grammar are essential to clear and concise communication.

[@jimkelley5812]

Re: "The Game Show" it might be clearer to think of it as the host offering to trade the 2 doors not chosen for the 1 door that was. Opening one of the two unselected doors does not change the fact that there was a 67% chance that the winning door was one of these 2. Just think of it as having 100 doors, with only one prize. You only have a 1% chance of selecting the right door. Now the host opens 98 doors, leaving only 1 door plus the door you picked. Would you then switch if you could? Of course!

[@williambarrantes1674]

Jim Kelley why would you then switch? The 2 doors that are left have just as much probability of being right. If 98 doors are removed, then you now have a 50% chance of getting it right. I don’t understand why you have to switch in order to increase your chances, the moment other options are taken away your chances increase no matter if you stay or switch. And honestly, the game show host probably was trying to trick you into switching, so if you switch you get screwed with the goat.

@@keshav1321 Sure, it's not intuitive. Best way to think about it is to imagine that there are 100 doors. You pick one, which has a 1% chance of having the new car. Then the game-show host opens all the other closed doors (which have goats), except door number 63. Door 63 sure looks suspicious. In the event you were right initially (1% chance), you should stick with your initial guess. But in the event you were wrong (99% chance), then the new car has to be behind door 63, the only other door still closed.

Do you know about the Monty-Hall-Dilemma. The Scene was basically about it and the equations had nothing to do with it. It‘s pretty easy probability calculation but the movie made it look impressive.

@@federicodellimmagine3676 The thing is black jack isnt comparable to the example here. It's about betting high when you have increased odds of winning and betting low when your odds of winning are decreased. That is literally the point of card counting in blackjack. The fact is, whether he changed his choice or not after one door was revealed, his odds were the same whether he stayed with his original choice or switched.

[@stephenbutler4399]

It's cuz that's how long it takes to get to that level of mathematical understanding 😂 hahaha not really, but close... I'm a student studying at a community college for an ast in engineering to take to a 4 university, to get the ast, the "2 year" college stay is actually 4-5 years, just to fulfill the math requirement 😅 haha and the kicker? Those math courses are pretty much just introductory level stuff, at the University I'd be looking at another 2-3 for my undergrad, and another 6 for my doctorate, if I aim for one lol. But I started college at 24, so add on 4 to that, I'll be 28ish before I even start at the University 😅

[@alwaysuseless]

Hi Stephen. I know you're partly joking, but your numbers look inflated. I wouldn't presume to speak to your situation, but for students who are going straight for a Ph.D. in math-the scenario relevant to the scene we're watching-it's 4 years for the B.S. and another 4 years for the Ph.D. New Ph.D. 's in math are typically in their mid-to-late-twenties.

[@stephenbutler4399]

@@alwaysuseless haha I was honestly just basing my numbers off what was given to me by an advisor that came from a university that started at our school, he's currently pursuing a PhD and the numbers I gave were kind of taking the time he expects and molding it to my own, lol since I won't even start a university till I'm around 28, and won't begin a pursuit into a PhD until 3 or 4 years after that, since I'd be getting my undergrad first and kind of go from there as to whether I want the grad or not, similar to his own lol, but yea in general my numbers are kind of inflated, mainly because of the scheduling the classes at my current school have, they're not very streamlined... I'm aiming for an ast of mechanical engineering, but the courses I need (other than math) follow a sequence and are only offered one quarter a year, they also require a certain level of math to take, so if you don't have that level yet, you can only wait a year, I basically started my math sequence one quarter too late and so have to spend the next year on the electrical engineering track before returning to mechanical, which kind of "wastes" a year (was wanting to take the electrical classes too tbh, but concurrently with my mechanical)

[@eyesofphysics97]

@@stephenbutler4399 I realize this is going to sound fake, but I am actually a first year graduate student at Princeton's department of physics and am pursuing a PhD right now! This is me: phy.princeton.edu/people/suren-gourapura I'd like to say that it certainly does not take 30-40 years to start the first year in physics here. I started immediately after undergrad at Ohio State University, which I finished in a standard 4 years. International students tend to earn a masters in Physics before attending here, which increases their age by 2-3 years, but still right around 25-26 at the latest. I presume our mind is most ripe for learning right around the 20s, so starting after 30 is perhaps a disadvantage. Also, you might have a family by then, which may not leave enough time for research. Perhaps it was around the 30s back then though?

​@ShinoVince1 You are an a$$hole. Oh, sorry, that was just semantics at work. Semantics and correct usage of words is every bit as important as mathematical formulas. You don't get the correct answer if you don't correctly identify the variables. So don't dismiss something as "just semantics" like the correct usage of words and their meanings is not important. The only way humans can communicate is through well-defined semantics.
