Completely dissassociate yourself from your environment by trying not to react to it. I struggled with anger management which brought on depression and I don't know if you have ever watched Penguinz0 but he doesn't react negatively to things and continues as if nothing happened. Although emotionless, he remain optimistic and continues to look for solutions as if he is speed running a game or something. The point is that when you look back on yourself in years to come, you would have wished you adopted this optimistic attitude so you could make progress quicker. As for study tips, researching deep work is a great idea. Note taking: Categorise into Important (A subject or an important message) method: How to approach a problem Notes: Exam tips and additional advice and incorporate as many questions as possible. Don't waste a second not thinking about maths and don't worry if you don't do well initially, Remember, it isn't about the grades but the system you use to attain them. Refine that system and forget about the grades for now. Good Luck.

There's usually interesting stuff in appendices and so on. 2) Eliminate distractions: phone, computer, watch, etc. Carve-out a place to concentrate. 3) Write things out on paper: definitions (think of examples and counter-examples) and draw doodles, pictures, etc. that will help you visualize a concept. 4) Get going.

so true... the first step seems to be the most difficult for many. I used to be willingly ignorant of the areas I was weak in with maths but over time learning to accept that I wasn't good at every topic helped me to overcome that barrier and ultimately made me better at maths and enjoy it more. I think the same concept applies to any goal you have, if people wanted to stop procrastinating, they will have to 'face their fears' eventually.

I'm 40 years old, divorced and a father of two wonderful children. About a month ago I started to reflect on my financial well being and how I'm supposed to provide for my children in the future. So I came to the conclusion to pursue higher education. I'm about to head to High School this September and I will hopefully get my high school diploma. After that I want to go to University and finally make something out of me. I'm so tired of being a underpaid Warehouse Employee. I am currently sitting on my butt for at least 4hours a day and study Math, because I used to be lazy and therefore never really understood it. Thank God that I live in a country where higher education is basically free. David Goggins and you inspired me to do it! God bless you Math Sorcerer!

At 40 with two kids I'd recommend learning a skilled trade instead of pursuing a college degree. It's good that you are studying math, that will help you with some trades - electrician, hvac tech, bus or train tech. With only 2 years of training you can have a job that pays very well and has great benefits and pension.

My central problem with studying (math & math-heavy fields) is the extreme oscillation between obsession (up to compulsiveness) and avoidance (usually manifesting as procrastination). I'm aware of the fact that it essentially has nothing to do with math itself (and/or other related fields), but it's the one thing that is most affected by it.

I know exactly what your talking about. I suck at doing it but I think forcing yourself to stop can be as important as forcing yourself to start sometimes. Once I get into that state I don’t want to stop until the task is done but this isn’t always healthy. Avoid going 110% if you can help it. Rest when you still have some work to look forward to and come back at it with the same enthusiasm you had yesterday.

It is because you do too much and need rest. The body is begging for rest. So, try to observe how much you can do such that you do not need rest days. Start with low (not high) and increase it slowly. If you need days off, you know that you have to reduce the time/effort. Consistency is more important. If you can study 3 to 5 hours every day, consider it a good program and stick with that.

A long time ago I got to meet the great John McCarthy and asked him how he went about reading a new paper. His advice was basically the same - read it once to get the gist, then go through over and over, writing down things he didn’t understand and working through them. Sometimes, he said, he’d have to read a paper five times to finally get it. Even the best of us have this problem and your advice was great.

Nadim: I’m sorry that you’re going through that. Depression and poverty are two extremely difficult challenges. It’s a good sign that you want to improve. Those who want to improve generally do. It’s likely that you’re improving and you don’t realize it. Improvement frequently feels like confusion. It’s when people are confident that they know everything that they are in trouble. Hang on. Hope is a major asset. Best of luck and be kind to yourself and others.

Mental Health is also important, without a clear mind you wont be able to focus and do math efficiently. He said that he is depressed, since hes only 13 i assume that unhappiness with his current situation would fit better. Nadeem if you are reading this, stay strong. Take that pain and convert it into effort. Study hard, become good at maths and all those problems will go away, it will just take a little bit of time. Remember there are always people who are in a worse situation.

Hey Math Sorcerer, I'd just like to say thanks for the great videos, talks, book reviews, etc. You're a nice, caring, intelligent guy who just wants to help people learn, and I think that's hard to find in modern times unfortunately. I hope all is going well in your life, thank you for the videos and awesome algebra course; I am currently using it to tackle my MAT 1033 (Intermediate Algebra) class. I have always struggled with math and dropped out of college when I was 19 because of medical bills and I also just didn't know what I wanted to do in life so I didn't care about any of my classes. I was broke, depressed, and felt like a failure. (This was 2018-2023) Fast forward to the present, I am back in school, just finished my first semester back with a B in both my philosophy and logic classes. Despite my lifelong struggle with math, I am pursuing a degree in astronomy and astrophysics because I just love the mysteries questions about life we just don't know the answer to. Thank you again for your great, helpful, and inspirational content. It really helps out academically and mentally.

Honestly, if u study, it's nice to be able to keep track of your progress and have clear goals set up for yourself. What worked for me was inventing a language/learning journal since i study more than 1 subject. For each week and each subject, i set up a single goal (finish 2 chapters, for example) plus the approximate time i can spend on it. Then, after each session, i write down what i did, where I need to still improve/what do i need to do the next time, and i include the hours i spend studying. On the last one i like to make some yearly/monthy graphs depicting my overall score. Seeing me improving on the amount of self-study i achieved keeps me motivated :)

What you said + don't try to hyper optimize, study fast. Go slow and don't worry about the progress too much, enjoy the process itself. Then the knowledge/skills you learned become natural and easy for you. This also allows you to improve the process and flow over time because you reflect more, and eventually you will be fast. For a long time I had a negative emotions associated with studying until I realized that I should just do it slow but consistent. Don't compare yourself to others and especially those productivity gurus on yt etc. Learn from them when you can but don't feel fomo

My advice for studying for exams is review well ahead of time and once you are comfortable with a certain concept try speed running a few problems and check your answers for any small mistakes and correct them. During exams time is scarce and its important to not waste any this strategy has definitely been the difference between receiving an A or B for me.

Writing is really useful, especially for reworking the proofs yourself, coming up with examples and counterexamples, summarizing chapters and sections, and rephrasing and expanding on sentences that could be confusing. I am a slow writer though, so I prefer studying from PDFs and annotating the PDF with highlighted comments, and underlining important keywords/sentences. This has the added advantage of making reviews much simpler because the annotations act as memory hooks allowing you to race through a page by navigating the annotations.

The whole bit about writing down “everything” is so validating to me, I had been writing down everything my entire mathematical career until my final year of undergrad which was during the peak of the pandemic. I found out we had take home exams for everything and I got complacent and my grades tanked. Thankfully I was still able to get into my Masters program, and I’ve been writing everything down ever since, it just feels so right (grades also went up but the real gift was my experience with math being repaired)

As an engineer with many years of experience here are some words of advise. 1. Be easy or patient with yourself, don’t ever feel defeated. 2. Learning is a process in itself. Every learning process has a start and an end. 3. Celebrate your successes. 4. Move on when you get stuck, but come back. 5. Use as many books or references to learn a difficult topic. There is no best reference on anything. 6. Start and finish your homework before they due to reduce stress. 7. Ask questions.

Because most of what I study now is on a computer, one technique I've used to thoroughly learn something is copy and paste the section of text into a notepad file then parse through it. When I go through it, I make sure I can understand everything the author is saying in a passage, then I ask myself if there is a briefer or clearer way to express that in words. Most of the time there is, so I basically edit what the author wrote, then do what I think is a better job, or at least it somehow "feels" better when I read it. In the process of doing that, the thoughts of what the author talks about begin to gel more and I'm satisfied that I captured all that was said. Thanks!

Are they recognized in the US? On the second note, I want to thank you for the enthusiasm you spread in your videos. Math was always triggering anxiety in my mind, almost always I felt notion of being lost, even tackling basic concepts. With your videos, I bough first books and started to learn math from very scratch. With that move I started freeing myself from fear and felt joy of learning math. Now I see that fear of math was only the outcome of untackled things in my life. Once I started learning again, I see that my mind is at peace. It might sound bizzare, but I do believe that going back to unresolved stuff can be very liberating for ones mind. So with that, I want to thank you for all you do in YT's space. Marcin

I started with "Everything you need to ace math" from Workman Publishing. Now I'm going with McMullen's pre-algebra workbook. Next in line are Shaum's geometry.

My only problem is being consistent i can study 4 to 6 hour a day during my semester exams even 10 hours depending on the difficulty of subject before the day of exam but on regular days it becomes impossible no matter how hard i try If only i was able to study 6 hours everyday with no distractions and complete focus.

Hi, I'm in uni and I have engineering courses with relatively basic math (basic trigonometry and algebra) but for me, it's still hard because I have no depth in the field of mathematics. I can tell by comparing the way I can form complex analyses on other topics in my head and visualise them in depth, whereas with math I keep asking questions that end up going on tangents besides the scope of the course and I get stuck often. I'm trying to study and I'm realising two things. I generally want to learn and actually understand things (I know sometimes it's better to move on and you'll understand later but with me everything is unclear) and for me to actually learn would take a lot longer than one semester so it's hard to be ready for exams. And the second thing with math specifically, it's so complex that I notice some things are calculated and some things are just memorised information. Most students I know usually cram and memorise just to pass, but I can't really do that either. I guess my question is, how to deal with this duplicity? How much should I try to understand and calculate and how much should I just memorise? I remember when I was a kid and "learning" the times tables, we used to just memorise them, and sure it's useful, but there's so much else I don't have memorised and I don't really understand how or why. I keep getting stuck in the same place because of it. What is your opinion on this, if it makes any sense to you at all?

If i get stuck in any trig question, I google to look for any algebraic identity that i might have missed and then apply it and it works mostly. When that doesn't work, i ask AI to teach me that one problem and then proceed to solve the rest on my own.

1:43 I say first do a casual reading and then careful reading. By casual studying first, you learn the surface level information, which seems like a waste but you are priming your mind for the subject you will be learning. Take a break for some time (it up to you) and start studying in carefully. Since, you have casually read the subject, your brain will have an idea of what you will be learning. This is called Priming or Pre-Study. If you want to know more you can search about it on KZbin or look for the research papers (I watched the entire video and realized you said the exact same thing)

In addition to writing everything on the paper, I'd say it's important to break down what you're writing. There's times when you don't understand how the problem is being solved. In those cases I like to write it and focus on finding what doesn't make sense to me and actually trying to understand it. When I finally understand it I try to explain it the best I can in the paper, circling what I need to emphasize or whatever I feel like doing. That way you not only memorize and learn, but also discover where you're lacking and explain it so that if you're studying it again at some point (because re-reading is also important to consolidate something) you'll now be able to understand it easily and fast cause of your own notes and explanation.

Wizard!! I recently started your college algebra course on udemny. The purpose is to refresh my math before I start graduate school in the fall.for financial analysis. Would you say college algebra (in addition to statistics) would be the best use of my time in preparing for this graduate program? I figure algebra is a base that's used in most higher level mathematics.

My personal way to study is to wake up early in the morning ( bc you won't be excited to do anything if you wake up late and I say that from a personal experience ) and at night before each morning I make a list of what I'm gonna do next day ( I use notes app on my phone YOU don't need a journal !) Then I start studying like I'm a teacher and actually I'm a totur for engineering students so, I feel like I'm playing a game not studying I use small board to make me feel I'm really a techer I take breaks of course ...but the most important is the PLANNING a day before ❤

To me I think ma thematic is problem solving. So in order to understand all the concepts, definitions, theorems, ... and their properties, I have to solve a tons of problems. Problems force me search all the prior knowledge to find the suitable one for the problems. Some very hard problems require deep understand multiple theories in order to solve it so they can make links between these concepts.

The most efficient way for me to pass my calculus classes was the 100 exercise and their answer sheet in each chapter I was doing 100 exercises and with their details answer sheet . But first u need to understand property and theorems and then try to apply exercise that apply them directly so that u can understand them. Cuz theorems will let u understand what’s possible in mathematics and not , then try to do 100 exercise with gradual difficulty in each chapter with their answer u should pass any class in maths in worst case scenario. Form an electrical engineer.

My instructor said we wouldn’t be given credit unless we did 80% of our hmwk. I have been so stressed I cracked my tooth from grinding my jaw. The new era doesn’t give us books and the computers don’t allow us to pass a question and move on if we don’t get the question right. It’s super defeating. I thought I was going to bomb on my trig test today but we will see. I hate controlling teachers. Just let me learn without the ptsd. It’s not cute and they always have a psychotic grin on their face. Not you ofc, you are like Kermit the frog if he were human and a math sorcerer!

Study less, more often would be my advice. By this I mean study every day possible even if all you have is 20 minutes. Personally I have a limit how long I can study for it's around three hours. after that my efficiency and effectiveness drops drastically. Every time finals come around I think oh I'll just study all day for the next few days and I'll be good. All day rarely exceeds 3 hours for me and then I think awe why didn't I study this over the course of the symester.

Hey math man how you doing? A comment from a dear follower: the thing is that i'm going to start learning math now, since i have no budget and a small income (we could say temporally, because i don't know when it will end). What do you think about the quality of the books the public library borrow/lends versus the ones amazon or any bookstore sell you? I do value quality specially latest edition. I believe I'll try out mysellf once i purchase a new odisea because i lost it and unfortunely i can't borrow any book from there unless i give back. Kind regards A susbscriber from costa rica.

All these prescriptions are wrong and right at the same time. It may work, it may not, only you can figure it out. Everyone wants somebody to tell them what to do. Be the one that doesn't know but moves forward. Getting stuck is good, that is when you "get" to figure it out for yourself. KZbin is a godsend. Watch all the different views on a particular subject, one is bound to work for you. If it doesn't you "get" to be the one who figures out another way to approach it. Life is good, you are awesome, go get it!! BTW Math Sorcerer is amazing ;)

Here's an approach that I've found often works for math (and related subjects): After that first casual read, try to solve problems. There's a good chance that you won't know, or at least won't know well enough, everything you need to know to solve a problem. So then go back and look at the formulas, theorems, examples, etc. with the goal of figuring out what you need to know to solve the problem.

Should i prioritise Quadratic equations, Basic Maths, Logarithms,exponents, calculus/differentiation, Linear Equations and Inequalities, 3D geometry, Binomial Theorem, Trigonometry, Probability, Application of Derivatives, Differential Equations,Sets, Functions? Please help me. I want to be strong in maths again so i can score higher in physics and chemistry.

1- Active Recall : Read things until you have committed them to memory. 2- Space Repetition : In intervals, read again until things are committed to memory. 3- Interweaved Learning : 3- Study connexe things that will reinforce your learnings. For maths, yes, you do indeed need to practice. But you also need to learn the properties of different concepts as well as there definition. This in turn will help you come up with solution. Welcome in the frustration of not knowing as it is part of the process. Be revisiting things you thought you've already mastered, you will discover nuances and will thus grow. Search websites as some offer apps/formulas you can plug your problems into to obtain the solution. This will help you with those pesky little even number problems... And always remember the words of Miyamoto Musashi : "It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first." Last but not least... It will never become easier; you will simply have become better ;) Hope this help, wish you the best :)
