I will be 78 on September 28th and I just today figured out what an antiderivative is.

I'M 33 YEARS OLD AND STARTING COMPUTER ENGINEERING... DISCRETE MATH HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE... THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER FACTORS THAT MAKE IT HARD TO BE A COLLEGE STUDENT WHEN 'YOU ARE OLD'... I USED TO FEEL I WAS BEHIND AND FELT OLD, HOWEVER, WHEN I REMOVED THAT IDEA, THINGS START MOVING DIFFERENT... DESPITE OF ALL THE ROADBLOCKS, I'M STILL TRYING IT AND THAT'S WHAT IT MATTERS TO ME... AGE IS MOSTLY A MENTAL BARRIER...

[@TheMathSorcerer]

You can do it!

[@d.holder595]

Don’t give up! You can do this! If you have the right mindset, you can learn anything. It may not be easy, but it’s not impossible. I went back to college at 44 y.o. and I got my Master’s Degree in mathematics. I wish you all the best!

[@philj9594]

Doing computer science at 37. 2nd year and 4.0 gpa! It's very hard but age has only been an advantage so far.

Age is an advantage.

[@LordZombieZanetta]

I'm no Senior Citizen, but I am 46. I just finished my first year at my University and finished pre calc and trig with A's. I couldn't believe how I did it at first but I realized that my brain caught on quicker and I studied very very hard. Age is not a barrier if you do not think it is, in fact I think that my brain is sharper in some ways. I will be starting Calc 1 in 2 weeks and I am nervous but excited even more so! Great topic Math Sorcerer!

[@JP-xm3qf]

Yes but this is baby stuff, study 10 years more for maybe getting a Phd

[@LordZombieZanetta]

[@l.w.paradis2108]

​@LordZombieZanetta I wasn't gifted in math, but I suddenly fell in love with it (after studying Plato, and having a great math TA in college). I LOVED a text not used as often now, by Loomis. It trained my intuition so perfectly, I can't tell you. I have a very algebraic and logical mind, but decidedly poor spatial intuition, so Loomis was a godsend. I never once got a limit problem wrong, and I used to buy other books for more practice and do all those problems, too. Thanks to Loomis, I understood a lot of the three dimensional applications I would never have gotten otherwise. If Thomas had been our sole textbook, I'm not sure I would have succeeded. (I got all As.) 😊

[@misslayer999]

You sound kinda like me lol. I'm a 42-year-old neuroscience student taking calc and physics, with definite plans for grad school after I finish uni. I love it. I feel the the same about my own learning style and cognition. I'm even doing better than a lot of my younger classmates. I've never been so determined to do anything in my life! I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and it sounds like you are too! Sure it felt a little weird at first, but then I just got over it and decided I'm too old to give a fuck 😂 we have just as much of a right to be there as anybody else!

This reminds me of that prisoner Christopher Havens who is serving 25 years, and never finished highschool yet during his solitary confinement started learning math. He solved some kind of problem that stumped mathematicians for a long time given to him by some professors he wrote to in a college. Now he teaches math in prison which allows him access to more math books as a reward.

[@walterstevens3874]

I completed an MPH (biostatistics concentration) at age 63 and just completed a Grad Cert in Spatial Analysis from Johns Hopkins at age 69. I’m using them both in a second career in medical research at a university.

I am 40 Years Old from India. As a kid i always enjoyed Math . But due to some circumstances i lost some where. Now i am a Principal Software Engineer working in IT. I don't enjoy it but only doing becuase i have to survive , so my family and my Kid. But this vidio gives me confidence. Thanks The Math Sorcecer.

[@kfbr3922]

Nope not too old to do anything. The age discrimination comes from the government.

[@kassistwisted]

Thank you! When I was 17 years old, I failed Calc 1 at uni. My professor was teaching Calc 1 and testing for Calc 3. He got fired for it. But even though I knew that, I wasn't confident enough to accept that the failure wasn't mine. I am 57 now and I found your channel so I could learn Calculus. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@basqye9]

Ironically, perhaps the only barrier to learning math in old age is unlearning the myth that you can't learn math in old age.

[@allenofatlanta]

Usually, that myth is told to us by people who gave up a long time ago.

[@sauravparmar3444]

If you want to learn Quantum Mechanics, you should approach vector calculus and Numerical linear algebra using computer codes from the very beginning. You can look at Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by D. A. McQuarrie or other books of the same genre to get you started. Additionally, learn at least one programming language like MATLAB, FORTRAN or Python whuch enables you to run your own QM calculations...becoz further down the road QM is not possible without implementing your DIFEERENTIAL EQUATIONS ideas through Numerical Methods..

[@olgafatica3445]

Thanks, pal, that's great advice 🙌

Regarding math, I’m on discrete mathematics for now. Your channel reminds me to never give up and to keep pushing forward. You are a source of inspiration.

[@sheikhabrahim4057]

Two weeks ago I would have enrolled at my local university to read for an Associate Degree in Math. In a few weeks time I would be 46. Now, I have always been an average student in mathematics since high school but in recent years I have recently 'rediscovered' the love for math and its importance in the world. I still have an element of fear for it but not like back in high school. How can I can cultivate the right mindset to becoming really good at math. I never had a regime on how to study in the first place. What advice can you offer? I would like to openly express sincerest gratitude to you for your inspiring videos. Please keep it up. Thanks.

[@sandipanbanerjee5010]

I will be 31 by the time I finish my masters in applied maths... then maybe another 5-6 yrs for Phd... I wish to do Phd from abroad, I am from India.. 😂 Are Indians perceived in a good way nowadays, in Europe and in America??

Good video. I earned my last graduate degree at 44 years of age, so I know the feeling. If you want to do it, you can. Independent of age. It’s funny you brought up the French math prof. My major prof was an information / error control theory guy. Heavy into abstract algebra, signal theory, etc. All his PhD students were from all over the world. So one time we were talking about where the best math people were from. I said India, not a bad choice. He said no, the best math people were from France. I worked on several NATO jobs and worked with the French quite a bit. I couldn’t disagree. You know, there was that Galois guy, ha!

[@waqarhaider2226]

I'm 28 and I've just started pre-algebra, this time actually understand WHY maths works the way it works, not just HOW. I'm doing it after completing my bachelor's in English, and now I wanna go into NLP and ML, which requires a decent amounts of maths.

In college, I could easily attain As in everything, except for math. Math was a struggle; I could barely do B work. But now in my 40s/50s, math has suddenly gotten easier. I don't know why! Logic, and mathematical solutions make so much more sense to me. I am able to find the beauty in elegant math solutions, and have started learning several computer languages. I look forward to finally conquering the dragon of Calculus, and more!

[@salerio61]

I'll tell you, I've been going to college for 45 years, I noticed it getting tougher after the age of about 50 your brain does get a bit slower and retention is harder. Then you have more knowledge to apply to new problems, so ... my last Master's course was in 2021 and I've done a few dabbles since then, I think I am ready now to try some more. Interesting, my next project is also vector calculus like your subscriber with a view to finally getting to grips with Maxwell's equations. My university has plotted out a Master's program for me which I am now thinking of taking up

[@sibbyeskie]

Reality is there is a give and take as you age. My brain was on fire when I was on my 20's, and I had a very quick wit. But I had the patience of a gnat. Now I have almost inhuman levels of patience, but I'm not quite so fast to compute. Also you build contexts and broader understanding that you can lean on as you age that simply isn't there in youth. When you're young, it can make you feel like you can do impossible things because you don't consider the conditions you're not aware of. As you age you're more likely to see boundaries, but maybe less likely to veer off into something totally new. All told, I'm making more use of my understanding I've built up than I could have in my 20's. As long as I keep working my brain like it's a muscle, I expect to be able to continue taking the trades and doing my best.

[@down-the-rabbit-hole]

practice practice practice. Then it just becomes muscle memory. Also you may be studying the wrong way. Another tip is don't move onto the next topic until you are 100% confident you got it down, then move on. I could never learn math with a teacher. I learned everything by self-study

I am soon turning 38 years old and starting uni on my way to become neuroscientist. Also taking course in physics, philosophy and math. Wathever your age is, it won’t go backwards, so you decide what you want to spent your time on. If you’re 60, it’s your choice if you want to be 65 and not have learnt a new topic, or you can be 65 and know a lot of new things. In either case, you’ll be 65 in 5 years. Not studying won’t make you younger, and if it’s not now, when is it then?

It is fun to learn at old age. No homework just read for fun. Recently I read a DSP book , lot of Math but it was fun. I read part of Composite Structures book. Was fun . Taught myself Aircraft Stability and Control. Now I learned how Auto Pilot works, Yaw Damper, what are Stability Parameters, learned a lot about planes. I used to work at Boeing but was not familiar with this subject. This was amazing how they use State Space Method, etc . I started a QFT book, dropped it after 300 pages. Will visit again. Was fun, kind of nit picky math, not hard but requires a lot of other physics background. I am a child here . I am not in school, nobody is going to force me to learn something. I change subjects in midstream. My time, my interest, and certainly nothing to prove to others. Just Fun , as good as eating Cheese Cake my favorite.

[@LilyoftheValeyrising]

I sometimes feel too old to go to college. Mostly because I’ve forgotten a lot of what I learned in high school: Algebra I and II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Thermodynamics, Physics and pre-calculus (only one I didn’t pass). I’ve raised 6 kids who are all adults now age 34- 18. I can do what I want. I’m planning on attending college with my youngest, she wants to be an astrophysicist or astrobiologist. I’m planning on taking biology, which she is taking as well. I’m practicing in the Dummies book for the SAT, which I never took, only the PSAT, which was around 1300. So I guess it will all come back to me! I’m hoping! I’m already a trained auto mechanic… but it’s too easy. lol

[@Glocktologist]

I’m 41 and neglected homework in my youth. Trigonometry had practical applications so I got that but anything else fell out of my head. This spring, I went on a two-month binge on Khan Academy to learn algebra. It got me through entrance exams into a university of applied sciences. I’m studying mechanical engineering now and will need a solid foundation of math skills for strength calculations of machine parts. People say ”it’s never too late” and I’m like ”I’m not THAT old” but my class mates were mostly born when I had already graduated and served in the armed forces so I guess there’s a bit of a gap there. Your videos are inspiring to watch.

[@elendor3428]

I failed maths GCSE ( im from UK). At 28 I decided I wanted to do Astrophysics research so I went back to the beginning and taught myself maths up to A-level. I did an OU physics degree and along the way had a baby. It took me nearly 7 years due to various life commitments but I'm now preparing PhD applications. Age shouldnt matter if you're passionate and dedicated.

[@theboombody]

I think career-wise I'm done with learning because I already spent so much money to get a bachelors in math and a masters in accounting and it's just too darn expensive. I may be able to get certifications here and there but that would be it. And the CPA has far too much material to memorize, so I gave that up and decided to just study recreational mathematics instead. But I'm surprised how in my 40's I'm still able to learn mathematics I didn't know before - material more difficult than I've attempted in the past. Of course I don't have a prayer of catching up to Riemann or anything, but I'm happy I can still be better than I was.

[@johnpapiewski8232]

in my 40's I went to night school for math & physics, while working FT+ in software consulting. I did not consider myself good at math but worked at it, and made friends with people who were better at it than me. It took a while, more than 4 years, but got a Bs, magna cum laude.

[@trananhkiet167]

From my experience, math in uni is stupid because they dont teach me how to create a function, instead they tell me calculate and prove something bull shit as theoretical view point . but i have a better viewpoint from physic, programming, and stimulation. It said , just applied math, just do fucking it and when i do as the advice , i realized , math can be described as manny forms according Human cognition. So math in uni just a general version of smt have been proved or widely applied such as determined a formula from data analytic or computation view point basically the same . It turn out, my approach is wrong when seeing math in uni is a standard for logical . My POV here want to aware old person who might observe a event once in life , so it could be used to approach math and any science field . The word and definition might change but the philosophy isnt , so is it too late ?, well the answer is no , but job opportunity is yes. Because we living in a society build on money and competition .

This particularly resonated with me. I was terrible in maths in middle and high school, and I just feel like learning maths is something I need to do to train my mind (especially as a programmer with an IT degree) and also prove to myself that I can do it. Thank you ❤

Neurons excitement deteriorate with age. Motivation fall, desire fall.

I am so grateful to you @MathSourcerer ❤ I am 32 and started math major for a month ago which is very difficult (I had this thought that I am old and it is harder for me then for others😂) but it's gonna be alright, thank you for the reminder❤

Retirement is the worst concept ever created. What kind of critter are we to believe we *should* quit contributing while able bodied and able minded. Silliness. I will keep at it until I stop breathing.

Hello math sorcerer can you recommend some good visual math books? I want to understand math more visually because i just realized i don't have any idea whats going on even if i know how to solve a problem.

I'm 48 years old. Ironically, I feel I have better focus than when I was younger. I also feel smarter.

As much as I like the general tenor of this video, if you ever work or live with someone experiencing age-related cognitive decline, you might beg to differ. It is not, of course, age itself, but things that happen to us as we age.

Classic bait title, IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE CHANNEL.

[@BetterLife23-y7x]

Also, I suggest you make a video explaining how math and learning it can help train and "grow" the brain for pretty much any real life problem, since a lot of people are like "how will math help me in real life" 😊

[@eccentricorgan]

Math Sorcerer; you bring a humanity to the topic of math, thank you for that!

[@JP-xm3qf]

Calculus is the easiest math!, anyone can learn this baby stuff, try going into deeper levels and then this stupid advice will break down

[@jesuisravi]

agreed...by the way what is the name of that piano piece with which this video began? I know it, but don't recall by whom it was composed or what it is called.

I think the chance and skill of having power naps should be taught and implemented in any school/office

[@thorick590]

while one can study at any age where you are still able to learn, you have to be real about it. You can no longer study all day until 2am and get up at 8am the next day for classes for weeks on end. This limits how much you can learn in a prescribed time frame. In University settings the bar is high.

[@swiatlowiekuiste]

It's strange how people basically choose not to learn something that would take 5 minutes of internet search or asking AI

[@ractheworld]

To all the people sharing there experiences studying as our seniors, my sincerest thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@PodcastClips910]

This video doesn't really relate to me (I'm 20) but still motivated me to do math. Thanks

[@JasonTrool]

Okay. The first 17 seconds of the video were most important for me.

Domentia happens much more often to older people. Sometimes it starts slowly and barely noticeable

Can you tell us what is the music playing in the background?

[@Freudenfreude111]

I finished my psychology degree in my 30s and I think got more out of it by doing it later.

[@parsiabasimfar7735]

You are such an inspiration dear sir, definitely on my list of top 3 youtubers, thank you for all the encouragement

[@JP-xm3qf]

I like your motivation but I dont like your optimistic lies, as we age our cognitive abilities do change as well as the doors open

[@jacobkirkland7357]

Thank you!!! I'm 34 trying to finish an engineering degree!

[@surrealistidealist]

Regardless of age, I think diet, exercise and sleep help a lot with the kind of focusing and processing it takes to learn anything as best as you can.

[@sterlingmillhollon2520]

I'm 29 doing my master's degree in math, feeling like a failure
