All we do need basic math! Of course math is important, but for the most of us, unless it's required by our jobs ex. statistical math: math becomes a waste of energy - software engineering student

I still hate math. 😒

Been out of High School almost 20 years, and I have yet to use any of that geometry I suffered through.

2. Why should I care about my ex...

Once you've been through the treadmill of high school maths and all those crappy experiences who wants to return to learning something you hate and despise

Math Anxiety is the real blame, it could passed on by one student/teacher to another.

I was really good in math but stopped working on it when I first discovered entrepreneurship. Mathematics really is a pain in the head because the amount of thinking needed is above ordinary, but its an amazing feeling when you finally get the answer

I said that “I hat math” because it is from the bottom of my heart

Him: math is like a new language Me: yea...a very hard one

For me, like most #8 was the biggest one. Besides this #5. I was actually good at math and loved it an early age naturally, but it only takes one horrible teacher, who I experienced in high school which made me stop learning it. Funny how these teachers are supposed to make us want to learn, but are often the reason we stop. Anyway I had to do math again when going back to school in college since I'm in computer science, and actually came to love it again though it started with hate for calculus LOL

Hey Pat, greetings from Croatia we really appreciate your content. Thank you so much

I would rather learn 5 new languages than math, hahah! - I can do it, and I do also realize that it's very important in a business. It just isn't the kind of thing that comes naturally to me, so it's very difficult and very few things stick! I am, and was, grateful for my notes! (And my math teacher was actually awesome!)

People who understand money and wealth are normally very good at math. Winning and losing in anything is all about math. - Thank you Patrick!

8 reasons why people love meth

Sorry but M.A.T.H. the bane of my existence, the reason I dropped out of college. I have no regrets. It's been 12 years, I'm never going back.

- Maths is “Like learning a new language, and we don’t like learning a new language”: wrong. I hate maths but enjoy languages. - “Maths is simply a language”: no, it isn’t, it’s a system of reasoning. As Cedric Villani (mathematician, Fields medallist) pointed out, there is a language instinct: babies start to communicate naturally. But maths isn’t a natural subject. It has to be acquired, or learnt. - “Why should I care about X?” I agree. Why should I? - “Cool to hate maths”: I agree with Mr Bet-David when he says it’s stupid to say or think this. I’m bad at maths and have been since the age of 10 - I even hate the subject. But I don’t find this cool: I’m not ashamed either. It’s just the way things are. - “What’s the point? I’m never going to use maths in my life”: exactly! I chose a career with no maths: I’m a journalist (retired). My father was also bad, even very bad, at maths. He was a language teacher, so he never needed maths for his job. So how do I work out quantities, proportions, when I cook? How do I work out shopping bills, etc? Simple: I can do very elementary arithmetic. And I know how to use a calculator. - “Only nerds are good at maths”: Mr Bet-David is right again: the statement is stupid. The friends I have who love maths are certainly not nerds. By the way, one of them tried to help me understand a few “elementary” points about two years ago. After a few weeks exchanging emails and Facebook messages she gave up, saying she didn’t understand how my mind works. - “Horrible teachers”: they may play a part but in school when I was always “bottom of the class” in maths, other kids managed well enough, so the teachers can’t have been that bad. - “Everything in life is maths”: so? What if it is? It doesn’t mean you have to know how to calculate a GCD or a LCM, to solve algebraic equations, or to multipy fractions. I’ve never needed to. - “It’s a game”: yes, I agree that it can be construed as such. But I don’t find all games interesting or fun. - The brain is not a “muscle” although I understand what Mr Bet-David means and I agree that you have to exercise it. But there are other ways of doing that. - Maths gives you “better decision making”, better “certainty and confidence”: perhaps. I wouldn’t know. - Rekindling my old relationship: up to the age of ten, I learnt simple arithmetic and geometry. I had no great difficulty learning these, and understood why they were useful. But I never actually enjoyed the subject. There never was a real “relationship”. Lastly, Mr Bet-David, who seems likeable, tends to simplify matters. The reasons why people hate maths are often far more complex and deep-rooted than he indicates. The problem with him and so many others is that he has never stepped inside my shoes- experienced the real sense of horror, powerlessness, boredom when faced with a maths subject… when the mind goes blank and you feel a sort of numbness in the arms and hands. I'm far from alone in feeling that way. That is phobia. It’s far deeper than he seems to think. And until he, and others, try to understand it, maths will remain a deeply unpopular subject to many. Let him tell us why maths, unlike any other school subject, is capable of triggering such reactions of loathing?

As an entrepreneur and mathematician, I really appreciate you making this video. I used to work for an insurance and finance planning company, and I can tell you guys that the amount of math used is huge. The more you know how to apply math to a business, the bigger the advantage you will have against your competitors.

Math must be build on a logical foundation when taught in school. Instead what happens is that majority try to learn it like a poem, and teachers over the years end up teaching it like a poem to have higher pass results on their record. Consumer asks, seller gives. How maths is taught has to be restructured in school around the world. We need to move to logic based problem solving using maths as a tool, and not tech kids to learn off formulas like a poem that they will forget ones they leave school. Programmers have books and access to online libraries at their desk because they understand the logic of programming and don't need to learn off exact code to write a program. So why do we teach kids maths like a poem that you will forget unless you recite it often is beyond my understanding. I myself fell in love with maths after I finished University.

I'm 17 and I didn't use trigonometry in all these years.

I can't do a math problem and I'm literally having a mental breakdown

Much love, from someone who hates math all 36 years of my life with a BS degree returning to college to major in math.

My math teacher says that doing math is like going to a gym. You do not go to a gym to lift heavy stuffs, but to build muscles. You do not math to (necessarily) become engineers or use it in daily life, but to train your brain.

Math is language that explains universe in more undersandable way

when he says "everything around you is math", that math isn't complex like finding the derivative of a limit or finding the equation of a line. We do need to know math like 8+4=12 and stuff like that. We don't need to know 6x+8x^3y^2

I would disagree that everything is math. I personally love math and have always excelled at it, but everything can be explained by physics, and I consider math to be simply the greatest tool ever designed for the purpose of physics. In essence, as someone (can't remember who) already said, "Math is the language in which the Universe was written.".

I can genuinely say with everything in my heart and soul that I FUCKING HATE MATH

For someone from Croatia like myself it is awesome to see you in your new Croatian football jersey. :)

As I can remember my first math class, teacher tries to find a candidate for a school contest. She asked me to stand and what subject I liked. It came out naturally " I don't know why but math is what I like the most. "

Thank you for this video. Loved it! As a child I only loved three things: Reading, painting and math. My love of math changed in middle school. So for a long time I thought I was not cut out for it. But it wasn’t true. I started working in payroll 3 years ago and I was shocked how much I loved using numbers in that way. The finance aspect really interested. I got a really sweet boss who trained me. Although you don’t need to Einstein to do Payroll but math and detective work comes in very handy. I learned new skill and job! I remember I asked a math teacher once - “what do you tell your students to inspire them to learn math well” and she said “I tell them that the effort they put forth in resolving a math problem will give them the resilience to tackle any problem they face in life”. Thank you again for this video. It was really great!!

Croatia!!!!!! Love the jersey man 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

It’s not even the point of struggling with it- I hate it with a passion at the bottom of my soul. I have no interest in it and it’s like solving pointless puzzles that’s pointless because it prevent me from passing when I want nothing to do with it at alllll. Also it has nothing to do with my future

All I need is a good teacher, a teacher who doesn't scream at me when I answered the wrong answer in the board!

math is fine its just we hate the constant homework with it

I was never good at math. I know if I really take the time, it'd be beneficial to me.

Math is nothing like learning a new language...

Yes let me watch a person who loves math tell me why I should love math. Biggest downside to math is the major complex built around it. Appreciations to the Art and history will always be superior to any time consuming math problem. Because unlike math is makes us question ourselves in reality and evolve accordingly.

THAK YOU PAT BET DACID,you made my life a whole lot better,i am from small country in Europa,in Serbia and i like math and entrpenership,you are my idlo,my mentor,my torch who guides me,keep a good work and all the best to you and your familiy!!!

It depends on the "crowd" you hang with. I surround myself with people who value intelligence. There's only about three of us, but we pride ourselves in being intellectuals (or thinking we are 🤣), there is no room for willful ignorance.

Pat you are just a show stealer, you have learnt the art, that people can't stop loving you. You are just Awesome!!!

Maths teachers are cut from the same cloth as dentists. They enjoy enflicting pain on others when they totally believe they are doing good.

I hated math in high school. Now I’m majoring in physics with a minor in economics. Math is useful lol. I’m in calc 3 at the moment and I finally see its usefulness.

Hi Patrick I saw this Video with my Daughter 12 years old She got so impressed you got a New Subscriber and We both Father and Daughter Love Math

I think math is fun. Learning new stuff and the feeling when you finally understand or solve a difficult problem. It's great. Then you have kids that say. "I haven't understood it on 10 years, so I won't understand it now" and then goes to play on his phone. Even the teacher tries to help them, they won't be successful, because they have already decided that this is to hard for them, and they will not really try at all. Of course they hate math. No one likes things they suck at. I was never good at drawing. I liked the calming effect just coloring between the lines and stuff felt, but I hated when we was supposed to draw something, because I sucked. After a while I kind of gave up and put less effort in to drawing tasks, because I knew the outcome would be bad anyway. I assume that is what some people feel about math. What you need is someone to teach it to you in a new way, a way you can understand. I learned perspective drawing, because that I understood how to do. A new way of drawing. While math often have one defined answer, there are many ways to get there. At one meeting of some sort in an office, the participants was asked to figure out the answer to 5*18 in their mind and just raise their hand without saying anything when thy was done. It was 6 people at that meeting and they all solved in their own unique way. I did it before looking at the answers or methods and I used a 7th method. Same problem, only 1 answer, but at least 7 different ways to find it. So while math can be static, the key to it is to learn to play with numbers. Just don't memorice that 2*7 is 14. Understand why that is true.

I love math. It's awesome! So many applications. If my teacher sucked, I just self taught the topics. I'm actually going more in depth into calculus, differentials and linear just to master Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Today, i replied to someone’s roblox forum thread about math problems and i refused to answer a math problem because math sucks

I was ok with math,and then my new math teacher makes it harder to understand, now I hate math. But thanks to you, I am now gonna try to accept and overcome the x and y :-)

I would say number one problem when learning math is group going forward when you have missed lessons that every lesson after that is based upon. Its like teacher speaks language that you don't understand because you missed that one thing. I once taught in ONE evening a girl who got near failing grades to above average in a math course, and I'm not a math teacher. I just found that her real problem was she wasn't taught well the basics of calculating with variables (x,y...) and years of math lessons where largely wasted because the teacher didn't do good job or she was sick and missed a lecture where they taught the basic language that the later math lessons where based upon.

I fucking hate math

I'm 63 yrs old trying to relearn math. I know why I hated math. It started right at the beginning with a sadistic nun who made me stand in front of the whole class at the black board with a math problem I could not solve. She gave me no help only humiliation for 3 hrs until the bell rang. And it only got worse from there as you know math builds on what comes before. The only thing I ever understood in algebra class was factoring because not knowing multiplication or division I had always depended on factoring for survival in math class. I feel angry like I was cheated out of something through sere meanness.

Math makes me question my intelligence at times

teachers are usually not bad, it's students giving attitude when they're wrong and then ignoring every teacher's attempt to help them that creates the problem

I think another thing worth thinking about is the excuse of not needing it. Its the biggest justification for not liking math bit there are 2 answers to go against this in my opinion. 1 is simply working at harder levels of math makes you better at the basics. and 2 the true answer that'll be too long to add it all here is that school systems are made extremely broad to teach hundreds to thousands of students. in doing so, so many people study different subjects to find what they're good at and what they like and how to proceed after school is over because you never truly stop learning unless you're already dead inside. can go much deeper but a book could almost be written about it.

I wouldn't say I've always loved math, but I didnt understand why people hated it. You do this, you do that, you get an answer. I didn't love math until taking philosophy, quantum mechanics, and classical mechanics in college. But philosophy was the big one

I love math, But I always respect other's opinion and try to help them understand math, Because, In math class, After I’m done answering a seatwork, I’m the favorite student of my teacher in math because I am fast at it and very smart, But when someone doesn’t understand, My teacher assigns me to help them, but I don’t know how to teach so.. I still love math with all my heart though.

Are you Croatian?

love number 8. I was terrible at math for years then in 11th grade I got the right teacher that knew how to explain things to me. she simply answered all of my questions. Ever since my math has been on point. As for math in cooking, there's SO MUCH MATH. The math is so specific when you get to a high level we don't measure ingredients by volume rather by weight because it's more accurate.

School math was boring, real life math is interesting.

😁Hey fellow entrepreneurs, Wanted to say keep striving!! Im dreaming to become a big your KZfaqr, we make racing videos. What do you guys do?

Hey Patrick I will really appreciate it if you can do product vs services. which is better and why

the 6th point where there is no debate in math is true up until a certain point. Once you get to more complex subjects there is actually some debate. As example is 1/infinity it is debatable. Some people say it is 0 while others say it is 0 point infinite 0s 1.

Apparently Patrick never had to take bunch of calculus, statistic, linear algebra, number theory, graph theory, set theory, relational calculus and many in more university without any chance to have real life example or a hope that they can be used in a job

I'd rather get creative! I had a terrible maths teacher. But budgeting is important. I look forward to being in control of my life and having financial independence.

1. Vision Problems 2. Math books having you the basics and expecting you to solve complex problems that weren't talked about. Most people will forget what they don't practice. 3. One minor error = redo it

I had a teacher in elementary school who taught both math and science and to me I think he was the best teacher in that grade.

The thing about math is that, unlike most subjects like history and science, I either get math right away and pass the class easily, or I don't get it at all. I can add and subtract with tremendous ease, but geometry? Never made a bit of sense to me, so I failed the class and learned to hate geometry.

Math is the language of the universe, anyone who loves to gain knowledge will like (not necessarily love) maths. I know my basic algebra and quadratics but nothing beyond that level. But no one should 'hate' maths, maths can give you skills with money all the way to discovering the secrets of the universe.

You know basically I don't think people should hate maths. I mean it depends upon you and your teacher. I really lost my interest in math for a long time but now I got a really good teacher so he makes me feel math like being a part of me so that I could understand better. Teachers also make all the difference. So you all could just take a look at your situations and try to solve it like a math problem. BUT if you got a good teacher but you still hate maths then LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dear Algebra, Please stop asking us to help you get back your X. She’s not coming back for you. She told us she’ll never Z you again. And also, Y do you keep asking us? We’re only kids and teenagers. You Z, we don’t know where your X lives, so whenever we bump into her, we ask what you need. She always says no, so maybe you should stop asking us. From, School

Honestly this video has made me really think about why I don't really like maths and it's because I just never thought of it as being so important but now with this video opening my eyes (just let me be dramatic) I need to know maths the good and the bad before it's too late.

love your videos Patrick, i just might give it a shot !

im a lazy person, what math does to me is that it makes me want to try, which makes me go to the point of being so angry. i will honestly prefer math to be simple for students who doesnt want a job involving complex mathematics, because it will be a waste of time and education in the subject, unless its really important. sorry for my bad english.

This video gave me confidence at revisiting my "ex" again. Thanks Pat! Math doesn't seem so daunting when you lay it out like that.

I click on this video just to see the reason why he wear this t-shirt i end up seeing the whole video hahahhah

Great content! Great T-shirt! Greetings from Croatia!

Dang Pat! I was going to show this to my middle school students until the comment about climax. Great content! Appreciate your videos.

I’ve hated math since I was a child .

Pat's telling the truth....such a love/hate relationship.

Pat with number 8 i struggled for. 5 year straight. With maths. Precalculus. Untill i found. Thr right teacher whom i could understand

Hey Pat, nice to see you wearing my country jersey. :)) Great video once again, have to say that IMO behind every successful entrepreneur is math-like way of thinking, you can analyse and put every move of your on paper to predict results. And it just requires pretty much basics and lots of practice (to include as much variables as possible). Btw-are you visiting Croatia anytime soon? As a young entrepreneur, it would be a pleasure to meet my yt mentor. Have a nice day :)

I wanted to know the strengths and weaknesses of selling patent versus creating a business since essentially it about selling an invention

Many people wouldnt have a problem with math if things didnt go out of practical math. Instead of teaching integrals if they made you practice daily problems and geometry whole country would be better about a lot of subjects. I constantly see people who can solve very hard problems yet many times they are about to add numbers using their fingers. Wiring your mind to practical math saves lives. Forcing children and teenagers to something they wont use is very counter productive. Many teachers said math increases your logic etc. just imagine instead of 8 years of useless math you took economics, marketing, discipline... Whole country would be prosprous.

Never in my life in this God forsaken world would I ever thought I would hear someone utter the words *"sex.. all math"*

Math teachers that are available aren't great because talent who are capable of teach calculus can most likely work at a company like Google which pays way more than a high school teacher. Mathematical ability has decreased over the years and it can even be seen in standardized testing. Even the math tests have become less math and more reading. Einstein, who was dyslexic, would definitely not approve reading a paragraph to solve a basic problem.

i love all your videos thx for sharing REAL business and life knowledge

My teacher at college put this video on to the entire class yesterday, but he only played 2 minutes. Very informative!

I love my mathematics teachers, I just HATE math itself. I'm going to be a writter, an artist. When the hell I'll ever use it?? It makes me feel stupid. I'm always worse than other kids in school at maths. Maths were born to make me hated my stupidity, myself

In my opinion, The reason some people hate math is because they don't know the importance of math in real life, An I believe that, "Math" is another name for "Solution"!

Par komentara ljudi sa Balkana otkrivaju par imena koja će se izdvajati po uspešnosti. Idemo. 👊 Samo napred prijatelji, sve najbolje i ogromne uspehe na svim poljima vam želim.

I used to be really good at math until 1 year ago, i was able to complete every math test i had to do. Then i stopped doing math homework cuz i felt like i didn't need to.... worst decision i could make, my marks dropped and i wasn't as much mentally flexible as before. Thanks for the wake up call pat, i'll give more to math this year, ask her on a date and hope she gets me back.

While math is indeed a language , nothing about the learning the rules has any visual qualities to it, so it's a lot like trying to learn a language from standing on one side of the grand canyon while your on the other. The translation process of concepts that make the rules something that is relatable so you can speak the language of math that happens in learning a language is almost impossible because the terms are abstract in concept. The terms of the language of math has no reference except to the language of math. You can find common terms among all other languages such as in one language the word sun is translatable to any other language that has a verbal reference to the sun. In short the exclusive language of math makes it harder to learn and understand.

No Math - no business guys. Furthermore - in business Math is fascinating thing. It shows how the system You build advances and it exactly indicates weak and strong points. If to manage to write business automatically... would something fantasticly gorgeous! I am jealous for physicists who can see the world through Math...

Awesome video..thank you for sharing Valuetainment

Lot's of sciences are absolute. Can't believe we debate about climate change rather than working together to solve the problem or see a truth for what it is.

Great video as always PBD!! Love your content and the great value :) keep it up

Im one of the worst person on earth at math... tell us where to start, how to start, what to learn for how long ??

pat you have my countrys nation football team T shirt Croatia love it. Thanks for your advice and the work you do on youtube you are very inspiring. Marko from Croatia ;)

Croatia

I honestly hate math because I fell behind in high school (still in high school) I started off as advance math in middle school and fell below average in high school.

People says (I hate math) and scores A in math And some of us tries to do best and actually kinda love maths but scores B/C in it !! Pointless
