Күн бұрынIn this video I will show you how to learn math with no previous background. I will show you a book and give you a step by step process which you can follow to learn math. The book covers the very basics of algebra as well as some statistics and probability theory. It is called Everything You Need to Ace Pre-Algebra and Algebra I in One Big Fat Notebook.

If anyone is having doubts, I learned math from zero after graduating high school. Like I didn't even know fractions. I now have a bachelor's of engineering in chemical engineering. And you too can learn math, just like I did. I highly suggest KZfaq to supplement your learning and you will thank yourself for it. As math is used everyday.

I'm 81 years old, and always had the dream of being a mathematician; and although I had a paper published once in the Journal of Symbolic Logic in 1988, The False Assumption Underlying Berry's Paradox, and have created the foundation of a new set theory, I don't really know math, or set theory for that matter, at all. This video points the way, it seems, or at least gives a place to start. So I'm going to get the book and see how far I can go with and beyond it in the limited time I have left. What an inspiration is this video!

I recently have gotten into mathematics using a book called 'Understanding Numbers in Elementary School Mathematics' by Hung Hsi-Wu. It's actually written for school teachers so they can understand what they're teaching their students at a deeper level. The deeper level of explanation helps a lot for self learners and it's also already written in a pyramid order building the base so you can move upwards.

I'm actually self studying using your Udemy class College Algebra, I bought several books you recommended (in your first video last year and in the recent one as well), but instead of paper I use my iPad Air and the app GoodNotes 5. To prevent distractions, I turn on Do Not Disturb. So I can follow Udemy on my Mac, writing on my iPad and using my iPhone as a timer. To me the benefit of using a notes app on my iPad, is that it takes no space and I can review my notes (usually on Sunday). Like you, I learn by reading and writing, so it helps to achieve both. I'm 42 and self studying math to help me prepare to return to college next September. Your channel is a blessing. Thank you for your amazing content.

Thanks for the great video!. Your videos always inspires me to keep learning mathematics. It would be helpful if you could make a future video on utilizing GPT3 or other AIs for learning mathematics. The GPT3 plugin for logseq is just awesome and I did already challenge it with some IMO questions. I think it did a reasonable job of solving them and presenting step-by-step solutions. For example, Me: For any nonempty set S of real numbers, let σ(S) denote the sum of the elements of S. Given a set A of n positive integers, consider the collection of all distinct sums σ(S) as S ranges over the nonempty subsets of A. Prove that this collection of sums can be partitioned into n classes so that in each class, the ratio of the largest sum to the smallest sum does not exceed 2. GPT: Proof: We will prove this by induction on n. Base Case: When n = 1, the set A contains only one positive integer, say a. Then the collection of all distinct sums σ(S) as S ranges over the nonempty subsets of A is just {a}. This can be partitioned into one class, and the ratio of the largest sum to the smallest sum is 1, which does not exceed 2. Inductive Step: Assume that the statement is true for n = k. We will prove it for n = k + 1. Let A = {a1, a2, ..., ak, ak+1} be a set of k + 1 positive integers. Let S1 = {a1, a2, ..., ak} and S2 = {a1, a2, ..., ak, ak+1}. Then the collection of all distinct sums σ(S) as S ranges over the nonempty subsets of A is {σ(S1), σ(S2)}. By the inductive hypothesis, the collection of all distinct sums σ(S) as S ranges over the nonempty subsets of S1 can be partitioned into k classes so that in each class, the ratio of the largest sum to the smallest sum does not exceed 2. Let C1, C2, ..., Ck be these k classes. Then the collection of all distinct sums σ(S) as S ranges over the nonempty subsets of A can be partitioned into k + 1 classes as follows: C1 ∪ {σ(S2)}, C2 ∪ {σ(S2)}, ..., Ck ∪ {σ(S2)}. In each of these classes, the ratio of the largest sum to the smallest sum is at most 2. Therefore, by induction, the statement is true for all n.

A math book with answers! Phenomenal! Texts with answers only to odd-numbered problems don't encourage students to attempt even-numbered problems. If you don't know where you're going, how do you know when you get there?

Due to having Cystic Fibrosis I basically skipped elementary and middle school. I pretty much started in the 10th grade. I went on to graduate from a good tech school (electronics). I did very well, but there were definitely gaps in my knowledge of mathematics. I recently bought this book based on your recommendation. I plan on learning everything I can. I'm particularly interested in geometry and calculus. I know I have a long way to go but, I'd like to thank you for helping inspire me to continue. You rock.

Funny story, when I was young I always felt bad about being weak in math. My schooling wasn't good and as a new immigrant I had to keep switching schools as my parents explored their job options. I actually didn't pursue computer science since I was weak in math. Long story short, after graduating with a useless degree, I started going to the local library. It took my 8 months of constant studying to go from grade 10 level math to knowing calculus. It was one of the best things I have done with my life. Now I am software developer. I still think about math every now and then for computer graphics haha

I remember when I jumped into college algebra, as I was 50 years old and decided to get my bachelor's. Well, I did not take any math for 20+ years. What I did is start from the BEGINNING. I bought this book that went from basic math all the way to algebra, statistics and some trig. It was just one book and I studied it DAILY. I definitely needed that basic math because my instructor was anti-calculator and the only time she allowed it was when it was mandatory to use. Anything you could figure out without a calculator you had to do by hand. So half the exams were without a calculator and the rest was with one. It was online college algebra and I ended up studying about 6 to 8 hours a day but I made an "A" in the class. Most of the students dropped out because she was tough. I have my Master's degree now. But learning from scratch is essential. I mean training your brain to do problems by hand without a calculator--addition, subtraction, multiplication, division problems, proved essential. If you do not do these problems by hand, I guarantee you will forget how. It is not everyday you do long division, or dealing with fractions. So you really DO have to relearn everything---but the process is rapid as long as you study DAILY. KZfaq was very helpful. There are times you WILL get stuck but there is always some instructor who will explain how to do it in simple terms. I remember some of those algebra problems are super LONG. I mean you are on your second or third page still working on a single problem! If you mess up (usually SIMPLE math error) you screwed up the whole problem. She had weekly TIMED mandatory quizzes and the tests went over several chapters, mandatory to take them at the college as they were proctored. If you miss two quizzes she would give an "F" to the student and she never gave points or dropped your worst exam grade. Online is a LOT harder than in person. But as I was working I chose to go that route. She was tough but I sure loved that professor. She was awesome! PS: I normally suck in math. IF I CAN MAKE A's in math, so can you.

This reminds of the “Humungous Book of…” by W. Michael Kelley. It’s possibly the same concept just a different publisher. Kelley’s books look like a text with margin notes written around them. I didn’t catch an author for the book you reviewed, yet it may be done in a similar pedagogy. Kelley has topics in arithmetic, algebra, probability, and calculus. I don’t recall the publisher.
@nmionline9003 Жыл бұрын
Update: The publisher appears to be DK for original books and Alpha for reprint copies. They average about $15-$25 depending upon condition. Some answers are on the same page as the original question, unlike this book. Just close the Kelley book after copying the information onto a page of paper. Solve it and check your work in the book. Extra step, but not difficult.
