BIIIIIIIG moves

𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 if you like gettin' learnt

Got a little carried away with the punch zooms but they keep it spicy so its staying that way

How the axiomatic method is the shape of mathematics, and how the self-educator, by understanding its structure, can learn mathematics on their own from reading math textbooks.

I thought I was the only weirdo wanting to learn mathematics just for the pleasure & pain of it. Glad to see there is a small tribe of us! Man, your video was very engaging - love the passion! Keep going brother. I’m joining this journey…

People call us madmen. But we are mathmen

Most textbooks are surprisingly good when you’re not forced to do a disparate set of assigned problems and have to do labs, reports, and study for 4 other classes

To someone trying to self study starting from nothing, I recommend to learn discrete math first since it’ll lay a foundation for logic, proofs, and set theory.

It is probably the best way to learn. No pressure of classes or homework assignments and math teachers who talk too fast and don't like questions. One must meditate on and savor the equations to make it understood at a deep level.

I literally spent this evening trying to explain to my girlfriend why I wanted to try and get back into mathematics with a goal of delving into higher level pure math and physics. What an insane community to randomly stumble into the very same night. Amazing.

Even if just on the side, I would love so dearly to be able to actually play with the questions that never leave the back of my mind.

This is why I love YouTube. I’m glad I’m not the only weirdo who enjoys math as a hobby.

I'm the single one who has a teacher who is horrible at teaching and wants to self teach it?

@gabitheancient7664 4 years ago (edited)

the axiom thing makes math extremely useful for science cus by small simple scientific discoveries, observations or hypothesis, you can develop a REALLY powerful theory that's based in not so many assumptions

like, REALLY powerful, and it can make predictions, I mean, that's the point of science

Your channel is incredibly motivating. As a high school student who's planning on self studying higher mathematics, this channel is definitely a place that I will come to a lot over the years. It is very unique of a kind. Please do not stop making videos no matter what.

I'm a physics major and I'm really passionate about math, so my physics program only offers analysis and linear algebra so i self study the hardcore stuff but i barely find time.

OH GOD !! If I ever have this type of library then I would probably never return to my home.

The self study, to me, is one hell of a rewarding activity! I've been learning the math prerequisites for intermediate level physics for about a year and half now, while taking the introductory physics sequence. I can work on all the prerequisites comfortably without the stress and cramming experienced and done in college.

I think I had a similar epiphany when I first read some of Euclid's work and I saw his fundamental axioms and how they functioned within the proofs. I think that was when I fell in love with Math as like a logical form of poetry. Everything in Math makes perfect sense, that's literally what makes it Math. Now, I'm midway through a degree in Applied Math's!

I really like the analogy that studying math or physics, or any other technical discipline really, is like climbing an impossibly big growing mountain. You can't even come close to exploring the whole thing in your lifetime. It's growing at a shocking pace, so you couldn't even do it if you were immortal. For a mountain this insurmountable there is no destination, only the climb. You can fantasize about reaching the next peak. You can even reach it with enough time and effort. But there will always be another peak and you can't reach it if you don't enjoy the climb.

I do syntopic reading for work: Engineering, Physics & Math.
Two books at the same level may cover "the same stuff" but often have very different approaches to the subject. Working through derivations, examples and problems are still invaluable when "dusting-off" previous material, and learning new stuff. Also, diving into "The Old Stuff" is an adventure into ingenious minds from the past.

Physics major but I think I have love affair with pure maths. Subbed instantly.

@rtnjo6936 4 years ago

I want to create a channel exactly like yours but about neuroscience and search for mechanisms of intelligence in species. You gave me motivation and ideas on how to do it, Thank you!)

I wanted to know why massless photons (light) was bent by heavy objects. After two years of teaching myself classical mechanics, Lagrangians, tensor calculus, special relativity, differential geometry and general relativity, I now know the secret: it does not bend. It was worth the trip.
