Thinking to enroll in a applied mathematics masters program and focus in machine learning
You gotta add Srinivasa Ramanujan and Emmy Noether to OP. I love seeing fellow science enthusiasts on KTT.
Math was fun and all, but every time a proof was shown to me in a text, I almost always never understand them.
Writing my own proof is even more absurd for me.
Wish I was smart enough to understand and create proofs, would be a breakthrough for me.
But here’s my favorite calculus book of all time. It’s simple enough for the uninitiated like me to grasp the concepts in it, but still
challenging enough for me to bang my head against the wall. If you understand basic algebra and trig you can easily teach yourself calc with this book.
If you can conquer this book then you’ll have a great stepping stone for Spivak or Courant.
how you get good at math? Anyone know a good way to learn from scratch to calculus 2?
one thing that helps is using known numbers.
if you see some weird large numbers or strange math symbols just substitute it with small numbers and try to solve it.
math can be easy if you know the fundamentals, if you don’t even know the PEMDAS or if you you believe 3,130 is greater than 3,13 (some people actually are this bad at math) you need to take it from the beginning. Is okay to re-learn maths from the very basics and shouldn’t take you much.
If you’re good at math I envy you with every fiber of my being
You can practice and get good at it though?

I’m stuck at the 8th grade math level
Feeling defeated

Then you know you got some work to do, get on it
We got no excuse to not know math LETS F***ING LEARN
F*** Math and anybody that loves that s***
Have not come across one person that enjoys Math that isn't also pretentious as f***
On that note: f*** all the condescending basement dwellers on Math Stack Exchange
