I highly recommend reading his autobiography "I Want to be a Mathematician"

My son is completing his doctorate in cello performance. One of his early teachers was a phenomenal player from Poland. His take was to be a great cello player you had to practice 6-8 hours a day. My son does indeed practice at least 4. What does this have to do with learning mathematics? Like anything in life, actually doing the work is required to obtain mastery.

​@@kamol901 As a cellist I totally agree!

your video where you talk about "you can get up to date within 2 weeks no matter how hard the course is" really motivated me to give 100% everyday man!

I see the thumbnail, read the title and immediately have this quote in my mind, I know that is gonna come up in the video, so before clicking on it, I repeat the quote several times loudly, even though I don't even know where I got it from, I just knew it instantly. also worked on math problems for 10 hours today, sometimes I'm a little bit slow, but I think the time is worth it. Keep it up.

The really insidious thing is, watching videos can make you feel like you're getting it. But the next day, you don't have it.

It took me a while to appreciate this. Once I practice on mathematical problem it was a game changer experience.

Im very excited to learn more mathematics this summer. Your channel has provided me with so much info on learning and truths of life; thanks for your amazing videos!!!

Your camera quality it's crazy better! Thank you sorcerer

I think doing math is a great way to pass the time and better than doing puzzle books like Sudoku which I also like doing. I feel like I learn more from the problems I get wrong than the ones I get right I did 31 math problems last night and have done 10 so far today and there's still a lot of of hours left in this day

Thanks for the video

Programmers know this intuitively. The only way to learn a new programming language or framework, is hands on. No amount of reading the documentation will help. Documentation is good for reference because it is hard to remember all of this. So you forget most of the material after hands on familiarity but retain the "knack" to look things up and do it again.

Hi sir, I've been self studying mathematics and your videos have been really helpful to me. I've realised that even though I love the subject, I've had trouble with trying to score of it. I'm in my second year of college right now. In distant future, I hope to meet you. Gratitude from India. 🖤

Thanks for invoking my reading of Ivan Niven's Booklet, where he says early on, that one learns Math by doing Math. At first glance a tautology, by an excellent strategy worth analyzing! I enjoyed Halmos Naive Set Theory and Measure Theory, those were all I could afford during my student days! 👍

Very true for me, there is always a gulf between what I learn from a video and actually doing similar problems. By actually doing it for myself, I bridge the gap.

You talk about practice but what if you are just stuck due to lack of explanation by the teacher or book? I feel many students get stuck im loops where they struggle to get out of

I'd argue that KZread is for visual learners people who learn through videos, and it does help certain people. Certain people need their own pace(which a video provides, a video also provides you to go back and forth, and pause on each step of the math problem). But a video also sometimes simplifies complicated textbooks, personally I think videos are the simplest and easiest form of learning, I think reading a textbook is a lot harder. This also brings me to the teacher, the biggest benefit of a teacher is them being able to interpret the information in a much more simpler way, especially if its challenging to pick up somewhere else where, and them being in a video makes it easy I feel.

My professors would call just reading and not doing "learning by osmosis".

Another good way to learn is to write a book on the subject matter (just for your own consumption if needs be). I've done this for set theory and logic. Many of the proofs in sources are often skeletal or non existent so it's quite challenging writing complete rigorous proofs.

Everything starts with passion and motivation to get through rough patches.

Do math with the help of a great tutor is really great! 👍 ❤

Hey Math sorcerer do you have a course on Geometry?

Edit: IS and WAS a great read. Paul Erdos was my hero as a teenager n a early 20s maths major n till this day n the traveling suitcase was a great read

I`m reading the cool book right now. It is called "The Psychology of Money", author is Morgan Housel.

Ok

I had the honor of getting to know Dr Georg Berzsenyi when I was in high school. Hungary sure churned out some straight up geniuses

Great vid! Prof. Halmos has been a true inspiration for me. He said" don't just read it.... Fight it!" and that is so true! Do the exercises on your own, try to figure things out, find interesting proofs or counterexamples. I do math daily (foundations like logic, set theory and math proofs from How to Prove it by Daniel Velleman and Book of Proof by Richard Hammack). Absolutely love it when I get to self study math without any deadlines, pressure to study for tests.

This should be something we’re told in elementary school. You will not learn math unless you solve problems. It’s just a fact. Math is relevant in almost all stem fields. The more mathematically competent humanity is, the better we are for it.

Do you have any videos on the subject of AI and it's relationship to a motivation or lack of motivation to learning math? The reason for my question is that it would appear AI will make Learning math moot at some point. Agree? Disagree?
