I moved to a new school. Decided to just keep to myself. Eventually one day I realized the entire class, including the teacher, were discussing what a useless piece of shit I am. I suppose what hurt the most was that teachers are at least suppose to pretend to like you but I guess I was such shit that I didn't even get that much. When I asked for a better explanation of what "dy/dx" or anything I was told to just memorize it and they refused to give me any more than that etc. Unfortunately most go through school with an absolutely terrible experience like me.

Even negative numbers are imagined. There are no -1 apples in any real cart. If you believe good historians, even 0 was an invention by ancient Hindus -- assuming my memory serves, but you can check that out with google. When we shift from math to life, things become even more fun: try to think about something "real", meaning not imaginary, not something you've imagined. You can say, many things. Table, sky, my hand, people, planets, .... Do you really know that they are real? Where is the proof, or justification? Others agree with you? Could it then be our collective imagination? Remember Socrates who said that he knew he didn't know, and kept challenging others who were convinced that they knew things. Or, take Descartes who admitted that all could be a dream -- can you convince yourself that it is not? Well, this is what Eddie suggested, isn't it? Thinking deeply about things, not just mathematical things, but, daily things, lively things... To make it more practical, think what do you really want? What makes you happy? What makes you scared, or angry? When are you at peace, content? When are you annoyed and why, with your little sibling, or spouse, or friend, or parent? Is it really justified? Here is a challenge for you: no upset is justified. It is caused by some thought in the mind. Not what happens, but how we interpret it is what keeps us troubled. Have fun! Be still. Peace.

I am pretty sure a large percentage of your students grow loving math. You can't say that for the average math teacher

I had an instinctive habit of always asking "WHY??" Because of it, university became a cognitive burden for me, as I hated having more and more engineering math thrown at me for the sake of the syllabus. It got really bad; I felt like my mind was going to assassinate me if I didn't question everything. Have you ever had non-stop math/physics dreams, woken up in a sweat at 2 in the morning while your roommate sleeps soundly across the room, and had a genuine panic attack because the (probably) legitimate holes in classroom content logic and the "why?"'s won't stop pounding on your head. I got fatigued with the American educational system and dropped out. It sucks because I was a top student throughout my time there, but sometimes the promise of a degree isn't worth it. University education really messed with me in ways that I'm still dealing with 2 years later. I gave up a $60k a year full academic scholarship for peace of mind, and I mostly don't regret it. Engineering math is especially bad because you're given MODELS of physical systems and asked to do creative things with them, and provided rules of thumb for when they work and when they break down, and when we have to switch to alternate models. Just because something works doesn't mean it makes sense. True story. We live in a "practical" society where asking why is the hardest way to live and thrive. It's easier to take things as they are. Marcus Aurelius once said something to the effect of, "if you live your life according to someone else's conceptions in the hope that one day you will have the wealth to buy your freedom of action, you will never find freedom." If it means that much to you, you just need to start asking questions now. And when you're feeling particularly whimsical, maybe even following it up with a savory "what if?" These days I'm the lead founder at a yet-unnamed startup developing a machine-learning algorithm that correlates the dynamic states of 3D objects in an observed environment in real-time and feeds said models into a probabilistic physics engine that helps self-driving cars navigate the real world via stereoscopic depth perception (computer vision). This is different from industry practice where you just feed a neural net billions of training examples (of that one town in Arizona or whatever) and let the computer get better at driving. We want our correlation-MLA to require as little example data as possible while gaining insight into the coupled states of entities in the environment (via our in-development probabilistic-physics engine). School hasn't worked for me sadly; too many questions, not enough time to understand deeply. In a way, that's the whole premise of our learning model: it learns by extracting coupling patterns in data so the insight of the model is far deeper than a traditional ML model. Best wishes Eddie, & wonderful discussion! Greetings from the USA.

I find myself in the same boat every once in a while, for example, maths and asking my teacher specifically about certain aspects of a problem AFTER they have explained it to me and given me an answer, most of the time they just repeat what they said assuming that I didn't understand the explanation, when in reality I want to exactly figure out why it works that way, but eventually I give up and move on after realizing that they don't have full and perfect insight of what they are teaching but only memorized is certain ways. When I tackle maths (or any concept for a matter of fact) I want to know every possible perspective and a specific 360 view of it. Unfortunately many times I have been let down and just go with it the way it's been explained.

I'm certain I would have embraced maths as a child if I had Eddie Woo as my teacher! Wow thank you for these wonderfully clear and imaginative explanations.

Very few teachers focus on ingraining critical thinking among the students. Kudos!

This was the problem i faced in School. My Math teachers would just go on and write out theories and formulas on board, and expect us to memorize them and spit them out back on the test. But, they never really explained us why a theory is the way it is, or why this formula actually works, they failed to engage students into thinking deeply, and that's why many people hate math. Because they don't know how to think deeply...

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I went through that too ... certainly in college ... and recently when I tried to figure out music theory, which I think I did, on perhaps my 8th try in the last 40 years I took a shot at it. I'm sure it took me 50 hours to understand it enough to 'see through it' so I could simplify it enough to see the underpinning. But I'll be very honest with you ... I hope you're a bit obsessive so you can just plain figure it out yourself. I think the greatest lesson from school is to strive to make it superfluous - just plainly accept that you'll simply have to start learning to enjoy being relentless. I remember learning to write in college ... which for me means I taught myself how to write while in college. I was an engineering student and we were not allowed to take English ... yes really. There was one technical writing class but I don't know why I couldn't get it. Regardless, the situation was that I needed to write, really file, a petition to the Faculty of the school to get permission to drop a course far later than usual. Well this was a major big deal for me ... this was a core course. I am sure I spent over 120 hours writing that petition. Maybe it was two or three typed pages? But being an obsessive kind of person I could just ... not ... let... it .. go ... and if you're just plain relentless about it you just plain get the answer you need.

This can apply to everyday life not just math. I find it useful to contemplate a lot of things that other people may not care about. Keeps me sane and busy when I’m bored.

this really shows how much of a difference a teacher can make to a student's learning. i always hated math and never enjoyed it. I'm sure many people can even relate to crying because of math, trying to figure out a problem but just getting no correct answers. even when you figured the answer out you don't fully get it and understand it. math was always so frustrating. it was not until my previous school year where i started doing well in math when i truly understood the concepts. i really wish i stumbled across this channel sooner, as most of the things he's explaining i have spent years just memorizing. if only i knew i could achieve much higher scores in math classes if i had just spent more time trying to understand how everything worked. now i do not despise math as much as i used to- in fact, i am looking forward to my coming school year to see what new math lessons I'll be learning. I cannot believe i went from crying and hating on math to binging his videos explaining math at 1 o'clock in the morning for entertainment 😂

Best motivational teacher ever for digging on simple things to understand deeply. Thank you Sir......

I've seen three of this guys videos now and all three were great. I asked myself why they were so great, came up with a satisfactory answer, and then asked myself why I thought that answer was satisfactory. And then I asked myself "what if all teachers were this good?"

I had the same problem a lot of other people here seem to have had, too. That is, the way maths was taught was so clinical and 2D (formulae in chalk on a blackboard) that it had no relevance to real life, as it was taught. In my case, it changed when I was lucky to encounter a brilliant tutor who showed me how to relate all that 2D clinical theory that had been crammed into my head (that I didn't really understand) to something I was passionate about - cars. He asked me, are you interested in cars? As a 17yo lad, I said 'yes!'. He said, do you know that calculus is a way to measure the rate of change over time? I said, 'sort of'. He said, well it is, which means you can use calculus to work out how long it will take a care to accelerate from 0 to 100, or, the increasing fuel use on a curve as you press harder on the throttle, or, just what point in time a car part will wear out. Well, that changed everything for me. It took maths from being just boring 2D concepts drawn on a chalkboard to useful 3d realities that I could now apply in the things I was interested in. That's how maths should be taught.

@Connor Gaughan i think its because the whole point of this video is to prove no concept is beyond questioning, but rather than just applying it to the nature of his life, he reflects the initial reaction in the video's comments. If i was a bettin boy i'd probably say you're doing the same thing on a slightly more meta level, and given that its the case that you both are questioning without reason, then by questioning him really means youre also questioning yourself. So why did you ask him why he asked anything? Randomness, or maybe hoping to be the last quesitoner? Though it may not seem thought-provoking at first, the nature of his questioning lies behind not knowing how he could have enabled himself till someone else did it for him/her. How it wasn't his choice to even question the nature of this video till someone else made it for him/her. Possibly even hinting at the nature of determined fate vs free will. The possibility that if they never saw the video already made for them, they wouldn't be given the freedom to question in the present, where seemingly it already feels like they have control of their own thoughts. Maybe im over extracting, but i hope my attempt of any explanation was at least entertaining.

I think, the kind of "simple things" that tends to get us into anxiety is, if we're thinking about the consequences that will happen to OURSELVES, NOT about the beauty of patterns behind this world that God created. And also, the key is, to try to moderate/balance our own thoughts. If we're overthinking, rest a bit. If we're not thinking at all, then think. and yeah, maybe we do need a guide on how to be balanced.

You have such a way with words. "Think deeply about simple things" describes a mindset for mathematics that I wasn't able to articulate until your video.

In all my school years when I asked why is something like that in math class I got the same answer "just because it is", I have literally no clue where maths came from and who did them, and no one encourage me to know; so I really thought math was senseless and kinda just passed the class without paying them attention. Now I literally love math and had become one of my passions because of people like you or vihart, so I wanted to thank you for helping me now a new part of myself and inspiring me to always ask why

Thank you so much Eddie for putting together such valuable lessons to help students bring out their best thinking out of simple things. God bless you richly!

Techbuddha Live the thing is teachers like him are usually PhD and only very less tend to teach high school students.

We need teachers that take the 2D chalkboard formulae and relate it to real world 3D applications so that kids can see the practical use of learning maths. Finding out you could use calculus to work out all kinds of stuff about racing car performance did it for me when I was 17.

I see that the Feynman method is being applied by young teachers, which is lovely

Such a brilliant idea! Give the students a process to learn how to think and use their brains about the simplest of things. I'm glad you took notes at that lecture...thank you!

I, an electrical engineer with Master degree, looking for more videos in this channel at 1 o'clock am, just because you make me feel happy and interesting in all these simple but meaningful math problem. good job! you are a great teacher, keep your awesome work!

This is good. It is nice to watch your videos and be able to put my brain to work again. Thank you for that. (I'm from Europe)

Lucian Andrei why does the place that you come from matter? And btw I can bet that you are from Romania :))

Dear Edie, you made me want to learn Maths (definitely will focus in real life), I wish every student have access to a teacher like you! Pradeep from Dubai.

What a teacher! Lucky I had a great one until the 9th grade so I understood things. The one after that didn’t get things herself and it made her angry that I did. This guy is a gift 😊 should be appreciated! Helps me learn the topics I wasn’t taught at school and need now at Uni. Thank you!

OMG, I cried watching this...beautiful insight. Thank you Mister Woo

Me after this video: What if...? Math teacher: No, u can't

pi disliked the video

Amazing what interesting things you can find when quarantined for months. Missed this for 6 years. Glad I found it, just not glad about the way in which I did. The ability to make interesting the otherwise mundane is an unteachable skill. The way this man teaches (shares knowledge) is incredible.

2:11 I've never done a circle this beautiful

I remember being introduced to the concept of infinity in grade school and how much thinking about it disturbed me. Have learned a lot of math since then but it still bothers me to this day.

I whish I had a teacher like you when I was a kid! Cheers from Argentina, you're awesome!

Man, wish there are more teachers like you

I appreciate this philosophy a lot. (of course, the Mathematics too XD) Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for encouraging "why"

Such a fun math teacher, I’ve only seen 1 video where he had to wait for students to stop talking. Really shows how engaged people get with his teaching style

It's 5:00 am. awake for 24 hours. 4 cups of bold espresso in. got an important essay in my final year. deadline is in 6 hours. only barely started it. and here i am watching how to make simple things harder. pray for me guys!

Hey... How'd it go, man?

Nikola Tesla: “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.”

The advice given here, how to think deeply about simple things, is applicable to more areas of life than just math. This video has earned my subscription.

I watch Eddie when i am down and it lifts me up.

What a wonderful teacher ✅ engaging, enthusiastic, dedicated and knowledgeable. All teachers can learn from his approach ☑️🙏👍 All pupils deserve a teacher like him 👏👏

I am from india and i found difficulty in understanding lectures but i think you are the best 👍

has anyone ever let their younger siblings ask them questions and later on stealing that idea from them and turned it into a research paper?

He is already. He is posting his videos about maths on youtube. And yes, you have to solve the questions that arrive in your head somewhat alone, but it will be worth it, just stick with them.

Eddie, you are a great teacher. I would have learned so much ....

Admiration for this guy!

I was that "Why?" I always got an answer to it as well. Usually "SHUT UP!"

This man is so fucking awesome!!!! Screw maths and philosophy teachers, we need more people like him in our education system

Amazing lecture about how to think deeply about simple things. Thanks for sharing Mr. Woo!!

He is such a sagacious person

Dude. I really want you to be my teacher
