I think this is a terrible idea, it only encourages more passive aggressive behavior, which already becoming very prominent in today's society. People need to learn how to speak up and not be afraid of asking questions or talking in front of large groups. People also need to learn to be...
Okay, does the Op want to be able to solve and apply math to nature or does it want the understanding of physics to be able to read physics papers?
If its the former, the op is in the wrong major. If its the latter, Feynman lectures are perfect. Feynman does a fine job of relaying the broad...
If you've already taken single variable calculus then Spivak shouldn't be too bad, yes its rigorous but the beauty in Spivak is that thoroughly explains concepts with English to help develop the intuition and thought process behind the proofs. You will find Spivak to have a lot of text, which...
The only problem i see, is that you need some concepts from calc 3 for diffEq, like partial derivatives, and maybe a few other things, but its all very minor
arithmetic
algebra/geometry
trigonometry
precalculus/discrete mathematics
calculus
linear algebra/differential equations
Real analysis
and then from here it starts to break up as you can go in multiple directions:topology, number theory,statistics and probability, complex analysis, partial...
you don't need work ethic to make it big, and you don't even need intelligence really. Sure in some situations intelligence is needed but you don't have to be a Gauss to make it big, its mostly luck. Hard work is rarely needed, this whole idea that if someone works hard they'll make it big or at...
Bill Gates got lucky by being the son of a bunch of white yuppies that allowed him to spend all his time programming, iirc his parents payed for all the computers in billy's school and that's how he got to spend so much time learning CS, otherwise he never would have been able to
Okay, then maybe what we should say that the way in which you memorize the material (with the definition of memorizing being : commit to memory; learn by heart.) is much easier by thoroughly learning the concepts, and intuition behind the steps than just repeatedly doing the problems over and...
if most of you problems were just silly mistakes and anxiety then you just have to relax more, and the best way to do this is to do more of the problems (I don't mean do every problem in the section, but for the ones the instructor assigns as homework, do those multiple times over) that way you...
Also, once you do run out of classes, another reason why I think you should start reading harder texts is because you are young and you don't want to waste your youth. I'm not trying to tell you what your idea of fun should be, if you get a lot of joy out of doing math and science that's great...
This is a tricky situation because normally I would say that its probably you, that you are over exaggerating your efforts but because the class average is very low it may not be, but in my experiences, especially at a community college, my fellow students would always complain and do bad as a...
Yes sometimes memorization is necessary, especially with the nomenclature, but that's really the only place it applies, memorizing derivative and integral tables may be useful for the test but know how to derive (by truly understanding the math, knowing the intuition and reasoning why the...
*(Do you what you think is best but really think about this)
Okay, but realize that calculus is probably the most useful area of mathematics in all of science, real and complex analysis is literally nothing but calculus and calculus is so damn useful that other fields have emerged from it like...
