What's up yall. So let me explain a bit. I'm currently not taking any College classes. But I've been self-studying. I just work on whatever, and when I start a new topic, I'll play with it some.
After learning some of the basics, I'll try to figure out some more complex ways to use the idea. Or even take a more advanced concept and then try to figure out how it got to that point. "Fill in the gaps" with my own creativity. Sometimes it works, other (more often) times it doesn't. It is quite time consuming and stressful, but when I do get some "original ideas" it can be a confident boost.
Is this a good way to approach the subject? Even though everything I've been working on (Calc 1-2) has been worked out and proven time after time. Should even be wasting time doing things like this or wait until I have to write a research paper? haha
Speaking of research, how is it done? Specifically Math and Physics. Is it only one person working on a problem? Or is there a lot of collaboration?
Thanks all.
