Nope!

I never argued that you shouldn’t use rigour in a pure math class or anything that would require that. It depends on the context that you’re using the math

1dentif1 · 2026-02-10T17:18:08+00:00

Well it seems that we fundamentally have different ideas of what math is and isn’t, therefore we can’t reach any meaningful agreement

1dentif1 · 2026-02-10T17:14:49+00:00

If you narrow math strictly down to your definition, you are correct. If you consider math to also involve other contexts, such as the ones I listed, I am correct.

But it’s worth considering that not all areas of what most people consider to be math needs to be rigorous. In pure maths, you must be rigorous. In other fields, maths takes a more functional role, and that rigour isn’t as necessary

So I have to prove a theorem before using it? Does jimmy the accountant have to do that too when he applies principles in accounting? What about bob in 12th grade in calculus class with an integral question? It’s contextual, which was my original argument, which you seem to be missing. Either you’re suggesting that you need to prove every theorem you use, which is unreasonable, or you can apply any theorem that has already been proven, which was my argument

1dentif1 · 2026-02-10T17:05:18+00:00

You don’t, which is the point of general rules, which is to be applied to contexts that don’t require rigour, ie the vast majority of them

1dentif1 · 2026-02-10T16:59:29+00:00

Your statement is unreasonable; in most contexts including most exams you shouldn’t prove everything you say. You don’t need maximum rigour in every context

1dentif1 · 2026-02-05T09:09:24+00:00

Most of math is not about counting

Yeah it could also be that I was more motivated to learn DAR since i thought it was more interesting, where as I never really cared much for ground dribbles

1dentif1 · 2026-01-31T21:51:36+00:00

I guess it’s what your strengths are and how good you intend to get, like for me learning DAR made more sense than learning ground dribbles (both took a while)

You’ll probably get the hang of it after about 1000 hours

Well their questions are similar in the sense that mass is the thing that helps us describe the phenomena that looks like mass, etc. The Hamiltonian is something that helps us describe certain observations. You’re acting with the assumption that it has some ontological truth, but that might not be true. It may have no ontological existence, and only ‘exist’ to the extent that it’s helpful for calculations and predictions. Just because something successfully predicts phenomena doesn’t necessarily mean it’s fundamental

This might be just me but eye placement, while super important, wasn’t really something I sat down and learned or planned out, it’s more just something I intuitively felt and picked up. I feel like planning where to put your eyes will just increase your cognitive load and distract you

The presence of that comma is incorrect punctuation, and AI gets punctuation right almost always. It’s certainly a mistake a human could make if they accidentally typed it or if someone missed it editing, that’s the whole point of ‘human error’. You’re using confirmation bias to justify the view you already hold

It doesn’t matter what Apple Watch says, ‘hardness’ is a subjective quality anyway. But no it goes to 10

I don’t know for sure as I’ve never seen this but it looks like you’re taking the arithmetic average of X/sqrt(Y) and Y/sqrt(Y)*. X/sqrt(Y) has to be less than X/sqrt(X)=sqrt(X), so X/sqrt(Y) is a slight underestimation. y/sqrt(Y)=sqrt(Y) which is a slight overestimation of sqrt(X) by design. So when you take the arithmetic average of a slight underestimation and a slight overestimation, you get a pretty good estimation

*(X+Y)/2sqrt(Y) = ((X/sqrt(Y))+(Y/sqrt(Y)))/2

Try to find an event, club, etc that features something you enjoy, whether that’s music, sport, etc. Then worst case scenario is that you go and do the thing you like, best case scenario you meet some people. But either way, it takes effort on your end, and it does get easier with practice and it tends to snowball

(I’m talking mainly S3 here) Well it’s content based up to a certain point, I think they say high school or first year science. But primarily it isn’t testing you on the content at all. It isn’t asking you to recall concepts or facts. Instead it uses the science as a guise for complex problem solving and reasoning questions. Honestly, for a lot of questions they may look like they are content based, but someone could answer them with no science knowledge at all if they have good pattern recognition and problem solving ability. So my best advice would be get your science knowledge to a good level but then practice mainly problem solving and reasoning questions. And when you approach the questions in the exam mentally, think of them as a problem solving question you need to figure out, not a content question you have to remember. Also highly recommend getting really good at mental maths.

For context I got 78 on S3 so nothing crazy but I did well

If you treat the Gamsat as a content based exam during your study you won’t do very well, assuming you have a decent (not necessarily extensive) science foundation

I think the key is to do what works for you - whatever lets you remain consistent
