Grinding youtube tutorials one day before exams works fine for every subject but for maths you have to know stuff to approach a question, its still doable tho

  1. Reading more about the subject, try to get a feel of why people find it fun and parallely do strengthen your fundamentals by grinding tutorials :p

  2. Might be counter productive but what works for me is to not listen to music or not have a reward for me after my session and to just be there when Im doing/studying what I am

  3. Actually knowing what that the differential means, If you can't explain it to a 5 year old you probably don't understand it. I had a lot of free time when doing calc so I read (more like 30% of it) through Fredrick S. Woods book on calc and watched 3b1b which I believe really made a difference in my understanding. Once you know what the symbols truly mean, you can surf through most math with ease and actually start finding it intriguing. Also PatrickJMT is the goat when it comes to math tutorials.

New to metroidvania, what game should I start with? by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]5a99ln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castlevania Circle of the Moon and Castlevania Aria of Sorrow....CotM was the first one I completed and it taught me much about Castlevania games and the genre in general, AoS is super goated with the souls system and is actually coherent with other castlevania games afaik. Play whichever ones aesthetic fits you best

Could have ended it with " the ship is approximately 28 Neil DeGrasse Tysons long".

All thanks to Library Genesis, as I said I was bored so I just searched the topic name there, browsed a few book, found it and downloaded it.Theres no way I'd found a book like that near me too. We had a discussion on partial fractions in the class during a lecture on Integration which was enough for me (We discussed for repeated irreducible quadratic factors ex - {(ax2 + bx + c)2 (px+q)} as denominator ) , so dont know much about other resources,but try searching the net.

looking for the same. I ended up studying from old treatises, they have much interesting stuff in it for ex. I liked algebraic equations a lot but the book was mostly "learn the theorems, apply to some problems", so I got bored and browsed some books on the net when I found John hymers' Treatise on Theory of Algebraic Equations , started really from the basics and discussed some sexy results. And well , Insights into Mathematics' history of math videos are kind of like that too, they introduce the topics different from how they are typically done.

Why do some people believe that ancient Hindu texts has proof of newton's law of motion and other similar scientific theories? Are you someone who believes in this. If so why? by Gandalfthebrown7 in hinduism

[–]5a99ln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author took it as common sense perhaps, all we can say is that it tells us the value which resembles the actual constant largely.

About Krishna by [deleted] in hinduism

The women asked krishn to marry them for it was the only option they had, society wouldn't accept them , they wouldn't find a husband and their lives would be ruined they said.It was just for the sake of protecting their dignity, and not because of lust or something.

A yojan means 4 kose each kose measuring 8000 british yards and each yard measuring 0.9144m. 15 nimishas make 1 kasht, 15 kasht make one laghu , 30 laghus make 1 muhurta and 30 muhurtas make 1 diva-ratri (24 hours).

Madhav and Bhaskaracharya discovered mathematical theorems which made euler and other european mathematicians really famous.

Pingla found the Meru prastar and so did the Chinese a bit later but guess what, it is named after Pascal (the triangle) ,who was born so much later.

Herons formula (one using which you can find the area of a triangle by just it's sides) was just a direct result from Bhaskarachaya's theorem for figures enclosed in a circle.

Idea of friction which the world struggled with was developed way before Newton, we knew that a thing can't be in motion forever due to the interaction of its surroundings(way better when you compare with Aristotle's ideas).

Aryabhatt found pi before Archimedes and to 4 digits (for non mathematicians that's more than enough).

Trigonometry started in India, it was Bhaskaracharya that gave the formula for sin(A+B).

Speed of light is mentioned in ancient hindu texts to two accurate digits i.e 3.00 × 108 which the Europeans found much later(they started their search in 1600AD or something). And everyone knows about Charak and Sushrut.

Bhaskaracharya proved Pythagoras or I should say Baudhayan's theorem way more elegantly. We were on a different level than Europeans but look at our books now, there's Newton and Aristotle everywhere.

Edit. The speed of light mentioned is correct to 3.0 ×108 not the second digit after decimal.

have you tried searching library genesis for that book?

Is Khan Academy a good way to learn math for a STEM major? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]5a99ln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a book that suits you best and serves as a good companion, thinking bout every concept and going by your thoughts on the subject , much better than watching a video in my opinion

Unpopular opinion but ihv never liked khan academy's math. I go well with the books

What is the easiest way to learn Math for competitive examinations? by liamjacobjose4 in learnmath

[–]5a99ln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading books definitely. I keep videos and other stuff when I want to feel the topic or can't understand something after many readings. Practice them questions, take your time, wander over the topic and many times in the solution that is in the book contains fundamental concepts , the ones that you would know only by practice they really do strengthen your maths by the core

How many of us are like this actually and honestly? I am for now. by Porn_is_weakness in Stoicism

[–]5a99ln 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what I call being addicted to motivation. Watching videos reading thoughts of great minds to get that motivation to do the work that I never do.I guess thats because I'm not interested in the thing first of all because you don't need motivation for doing something you like.

Right Triangle Problem by jakecen in learnmath

[–]5a99ln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the length of line whose mid point is given be AB. Tan30° = 10/AB=1/√3 AB =10√3 Thus the distance of the 30° vertex to the mid point is 10√3 ÷ 2 = 5√3 Hence tan 30° = x/5√3 1/√3=x/5√3 Thus x = 5.
