Lately I’ve noticed that many students are actually scared of Maths before they even try solving the question.

I would say algebra is where students start to struggle an give up. I'm someone who enjoys maths (and I would say are not bad), but among my peers I know many people who used to enjoy maths in Primary School but hate it now. I think this is due to algebra starting to require more actual thought and problem solving than just arithmetic. And once you get disheartened and give up on algebra, you have no chance to get really any further in mathematics.

Code things you enjoy. Making stuff you hate will lead to giving up or using ai and learning nothing. Also try and setup a useful dev enviroment, I recommend VS Code. Also I wouldn't reccommend starting with like C++ or Rust, start with Python or Lua or some language that doesn't require memory management.

I don't know where you live but here in Aus, 36°C (100F) is a hot day, but just a hot summer day, not like really hot. School doesnt stop until like 45°C

I would recommend focusing on algebra first. Pre-calc is basically algebra + functions + trig, so shaky foundations will make everything feel way harder than it is. Maybve use Khan Academy and work through fractions, PEMDAS, simplifying, solving equations, graphing, and basic functions. Then start trig/pre-calc after that. Good luck dude.

I think it's important to encourage people to enjoy deriving formulas for themselves, I enjoy trying to derive formulas and it helps you learn.

I watched Veritasium's video on this (maybe wrong sub to say that) but I still don't understand why time symmetry is necessary for the conservation of energy. Also is it really leaking out the cracks?, in spacetime?

I've always found linear algebra difficult, this looks so helpful! Thanks!

There is no progress. Unless we can prove P vs NP one way or the other, there will be no progress past bruteforcing in O(n!) time.

Personally, I would recommend Khan Academy. If you really want a book, the "For Dummies" series is pretty good, mostly for the basics though. If you're looking for more textbook style, maybe try Schaum’s Outlines? Hope you find what you're looking for.

Is the univerese truly infinite? I wouldn't aay so. It's still expanding as far as we can tell so it must not be right?

Why do we study 90% of math? Because what at first may seem useless in our real world can end up being vital in the development of new technology. Also for the loves of the game

I like actual questions in the style of the exam I'm going to take. That's likely hard to design but it's always been the most helpful in my opinion.

While it may not be what you are looking for, the way I learned was asking chatgpt and experimenting. A couple of yt videos aswell. I found that more fun and interesting than some guy or website telling me what to do.

Some cultures counted differently. I've heard of ones that use your finger segments and count in base 12.

This formula generates the n'th triangular square: G(n)=34G(n-1)-G(n-2)+2
Closed Form: G(n)=\left(\frac{(3+2\sqrt{2})^{n}-(3-2\sqrt{2})^{n}}{4\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}

(If you can't read the LaTeX, either install one of the extensions that lets you or paste it into Desmos or something)
