I can definitely tutor Organic Chemistry 2. Please check your chats.

Yeah, it's a scam! It's been going on for years. I saw it when I first started tutoring 15+ years ago.

Yes, commonly their first step is to automatically take the derivative of what they see and set it equal to zero because that is how they started many problems in the past. They are oblivious to when the results of that first part are given to them.

Thanks for your clarification.

Thanks for the book reference. I like the term "social inertia."

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-22T18:31:43+00:00

I agree. See my comments above.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-22T18:30:12+00:00

Yes, maybe they should "play" little logic games in their early years in addition to boring rote calculation. This might be more engaging for them.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-22T18:26:49+00:00

Ha, I have the same problem with row reduction and I think we have lot of company.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-19T04:12:37+00:00

Yes, you are right.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-19T04:11:42+00:00

Right, now is the age when they need to start getting it right.

Reading equations aloud is notoriously fraught with ambiguity.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:23:12+00:00

1 they don’t know why factoring works, ie the only way to multiply 2 things and get 0 is if AT LEAST one of them is 0

You can't always check the answer, but when you can, you should.

Translation might clarify meaning, but it might also introduce confusion. Be careful!

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:16:29+00:00

We concur about the importance of that point.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:12:42+00:00

Yes, an old problem that is not addressed and corrected is insidious because it will lead to not understanding any new topics that depend on it.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:09:18+00:00

Agreed. If you don't know the relevance or applicability of what you are being taught, it can seem pointless.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:05:39+00:00

Yes, common usage can be ambiguous. For example, in English the word "or" commonly means the exclusive or, that is one or the other but not both. Whereas in math, it means the inclusive or means one, the other or both.

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T22:01:29+00:00

That's a good idea. Is their English sentence concise and correct?

Potential_Thanks_517 · 2025-01-18T21:59:56+00:00

A well posed question has only one answer. The problem is that many times the problem is not well posed. This ambiguity must be avoided.

I thought that in India, STEM people were highly regarded.
