  • In this video I will show you how to learn math with no previous background. I will show you a book and give you a step by step process which you can follow to learn math. The book covers the very basics of algebra as well as some statistics and probability theory. It is called Everything You Need to Ace Pre-Algebra and Algebra I in One Big Fat Notebook.

    If anyone is having doubts, I learned math from zero after graduating high school. Like I didn't even know fractions. I now have a bachelor's of engineering in chemical engineering. And you too can learn math, just like I did. I highly suggest CZcams to supplement your learning and you will thank yourself for it. As math is used everyday.

    I'm 81 years old, and always had the dream of being a mathematician; and although I had a paper published once in the Journal of Symbolic Logic in 1988, The False Assumption Underlying Berry's Paradox, and have created the foundation of a new set theory, I don't really know math, or set theory for that matter, at all. This video points the way, it seems, or at least gives a place to start. So I'm going to get the book and see how far I can go with and beyond it in the limited time I have left. What an inspiration is this video!

    I recently have gotten into mathematics using a book called 'Understanding Numbers in Elementary School Mathematics' by Hung Hsi-Wu. It's actually written for school teachers so they can understand what they're teaching their students at a deeper level. The deeper level of explanation helps a lot for self learners and it's also already written in a pyramid order building the base so you can move upwards.

    I'm actually self studying using your Udemy class College Algebra, I bought several books you recommended (in your first video last year and in the recent one as well), but instead of paper I use my iPad Air and the app GoodNotes 5. To prevent distractions, I turn on Do Not Disturb. So I can follow Udemy on my Mac, writing on my iPad and using my iPhone as a timer.
    To me the benefit of using a notes app on my iPad, is that it takes no space and I can review my notes (usually on Sunday). Like you, I learn by reading and writing, so it helps to achieve both.
    I'm 42 and self studying math to help me prepare to return to college next September. Your channel is a blessing. Thank you for your amazing content.

    I just stumbled on to your channel and I am so glad I did. I am a hs chemistry and physics teacher and I can say that more and more students come to class with less and less math skills. I am so going to pass your content along to them! I also have a CZcams channel to help chemistry students and I can’t wait to get the word out to those kids as well. Keep up the wonderful work!

    I really love the way that book is formatted and written, especially with how the topics are organized. It is very readable for anyone wanting to grasp the basic fundamentals of algebra, which tend to be severely overlooked by people in Calculus and higher lv math. I would definitely approve of this book as one extremely reliable source to refer to for beginners, plus, learning about basic algebra will make learning Calculus a lot easier.

    Thank you, my man! I am ordering these tonight! I am told I was doing multiplication at age 3, but I was also ADHD and was hence shoved into special ed as a kid. I have been on a journey of rediscovering my love of math, now that I have retired from the military and getting back into the groove. This sounds like a great book to help me review and recapture key concepts. Thanks again, love the content youre putting out, keep up the great work!

    I remember when I jumped into college algebra, as I was 50 years old and decided to get my bachelor's. Well, I did not take any math for 20+ years. What I did is start from the BEGINNING. I bought this book that went from basic math all the way to algebra, statistics and some trig. It was just one book and I studied it DAILY. I definitely needed that basic math because my instructor was anti-calculator and the only time she allowed it was when it was mandatory to use. Anything you could figure out without a calculator you had to do by hand. So half the exams were without a calculator and the rest was with one. It was online college algebra and I ended up studying about 6 to 8 hours a day but I made an "A" in the class. Most of the students dropped out because she was tough. I have my Master's degree now. But learning from scratch is essential. I mean training your brain to do problems by hand without a calculator--addition, subtraction, multiplication, division problems, proved essential. If you do not do these problems by hand, I guarantee you will forget how. It is not everyday you do long division, or dealing with fractions. So you really DO have to relearn everything---but the process is rapid as long as you study DAILY. CZcams was very helpful. There are times you WILL get stuck but there is always some instructor who will explain how to do it in simple terms. I remember some of those algebra problems are super LONG. I mean you are on your second or third page still working on a single problem! If you mess up (usually SIMPLE math error) you screwed up the whole problem. She had weekly TIMED mandatory quizzes and the tests went over several chapters, mandatory to take them at the college as they were proctored. If you miss two quizzes she would give an "F" to the student and she never gave points or dropped your worst exam grade. Online is a LOT harder than in person. But as I was working I chose to go that route. She was tough but I sure loved that professor. She was awesome! PS: I normally suck in math. IF I CAN MAKE A's in math, so can you.

    I bought this book based on your recommendation to go over the algebra that I rejected during my 11-16 years at secondary school. I was too busy dealing with a broken home to care about my grades. I was predicted to achieve top marks in all of my subjects. Instead, I frustrated my peers and teachers due to my apathetic approach to learning. I never did homework and feel asleep in all my exams, while getting kicked out of school on a regular basis. Despite all this I still managed to pass all my exams. Now I'm ready to revisit and learn what I should've been learning back then at the age of 28. I take particular care now to explain my working out, as it helps others to understand. Luckily I'm dating a chemistry teacher who is 15 years my senior. She's a perfect mentor and enjoys helping me through the book on questions I find particularly confusing.

    Due to having Cystic Fibrosis I basically skipped elementary and middle school. I pretty much started in the 10th grade. I went on to graduate from a good tech school (electronics). I did very well, but there were definitely gaps in my knowledge of mathematics. I recently bought this book based on your recommendation. I plan on learning everything I can. I'm particularly interested in geometry and calculus. I know I have a long way to go but, I'd like to thank you for helping inspire me to continue. You rock.

    Funny story, when I was young I always felt bad about being weak in math. My schooling wasn't good and as a new immigrant I had to keep switching schools as my parents explored their job options. I actually didn't pursue computer science since I was weak in math. Long story short, after graduating with a useless degree, I started going to the local library. It took my 8 months of constant studying to go from grade 10 level math to knowing calculus. It was one of the best things I have done with my life. Now I am software developer. I still think about math every now and then for computer graphics haha

    I am a high school student ,
    the thing is , last year we studied calculus and derivatives .
    We didn't study them properly , they were rushed , and this year we studied integrals .
    But the thing is , we don't really study anything properly , we just catch some words from the teacher , from private classes , etc .. (just memorize a ton of exercices and you are ready to go)
    this week we studied differential equations , very poorly : "just remember the 3 exemples y'=ay has solutions f(x)= ke^a , etc.."
    I don't want to learn things this way .
    I want to take a step down and learn all the pure math from the start .
    from pre-algebra , algebra , pre-calculus , calculus , trigonometry , discrete math , etc..
    I want to major in computer science or system engineering , I want to master math .
    What books should I read in the RIGHT ORDER ?
    This book in the video is good , but what about other topics such as calculus and trig ?
