Very funny
Hahahahaha
Bro looks like he descended from the heavens by doing maths 💀
ROFL

Hey you really helped me a lot during the time I was facing a lot of hardships
Thanks bro
I was saying. Like an Elden ring character 😂
RTX on😂
@@TheMathSorcerer you kinda look like jeff bazos
And the angel of math came then said "be not afraid"
my man is literally radiating math and wisdom
both are mana of the gods
I laughed harder than I should’ve 😂
He has conjured too much maths. He has turned into the all-powerful mage of maths.
Next, he will be a math deity.
He’s what you fear most friiiiiezaaaaa, your not dealing with an ordinary saiyan anymore he has ascended he is the legendary math sorcerer
bro is the sun
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
you look like a math angel
am i dead?
overdose of calculus? 😁
"Math angel" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like you are basing it on Christianity stereotype of what an angel look like.
Angels do not look like him, read your scriptures, I have seen them.
@@victoriaslife Dude, are you okay? Why are you taking so seriously what is obviously a joke? Relax, laugh a bit, and enjoy life.
Go touch grass @@victoriaslife
Bro looks like the arch angel of math. The saint of mathematics
Discipline is key as well
How do you discipline yourself? When you control every aspect of your life, how do you have those boundaries? They all seem "fake" in that I impose them all on myself and I can just choose not to.
@@nnickplays9713in my limited experience, I have simply had to hit the wall enough times to train myself out of bad habits and become more disciplined. this is a matter of survival as far as I'm concerned
@@nnickplays9713fake it till you make it. Write your goals in a planner and stay committed.
They are "fake" or rather, we have to believe in our own principles to follow them. That's usually the missing step, you have to choose to believe in the value of a set of boundaries while still knowing they're imperfect. Time helps, it shows you that your life is limited and it's better to use the time you have to work within a set of values and figure out how to refine them than wait for the perfect set of ideals.
@@nnickplays9713100%. Discipline. How? Fr. It is just a flow. A rhythm we get to step into 🎶 last semester I didn’t crush it bc my doubts of not being able to keep up and stay disciplined got in the way (along with other factors). I don’t believe in fake it ‘til you make it (annoying platitude for me) I believe in perseverance in spite of disabilities and lack of support…you know maybe you have discipline and you are being hard on yourself. Idk your context but I’m sure you can get into the rhythm 🥁😊
“Math Sorcerer the Grey…? Yes… That is what they used to call me. I am Math Sorcerer the White! And I come to you now, at the turn of the tide.”
My biggest problem learning mathematics is confidence. Math is about he only thing that makes me feel like this and I believe it's due to trauma from a math teacher in elementary school. I have avoided math for 50 years. I'm back doing it again because I'm very aware that not dealing with this problem has prevented me from doing a lot of things I really wanted to do but couldn't. Watch your kids. If you see them developing strong aversions to academic subjects deal with it early. It can impact their entire lives.
Read my comment under his video, you and I definitely relate on this
In high school right now and I feel this very strongly-just doing my homework makes me so upset and it’s not because I don’t care. Trying to confront it right now and hoping that I can one day help my kids with their homework. Your comment is so encouraging ❤
@@giaanne4699 Math is the poster child for bad teaching - and it's not teachers' fault, not entirely. I'm an instructional designer and I've been working on a build for an Algebra 1 high school credit recovery course. The Common Core standards are whack and many of the problems in the standard texts are patently absurd. Recently, a teacher on the project told me, "Many topics in Algebra have no practical application. Dividing polynomials, for example....". Our premise in the course is to present Math as applied science. I said, "Well, it must be useful for something?" and... no response. If Americans are innumerate, it's largely because of bad math teaching and that teaching is bad because of politics. We should let teachers do their jobs and stop trying to micromanage their every move. If medicine were done like we do education, we'd all be dead.
Same here
Listen, I needed this. I’m a high school math teacher, I teach AP Calculus, and what most of my students don’t know is that math was really tough for me for a really, really long time. I recently applied to a certificate program to finish my 18 graduate credits to teach dual credit and adjunct, and the doubts are creeping in again! I have to practice what I preach! I made it this far, and I know I can go further! Thanks 🙏
Proud of you !
Do you think your students would benefit from knowing this about you? It definitely would have helped me as a student to hear this from a teacher -- and it would do so much to do away with the terrible myth that math is something people either get or don't.
@@summergeary8581 Thank you SO much! It will be a challenge teaching full time and taking graduate level math classes, but your encouragement means SO much! :))
@@mryan4719 Oh, yes! I often tell my struggling students my story! Luckily, I work at a pretty great school with awesome kids, so they value my advice. I believe there are two types of math people: those born with natural talent and those who create it. I fit the latter category with math! With time, tears, and lots and LOTS of practice, I was able to accomplish something I thought out of reach :) Thanks for the reply!
My high school math teachers ruined my confidence. They are often the worst types of people especially when it comes to teaching kids math. Often they are very condescending and narcissistic
You are really enlightened dude
Math Sorcerer the White, after he defeated Balrog.
After he graded Balrog's equations.
2:59 absolutely. From a pedagogy pov, THE way to improve confidence is to improve real competence and a feeling of relatedness. One of the most important keys to that is reducing perceived emotional and social risk, which happens by breaking down the process into pieces small enough to master and by building a sense of relatedness to the content and the group. Plain language: a teacher's responsibility is to create a culture where students can start to feel in some way like "people who do maths" and to find ways to up- and down-scaffold skills so everyone can get it.
I'm a teacher, so I really apreciate your insight.
Self doubt is good, it make me go learn to become better.
Too much is bad too, moderation is the key.
i will stop doubting my ability to destroy exams without studying this is such much good advice!!! thanks math sorcerer
didn't even watch the video but updooted and subscribed because you have a trustable face and the title is positive
Aww thank you my friend😁
Only positive stuff here ❤️

I appreciate you exploring self doubt rather than anxiety.
Anxiety has been often misunderstood and self diagnosed incorrectly for most people. I believe a lot of young people experience self doubt and internalise it as anxiety, which propels them into a shame spiral of which they cannot get out of on their own.
Self doubt can be overcome on your own and that’s why this is a great discussion video
Dude is light itself
bro the lightning is terrifying
I think this is my biggest problem. Even though it's a long time since being in high school, the frustration and despondency I felt doing maths means I still look at relatively straightforward maths problems like a rabbit in the headlights. Combine that with the careless errors common to someone with ADHD, relearning maths is proving to be quite gruelling. Although, to be fair to myself, progress is being made.
This guy has the grace of gold on his eyes
Thanks for this Video. I am usually scared to even Go near a Vector question and Usually just drop 10 Points on the test because of pure doubt that i can even do it or not. ( Also me being weak in Algebra fundamentals makes it scarier )
By the end of this week, Ill make sure Vectors fears me
Hey same bro it's glad to meet someone just like you. I am suffering and trying to learn everything from scratch hope you do tooo .. cheers !!
@@savenature4578 You too mate! Goodluck!
Make sure Vectors start loving you, by starting to love and see Vectors for what they really are.
@@VedanthB9 Yup for sure
A year ago, I got interested in maths. Now, I’m finally going back to school after years of not going to school. It’s been a month and so far I’ve been so stressed. And I’ve been doubting myself a lot. I remember thinking to myself “why am I so stupid?” or if I could even do this at all. I thought maybe I’m just lacking some sort of skill or some talent that others have. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying to study and learn. Somedays I avoid everything and go to sleep because I’m afraid of failing or feeling dumb. I’m still trying though. Thank u for the wisdom. Really helped me take a step despite my fear of studying a year ago
I’m terrible at math. My brain just has a hard time with it but I’m sure if I were to study and learn it might stick but I have other talents I can sing with really no effort. I can draw and I can write what I’m trying to say. Here is that we all come here for a different purpose. And focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses because you were made to be exactly who you are and you might just not even know that your talent is there. It just needs a bright light to be shown on it and for you to stop being afraid to let it shine just like this math wizard here just shines like an angel.
One must never question one's place in Marika's Golden Order.
Bro is godwyn😭😭
This was God sent man... Thanks so so much.
I am a returning adult college student and have my last two semesters of college left and I have two statistics courses to take that are a challenge. I ended up failing one of the statistics courses because I had to work due to financial issues. My come back is this upcoming fall and I almost talked myself out of finishing my degree.
This is my confirmination to finish what I started and do not back down from a challenge.

But mama, that's where the fun is!"🎵
Bro. I'm writing my thesis and listening to you makes me confident that I can continue.
I never clicked so fast on a video. Bro literally looks like a math wizard, I’m totally listening to your advice.
The Math Sorcerer has ascended!
I love how you posted this video in the exact time I thought I'm not good enough in science (I study general biology) 😆 well huge thank you ❤️
I send These flowers for you 💐
the exposure is craaaaaazy
We all have to climb up the Learning Curve.
Look who turned into a math guardian angle. I'm actually having the worst week this year for my math practice. strange coincidence.
Even greater stranger coincidence: it's DISCRETE MATHS.
Hearing discrete maths is very hard actually helped.
Too often people claim certain insights are "simple" which seems to erode my motivation.
I’m working on my thesis rn and I really really needed to hear this! It’s hard for everyone! I’m trying to remember my historiography papers and I’m gonna choose to focus on how I completed those goals. 30 pages seems daunting but I know I’m capable of writing good work. I need to believe in my capabilities and take everything one step at a time. My thesis advisor says, “it doesn’t have to be good. It just has to be done!” Which is so odd to me because I’m such a perfectionist. I’m still learning how to surrender with awareness and learning how to extend grace to myself.
Thank you for the motivation and encouragement 💖
this video comes at a much needed phase of my life
This video is absolute gold. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Exactlyyyy❤❤❤it feels like watching someone who really cares about us convincing us to believe in ourselves
Youre speaking to me even tho im not into math but on a metaphysics level
SuperSaiyayin, you are the one!!!
This video is true. I used to doubt myself so much, but then I linked up with a classmate that would just dive into work and it was like a lightbulb went off. Like just do it don’t overthink. Took me forever to figure that out 😂
I didn't watch for the message regarding math, but overall, in life. I've been struggling, and this message was needed.
It always works out if you practice a lot but most of all intentionally, this is the only way to get better at your craft, the first time you make a box out of raw wood will be almost always bad but if you take notes and be mindful of what you do you'll get over it
The light is funny

So I have an interesting take on self-doubt, I personally have had anxiety and also a lot of self-doubt during my time in education and In fact am currently still in education.
One thing I realised is that sometimes anxiety or self-doubts act as a sixth sense or I guess a spidey sense.
It's warning you that perhaps your strategy or your preparation isn't going to be enough to achieve a mark or score that you're aiming for, and for some situations you do need to get a specific score or a pass mark or something in order to move on to the next stage.
So what I'd recommend is instead of doubting yourself, your abilities, your capabilities, doubt instead your strategy, your technique, your efforts, because then you can sit the exam knowing that it doesn't mean that I'm bad at math or I'm bad at this particular subject if you don't do well.
It just means my preparation was not adequate and I need to go back to the drawing board and find a new strategy a new preparation and new trick that can help me move on to the next stage.
The thing that was holding me back was not doing the work when I should have done, at the right age. So I went to a special school in the UK called a grammar school where you have to sit an exam at the age of 11. Only the top 120 kids in the area would be admitted into that school. I got in and I never really had to study for any exam up until year 8 or year 9 so I'd say about 14 years old. So at 15 years old I didn't know how to study I had to go back to square one. I remember reading a textbook and being stressed that the information wasn't staying in my head.
I was taking notes and the information wasn't sticking in my head. Then I figured out how to best remember from books - which essentially is to read two pages, close the book, summarise it verbally and explain it as simply as possible. The only write down anything that I need to remember like tables or random values and create a cheat sheet and repeat that process again and again.
But unfortunately this doesn't work once you do exams beyond the age of 16 years of age because you start doing standardised exams and the trick with standardised exams is you need to do past papers and this is something I figured out way too late. When I was doing my exams at 18 years of age I did all the past papers but what makes the top students separate from a good student is the intensity of those past papers. I did all the past papers once over but my friend did every past paper for the last 10 years three times and he scored nearly 100% and there are some things that comes up in exams that you're just not tauhht. There are some things that comes up in exams which teachers put inside because it differentiates students.
So the way you overcome this is just by doing way, way( I can't emphasise this enough) way more papers than you actually think you need to do and this is a good trick for any exam once you're beyond the age of 14 years of age or 18. I hope that helps I wish I knew this earlier.
And now I am sure that I can motivate my students "Do not
Be afraid of maths❤ from Nepal
Thank you so much. This is so healing for me. Your outer appearance truly matches what is inside and I appreciate your light.
My man you look holy
what I love about you is that you are brutally honest.
bro is glowing with math energy
YES!
battling this self-doubt after being the "i suck at maths" student in school and now i want to learn maths from scratch.
He aint the Math Sorcerer, hes the Math Angel, im probably dead as I saw this absolute beauty
I didn't defeat my self doubt but I feel like I started conquering it.
I realized I had some pretty absurd thoughts that I couldn't get off my head because they seemed to make perfect sense anyway. I couldn't believe that such absurdity was true and quickly moved to sketch why it'd be the case.
Then I failed at proving me wrong and dove deeper. Then I noticed I was wrong but it was so interesting that I was wrong at that particular thing and not at what I thought I'd be... and so science got me after having left college for 10 years.
I relate to this so much, I had little success in life but when I did, they were massive like jet going supersonic. It took a lot of time though, besides me there were other factors I just couldn't control at the time but I knew I had it in me, the hardest part then was having the patience and taking the blunt of peoples expectations, giving you that self doubt, including family. But coming out of it, the confidence you get and the experience (video game XP) just build you differently for what lies ahead.
the lighting on this one is insane dude, lol please fix it
wdym thats just his wisdom halo a few meters above his head
Yeah it seems that his eyes are literally yellow in this video
Haha
Thank you for this video. I just had my worst quarter. I’m sad but I’m working harder than ever this quarter to make up for everything
You don't need to make up for anything! Look at the present and do your best without looking back. Have a nice week
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
@@TheMathSorcerer Getting The Right Math book might be the key to overcome difficulties faced in learning. If you're learning on your own, getting a book that has a solutions manual could be a game changer.
Spot On! Thank you Sir. 🙏
Here's my contribution to the video: Young people, don't go into the IT business. Your career will not last no matter how good you are. Focus your abilities on something else. Let the people in far away foreign lands do the heavy lifting.
I don't need to doubt my abilities, i don't have any
What you are saying is very valuable cause I had weird teachers throughout my life and thought I wasn't good. My college courses in math and physics I left out until the last moment out of fear... then I ended up with such great teachers that explained things properly and applied universally, I was top of my class and regretted not getting such knowledge earlier. I would have pursued another career if I had these teachers earlier in life.
Reduce your brightness sir
Still, I love the tech upgrade!
Yeah it's just the lighting it turned out really weird LOL.
Empowering titles. Cant help but clicked it right away
I need this channel. I am doing math analysis... i spend a couple of days to understand some confusing concepts in the book.. i felt demotivated first, but i understand that the patience bears fruit at the end.
Then I realise that.. i just see things differently.
Who knew a math sorcerer would be so wise. Jokes aside really appreciate you. Ty
This makes lots of sense, I remember many endeavors in life in which I stayed in for a very long time because of initial positive experiences that I had.
Interestingly enough, an initial positive experience is a way that many mobile phone games use to hook players onto their games, as far as what I noticed.
Thank you for the video! It was/is helpful.
Ngl my self doubt is insane and even though I don’t think I relate too much to the examples you’ve given other than the girl point is i can only keep trying harder and harder and self doubt only makes everything worse so just try our best :)
Thanks!
Thanks for the help MS. I'm sure this video will resonate with many of your listeners.
Bro looks like Jeff Bezos from the future
Very helpful, and I went through the same experience when it came to Physics. Never had much of an issue with math, but Physics was a pain in the butt!
God damn, ya boy workin with that High Magic now
I really like your hair and this is a beautiful message !!! Math on !
Loved geometry, very good at figuring out angles, freshman year I was told I couldn’t solve the problems the way I was solving them, it had to be done like what was taught in the book. Didn’t make sense, do more work and get the same result. Turned me off to mathematics from then on. Work harder not smarter is not really working out for civilization…😊🤙🏽
Really needed this today thank you so much! Nothing stops me the way this does.
We are surrounded by such a unconducive environment where there are so many factors to keep pushing us almost to the edge. No matter what. How good we are as human beings and all that. Somehow 'Devil' around us keep dragging us into the situations, we don't want to be in.
One of the most effective ways to learn is through the eyes of your inner child...
I’m a computer science graduate (got eighty percent marks in math). I was really really bad at math until the age of 14. My uncle who is a math graduate was the one who taught me to approach numbers without fear.
I’m a web developer now and still during work I need math (not calculus kind of thing but problems that really need some good logical thinking ability )
And I started to doubt myself again. Planning to learn logical reasoning again from today
Bro you're enlightened
I know those eyes are green, but they look golden. Wow.
Such rare color.
Math Sorcerer, you are a good and decent person, hope you keep on doing these great videos !
I’m not giving up. I failed calculus 1 three semesters in a row. It’s 2024 and I’m taking the summer off to get back to the basics.
You speak with such confidence and clarity!
the vibe you’re giving is like a pretty one of a kind flower that i’ve never seen before
There's a voice maybe a character that stops me from doing anything. I've been lazy and scared for the last few months, I lost 3 kg bw, didn't able to get done with my goals. That voice really scares me. I tried therapy, meditation but it returns and stops me to study. I feel helpless. Idk how could I help myself. What should I do
I failed calc 2, and passed with an "A" the next semester. My first calc 3 test last semester landed me a 30%, but after retaking the course I managed to score an 89% on the same test. Your videos motivate myself and others to keep pushing further! Thanks for all the advice you continue to give to us!

-Terence Tao
Love it when genius level IQ guys spew that bs 😂
I like to learn concepts of math so i can have intuitive understanding on where to start for whatever math problem i may have in future. I can always go back and look at examples and zoom in if i need to. Otherwise i have been brief and moving concept between concept. Example: Light is squared, tangent lines in analytical geometry find squares and turn them into right angle triangles with degrees and squares have 360 degrees. Your suggestions for books are great and well thought out. Thank you for your persistence and sharing your insight
"modern physics" the one you suggested and a book I picked out The mathematical writings of Isaac Newton V1 Cambridge. So much in just 2 books!
Hi the Math sorcerer, I’m not a math student nor do I need any more math courses but I know math is so important. The last class I took was basic statistics but I love your approach so I’m sticking around because I’m fascinated. Doing hard things and not denying myself… thank you
I can highly recommend looking into maths again. It's so much better when it isn't a chore.
Hey there, thank you very much, I needed that so badly. I usually get underestimated and sometimes you know, you start to underestimate yourself, so I lost faith in my self, so thank you
I've just got an A- in discrete math. I know it's not a lot but I'm really proud and grateful on this
YOU CAN DO IT!!
The math philosopher! Thank you for your perspective
I don't know why I clicked on this video while edging but since I'm here I want to say that I always thought self doubt is always necessary. But it's also true that sometimes it stops people from even trying
Mashallah sorcerer this quality is so crisp your looking ethereal
05:12 Great video!!!
06:50 🤩😎🤓🤓🤓
Bro is radiating knowledge
He's radiating wishful thinking.
I'm a bit scared of Math as I never really understood Math in theoretical ways. Back then all of the teachers I had taught Math in theoretical methods and I thought I wasn't smart enough to understand it. It wasn't until I started taking online courses that teach practical Math that I was able to understand even the complex topics. It's really important for teachers to spot how their students take in the information given.
Humans are amazing. It's something in the future we'll reflect. Every good and bad we are have it within us. We learn and create a world that we're confident in. I hope I succeed in creating a uniting world to change them all.
