Some will lay anywhere, but some will find a geometrically pleasing location on your bedspread to to add themselves as a nearly perfect circle (not even just in the center, but at the 1/3 point on one axis).

    I'll stick a relevant quote here that I read in a textbook:
    *"The most efficient logical order for a subject is usually different from the best psychological order in which to learn it. Much mathematical writing is based too closely on the logical order of deduction in a subject, with too many definitions without, or before, the examples which motivate them, and too many answers before, or without, the questions they address."* - William Thurston

      @adamc973 Před 2 lety +37

      @@eksutensifu6710 It's essentially about how higher mathematics is taught. Have you ever gone through a higher maths textbook? You start with definitions, (what are these, where did these come from, why are we defining such strange and precise objects?), then we move onto simple propositions from these definitions, then these snowball into bigger propositions and theorems.
      We are interested in the theorems, and this itinerary of learning IS the most efficient way to get there, but it certainly isn't natural.
      Further, it isn't the way the mathematicians who built these subjects deduced their conclusions; Gauss didn't sit down one day, and have his first ever thought on linear algebra: "AHA! I shall begin by calling a determinantal map a map with these three properties...".
      Especially for earlier maths (first year of uni) this can provide a small barrier to learning, and the type of content here on youtube is ideal to fill the gap that textbooks leave, in order to richen the study.

      That's so cool. I'm halfway there(31), revisiting linear algebra to move on to calculus for algorithms. I chuckled the other day when I saw a 22 year old lamenting how late they developed their math skills. A lot of young people lamenting missed time, but age is also so relative. In that moment I knew there was someone older than me as well that I'd see who's returned to the journey of learning math. Nice to meet you, and so soon!
      It's easy to feel like it's late for something and it's cool to know there's always someone older not letting age be a factor.

      If a matrix M has det(M) = 0, M basically "squishes" the space from a higher dimension to a lower dimension.
      For M⁻¹ to exist, it would have to "re-expand" the space from a lower dimension to a higher dimension. This is a one-to-many relation. Inverses only exist for one-to-one relations (so that performing M and M⁻¹ will give unique answers).

"No matter how good you are, your first pot won't be that great. And no matter how bad you are, your 1000th pot will be pretty good."

    It's hard to overstate how powerful it is when anyone can learn something they want just by searching online. In a thousand subtle ways, when these explainers exist, projects go faster, school becomes easier, and math-phobia becomes a little bit less common.
    A lot of excellent lessons and intuitions stay confined to isolated classrooms, or worse, confined to some individual's head. It takes effort to make videos, or blog posts, and to put them out there. Here, we're hoping to offer a little bit of activation energy to anyone who has thought about doing something like this, but just never got around to it.

    Starting with concrete examples and then moving to the relations is the way "abstractions" are made in the first place: the etymology of abstract is "to draw out" what there is in common among a group of objects, events, situations. It is the way math is born

    Also, it's reassuring to hear practical broken down advice, right after hearing the good yet cliché advice of 'just start'.
