I'm an autistic woman and I never felt like I belonged in school more than in math class. I love math because I understand numbers and patterns a lot easier than I understand people. I have a Bachelor's degree in math and I plan on studying more on my own in the future.
Join the club: I’m autistic too. And just like you, I understand maths more than I do people. One has a set number of patterns; the other, I think, has way too many variables to be simplified.
As someone who took honours math growing up, but hasn’t even thought of math since highschool 10 years ago, it is actually insane to me that there are so many people who can’t do basic math as adults
As someone who had perfect scores in Canada-wide math contests in high school and was routinely top 50 in the entire country... I can't do math anymore. math are hard.

My middle school math teacher, who was a female, once yelled at me for assuming the subject of a math problem was a man and that it was sexist to do so; I had used "he/him" pronouns in the written extended response. In reality, my understanding of English grammar at the time was that if you don't know the gender of someone, you assume male. I was a straight-A student, by the way. Never got in trouble. That teacher was a joke.
same with my women's psychology class I Aced every test but then the teacher came up and said I didn't do this homework and guess what none of the other kids did it too because they just aced the class the rest were female and I was the only male who aced every test but got a D because of fake homework they won't let you win if you're a man they change the rules and thats how women like it they hate math because they can't change the rules so easily

@@Trigorastronomology There are literally algebraic equations that have a range from one value to another as their answers. And there are also questions in which there is no answer, or abstract numbers as the solution. Math is complex. Both you and your father should know that.
Hot take: My brain hates numbers so I decided long ago that going into STEM probably wasn't a great idea. Clearly I should have just demanded the entire system be changed to accommodate me. Many thanks to Brett for showing there are still sane young people out there.

Struggled getting through some of the math and physics classes I had to take in my undergrad but once you choose your higher level classes related to your specialization which is less math focused it becomes a lot easier
“2+2 might actually =5” 🤦♀️ As a math teacher, I am ashamed to be associated with people like this. It is true that there can be multiple solutions to the same problem, but not in the example she gave.
This is what repels me from all this craziness being pushed nowadays. I’m a very open-minded dude, but when you not only abandon fact and logic but ACTIVELY fight AGAINST them, you won’t have me on board.
Not only that, but push their dumb beliefs and ideologies onto others,and get violent when people reject them with sound logic and facts. It's like dealing with 13 year olds who think they know everything and are having roid rage while smoking crack laced with pcp.

I’m a fourth year applied mathematics major at UCLA (Latino btw since race/ethnicity apparently seems to matter a great deal nowadays), and it’s hilarious to hear that they’re calling calculus a “gatekeeper” for STEM when it’s literally the subject that helped me decide to major in math. Roughly speaking, at higher levels, math becomes less about numbers/calculations and more about using logic and reasoning to prove theoretical results which can then be used to quantify the real world as necessary. Unfortunately, we seem to be slowly straying away from logic and reasoning with every passing day
I'm a third year pure mathematics at the University of Missouri. It's the same for me! Calculus is what led to math and what made me facenated about the subject. It seems as our world is becoming less logical and more "feelings" based, they want every subject to be like that as well, even ones that use formal logic and reasoning to solve a proof. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
That's the hilarious part. The people complaining about any numbers in calculus either dropped out quickly or never qualified in the first place. The goal is more to develop the equations to solve problems (for mere mortals) than to do any calculations yourself.
Well said! Similar story here. Graduated from University of Kent with my masters in Physics, and maths, specifically calculus, is what introduced me to understanding the topic and growing a love for problem solving and logical thinking.
hello fellow stem fellas, second year Comp Sci girl here at Florida International University, and as someone who understood math well in general, i was convinced to get in stem, and i quite like it, logical thinking and mathematics is not a "gatekeeper" to stem, it is what one will need eventually to be a part of that stem profession,< 3
In most of my school years, my father taught me to not use a calculator and use my head. I used to write every equation down to where I remembered what things equal or how to get it done quickly. There's still time in my life out of school when I am bored and put random equations in my head and try to solve them as quickly as I can, one thing that helps and confuses people is that I'll write the equation in the air and I can see the numbers better. I don't think I'll even be like my dad because you could give him a random equation like 36×3+2-24 and he would come up with the answer 86 in seconds. Now seeing this and knowing people possibly are thinking this makes us "transphobic" is honestly laughable.

As a Black man with a degree in mathematics, I can attest that this is just woke nonsense. I swear the establishment funds this kind of idiocy just to sow discord. And calculus is awesome Brett!
Not saying any of this is good because it’s not, it’s really really stupid. But another reason people suck at math is that atleast in flordia, the common core and the standards of the state for math are really stupid and every time they change the only thing you hear from teachers is how bad it is .
As a math student I often struggle with feeling inferior to my professors and some of my peers, and thinking I'll never be smart enough, so thank you for getting rid of that anxiety for me, i now know there are definitely dumber ppl
@@sbyrstall certainly the likes of Alexander Gromov, Andrew Wiles, Terence Tao, Cedric Villani, and such genii inspire awe and are in a separate class of their own, and I have a lot of respect for all my professors as well, the main point I was getting at is that the world of academia seems so daunting at times that I feel like I'm just not cut out for it, that I'm simply not smart enough to be a part of it, when everyone I meet is so intimidatingly smart, but then I see people like those referenced in this video thriving in the world pf academia and suddenly the bar feels like it's a little lower, and if they can make it then I should fare just well. This is of course in reference to mathematics, while I hold in great esteem past academics in the humanities, I now hold very little respect for the world of academia as it concerns the humanities seen as how woke ideology has proliferated this far amongst its members. Because of its own nature mathematics tends to be a lot less political than the humanities and it truly saddens me to see that even that is now starting to be a point of contention for woke ideology.
Not sure when you went to HS, but I totally get it. I got to thinking though and in the 90s we NEVER would have let things get this far. They would either be ridiculed relentlessly or just straight up beaten up and given so many swirlies that it flushed the stupid right off them. I personally believe that bullies play a vital role in growing up.
As a trans woman, this whole situation with gender identity and I just think things have gone way too far. Even I understand that some of this is just too far gone.

I can tell you its heading into a direction nobody wants to go, that I can say is a sure thing, like this isnt just about math when I say this but some people really have become the biggest crybabies of all time that often makes the excuse of "I dont like this so I put an excuse to not do it or value it and want it to go away" every single time. Hate math? Call it transphobic then even slap on some excuse from period of history that shows it smh...dear lord people have really fallen when they start going after math of all things. And look tbh I hate geomentry, its my own weak point in math but do I think it should be cancelled just because I dont get it or hate it? No, cause I know what the value of math is with my own daily life, paying bills and taxes, costs even stuff like that.
It's only a few ignorant extremists that push ridiculous "ideas" such as "mathematics is intrinsically discriminatory" and "there is no such thing as objective reality". They are basically in the same category as flat-earthers.
I fell in love with math when I got out of highschool because it gave me comfort in knowing it was always objective. When I did art school for my associates it was my rock because I was either wrong or I was right and as long as I did my work correctly I'd be 100% correct. But mixing in subjectivity to this sterile environment is going to take away my comfort subject. 😔
Same. I love trig in particular. It's functional, predictable and repeatable. It doesn't care how you feel, or what (or who) you ate for dinner last night. Math is never unfaithful to you, and never wants to talk about its feelings, or how it was badly treated by History when they met up for coffee. I love math with all my heart, as I know it will always be there for me, and it doesn't care that I'm also in love with Science. Science is my dark mistress. There's always something new to discover about it. ❤
Word problems are good because they teach you how to relate real life problems to mathematical concepts and using math to solve them. But I do admit, some of these word problems are insane. But it should be based on common problems, rather than woke ideology problems.
I am a grade 11 student from Ontario and I always take applied math because I suck at it. However back in grade 9 the province forced everybody to take a de-streamed math course so it would be more inclusive and I had to take academic math. Luckily I did fine but lots of people ending up failing because the education system is more worried about people’s feelings then they are of peoples grades. Societies fucked up right now!
Im confused. When they worry about peoples grades they should worry about their feelings. When they worry about peoples feelings they should worry about their grades. Which is it?
I’m soo confused about maths having to be LGBTQ+. As a Physics graduate, I’ve used maths as a tool to solve problems (real world and theoretical), do statistical analysis on data, write computer programs etc… It’s also a great subject that builds a logical way of thinking which personally, I think is a vital skill that, unfortunately, I see less and less of these days. Maths is a skill, how is a skill supposed to be LGBTQ+ Like Bret said, you study maths and you either get it or you don’t. Personally, I think everyone is capable, of course there are some people who can understand it straight away but there are others that if they put in hard work will eventually grasp it. It took me some time to grasp calculus first time learning but once I put the work in and developed my maths skills, literally the universe is my limit.
as a cisheteropatriarchial man, I was routinely top 50 in my country in math contests back in high school; math was completely intuitive to me. I never listened in class and just played board games, and I never did any homework; I just knew the answers to problems and couldn't show my work because there was no work; i just knew the answers intuitively. But then I met calculus and couldn't understand it at all. Or the concept of different sized infinites. I hate higher level maths, I think it's a conspiracy to take down cisheteropatriarchs like me.
@@Chris-hx3om well the universe includes everything, if there are universes outside of our 'universe' they are just part of the same universe, as by existing they are included
@@YSFmemoriesi think if you start understanding the real world applications of say, differential equations, or basic integration, it might be way more interesting to you, and make you wanna do it even more.

Lol the “math is math” meme made me chuckle! 🤣👍🏻 I enjoy basic math, geometry, and algebra. I’m rusty at some of it, but I enjoyed it in school. I gave up when things like “imaginary numbers” were introduced to me. Never took calculus, but I don’t think I could grasp it if I had. There are times when I’m bored where I’ll just start doing math for no reason. Side note; never ONCE in my life would I have EVER thought math would become a racist or sexist issue…. Can we revive Hitler to deal with these creatures? *JOKING* …kinda….
Saxon math is pretty rigorous. I’m a retired math teacher and, yeah, there are some students who have problems with it. That’s why I objected to trying to push some students beyond algebra 2. In fact I really think that for the average student geometry is all the further we need to go, and it’s not because they need to learn the math, but they need to learn logical thinking and problem solving.
I once asked my teacher why everyone needed algebra in a practical sense and she couldn't give an answer. I don't think a bartender necessarily needs to know something a physicist should know, right?

In my late 50s I was confronted by a problem. For the first time since high school I used trigonometry which proved the teacher correct. More importantly, when that problem arose I KNEW how to find a solution. This is why teaching seemingly unnecessary mathematical concepts is important.

To be fair, I think saying "things are different than they were in my day" is pretty much of a standard line from us old-timers though.
I tend to be a little blunt with the whole LGBT*** etc stuff. I do not hold anything against gay people, but there is no need for it in schools, anywhere. People will either have no interest in gay/ lesbian, or they will support it, or dislike it. Adding it into the curriculum anywhere is not necessary education. What is taught should be as neutral as possible (because of all the different beliefs/ ideals parents have).
@@natepoodle9132 I would agree with you. I think there is a place for a neutral discussion of sexual orientation in sex ed class in high school. Simply acknowledging the existence of gay and bisexual people. Not encouraging it. Just acknowledging it. I'm literally talking about something like a teacher in a high school sex ed class saying "Most people are heterosexual. Some people are homosexual. And some people are bisexual." That's it. End of "gay" content. And then just basic sex ed for everyone. This is how babies are made. This is how you avoid making babies. This is how you avoid contracting diseases. This is how you have a healthy relationship. These are warning signs of unhealthy relationships. Just basic stuff that covers everyone. The point of school is to prepare kids for the world they are about to enter and they are going to encounter gay and bisexual people throughout the course of their life so they should know that they exist. And there will, in all likelihood, be at least one gay or bisexual kid in every class. And their existence should be acknowledged. When it's relevant. Which isn't very often. And there's potentially a place for discussion of gay rights in a civics class if it's about civil rights in general. I don't think acknowledging reality and history is ever inappropriate so long as it's done in a neutral manner. Education like that isn't going to encourage anyone to be gay or bisexual. That's just not how sexual orientation works. You're either gay or you're not. No amount of encouragement from a misguided or activist teacher is going to turn anyone gay. And that's where sexual orientation and "gender identity" differs. You absolutely can convince a confused child or teenager that they are "trans". I don't imagine it's even that difficult if you pick the right kid. Someone who's struggling, who's emotionally vulnerable. Which is exactly why there's no place in schools for "gender identity". It serves no legitimate purpose other than recruitment. But these teachers aren't trying to encourage anyone to be gay or lesbian or bisexual. They encouraging kids to be trans, or non-binary, or gender fluid, or queer (whatever the hell that means). And the reason for that is that there is a tremendous amount of homophobia within the trans movement. This kids they're targeting are primarily the gay and lesbian kids. It's this twisted attempt to "fix" them by transitioning them. It's exactly what Iran does with gay and lesbian people. I mean, let that sink in. These people are on the same page as the Iranian Morality Police who beat women to death because they didn't wear their headscarf correctly. And look, there are going to be kids struggling with their gender identity. And there are going to be circumstances where a teacher or a school counsellor becomes aware of it or just that something is wrong in general. But the way it needs to be approached is that you wait for the kid to tell you. You can ask the kid if something is wrong. In fact, if an educator can see that a kid is in distress it's incumbent upon them to ask. But you never lead them down a path. You let them tell you what's going on. And then you contact their parents and you encourage the parents to get the kid into therapy. To deal with the actual underlaying issues. Because their "gender" isn't the real issue. It's never the real issue. They have other things going on and those are the issues that need to be addressed in order to help.
@@danielgillespie7899 OK, I will agree for the most part. Tbh it always should have stayed LGB. I will actually support any endeavor to keep it LGB (without any other letters). You are probably right; on the other hand I really think we should have 100% transparency given to parents. They should also be able to opt out, and have their kids taken somewhere if they do not want their children to be taught it. The gender stuff needs to be completely removed. LGB stuff? You are probably right, as long as we can all agree it is 100% neutral, and pretty much like you just said in your comment. No, it will not make kids gay necessarily; also, teaching it will not stop people disliking gay/ lesbian people either. A lot of people like me are not really so understood, and I think I am in a majority (but I cannot prove that). I do not actually care whether someone is gay or not. I do not like it shoved in my face, but that is a different matter (and that is not what you are doing now lol, we are just discussing something that I brought up!)
@@natepoodle9132 I couldn't agree with you more about the LGB being separated from the T and all the other letters. And a lot of gay and lesbian people are on the same page. We've had enough. The t, etc. are starting to damage people's perception of us. You know, we were just trying to be nice by including them in our "community" but they've completely taken over and they're advocating for things that are not in our best interest and frankly don't have anything to do with us. I think neutrality in education is extremely important. Across the board. There are some subjects like maths and chemistry where it's purely factual and objective and the answer is either right or wrong. But when you start getting into the humanities subjects like civics there rarely is a right or wrong answer. It's about perspective and opinion. And in those subjects educators should constantly strive to be neutral. Kids are not stupid. they can absorb information and come to a conclusion. They don't need to be told what the conclusion should be. Take how "America" is taught. I don't think that students should be taught that America is the greatest country in the world. I think they should be taught the positive things about America and the not so positive things. And they should be taught that alongside the positive things about other countries and systems and the not so positive things about other countries and systems. And if you do that most students are going to come to the conclusion that on balance American is a pretty good place. They don't need it shoved down their throats to come to that conclusion when presented with objective information. They're not stupid. I think the left often thinks kids are stupid. But then they think everyone else is stupid. Education should never be about indoctrination - of any kind - not of pro-America indoctrination, not of anti-America indoctrination, not of Christian indoctrination, not of anti-Christian indoctrination, not of pro-gay indoctrination, not of anti-gay indoctrination. Education should be about empowerment. Empowering students to make up their own minds. But they can only do that if they are presented with unbiased and well-rounded information. But unfortunately that's not what they're getting. Not in schools and not in colleges. As for parents being able to opt their kids out of sex education, I'm not against that. But I think if there was a neutral curriculum that just stuck to the basic facts and didn't try to influence student's opinions about sex and sexuality, a curriculum where more time was spent on the relationships side of things (like how to have a healthy relationship) than on the sex side of things and schools were transparent with parents about the curriculum before hand, I don't think most parents would choose to opt their kids out. But if they did that is their right as parents. However I would argue that there's a component of sex ed that if really crucial. And that's the puberty side of things. It's really easy for a kid to feel like a freak when they don't know that what's happening with them is perfectly normal. And at that age it can extremely difficult for a child to go to their parents and ask questions. It's a very embarrassing time. And this is the age where kids are most vulnerable to the trans ideology. A lot of kids get convinced that they're trans simply because they're uncomfortable with the changes that are taking place. And you can educate kids on puberty without really getting into sex. Obviously you have to touch on it to explain why the changes are happening but you only have to touch on it. I understand that there will be parents who are still uncomfortable with that, but I think if they understood that this is the point at which things can go wrong and kids can start feeling like there's something wrong with them they'd be less uncomfortable with it. But that can only happen if the schools have an appropriate curriculum and are upfront with parents about it. And I really see no reason why, if a parents wants to be, why parents couldn't be present for the lesson. And we are talking about a single lesson here. This is not something that needs to be taught on an on-going basis. So I can't see any reason why a few parents couldn't be present for it. At the end of the day, it's supposed to be education, not indoctrination. And it's becoming increasingly clear not much actual education is going on in a lot of schools. And that has to stop. And it's everyone's responsibility to stop it but parents really need to be on the front line fighting for a proper education for their kids. And a big part of that is parents pushing for school choice. That's what will end all of this nonsense. When schools start haemorrhaging students they won't have a choice but to get their acts together.
I don't know how widely known this is, but during the COVID lockdown (at least in the US, idk about other countries), grades weren't allowed to drop. So a kid could essentially leave class in March with a B, do absolutely no work at all for the rest of the school year, and still come out with a B. It taught us that just because an unfortunate situation happens, we can just push pause on life and everything will be okay. That's not how the world works!
This is f*ing wild. I'm bisexual and in Stem and never once did I think: you know what this course is missing? Talk about my sexuality. I mean wtf? Math isn't about the individuals learning it, it's about genderless and sexless numbers.
Well, sorry to tell you that, but in some languages, mathematics concepts do have gender. In French : While numbers are masculine, addition, soustraction, multiplication and division are feminine. Triangle, rectangle, tetrahedron are masculine but, obviously, “geometry” is feminine Even “mathematics” are feminine. Hence males are on the weak side of the equation (see the joke there) (btw, equation is also feminine) But it’s a pity there are still no transgender words in French for mathematics concept… Oh la la
As someone in school working on their masters, I watch videos like this and realize that I can answer questions and write entire term papers on absolutely nothing and if they give me a bad grade claim it’s gender bias or some kind of phobia just for grins and giggles…😅
It's already happening. People are using their sex and race to threaten professors with lawsuits. Which they know even if it's not true their career is FOREVER history.
I’m about as bad as this at math, but I had a really bad homeschooling experience. What blows my mind is all these public schoolers are just as bad, yet their parents would judge homeschoolers for being homeschooled even though many of them have an excellent hands on experience and are very smart.
omg it's MATH! the best math teacher i ever had was very strict and no nonsense. it did not matter what i had going on outside of her classroom, when i walked in that door i was to focus on math and math alone for the next hour. and you know what? i actually learned math (i know, shocking right?) and she's now one of my favorite teachers and was the first math teacher i ever had to make me enjoy and look forward to math class.
Math was my favorite subject in school. It felt like meditation, but it only felt that way once it got to algebra and beyond. I’m not a human calculator, I can’t do simple math of the top of my head quickly or anything like that, but I’d sit and do calculus for hours because I enjoy it. I ended up majoring in it in addition to a physics major because I realized that I couldn’t imagine taking a single semester without math. Math is incredible, I love it a lot. Might sound weird, but I can geek out about it all day. I have a rare feeling for it, where if people say “girls/blacks/etc. can’t do math” I don’t get mad just because that’s a wrong thing to say, but because the people saying it are missing the point of how beautiful mathematics is. If you adore something the way I adore mathematics, you want to share it with anyone who will listen, it doesn’t matter who they are. When you have beauty like that to be shared, how can your mind be filled with anything other than the subject itself? Race, sex, LGBT, these are all just distractions.
That's amazing man! Btw can you recommend nice internet resources so I can understand Analytic Continuation, Holomorphic Functions and Manifolds are? I'm trying to understand them so I can read Road To Reality by Sir Roger Penrose! Thanks in advance!
@@thehyperfinestructure6550 hm, I think you would need to look at complex analysis for the first two, and then probably at some topology for the manifolds. I will admit, I did not reach that level of mathematics in my own studies (it was not required and I took math classes centering on more applied topics such as cryptography and numerical analysis instead, and my graduate education went further into physics and not mathematics), so I have no specific reading suggestions for it. I do find that when I want to learn more mathematics though, I can often find UA-cam videos of entire classes on things like complex analysis and topology, so that might be worth a shot. And (this next part might sound obvious), but whatever form of medium holds your attention the most when teaching will be the best way to learn these things, aside from taking a class all together. I find what helps most to understand math is typically doing problem sets with the math involved though. There are often problem sets online with solutions that can help with this. I hope that helps a little, have a nice day!
One of the things I was taught to do in lengthy word problems is to cut out extraneous information. Find the question they want you to answer at the end, then cross out anything you don't need from the word problem, as it will only confuse you with the excess as you think about it. What they are asking here is for the math teachers to introduce MORE excess information for people who are already claiming that the subject is too confusing.
Absolutely right. I teach maths and one of the issues that students find hardest is turning a wordy problem into the underlying maths. Now we’re supposed to make it more confusing ?
Everytime you have opposite opinion people always use the word "transphobic" 🤣 they clearly abusing its word to every single problem or petty debates. Sad world we live in.
The reason 550 divided by 2 = 275 is very shocking for some reason is because the human brain isn’t the best calculator and so when somebody tries to quickly do the equation in their head, it mostly comes back as 225.
I asked my 5 year old son this question and he got it right. If he can do it then this just blows my mind that grown adults can't... Now I do work with my kid teaching him math constantly because I always loved math and now he does too. BUT HE'S 5...
Mathematics is the most straightforward and unbiased subject, ever. It is also the most inclusive, because as long as you sit there, and don't have the attention span of a pigeon, and your teacher's pretty good and explaining the work, you will be able to understand it. Throughout high school, I used to hate mathematics. But then I went to university and had to do some mathematics courses that were core courses in my degree, and I realized that once you have a good teacher, and you pay attention, and you do the work, you should not have a problem. That's when mathematics becomes fun. But the bottom line is, there is such an attack on the subject because it's too real for these people to handle. Math doesn't care about your feelings. It just exists. And it is bootiful.

I never liked math before I went to college. As someone with ADHD, I had to spend hours after school trying to figure out concepts on my own. I am thankful now because math helped me develop critical thinking skills and a strong work ethic. Now I'm working towards a degree in teaching math. And definitely going into private school teaching.

You know, I actually like math. It was the one place that I felt success in school. Why? Because there was always a correct answer. I didn't have to wonder what the teacher was looking for. I didn't have to interpret someone else's intentions. I didn't have to be creative. I was solving a puzzle. 2+2=4 ALWAYS. It didn't matter what the author had for breakfast that morning. It didn't matter what year the text was written in. It didn't matter how I was feeling either. Why are they trying to change that?

One of the problems are, these few have the largest voices or attempt to have the largest voices and hardly anyone, especially people of the LGBT community, speaks up against them and try to exile them from the community. Thus, allowing them to slowly get away with the nonsense they are spewing until it becomes supported because people don't want to be called "phobic" even though there is nothing phobic about saying, "math being transphobic makes no sense."
It seems to me, particularly in education, there is a push to listen to or be the most extreme voice possible, and everyone else gets dismissed as just not 'educated' enough, even about our own lives.
@@DrSwazz That's apparently super difficult, people will talk about anything controversial because it brings forth a reaction, which in turn gives them attention. Naturally, "The trans controversy" is not a case that needs as much attention as it has received, but It's a sensitive subject, therefore people will overreact to stuff so that they'll receive attention. Be it good or bad, people will continue talking about it, ultimately making the most influential figures in this discussion personalities based on being conservative, or extreme alone. The fawning will only stop with time seeing as those with a controversy fetish will stay as long as it gets attention. Truly a tiring circle really, "Changing gender makes no sense, how can you feel like a gender?" "It does" and here's why etc etc" and the circle continues, making an endless circle of critism and debate
I dont really care what people are in terms of sexuality as long as they dont make it their personality, but these people who go to extreme measures just give the entire community a bad name. trying to skew math because of “feelings” is pure insanity.
@@p4rm3s34n i never implied i did. i'm well aware there are trans people who just want to do the change and to be treated normally and never support anything like this. when these extreme ideas are making headlines it'll obviously cause people to assume this is the agenda of the movement, and if a trans person spoke out about it would get belittled by those who "support" them.
I hated maths at school too. it was my kryptonite, which makes it ironic that I spent my entire working life in Accounts and having to reconcile 'numbers'. At least I was aware that I had to have enough maths knowledge to know if the number given by the calculator was correct or not - amazing how often you push the wrong button! I don't remember gender being a factor though.
I’m really bad at math. I cannot do it off the top of my head. And that’s because I was a military, and every school ( of which there were several ) I went to was on a different sections/theories, and none of the teachers wanted to stop to help me because I was considered too behind for them.
A lot of girls transferred out of my Calculus and Physics AP classes because the teacher's examples and test questions were all sports based. Like kicked a football with angle and velocity to determine if it would clear the goal post and most of the girls didn't even know what the goal post looked like.

My testimony: After being an atheist for 8+ years, and "married" to another female, I got the urge one day to say out loud "IF there is an Almighty God that does NOT wish us pain or sorrow, please bring me truth, I wish to know you exist". Then God immediately started bringing me the answers I had been searching 8-11 YEARS for! I witnessed Him take control of my internet and the rest of my reality; He first proved to me that demons exist (I called them "inter-dimensional beings"), then He proved His own existence, which I later found to be Jesus Christ. As soon as I found Jesus at the end of 2020, He IMMEDIATELY took away my transgenderism, bisexuality, depression, daily suicide attempts, self harm, bulimia and anorexia; and He did this all without me asking Him to, because THAT'S how merciful and loving He is! Praise God! Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ while you have a chance. The Euphrates River has dried, which is Biblical prophecy. God bless you in Jesus' mighty name❤

your grasp on any sort of subject you take all depends on how much a teacher cares. my 8th grade math teacher didn't care at all about explaining how to solve each problem, then it got worse and worse over the years to the point of dropping out and getting my GHD.

In my experience, a lot of math teachers have spent time growing up with the "geeks and freaks" in their closest friend group so don't really even bat an eye about blue hair or piercings or trans stuff. They just teach the content.
My personal experience is that all the math teachers at my school are just average midwestern people. Could be that I’m from the Midwest but I’m from a Midwest city

I’m a fourth year applied mathematics major at UCLA (Latino btw since race/ethnicity apparently seems to matter a great deal nowadays), and it’s hilarious to hear that they’re calling calculus a “gatekeeper” for STEM when it’s literally the subject that helped me decide to major in math. Roughly speaking, at higher levels, math becomes less about numbers/calculations and more about using logic and reasoning to prove theoretical results which can then be used to quantify the real world as necessary. Unfortunately, we seem to be slowly straying away from logic and reasoning with every passing day
I'm a third year pure mathematics at the University of Missouri. It's the same for me! Calculus is what led to math and what made me facenated about the subject.
It seems as our world is becoming less logical and more "feelings" based, they want every subject to be like that as well, even ones that use formal logic and reasoning to solve a proof. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
That's the hilarious part.
The people complaining about any numbers in calculus either dropped out quickly or never qualified in the first place. The goal is more to develop the equations to solve problems (for mere mortals) than to do any calculations yourself.
Well said! Similar story here. Graduated from University of Kent with my masters in Physics, and maths, specifically calculus, is what introduced me to understanding the topic and growing a love for problem solving and logical thinking.

In most of my school years, my father taught me to not use a calculator and use my head. I used to write every equation down to where I remembered what things equal or how to get it done quickly. There's still time in my life out of school when I am bored and put random equations in my head and try to solve them as quickly as I can, one thing that helps and confuses people is that I'll write the equation in the air and I can see the numbers better. I don't think I'll even be like my dad because you could give him a random equation like 36×3+2-24 and he would come up with the answer 86 in seconds.

Math is never unfaithful to you, and never wants to talk about its feelings, or how it was badly treated by History when they met up for coffee. I love math with all my heart, as I know it will always be there for me, and it doesn't care that I'm also in love with Science. Science is my dark mistress.

Word problems are good because they teach you how to relate real life problems to mathematical concepts and using math to solve them. But I do admit, some of these word problems are insane. But it should be based on common problems, rather than woke ideology problems.

I am a grade 11 student from Ontario and I always take applied math because I suck at it. However back in grade 9 the province forced everybody to take a de-streamed math course so it would be more inclusive and I had to take academic math. Luckily I did fine but lots of people ending up failing because the education system is more worried about people’s feelings then they are of peoples grades.
Societies fucked up right now!
Im confused. When they worry about peoples grades they should worry about their feelings. When they worry about peoples feelings they should worry about their grades. Which is it?

I’m soo confused about maths having to be LGBTQ+. As a Physics graduate, I’ve used maths as a tool to solve problems (real world and theoretical), do statistical analysis on data, write computer programs etc… It’s also a great subject that builds a logical way of thinking which personally, I think is a vital skill that, unfortunately, I see less and less of these days. Maths is a skill, how is a skill supposed to be LGBTQ+ Like Bret said, you study maths and you either get it or you don’t. Personally, I think everyone is capable, of course there are some people who can understand it straight away but there are others that if they put in hard work will eventually grasp it. It took me some time to grasp calculus first time learning but once I put the work in and developed my maths skills, literally the universe is my limit.
Is that the infinite universe? Or one of the mutli-verses?

as a cisheteropatriarchial man, I was routinely top 50 in my country in math contests back in high school; math was completely intuitive to me. I never listened in class and just played board games, and I never did any homework; I just knew the answers to problems and couldn't show my work because there was no work; i just knew the answers intuitively.
But then I met calculus and couldn't understand it at all. Or the concept of different sized infinites. I hate higher level maths, I think it's a conspiracy to take down cisheteropatriarchs like me.

Lol the “math is math” meme made me chuckle! 🤣👍🏻 I enjoy basic math, geometry, and algebra. I’m rusty at some of it, but I enjoyed it in school. I gave up when things like “imaginary numbers” were introduced to me. Never took calculus, but I don’t think I could grasp it if I had. There are times when I’m bored where I’ll just start doing math for no reason. Side note; never ONCE in my life would I have EVER thought math would become a racist or sexist issue….

Saxon math is pretty rigorous. I’m a retired math teacher and, yeah, there are some students who have problems with it. That’s why I objected to trying to push some students beyond algebra 2. In fact I really think that for the average student geometry is all the further we need to go, and it’s not because they need to learn the math, but they need to learn logical thinking and problem solving.

In my late 50s I was confronted by a problem. For the first time since high school I used trigonometry which proved the teacher correct. More importantly, when that problem arose I KNEW how to find a solution.

Math is hard enough for some that cluttering it with anything else is tragic
I'm gay and I was by far the best maths student in my high school. So that kind of throws the whole "cisheteropatriarchal" thing out the window.
I tend to be a little blunt with the whole LGBT*** etc stuff. I do not hold anything against gay people, but there is no need for it in schools, anywhere. People will either have no interest in gay/ lesbian, or they will support it, or dislike it. Adding it into the curriculum anywhere is not necessary education. What is taught should be as neutral as possible (because of all the different beliefs/ ideals parents have).
@@natepoodle9132 I would agree with you. I think there is a place for a neutral discussion of sexual orientation in sex ed class in high school. Simply acknowledging the existence of gay and bisexual people. Not encouraging it. Just acknowledging it. I'm literally talking about something like a teacher in a high school sex ed class saying "Most people are heterosexual. Some people are homosexual. And some people are bisexual." That's it. End of "gay" content. And then just basic sex ed for everyone. This is how babies are made. This is how you avoid making babies. This is how you avoid contracting diseases. This is how you have a healthy relationship. These are warning signs of unhealthy relationships. Just basic stuff that covers everyone. The point of school is to prepare kids for the world they are about to enter and they are going to encounter gay and bisexual people throughout the course of their life so they should know that they exist. And there will, in all likelihood, be at least one gay or bisexual kid in every class. And their existence should be acknowledged. When it's relevant. Which isn't very often.
And there's potentially a place for discussion of gay rights in a civics class if it's about civil rights in general. I don't think acknowledging reality and history is ever inappropriate so long as it's done in a neutral manner. Education like that isn't going to encourage anyone to be gay or bisexual. That's just not how sexual orientation works. You're either gay or you're not. No amount of encouragement from a misguided or activist teacher is going to turn anyone gay. And that's where sexual orientation and "gender identity" differs. You absolutely can convince a confused child or teenager that they are "trans". I don't imagine it's even that difficult if you pick the right kid. Someone who's struggling, who's emotionally vulnerable. Which is exactly why there's no place in schools for "gender identity". It serves no legitimate purpose other than recruitment. But these teachers aren't trying to encourage anyone to be gay or lesbian or bisexual. They encouraging kids to be trans, or non-binary, or gender fluid, or queer (whatever the hell that means). And the reason for that is that there is a tremendous amount of homophobia within the trans movement. This kids they're targeting are primarily the gay and lesbian kids. It's this twisted attempt to "fix" them by transitioning them. It's exactly what Iran does with gay and lesbian people. I mean, let that sink in. These people are on the same page as the Iranian Morality Police who beat women to death because they didn't wear their headscarf correctly.
And look, there are going to be kids struggling with their gender identity. And there are going to be circumstances where a teacher or a school counsellor becomes aware of it or just that something is wrong in general. But the way it needs to be approached is that you wait for the kid to tell you. You can ask the kid if something is wrong. In fact, if an educator can see that a kid is in distress it's incumbent upon them to ask. But you never lead them down a path. You let them tell you what's going on. And then you contact their parents and you encourage the parents to get the kid into therapy. To deal with the actual underlaying issues. Because their "gender" isn't the real issue. It's never the real issue. They have other things going on and those are the issues that need to be addressed in order to help.
@@danielgillespie7899 OK, I will agree for the most part. Tbh it always should have stayed LGB. I will actually support any endeavor to keep it LGB (without any other letters). You are probably right; on the other hand I really think we should have 100% transparency given to parents. They should also be able to opt out, and have their kids taken somewhere if they do not want their children to be taught it.
The gender stuff needs to be completely removed. LGB stuff? You are probably right, as long as we can all agree it is 100% neutral, and pretty much like you just said in your comment. No, it will not make kids gay necessarily; also, teaching it will not stop people disliking gay/ lesbian people either.
A lot of people like me are not really so understood, and I think I am in a majority (but I cannot prove that). I do not actually care whether someone is gay or not. I do not like it shoved in my face, but that is a different matter (and that is not what you are doing now lol, we are just discussing something that I brought up!)
@@natepoodle9132 I couldn't agree with you more about the LGB being separated from the T and all the other letters. And a lot of gay and lesbian people are on the same page. We've had enough. The t, etc. are starting to damage people's perception of us. You know, we were just trying to be nice by including them in our "community" but they've completely taken over and they're advocating for things that are not in our best interest and frankly don't have anything to do with us.
I think neutrality in education is extremely important. Across the board. There are some subjects like maths and chemistry where it's purely factual and objective and the answer is either right or wrong. But when you start getting into the humanities subjects like civics there rarely is a right or wrong answer. It's about perspective and opinion. And in those subjects educators should constantly strive to be neutral. Kids are not stupid. they can absorb information and come to a conclusion. They don't need to be told what the conclusion should be.
Take how "America" is taught. I don't think that students should be taught that America is the greatest country in the world. I think they should be taught the positive things about America and the not so positive things. And they should be taught that alongside the positive things about other countries and systems and the not so positive things about other countries and systems. And if you do that most students are going to come to the conclusion that on balance American is a pretty good place. They don't need it shoved down their throats to come to that conclusion when presented with objective information. They're not stupid. I think the left often thinks kids are stupid. But then they think everyone else is stupid.
Education should never be about indoctrination - of any kind - not of pro-America indoctrination, not of anti-America indoctrination, not of Christian indoctrination, not of anti-Christian indoctrination, not of pro-gay indoctrination, not of anti-gay indoctrination. Education should be about empowerment. Empowering students to make up their own minds. But they can only do that if they are presented with unbiased and well-rounded information. But unfortunately that's not what they're getting. Not in schools and not in colleges.
As for parents being able to opt their kids out of sex education, I'm not against that. But I think if there was a neutral curriculum that just stuck to the basic facts and didn't try to influence student's opinions about sex and sexuality, a curriculum where more time was spent on the relationships side of things (like how to have a healthy relationship) than on the sex side of things and schools were transparent with parents about the curriculum before hand, I don't think most parents would choose to opt their kids out. But if they did that is their right as parents.
However I would argue that there's a component of sex ed that if really crucial. And that's the puberty side of things. It's really easy for a kid to feel like a freak when they don't know that what's happening with them is perfectly normal. And at that age it can extremely difficult for a child to go to their parents and ask questions. It's a very embarrassing time. And this is the age where kids are most vulnerable to the trans ideology. A lot of kids get convinced that they're trans simply because they're uncomfortable with the changes that are taking place. And you can educate kids on puberty without really getting into sex. Obviously you have to touch on it to explain why the changes are happening but you only have to touch on it.
I understand that there will be parents who are still uncomfortable with that, but I think if they understood that this is the point at which things can go wrong and kids can start feeling like there's something wrong with them they'd be less uncomfortable with it. But that can only happen if the schools have an appropriate curriculum and are upfront with parents about it. And I really see no reason why, if a parents wants to be, why parents couldn't be present for the lesson. And we are talking about a single lesson here. This is not something that needs to be taught on an on-going basis. So I can't see any reason why a few parents couldn't be present for it.
At the end of the day, it's supposed to be education, not indoctrination. And it's becoming increasingly clear not much actual education is going on in a lot of schools. And that has to stop. And it's everyone's responsibility to stop it but parents really need to be on the front line fighting for a proper education for their kids. And a big part of that is parents pushing for school choice. That's what will end all of this nonsense. When schools start haemorrhaging students they won't have a choice but to get their acts together.
Turing was gay, I mean...
I don't know how widely known this is, but during the COVID lockdown (at least in the US, idk about other countries), grades weren't allowed to drop. So a kid could essentially leave class in March with a B, do absolutely no work at all for the rest of the school year, and still come out with a B. It taught us that just because an unfortunate situation happens, we can just push pause on life and everything will be okay. That's not how the world works!

Well, sorry to tell you that, but in some languages, mathematics concepts do have gender.
In French :
While numbers are masculine, addition, soustraction, multiplication and division are feminine.
Triangle, rectangle, tetrahedron are masculine but, obviously, “geometry” is feminine
Even “mathematics” are feminine. Hence males are on the weak side of the equation (see the joke there) (btw, equation is also feminine)
But it’s a pity there are still no transgender words in French for mathematics concept… Oh la la
Numbers have gender in Arabic.

omg it's MATH! the best math teacher i ever had was very strict and no nonsense. it did not matter what i had going on outside of her classroom, when i walked in that door i was to focus on math and math alone for the next hour. and you know what? i actually learned math (i know, shocking right?) and she's now one of my favorite teachers and was the first math teacher i ever had to make me enjoy and look forward to math class.
Math was my favorite subject in school. It felt like meditation, but it only felt that way once it got to algebra and beyond. I’m not a human calculator, I can’t do simple math of the top of my head quickly or anything like that, but I’d sit and do calculus for hours because I enjoy it. I ended up majoring in it in addition to a physics major because I realized that I couldn’t imagine taking a single semester without math. Math is incredible, I love it a lot. Might sound weird, but I can geek out about it all day. I have a rare feeling for it, where if people say “girls/blacks/etc. can’t do math” I don’t get mad just because that’s a wrong thing to say, but because the people saying it are missing the point of how beautiful mathematics is. If you adore something the way I adore mathematics, you want to share it with anyone who will listen, it doesn’t matter who they are. When you have beauty like that to be shared, how can your mind be filled with anything other than the subject itself? Race, sex, LGBT, these are all just distractions.
That's amazing man! Btw can you recommend nice internet resources so I can understand Analytic Continuation, Holomorphic Functions and Manifolds are? I'm trying to understand them so I can read Road To Reality by Sir Roger Penrose! Thanks in advance!
@@thehyperfinestructure6550 hm, I think you would need to look at complex analysis for the first two, and then probably at some topology for the manifolds. I will admit, I did not reach that level of mathematics in my own studies (it was not required and I took math classes centering on more applied topics such as cryptography and numerical analysis instead, and my graduate education went further into physics and not mathematics), so I have no specific reading suggestions for it. I do find that when I want to learn more mathematics though, I can often find UA-cam videos of entire classes on things like complex analysis and topology, so that might be worth a shot. And (this next part might sound obvious), but whatever form of medium holds your attention the most when teaching will be the best way to learn these things, aside from taking a class all together.
I find what helps most to understand math is typically doing problem sets with the math involved though. There are often problem sets online with solutions that can help with this.
I hope that helps a little, have a nice day!

One of the things I was taught to do in lengthy word problems is to cut out extraneous information. Find the question they want you to answer at the end, then cross out anything you don't need from the word problem, as it will only confuse you with the excess as you think about it. What they are asking here is for the math teachers to introduce MORE excess information for people who are already claiming that the subject is too confusing.
Absolutely right. I teach maths and one of the issues that students find hardest is turning a wordy problem into the underlying maths. Now we’re supposed to make it more confusing ?

Mathematics is the most straightforward and unbiased subject, ever. It is also the most inclusive, because as long as you sit there, and don't have the attention span of a pigeon, and your teacher's pretty good and explaining the work, you will be able to understand it. Throughout high school, I used to hate mathematics. But then I went to university and had to do some mathematics courses that were core courses in my degree, and I realized that once you have a good teacher, and you pay attention, and you do the work, you should not have a problem. That's when mathematics becomes fun.
But the bottom line is, there is such an attack on the subject because it's too real for these people to handle. Math doesn't care about your feelings. It just exists. And it is bootiful.

My answer,,your right..they are an embarresing for humanhood itself
I dont really care what people are in terms of sexuality as long as they dont make it their personality, but these people who go to extreme measures just give the entire community a bad name. trying to skew math because of “feelings” is pure insanity.
We're barrelling towards the 2 + 2 = 5 and it's terrifyingly hilariously mortifying 😂
The fact that you've been convinced that this is some common thing that is happening is pure insanity.
@@p4rm3s34n i never implied i did. i'm well aware there are trans people who just want to do the change and to be treated normally and never support anything like this. when these extreme ideas are making headlines it'll obviously cause people to assume this is the agenda of the movement, and if a trans person spoke out about it would get belittled by those who "support" them.
I hated maths at school too. it was my kryptonite, which makes it ironic that I spent my entire working life in Accounts and having to reconcile 'numbers'. At least I was aware that I had to have enough maths knowledge to know if the number given by the calculator was correct or not - amazing how often you push the wrong button! I don't remember gender being a factor though.
I’m really bad at math. I cannot do it off the top of my head. And that’s because I was a military, and every school ( of which there were several ) I went to was on a different sections/theories, and none of the teachers wanted to stop to help me because I was considered too behind for them.
A lot of girls transferred out of my Calculus and Physics AP classes because the teacher's examples and test questions were all sports based. Like kicked a football with angle and velocity to determine if it would clear the goal post and most of the girls didn't even know what the goal post looked like.
Can't they just...Google it?
So 2 + 2 can equal 5? Yeah, right. Try telling that to the graders of my Math Achievement Tests back in 1984.
I can't tell the difference between the Babylon Bee and actual news. Those articles sound exactly like something the BB would write, but they are from actual news stations. Our world is going crazy!
My faith in humanity is already as low as my self-esteem but this takes it even lower
then watch the good side of the humanity and let those people alone and maybe it will help a bit with you're self-esteem idk I'm just sayin'
@@luchat4917 bro, no amount of videos of people giving to the homeless and saving puppies will save us from the utter stupidity that is social media
@@starshine9662 not with that attitude. social media isn't the problem. and yes, the best way to deal with these idiots is to ignore them. they hate that.
@@alexsclewis if you dont thing social media is a huge problem we have, you aren't paying attention
The end is near thank you all for being here to share this experience
If so I love you all for those with hate and spreading hate may you change soon enough may the hate in my own heart fall off and lets enjoy the good times in the last moments
"little nuggets" 😂😂
4:05 this reads like a line from George Orwell's 1984
Let's see what happens when they multiply 225x2.
Compared to other countries, America is rather young. I wonder if other countries dealt with this kind of stuff in their early years before they finally moved past it? Or maybe we're just increasingly heading toward the end times.
Either way, you're spot on with what you said in this video.
Just gotta say that that's Karlyn Borensinko in that Fox News clip. She is not arguing that math is racist; she was there talking about how ridiculous it is the thinking of the people who would argue that it is. Karlyn did a lot of work on exposing CRT and the likes of it
Glad someone else caught that the clip was actually Dr. Karlyn Borysenko criticizing wokeness, The Comments Section isn't the only show to have seen that clip and gotten the context incorrect. Brett, please check with your team, the good doc does good work.
The intersection of math and exuality is a Venn diagram with two circles not even touching each other.
Math is the most beautiful subject. i used to hate math when i was child but fell in love with it now🤭
My testimony: After being an atheist for 8+ years, and "married" to another female, I got the urge one day to say out loud "IF there is an Almighty God that does NOT wish us pain or sorrow, please bring me truth, I wish to know you exist". Then God immediately started bringing me the answers I had been searching 8-11 YEARS for! I witnessed Him take control of my internet and the rest of my reality; He first proved to me that demons exist (I called them "inter-dimensional beings"), then He proved His own existence, which I later found to be Jesus Christ. As soon as I found Jesus at the end of 2020, He IMMEDIATELY took away my transgenderism, bisexuality, depression, daily suicide attempts, self harm, bulimia and anorexia; and He did this all without me asking Him to, because THAT'S how merciful and loving He is! Praise God! Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ while you have a chance. The Euphrates River has dried, which is Biblical prophecy. God bless you in Jesus' mighty name❤
LOL reported…bot
@@iB_pOpN This person has a channel with videos that go back 12 years. You can not like what she has to say, but she's not a bot.
They are spamming a comment section with useless drivel that has nothing to do with the current video.
@@nicwelch This video is talking about the Satanic ideology of LGBT and its effects on our culture, and this person is talking about their testimony for being lead out of LGBT.
@@jupiterrising887 click on their face and look at comments on this channel. It’s the same thing like 19 times lol
your grasp on any sort of subject you take all depends on how much a teacher cares. my 8th grade math teacher didn't care at all about explaining how to solve each problem, then it got worse and worse over the years to the point of dropping out and getting my GHD.
What’s really annoying is i am very good at mental arithmetic and even I said 225. I’m such an idiot. That’s pissed me off! 😂
I can do basic math, but, anything more advanced is mind numbing to me. 🤣
I envy people like in the movie hidden figures who work at nasa and can do equations to know where the astronaut will land.
as an engineer, i'm crying like a lot
I call it job security
"How do we make math more focused on the narcissists who want and aren't getting attention while math is being taught."
Bingo.
Seeing how all these ideologies are shoved everywhere, even in places they don't belong, is both sad and irritating.
I'm glad I didn't have to attend school or college when this absurdity began to take over.
I was also homeschooled and I also did Saxon Maths 😂😂 I feel your pain. Calculus was also a gatekeeper for me....not because I'm a woman but because it's hard 😂
As an Asian I find people failing these sub 1 sec calculations very amusing.
In my experience, a lot of math teachers have spent time growing up with the "geeks and freaks" in their closest friend group so don't really even bat an eye about blue hair or piercings or trans stuff. They just teach the content.
My personal experience is that all the math teachers at my school are just average midwestern people. Could be that I’m from the Midwest but I’m from a Midwest city
ME 😂. Like, I AM weird, I like other weirdos. My favorite students are the geeks/nerds/misfits/etc. I seriously, as a teacher, prefer to know as little about their sex life as possible though 🤦♀️. That is, in my opinion, NOT my job 😂.
This reminds me of something I saw the other day that was like “Wait so you’re telling me that 19 + 3 doesn’t equal 21” and the whole comment section was shocked too.
