    Your candid approach to mathematics has helped me learn better in my courses! Before I was almost scared to learn new concepts, and so struggled to actually absorb and understand them, but your videos, especially the ones on your mistakes have really helped me shed that fear, and now I've really begun to enjoy undergrad mathematics like I did in HS! Thanks a ton!

    Having a strong grasp of definitions throughout mathematics seems half the battle sometimes. Some of those proofs look brutal. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing. 👍

    This was stuff I did as a first-year Biostat PhD student, and I got hot flashes seeing this material. But you explain it so well, it makes me question my professor, so thank you lol

    Taking my first graduate level course right now on manifolds & differential forms. Takes a while to get the definitions down and some of the proofs feel inaccessible but it's getting there!

    I love pure mathematics, but was scared away from its rigors when I was an undergrad. I still ended my degree with a double major in Physics and Applied Mathematics, but I always find myself wishing I had stuck with the pure mathematics degree instead of applied. I was hoping you could give some advice for those of us who are wanting to go back to tackle our "pure math" anxieties.
    I remember the moment I decided to swap over to applied math. I was sitting in my Analysis class and we were going over some definitions from baby Rudin. As I was watching the professor up at the board scrawling down these definitions I became overwhelmed with the feeling that I couldn't do another one of these courses in analysis. I had BARELY passed my intro analysis class. I struggled pretty hard to get a B, but I felt like I didn't even deserve that because by the time I ended the course I was so dazed from it that almost everything I learned just leaked out of my head. From that point on I became one of those who started to fear the pure mathematics side of things a bit. I'm wishing to overcome this. What gets you through any times where you feel really stuck in your studies?

      Breaks are important, due something simple that eases you. I like to walk and listen to music. It sounds simple but it needs to be done. If you still find yourself stuck, always ask your instructor for help. I am constantly bugging home for hints lol

      It’s more important to take notes once you start learning definitions, and important theorems that you’ll use to prove stuff. Still useful to have some material in your own words that you can reference for those calc classes tho.

    I loved math but could not grasp proofs for the life of me. I failed my intro to proofs class which was a necessary class to declare my major, but i failed 2x so i never got far. The headaches didnt seem worth it anymore but it is incredible to see how it all turns out for people who stick to it and work super hard to understand. Kudos and to and wishing you luck on your journey! I am seeing another side of what could've been true of my life through you :)

      Your past was decided, and what if Allah intends to harm you, then there is nobody that can help you, and if He intends to help you, there is nobody to harm you.
      So do do not think of past in a manner that you use if.
      This is a tactic/strategy used by Shaytan/Iblis/Satan to distract you from way of Allah

    May be a stupid question but why you have to know all these proofs? It would help you to write your own proofs/give you some ideas for problem solving? In Analysis or lineal algebra I like proofs cuz I like to understand where things came from, but why you still need all this in a Ph.D level? . :)

    • @mathlegendno12
      @mathlegendno12 Рік тому +3

      I don't do uni level math but i do do olympiad math which is kinda related. The proofs often give smart ideas on how to prove other things, and by memorising the proof you can also understand the theorem on a deeper level

    • @dd-uf9nw
      @dd-uf9nw Рік тому +1

      If he believes something is true he has to write proof using existing definitions and theorems. You won't understand differentiation if you don't understand limits. To build up a new concept you have to know previous concepts too and hope if someone doesn't come up with counter examples.

    Thank you for making these videos. I am a software engg. I worked through Analysis from Abbott's 'Understanding Analysis'. Out of curiosity, what's the measure and probability book on your desk? I have begun working through undergrad measure by Capinski.

    • @justinyeh5150
      @justinyeh5150 Рік тому

      I didn’t see any measure and probability book on his desk but I think you may be asking about measure and integral by wheeden and zygmund. It’s a real analysis and measure theory book. If you are interested in measure theoretic probability you could check out “a first look at rigorous probability” by rosenthal, knowing the odds by John b Walsh or PTE by rick durrett
