      Take 3blue1brown’s essence of Linear Algebra series. I never understood the determinant was about space (1d, 2d, 3d, etc) in my linear algebra class until 3B1B illuminated that. I feel like we got a little bit on vectors, then the matrices just popped up as a separate thing.

      Good job. I also did that in high school using the HBJ book that I borrowed from the library. Now, My son is doing the same with my guidance. He is also learning Calculus on his own, but he is using the MIT material (Someone told me that Leonard is better) and the 20 Minutes Cal book (easiest book I can find for kids). He watches 30 minutes of lecture daily and does 10 problems before I let him play his Minecraft game. He will start doing the MIT Cal homework after watching both the video lectures and going through the "20 Minutes" book.

      No it’s quite easy tbh well sure you need to be quite good at algebra and know most trig identities but then integration is very simple. Then derivatives follow normal rules so they’re no problem. So if you want a calc 2 level it should take you like 4 weeks when you do power series too

    Hey, I noticed that you always show the 5th edition by Stewart and I was wondering what your opinions were on the 8th edition.
    I was always a huge Physics nerd but while majoring in Engineering in college I had to, of course, take Calculus with Stewart's textbook and I absolutely fell in love with this subject more than any other, I wasn't aware of how elegant and just how incredibly useful this mathematical branch was. I fell in love with Physics originally because of how deeply ingrained with the physical world around us it is. But Calculus takes that so much further and applies to literally everything that's continuous in our reality - from a business minimizing amount of material used all the way to finding the direction of electric potential from integrating an electric field. I just found it to be life changing, honestly, haha.

    Thank you so much for these videos! I am your new UA-cam channel subscriber! Just found out your channel through recommendation when i was searching some math videos on UA-cam! I myself is also teaching my self some math, although I have yet reached the point to start on calculus course. But it is good to know what I will need to do after I start learning them. I am currently in the middle of learning basic trigonometry(maybe high school to college level?), after I am done with those im gonna review my notes and do some integrated courses on Khan academy( which is where i learn math from), then I will be also teaching myself some high school statistic and probability, cuz i feel like its gonna be useful somewhere. After all these, I will do one more course, precalculus before I dive into the calculus. From there I will probably change abit of my study style, and try something new to countermeasure the difficult lessons i will be learning. Since what i have done so far is just to build my math foundation, I want to have to steady base before I build more on it. Your videos are really informative, so I will be staying around here and see what can help me!

      You usually learn Taylor Series to get familiar with the general concept, and in principle, that could work for what calculators do behind the scenes to find each trig ratio. But they aren't very computationally efficient. Usually it's the CORDIC algorithm that calculators use in practice.

And for all editions they've ever made, I think. The Stewart does have a Student Solutions Guide with the worked out details, but can be hard to get. Unfortunately, the learner cannot buy the Instructor Solutions Guides from publishers.

    I am from a non-math background, so my experience has been little different. I think having and doing pre-requisites helps. So, when started learning I went this path:
    Pre-Algebra > Algebra > Pre-Calculus > Calculus 1 > Calculus 2 (current level) > Calculus 3 or Differential Equations (planned) > Linear Algebra (planned) > Statistics (planned). Yes I took course on online platform and in addition to it free lectures on youtube, but practiced a lot. It is a very slow process, it took me 1.5 years since the beginning but I want to really understand rather than just skip ahead. Most books are available for free to download like openstax and understanding gets better only through practice and problem solving. Everyone is different and one should do what suits one. Thanks.

      @@karannalawat4826 Well, For Algebra I used Blitzer book, which is available online. For Calculus 1 I used Stewart and for Calculus 2 also Stewart, available online, although need some searching. I prefer online videos like Khan Academy for Algebra but for Calculus I used 2 different online sources- MIT Opencourseware and Khan academy. MIT's Calc 1 course is based upon Stewart's book. However, I would say this my method is a slow method not at all suitable for grad students who have time constraints. One advice I will give you, it is important to combine the lecture with theory in the book. E.g., if you are studying Limits from a teacher online, immediately study the theory and example from the book and complete the chapter's theory part. Then move to exercises which is the backbone of math problem solving. MIT open courseware has assignments and exams on their website that provide challenging questions to practice as well. Good luck.

    I think the more algebra someone learns, the more calculus is going to open up. I also people think should watch calculus videos even if they understand 0 percent of it. It might be discouraging to watch something you don't understand or try to work through problems you can't understand. But when it become discouraging, go watch the math and do the math you do understand. Then return to the math book/videos you don't understand. When I start to self study math, I realized I knew more math than I thought. I don't say that to make myself seem better. I also suggest if you are in math classes in college, taking non degree or audit math classes for math classes you don't have yet. I mean suppose you are in bs education with specialization in math degree program. You're have Calculus 1,2, and 3, Take non degree or audit a Calculus 2 class before its required in your bs degree program.. Yeah, I think I'll skip around in the Steward Calculus book and skip to the limits. Limits seem kind of easy. Very basic functions are easy. Here's one from Calculus by Steward: f(x)=6--4x. or this one: f(x)=x+2 over x squared --1. Very easy and basic stuff.

    I used the Larson book. It's great, but I think when you get onto vector calculus at the end of the book, the explanations of things like div/curl are a bit too sparse. There are some very good videos on YT explaining these concepts well though (3blue1Brown for example did a great explainer).
    I would say that learning exclusively from videos is a bad idea. The concepts won't sink in without doing a lot of exercises. But rather than getting a Larson or Stewart book, you could use the workbooks from Chris McMullen or the big Shaum's Outline which has tons of fully worked problems in addition to exercises for you to do.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 10 місяців тому

      If you are familiar with the ways you can multiply vectors, those first three terms you mentioned are really just extensions of the same idea, with a vector of derivative operators (the DEL operator) taking the place of the one vector. Have it act on a scalar function, that generates the gradient. Divergence is like a dot product of a vector field with the del operator, and curl is like a cross product with the del operator. The Laplacian is a combination of two of these, the divergence of the gradient.
      As for tensors, I like to think of them as super-vectors, where there is more than just a list of numbers to identify the algebraic object. Usually, a tensor will be a square matrix, in the applications I'm familiar with, which keeps track of how the quantity in question is an interaction of multiple spatial dimensions, and each component is uniquely determined by corresponding to each two out of three of the spatial dimensions (e.g. xx, xy, yy, xz, yz, and zz). Applications I'm familiar with, are the stress/strain tensor from statics and the inertia tensor from dynamics. Tensors can also go beyond this, and be a cube matrix, or even a matrix of matrices.

    • @deltapi8859
      @deltapi8859 10 місяців тому

      ​@@carultch wow, thx for the extensive answer :-) Yeah I encountered the Inertia Tensor and didn't really get why it is a "tensor" or what actually makes it a tensor. "identify the algebraic object", "keeps track of how the quantity in question is an interaction of multiple spatial dimensions", I'll keep your description in mind when looking over the topic!
      "each component is uniquely determined by corresponding to each two out of three of the spatial dimensions (e.g. xx, xy, yy, xz, yz, and zz)" so basically the tensor is constructed in a way that gives you a "response" for how it interacts for example with vectors or generally objects and their special dimensions?

    Just a hypothetical question...
    Would it be possible to finish Calculus by James Stewart in 4 months?

      I don't think that would be beneficial
      You need to slow down if what you're doing is self study
      So that you won't be overwhelmed and burnt out
      And that is the worst thing that might happen for a learner

    I suggest my students that use videos to pause the video and solve the problem then play the video to check their solution.

    Have you had a look at calculus for dummies? Whats your opinion on that?

    I think the best way is to start from real analysis

      That's... unconventional. I took calcuus in high school from a teacher who loved pure mathematics and took a very theoretical approach (heavy on rigorous definitions and theorems and proofs). It was great preparation for going on to become a math major, but I don't think it's the best way to teach or learn Calculus for most people.

    • @davidhamelehh
      @davidhamelehh 10 місяців тому

      Yep. I Did that aswell. But I think that taking a proof writing class and pre calc before is a must. Or.. you just want to struggle a lot.

    Book combined with video courses is really a nice way for someone who doesn't have any other options. But the real difference is being able to ask a student and/or lecturer stupid questions. Not those where they respond with "nice question" .. no, no, those where everyone looks at you like "How can he ask such a question? Is he stupid?" (so you might already have gotten this answer from StackOverflow, so you don't even need to go outside of your comfort zone for this line of questioning, lulz). Ah yeah, also try to tackle the things you are not comfortable with in a productive and effective way :-) Wish you all the luck, my beloved fellow math sufferers and you too Prof. Math Sorcerer ;-)

    really? really? Years of practicing different maths but it seems just with 2 books makes the difference... yeah... perhaps if I let my hair grow it will simplify the whole calculus theory... This is great, by the 2 books, study these and you will be able to pass all exams in college! Yeah

    Why the math sorcerer always talks about calculus and algebra but never on Statistics & probabilities and PDE/ODE??

    I agree with everything you have said. However, I feel you have left out one "newly" important idea. That is utilizing ChatGPT. If you get stuck in the book, ask ChatGPT or have it recommend a video on the concept to get across the idea. I would use Google, but it would take a long time to find exactly what you are looking for especially if you do not recognize it. ChatGPT has its draw backs, but utilized correctly, it can help you quickly to overcome your hurdle. My two cents...

      Yes! ChatGPT might be useless at *doing* math, but it's great at explaining mathematical concepts. I like to use it as a kind of tutor to bounce my understanding off of, too.
