      But the Math wasn't difficult actually.. at least to understand what is she doing. Sure making it yourself is difficult, there is no doubt.
      I liked it as well but I am a bit disappointed she did a part.

    Maths is a wonderful subject!
    The key to learning maths is mastering the basics before you move on higher up.
    Most folk get intimated by maths simply because they don't master foundation topics which more advance levels rely on.
    Vicky Neale has a very charismatic way of talking about maths.

    Hey Vicky. I'm pretty good with logic (research design etc), but sadly didn't pursue advanced maths at school. I've seen some of your public lectures (e.g. LMS) and your joyful energy is infectious. I get my maths from public lectures, "In Our Time" and a couple of Open University maths courses I did. But if I had half your energy and enthusiasm, I'd be a happy man. I think of pure maths as equivalent to a language. Keep making vids. 👍🏻

Currently in year 2 of Maths and Further Maths A level and have the MAT in a month, and I actually have to put effort into the MAT and certain parts of Further, especially the MAT which I am legitimately anxious about.

    I am afraid to say that, at 11:27, 1 = b (3a^2-2b^2), but when b = -1, a is not equal to 1 or -1, a is not an integer.

    • @CazoDK
      @CazoDK 5 років тому

      I think we're ignoring the case of b = - 1, since that wouldn't make a an integer. Then in the case of b = 1, a = + - 1, and still proves that (3, 5) and (3, -5) are the only pairs of integer solutions. I don't know, perhaps I'm wrong?

      Your still young and you don't have to worry about that all yet. When your 13 you start to discover who you are and what you like. So when the time comes, you will eventually decide on your own. No need to be stressed, you still have a lot of years ahead of you 😃 But it's always good to think about your future early but not be stressed about it
