Hi Math Sorcerer. I am not young and I studied Calculus for a first degree decades ago. I have never stopped improving my debts of learning and understanding of science. You mentioned a book, “Calculus for the Practical Man”, I acquired a digital copy of the book which I carry on my phone. I have to say that this book has deepened my understanding of fundamental Calculus concepts. Thank you.
@ Its been a lot of work but i took 18 credits this semester with precalc 1 and 2 accelerated to catch up. This semester will be 15 so hopefully not as bad.
I also studied math 22 years ago, and while watching utube shorts and other math content, when I am feeling wiped out cause of being disabled by spine hernia and feeling not successful and useful due to this fact, math makes me joyful peaceful - comforts me, especially when someone so kind and humane like you explains it... And my dream has always been to become a self tought programmer too... I just can't afford the courses just yet...only the free content out there on the internet... That is why, I would like to say special thank you for explaining every single less complicated rule and formula that leads to the full understanding of the whole complex mathematical deceision, because brushing up on things allows us to remember all of the rules and build on our full understanding starting with the simplest tasks and grow to be skillful with the more complicated tasks and not loose motivation by loosing a thread of understanding the simplicity of the complexity, and - not to give up, explaining complicated things the easiest way possible, making hard things easy is a gift🌿🙏🏻 thank you so much for being you and for your time! 🙏🏻🌿🎆💯🐒🐈✨
MS.... I'm taking your college algebra on udemy...I love it...I actually understand because of your expertise and was of teaching.... And you didn't leave out the intermediate steps.... TY. You should really write a math book... Maybe for layperson's... Just like the way you teach. It would be so successful and with a million subs.... Well you can do the math on that one👍✌️
I recently turned to and in January. I’m going back to university here in Canada to complete my Computer Science Degree. My Career was a Software Developer but I never finished due many responsibilities.so now it’s time to do it. Also I feel it a lot more interesting and challenging.
I found a 3rd edition of Stewart Calculus last week at the Goodwill. Same book I used 20 years ago in college. Sparked an interest in me to learn math again. I really wish I had taken the time in college to enjoy math instead of just getting through the class.
My advice to Jose to study; as a retired 62 year old going to college, when studying, take short 15 minutes breaks every hour or so to refresh your mind. Good luck Jose.
@@pizzaface8140 Most students take an introductory differential equations that has a matrix theory component, so having linear algebra down before that helps.
Hello MS. Well, I first viewed this very early this a.m. it sounds like Jose and I are kindred spirits, although I bet he’s a bit younger than me. I’ve wanted to revisit Calc for a long time now ( first calc class in 1967), and would like to at least understand some Diff Eq. I have a real interest in all things Physics but I’m lacking the math to really comprehend many topics. So, after considering the cost given they were on sale, I purchased all seven courses. I think I can get through them in two years. Already started looking at Algebra and made my first error!
Abstract Algebra in order to have success you need to be comfortable with proving techniques which you learn them in Discrete Math, First part of upper division Linear Algebra and Real Analysis. Abstract Algebra is a beast, it gets harder but in my opinion if you like pure math then it’s worth learning
Time to start a new life. New knowledges and meeting new people , letting go of the poisonous past and poisonous people , only thing from past that effects out future is our failures
I'm pushing 50 and have always been fascinated with math. I'm considering dedicating this coming year to reviewing relearning and perhaps going further than my prior knowledge. I got as far as calculus2 and by some intuition and experience understand some differential equations. Do you recommend any apps or online courses that could guide me through what I've already been exposed to to shore up my math skills.
Great Vid! I need Help! To have a strong math foundation, is it feasible to go right from Algebra 1 & 2 to Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3? I finished college 10 years ago making it up to Pre-Calculus and I'm relearning math again on Khan Academy in my 30s starting with high school level Algebra 1 & 2 moving up to Trig, Pre-Calc, and then college level Calculus, but I am skipping College Algebra. Am I hurting myself by doing this?
Yes that’s alright. In fact in many high schools in the U.S. the order is Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and then AP Calculus AB or BC (Calculus 1 or Calculus 1 and 2)
I’m working through the book you recommended “ intermediate algebra “ by miller o’Neal and Hyde right now. I feel like I’m making a lot of progress towards rebuilding my math foundation … do you think it will be ok to move into trigonometry after completing this book? Then pre- calculus?
I’m not sure what precalculus book you are planning to use, but the most popular books such as Stewart’s Book cover all of the trigonometry one would learn from a trig book. Starting with precalculus or trigonometry right after your intermediate algebra book is good.
So I graduated with a math degree and I plan on going to grad school for math but before I begin I wanted to make UA-cam videos on problems/concepts that gave me such a difficult time in different math classes, what’s something you can advise I do in order to have a good quality video explanations?
Can I ask you a question? Why is many in this society so focused on retirement? Why is it perceived so unrealistic based on chronological age but the person run circles around people who are younger? It is not about age it is about other people not doing their own jobs.
Hi all, I am older as well and the last time I took math classes was about 10 years ago. I am going back to school for a physics engineering degree at 36 years of age and will be taking calculus 3 😮… any recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I don’t know how much math I have forgotten but I’m sure it’s a lot 😅.
Trigonometry and basic algebra is foundational if you have those down then you can just focus on the actual calculus. I would say reading definitions and theorems until you can understand how to use them is what can help you master any class. With calculus 3 it means you can do integration techniques well and understand how series work.
Don't forget Linear Algebra if you're going the Real Analysis, Computer Science and eh Economics I guess too, route. Jk. Oh this guy wants to be an engineer, nevermind, it's not necessary since it's more focused on computation mostly I believe.
There’s some heavy math in economics especially econometrics. My analysis professor was an economics major before switching to pure mathematics but he can do both.

I’m back in school for mechanical engineering at 45. First semester down
I've engineering at college at 37 this year. Way to go 🦾🦾🦾
Wow congrats, hope all is well. How are you finding it?

Just ordered the Thomas calculus for my calc one course coming up. That’s our textbook
Don't forget about doing Linear Algebra after Multi-Variable Calculus then Differential Equations.
In my opinion ODE and Linear Algebra for lower division should be taken at the same time.
@@pizzaface8140 Most students take an introductory differential equations that has a matrix theory component, so having linear algebra down before that helps.
You are an answer to all my prayers!!!!
I love the Thomas Calculus book. I personally find the explanations to be very good, even better than Stewart Calculus
Congrats for over a million subscribers.

this is great. ❤ this is truly so helpful. thanks bro
What about Linear Algebra and Abstract Algebra?
Linear algebra yes, but abstract algebra is too high level and far away from this progression.
Abstract Algebra in order to have success you need to be comfortable with proving techniques which you learn them in Discrete Math, First part of upper division Linear Algebra and Real Analysis. Abstract Algebra is a beast, it gets harder but in my opinion if you like pure math then it’s worth learning
You are the real OG Sorcerer! 😮
Perfect timing thank you
This video is PERFECTO as I'm starting Calculus 1 in a few weeks!
Calculus is very complex, good luck !
Yea good luck
What would be your suggestion about numerical analysis?.What book would be great?.
Thank you sir❤
this came at a perfect time right after I got a c in algebra so brush up over the winter brake

The content covered by College Algebra, Algebra 2, and Precalculus is covered all by one of the first two courses plus precalculus
@@matjul27 Thank you!
@@matjul27 Gotcha, thanks a lot for helping me!
I want to study plane and analytic geometry, what book would you recommend that is best for self study, thank you ❤

How much time should be spent working on the problems at the end of each chapter?

I am good Math sorcerer. This year alone I made progress and learned by failing. I see you baiting me everyday.
Get books by Robert Blitzer & Karl J Smith. Do the math in them. Those books are easy to understand & easy.
