    Love these small channels, they give real advice instead of the general sugarcoated shit

      It’s a big channel with a little bit of subscribers! Actually, I just started this channel a few weeks ago. I used to have a channel with 20 million views and around 80,000 followers, but I deleted it to start everything from scratch with up-to-date and modern technology. The other videos I made 10-15 years ago were such low resolution. You could only see them on a, smart phone clearly. Thanks for being a fan!

    I love that you give some real advice even if its not sugarcoated BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. I have a little bit of summer break left and your videos have given me the wake up call that I need to grow up a lot in terms of how I approach college and these courses(especially as they get more challenging). "Oh I don't really wanna do physics rn" well what am I going to be doing for the next 40 years from 9-5.

    • @authorjond
      @authorjond  2 місяці тому +4

      Getting a math degree is said to be the hardest degree to get. You’re not only learning the most complicated language on the planet, but you’re learning it at a rate that is not natural. It took me a long time to finish my bachelors of science and math. You’re exercising your brain like a professional athlete. It’s normal not to be energetic at all times with it. For me, motivation, and passion or key. Some courses I just didn’t love and some courses I did love. Just hang in there and you’ll get through it before you know it

    Hello, great video, I find this to be always good advice to give to tutees. I'm wondering if you have any physics specific advice for upper division and grad level courses at all. They generally have much harder math, and the textbooks tend to be less fluffy (take Griffiths or Jackson for example)

    • @authorjond
      @authorjond  2 місяці тому

      I’m in the process of making a crash course for the Griffith electromagnetism book and the other ones related for quantum mechanics and so forth. When I was a double major in physics and math those courses, because of the math, made me become a math major so that I can understand all the mathematics behind it. Ultimately: I wish I had just stayed in the physics degree because once I understood all the math I realized I didn’t need to understand the math to do the physics.
      So the best advice I can give to you is to just memorize how to solve those problems that arise in the physics and do not get caught up on the foundation of the mathematical background needed to fully understand why the equations work way they do. Just learn how to solve them and move on. I wasted 10 years mastering math just because I couldn’t allow myself to apply without knowing everything about it. Math is just a language. There’s nothing profound about the math. Physics is profound.
