Nice that’s the kind of thing I’m looking for.
Learning math comes in basically two components: lecture and practice.
During the lecture phase, you’ll need to set some time aside so that you can absorb the information. In the past, I’ve had good experiences with Khan Academy. They break concepts up into small enough pieces that are probably 5-10 minute segments.
After you’ve learned how to solve a problem, you need to practice to keep that knowledge alive. I’d suggest making a ritual that only takes a few minutes. For example: before logging off your computer, you’ll solve five problems of the type you’re learning. Once you get very comfortable and those problems no longer pose a challenge then you’re probably ready to move on to the next concept.
Repetition really is the key here. You could think of it like building a muscle. You don’t get stronger by lifting 100kg one time, you get stronger by lifting 1kg one hundred times. Math is the same way, and cramming for several hours a few times yields poorer results than steadily practising your skills. The best part is that if you do have a busy schedule, you only need to carve out ten or fifteen minutes a day to slowly improve.
Math is a very broad term. What level of math do you want to learn?
I last left off at calculus 1, I want to learn enough useful day to day algebra and geometry/trig, but also matrix math for game development.
Khan academy does have all of those. Matrix math is taught in the course called “linear algebra”.
I figured I’d take the opportunity to ask if there are ways to improve basic math skills. I feel like a a kid I never really grasped those until high school and later and so as a result I hated math except for when it came up naturally in my life for fun (when I understood what was happening with every variable) Feels a little embarassing to ask about haha, I feel like I should be asking a more specific question but just…idk where to start or what my real issues are.
Learn at your own pace and free!
What type of math?
First: determine how much time you are able (and willing!) to invest, be realistic about it. Second: see if https://www.khanacademy.org/ provides the math level you have in mind and proceed at a steady weekly pace.
The art of problem solving is pretty damn good
Don’t post stupid fucking questions on the Internet for starters.
There are no stupid fucking questions just stupid fucking answers :)
You’re in the wrong fucking community, moron
Not the moron here.
