Are you seriously doing "labor" instead of thinking in new perspectives with Mathematics?!

You were doing so good...now this is utterly wasteful. Learn NEW Math, STOP LARPing A CALCULATOR TO DO "CALCULATIONS".

THE ANSWER IS MEANINGLESS IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE FUNDEMENTALS.

THATS THE POINT OF HOBBY ADULT LEARNING......what the fuck, dude.....

I am learning the fundamentals you doofus. I'm just practicing what I learned. Just because your idea of new math doesn't include dividing negative fractions doesn't mean it isn't new to me. Anyway tomorrow I'm starting geometry

>8÷2=4
It says 8 ÷ (-4) = -4
Dividing by a negative number was a new concept to me so that's why I wrote it down.

Youre doing good. Being ablento quickly and accurately perform calculations will help you acquire an intuition for math.

It still stands. Im...negative-always, so Im never in a good.

Adult learning is not waste time with shit so easy you dont have think. Autopilot, and "running numbers" becomes just that.

Hard enough it labors you but so easy the mind never enters the fight.

Fair enough, I didnt see the negative signs, that does change it some, but the values are so as to not be working your mind, its working your body (labor, autopilot).

Its called practice by repetition

Yeah well initially learning the concept worked my mind and then I want to solidify it and memorize it by doing "labor" aka practice.

Yes, I know, I was too harsh, its judt all of my 40 year old adult friends always do shit the easy way and ended up complete losers as adults.

I...just really dont want that to happen to you is all. To challenge youself more, maturity makes certain things hard...like learning or changing.

One day the door closes and it never opens again.

I've learned several things this way like programming and also speaking fluent Japanese. The way I see learning things is that everything is a stepwise process. If you start at the beginning and work in incremental steps then your mind runs at a steady pace and understands things naturally. If you try to jump ahead to challenge yourself too much it might satisfy your ego in thinking you're taking on some esoteric challenge but really I think its difficult to actually integrate what you learned and remember it.

'no judging' but these things like average math student won't even think about it , probably because of muscle memory or some shit, So based on my experience u should use this method works all the time "not only math":
1- try to understand just a basic idea about the subject or course
2- watch how to use/solve as many times as you want
3- replicate and replicate try to change values for example like play with it reverse the equations
this process only takes around 3h-4h a day in a month trust will advance quickly because most of the time math is all about steps and steps "well sometimes u have to be creative"
good luck !
