🧵 Learning math from scratch
Anonymous at Wed, 11 Sep 2024 10:11:57 UTC No. 16373964
I had some previous threads asking how to start math from scratch . Turns out i will be using khan academy and maybe but maybe read some pirated e books, is there a roadmap , for example arithmetic, algebra,calculus etc
my goal is to learn math until people graduate , im 19 and want to self learn using khan academy because i never payed much attention when i was in school

You should also learn some basic logic

maybe instead of making 3 + 1 = 4 threads you should just do it you fucking retard

MIT OCW. Watch it over and over, write notes, read the notes, rewrite the notes while copying, and go to community college or the local uni to visit professors (most are responsive to emails) to get additional clarification. You can also audit their classes and follow their standard curriculum, most unis have the math major's class requirements up
If you never paid attention in school, read Algebra 1, 2 and Geometry textbook again. Skim it over, solve a few problems for every chapter, perplexity.ai works okay for fetching resources for problems you can't crack, use Chegg if you really need it.

This was sound advice for starting from scratch: >>16371865.
Otherwise, you seem to be getting bait advice like JP Serre's A Course in Arithmetic (it's a grad-level book) or shit that starts at middle school or high school instead of from scratch.

already mentioned this on one of your other threads but here’s it again (but revised cos i didnt like my wording the first time round) —-
have you thought about GCSE math textbooks, alongside GCSE math papers? GCSE is just a qualification taught to 13 year olds in England (and they complete it at 16 yrs old). The GCSE math course starts with multiplication, division etc. (so what you want, hopefully). I’ll include a link that specifies everything taught at GCSE maths, and you can go through it to see if it’s suited for you, link (relevant information starts on page 12 and ends on page 20, but you can read the whole thing): https://qualifications.pearson.com/
Then you can accompany GCSE math textbooks with GCSE practice exam papers (past papers are provided by examboards, the best being 'edexcel') and GCSE math revision videos.
Regarding GCSE maths YouTube videos, TLMaths is a YouTube channel that teaches GCSE (and a-level) maths. He’s covered the entirety of alevel maths, he’s now covering gcse maths. here’s a playlist from him to give an idea:

Get back to me if you want me to go into more depth. Learning math at this level imo is the hardest - but because it’s taught universally to nearly everyone, it’s easiest to find resources for. And idk why this hasn’t been mentioned, it’s pretty obvious but 4chan likes to skip over the obvious.
4chan isn’t the best place to ask for advice btw - especially with mathematics and learning. Try more specific forums.

If anyone is telling you it's impossible, it's not, but just do it man. It took me a few months on KA to refresh up to the Algebra 2/Trig level and about a month to really have that down then about a month for the equivalent of college calc 1 (their derivative calc and the first unit of integral calc up until u-sub as I recall). This would probably be your path also. If you have more time because of the way colleges start, you can probably go a lot further than I ever did. I would recommend Linear Algebra and finding a free discrete math resource and jumping to those after Calc 1 is done for a bit of a mental break. They are pretty trivial and only really need you to understand the very basics of Calculus. For example, I recall a kid who barely passed Calc 1 with me who I used to tutor while in the class (I did not get any questions wrong that semesters) took LA the next semester and got an A+.

Not about math directly but it should help with learning in general especially Anki which is kinda like the better version of note taking

You should start with first order predicate logic and then move to set theory.
Stay well clear of numbers, vectors, functions etc. We know from centuries of experience that learning arithmetic first is a bad strategy (proof: most people are terrible at math)

Why is this?
Also I need help finding some resources on mathematical modelling.
