alright uhhhmm new game new rules

[mystic storm]

so, just having 4 books and 4000 pages to read about to finish high school maths... isn't really working out for me. so instead I wanna learn topic by topics instead. basically, you people would come here and tell me topics to read or know about then I research and go indepth with them. and I uh explain it and the pros and cons and you ask me questions and I give answers. Like an intern or freelancer of some sort of. My goal is to complete high school maths before may 31st or I'm cooked and all of this really isn't gonne be much of use.

[fringe jay]

you're gonna get cooked trust me

[mystic storm]

I already am

[fringe jay]

packing all of that shit is for like the elites of the elites

[mystic storm]

I lost 1 whole month of summer holidays

[fringe jay]

💀

[mystic storm]

in absolute nothingness

[fringe jay]

bro dawg

theres this one course at harvard

math 55

all of undergraduate math in 2 sems

[mystic storm]

it's fun as long as u know what the symbols mean and lead to

[fringe jay]

so its 1:
packed with imo students
2: over 2 semesters and not even 1 month

[mystic storm]

I like learning things deep

[fringe jay]

yeah you're not gonna learn deep with this

[mystic storm]

but anyways

[fringe jay]

this is for your mental health and learning bro

dont do this shit

[marble stirrup]

You're just impatient. Reading the books is the way you learn. Plus you can't expect people to teach you the stuff that youre willing to learn when you want to learn it. Closing this thread is probably a good idea

[mystic storm]

hey I've spent like 15 hours a day for 6 days while working on some bullshit theory

it's not like this will get it worse

[fringe jay]

when do you fucking eat

[mystic storm]

well I don't wanna read books they make me doze off

[fringe jay]

how long do you sleep bro

[marble stirrup]

I genuinely thought you were willing to learn. But you're not

[mystic storm]

I am but I can't read when I feel like sleeping everytime

[marble stirrup]

Get over it. learning isn't easy it's not supposed to be

[mystic storm]

Yea but

I won't doze off learning specific topics

[marble stirrup]

You're not good enough to learn specific stuff. You need to understand baby maths for now

Impatient

And what is this name "new game rules". Who do you think you are??

[hidden thunder]

havwe you done Calc 1 ?

[marble stirrup]

He's 14.

[hidden thunder]

so yes ? or no ?

[mystic storm]

well yea but I could uh probably start off with topics in baby maths then move on

I can try my best without getting bored even for advanced maths tho

[hidden thunder]

@mystic storm have you learned calc 1 if not id recommend that calc 1 is always a fun place to start if you have decent algebra

[mystic storm]

no I haven't, and I have a very bad algebra

I have nothing than my thinking

[hidden thunder]

How bad of algebra are we speaking of here ?

like took the classes but werent paying attention. Or you just forget rules here and there

[mystic storm]

bad enough to not understand ax - bx = 1
cy - dy = 2
immediately and have to learn the rule first

[mystic storm]

didn't really take the classes at all

[marble stirrup]

You've had highly competent people tell you what to do (and I mean PhD, lecturers like Al and pear) and yet you dont want to listen. I don't think you understand the gap between you. Humble yourself. Listen to what they say. You are very lucky these people are there, and whatever you say, they are right.

[mystic storm]

in 8th grade they thought some polynomials but that's not really that high

[mystic storm]

yes but

[hidden thunder]

wait what country and grade are you in ?

[fringe jay]

yeah no bro. like absolutely the fuck not.

[mystic storm]

India, and I reached 9th grade this March.

[fringe jay]

you're gonna die trying.

at the very least use your skills and passion to prep for jee, maybe you get high marks there

[mystic storm]

yea but instead of learning the books if I study the individual concepts in those books I might be able to get further

[mystic storm]

I definitely am gonna fail a competitive exam like that

I'm not exceptionally intelligent

I really only have how deep can I think on topics I like.

other than that I'm nothing

[fringe jay]

bro passion

[hidden thunder]

While stuyding individual concepts isnt a bad idea. You would only do that if are very advanced and looking for theorems to see if what you previsouly thought was right

not something you would do

you need to focus on the whole book as you need the whole book

[slow bolt]

How can you expect to learn if you don’t want to read ? There is no way to learn without reading

[hidden thunder]

i mean you can learn through only practice problems and a teacher teaching you so no reading would be required but that just seems like a terrible way to learn

[mystic storm]

I can read

but only on my own

a book seems like someone instructing me what to do

[slow bolt]

doing problems without going through the material seems very inefficient, it’s like you are adding unnecessary difficulty

[hidden thunder]

Yup I totally agree wouldnt really work unless its over a specific and small topic but it might work even if inefficent

[velvet lance]

@mystic storm, I'll teach you the dark side

it's called: Khan Academy

[mystic storm]

are you sure it will help me?

and it's not just like any other course or YouTube channel.

[woven mesa]

It's fine

Even if your math sucks and your results suffer

And the courses you can take resultingly decreases

There's still ways to move forward

[mystic storm]

uhm can you people do this? " Name a topic each or a few at a time here and just mind your business go somewhere else if u wish. then I do my research on that and type it in here with explaining how or why and logics with the concept.
you aren't responsible for focusing on what I replied. but whenever you come here to dump your concepts per day or so, you can choose to reply on my replies to someone else and say if I'm correct or wrong or question something.
Like that no one will lose their valuable time in tutoring me. and I would still be able to do things in the way I asked "

Like this the end goal is to know high school maths by end of may 31st but it isn't limited to it, the bigger picture should contain it but It can be advanced too

[mystic storm]

and by what topics or concepts u name here, it isn't limited to high school. the bigger picture just should contain all of high school maths, but we could go overboard too

but please don't type a lot, just a few or one concept at a time

[novel void]

What’s your current level of maths

Do a mock exam of your current years math paper or something first

The great pyramids of Giza weren’t built from the top down

[velvet lance]

Khan Academy might not dive into every little detail, but the videos are super quick and easy to understand, making it a quicker option to grasp concepts. If you're looking to get through entire topics efficiently, the Khan Academy videos are a great choice, especially because you can skip around and still catch the main ideas without feeling lost.

Khan Academy is also very friendly in progression. If you already know a concept, you can just skip that lesson.

The app is also 100% free.

Another thing I would recommend is MIT OCW. There are many higher mathematics resources just for the taking.

I’m pretty sure you’ve already heard these things, but they help if you try them.

[sand zealot]

modular forms
elliptic curves

reason you should study this stuff: trust me bro

I am setting you up for one of the greatest math proofs in recent decades

[sand zealot]

shhhhh don't tell him. make him learn modular forms and elliptic curves

[mystic storm]

Ok

[cosmic gulch]

i think itsf also needs to be humbled bc hes being rude, uppity, and probably not purposefully spreading misinfo but
@mystic storm you need to give yourself like 3 months if you even eant a chance to do this. and youd be qorking like most of the day every day (breaks are absolutely important and you should take them)
but youre in 9th grade yousaid? ehy doyou need to learn high school math if youre about to?

[mystic storm]

I need to because if I fail learning it fast, I'd have to waste 4 years on it

also ty for your insight

[cosmic gulch]

thats a bad mindset. taking time at it helps you absorb an understand better. are younot required tocomplete high school?

like these people said, or insinuated, youre gonna burn yourself out doing it fast. youre notgoing to learn it in depth, and what would you do with those "extra 4 years" anyway?

its doable but... its pointless imo

[mystic storm]

I have developed an efficient way to dive into concepts

I'll tell it in brief but right now I'm explaining something

would u check it out?

#1364337781102612702 message

start from the picture

[cosmic gulch]

25 days tolearn any large array of concept is insane. trying to cram 4 years into 25 days is not goingto go good

[cosmic gulch]

I'mnot at this level of math

[mystic storm]

wdym

what's your age

[cosmic gulch]

16 almost 17, but imnot at a high level ofmath at all

[mystic storm]

that's not high level of math

I'm 13

[cosmic gulch]

I have probably a basic understanding of algebra and geometry, thats it

[mystic storm]

those Greek things are variables

and it isn't about math at all

It's an equation for the amount of happiness in the world

[cosmic gulch]

And i dont know them, i usually see those in higher level math than mine. im in the USA
typically any place outsideof the usa learns a lot more and higher level

like i said, ive only got a basic understandingof algebraand geometry, and i do not know those symbols

[mystic storm]

ah ic

[cosmic gulch]

i cannot help you eith it

16 almost 17

oh i saw youre from india, they usually have really advanced math dont they?

like youre 13, using symbols i dont even know the meaning of
i think youre more advanced than yo think and not giving yourself credit, or you know some harder concepts but ont have all the basics in qhich case you need those basics (not saying thats happening, im just guessing)

[mystic storm]

lol

nope

my new teacher in 9th grade or first year of high school just started teaching irrational numbers

we aren't that advanced as u think but we are competitive because there's a billion people and filtering is essential

and those symbols aren't really that advanced

they are greek letters

like variables, like normal alphabets x, y, z

u just assign a meaning to it and u can put it in your equation

besides

I'm not even that academically genius, I don't get that good marks

I'm just a deep thinker

[cosmic gulch]

ok

[marble stirrup]

Maybe you're right, but pear and others have been trying to explain a lot of things to him, giving very good advice, and I find it annoying that he doesn't want to apply them

I'm sorry if I seemed rude, it wasn't meant

[cosmic gulch]

He has his mind set, qe cant change it

He'll learn the hard eay

[sand zealot]

I don't think this is fair as ltsf has been very patient with this fella. You should've seen how techie dealt with this guy lol. Raging in under 2 hours

[cosmic gulch]

its not thaat deep, but his words insinuated things
ive read the entire thing

and imnot talking about techie, respectfully

[sand zealot]

Trololololololo

[sand zealot]

Ofc ofc but you should know that anyone who's serious about teaching this guy stuff is having a really hard time

[cosmic gulch]

politely,im notdumb

asi said,iread the entire thing

ik

[cosmic gulch]

.

its this guys'business atp, nothing qe saycan change hismind

[sand zealot]

Yea loll

[cosmic gulch]

so i think its best to let himbe

[marble stirrup]

I'm interested in knowing what misinformation I have spread

[earnest sinew]

You said that the earth is round instead of flat, when it is in fact locally flat (i.e. as a submanifold S^2\subseteq R^3)

[cosmic gulch]

particularly that higher level people always know better

which is absolutely not true sometimes

ive had many instances with my dad and helpers alike

[sand zealot]

I think he meant that in this scenario, every single helper has been telling usap to go and actually learn math, and every single helper has been correct in this case

He's not saying that the helpers are always correct, just that they've always been correct when talking to usap

[cosmic gulch]

i get the sentiment, but thats not what he said and i just wanted to clarify

the intent doesnt matter much if you still said different than you meant if that makes sense

its not worth an argument over

im just pointing out maybe be more careful in word choice

[sand zealot]

"whatever you (referring to usap) said, they are right" this statement appears true to me

[sand zealot]

Well, I think civil arguments are always worth my while

As long as if we're both civil ofc

[cosmic gulch]

yes, theyre sometimes good but im busy and i dont like arguing at all, especially not over a silly discord conversation

[sand zealot]

Alright then

I understand

[earnest sinew]

And yes, I am a locally flat earther.
