yeah but im stupid do you have any advice or whatever

I'm an actual mathematician. It's what I went to school for. Algebra to me is what a screwdriver is to a carpenter. Just one tool among many and nothing special about it nor difficult.

i see. too bad im a dumb shit and my only bad subject is maths but its the only one i cant get a grasp on

all the numbers just overwhelm me

Algebra is pretty easy as far as subjects go. If you have trouble with it, something that can help is trying some visual aids. They can help you get your mind around it when just looking at pure text doesn't do it for you.

ive tried studying really hard even 2 weeks in advance and the test turns out like 10 times more difficult than what i learnt, also thanks for the advice m8

Visual aids help a lot. They're the best way of getting your mind around most math subjects.

I'm sitting at 89% in a Calc 2 course this semester 😀

I find that most people who trouble understanding algebra are actually more visual in their learning.

im still a fetus so this should be easy compared to what you guys are doing...

but my best result was 64 percent and my worst was 53

I went into high school calculus already knowing what they'd teach in the college classes.

Calc 2 is my last Calculus class

The other students looked at me with a look that combined loathing, contempt, jealousy, and envy when I finished a five day test in 25 minutes and got a perfect score and the only one in the class to get more than an 80%.

Next semester I have to take Linear Algebra

Ugh heard that linear algebra is tuff

And Calc 2 kicks my ass occasionally as well

Is this high school or college?

high school

I'm in college

at least i have time to fix it right

Algebra is the easiest subject in mathematics and typically the only one you're usually required to advance up to if your degree in college doesn't require it.

The problem most people have is they can't wrap their minds around the words and letters and require a visual aid to help them conceptualize it and most teachers don't really do that.

Linear Algebra is nothing like high school Algebra

Matrices and shiiiiieet

I heard good things about this channel for helping struggling people learn these subjects.

I could probably be a decent mathematics teacher if I wanted to. I'd have to finish my degree though, I never did because of health and financial reasons.

Some kind of visualization always helps understand various subjects. It helps immensely in algebra, trig, and calculus.

Calculus often seems daunting and unapprochable if you just look at the raw equations. Visualizations make it much easier.

thanks for the vid

Try watching more from that channel, it should help.

Specific questions I can help with but I won't just give you the answer. It's a poor teacher that does the work for you.

but legit i am so tired i cant concentrate on doing actually maths as practice for my test (which is on next wednesday) so i think this will help me at least learn something

I'm waiting for PBS Digital Studios to create an entry level mathematics channel. They are the absolute best at making any subject, no matter how difficult to compreend, very easy to understand.

Unfortunately their only channel covering mathematics is their new one called Infinite Series. Which is directed towards people like me, experts who are already very knowledgable in most math subjects.

They have introductory science channels like Physics Girl, and a high end science channel called Space Time.

what kinds of jobs incorporate biology 🤔

That's something you should just google. 😄

it is by far my favourite thing to learn
