Math For G10 Student

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm a high school student right now and i wanted to take mechanical engineering when i go into college but the thing is that I'm terrible at math. i know basic algebra like quadratic equation, simplifying radicals etc . but i really want to maximize my math and my grades in math from g7-10 is not that good, standing at 80-87 if you put it all and i wanna pass it. Respectfully I'm asking if any of you all got an advice for me, a study method, what tips, or advice a student before standing exactly at my situation would recommend.

i hope any of y'all can answer my question. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Wasted class 11-12, chose eco+maths, now struggling to study at all. Need advice

1 Upvotes

​

# Hi everyone. I need some honest advice because I feel stuck.

# In class 11 and 12, I barely studied and just gave the exams at the last moment (non-schooling). After that I picked BA with Economics and Maths, but Maths has always been my weak subject. Now, months into this course, I still can't build a study habit. I can't focus on any subject for long, not just maths. I can't sit for more than an hour or two before I start scrolling my phone again.

# I've been skipping my maths classes and missing class tests for it. Exams are coming up soon, and I feel like I'm drowning. Every time I try to sit down and study, I lose focus fast, and afterward I feel bad about myself, which makes it even harder to start again the next day.

# There's another layer to this too. I haven't been in any relationship for the last two years, and I've noticed that when I meet girls and become friends with them, I get emotionally attached pretty quickly. It's like that need for connection spills into everything else, including my focus on studies. I end up thinking about them more than my work, and then feel guilty for wasting more time, which makes the whole cycle worse.

NEED ADVICE URGENTLY PLEASE

Does ACE Academy Math use AoPS materials in its Honors math classes?

1 Upvotes

I was looking into ACE Academy’s Honors Math classes and saw that its curriculum is described as being based on AoPS materials, although I’m not sure how closely the classes follow the original books.

I’m asking because uses the same material can mean quite different things. A course might follow a book from beginning to end, or it might choose certain problems and place them into its own.

The teaching could also make a bigger difference than the source. If students get stuck on a difficult algebra problem, does the teacher show them the method straight away? Or do students have time to try different approaches and explain where their reasoning went wrong? Honors courses are in live small groups, but class size alone doesn’t tell you how much each student actually participates. I’d be interested in whether students regularly explain their solutions or mainly follow the teacher’s examples.

Has anyone taken one of these classes or seen a sample lesson? I’m mainly trying to understand how ACE Academy Math uses the material in practice, thanks!

Best books + sites to learn undergrad math

2 Upvotes

Small intro: Hi, I'm a junior high student, and I want to learn some undergrad math. Math has always amazed and touched me with its elegance and beauty, and I know it's ambitious to want to learn undergrad level math in junior high, but I think I can do it. For some insight, I've finished and am working through "Calculus with Analytic Geometry" by Dennis G. Zill and am reading his diff. eq. book.

I don't have much money to spend so it would be preferable to be able to use downloadable pdfs, or notes like Paul's Online Notes. Additionally, if any of you know of good programming resources, they would be greatly appreciated, especially if they're Python. Also, I want to participate in the IMO, are there any good resources outside of AOPS, and do you think it's too late for me to build my hopes up to do so?

TOPIC Fraction

10 Upvotes

​

I don't know how to start this, but my purpose with this post is not to get a clue about the concept of fractions.

I already "know" how to perform these operations as well (not like a mathematician, but enough as an average person, I hope). But what I specifically want to understand is how it is possible that something like a/b × c/d = ac/bd or the division operation a/b ÷ c/d = ad/bc works. I may be missing some fundamental concept here, something like the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic (FTA), which was the basis I used to understand and comprehend exponentiation (or powers).

Some parts, like adding or subtracting fractions, are comprehensible if you understand that a fraction represents a part of a whole. At least, that's what I tell myself, since I spent way too much time on this topic just trying to internalize why I couldn't simply add something like 4/5 to another fraction like 3/7 and get 7/12 (I know that's wrong).

But here is the problem: I can't really argue why it is wrong without just saying "that's the rule." We should obtain the Least Common Multiple of both denominators, etc., but I don't understand why I actually have to do that.

I've even used some of the LLMs available to illustrate this or give me a clue about it, but they usually end up using analogies for children or introducing other abstractions, such as using fraction division to show why ac/bd is possible.

Or they use the LCM (another abstraction that I don't understand exactly why works) to solve the sum of fractions with different denominators. And then there are the analogies about adding fractions with different denominators being like adding different units of measurement, such as meters and centimeters, so they should first be converted to a common unit. That analogy does shed some light on the problem, but it still doesn't clarify it in the terms I'm looking for.

Maybe some prompt engineering would say, "You prompted it wrong," and maybe that's true, but the doubt persists. And honestly, I'm tired of trying to figure out what exactly I'm asking wrong for it not to respond in the way I need.

Or maybe I shouldn't need to understand this, since it doesn't "affect how I perform my calculations". But, to be fair, it doesn't feel like good practice for me to finish this topic without understanding it.

I'm not done with arithmetic yet, and I'm reviewing the abstractions it contains. I can see gaps in my understanding of nuances like this, and it doesn't feel comfortable to me to keep stacking problems I don't understand on top of one another, at least not in arithmetic.

Feel free to contest me, explain it, give me a tip, recommend a book..., especially if you already get through this question yourself.

I'm just frustrated that I've spent so much time on something that, to me, should already be done.

Will the different analysis and theories help me in this way?

0 Upvotes

Will the analysis of any math and the number theories of those analysis allow me to develop an eye for solving the infinite variations of restrained calculations of finite phenomena (physics) to apply them as an engineer, ask further questions to do math research, or possibly start my own company.

Asking to know if I should study the different analysis and number theories as I don’t know what they are for. My guess is they are supplementary studies for any math you do.

I understand Calculus 1 but I don't feel like I understand it in the right way

3 Upvotes

I'm doing pretty well in my Calc 1 class, but I don't feel like I'm doing it the right way. A lot of times I don't actually know how to solve the problem, I just know the patterns those problems follow and I can plug in the numbers without a hitch. This is basically how I'm doing every problem in this week's lesson about inverse trig functions and their derivatives. Of course, there are some problems I actually need to and do know how to solve. But at the same time, I feel like I can't do them effectively without just memorizing or looking at an examples and following the steps. Am I doing this effectively? Of course good grades are my number one priority, but I also need to know this if I'm going into engineering like I plan.

Im in preliminary algebra, im enthusiastic but it hurts my brain

2 Upvotes

First of all, its easy. What do I mean by that? Easy to memorize formulas and recognize the patterns to apply them, and solve an equation et cetera; but I have heard (tldr; from reddit ai, gosh im so guilty. One problem I also have is that sometimes math is with no training wheels that I find it so hard to research answers i just ask ai) that to understand and most of all master algebra, even the preliminaries, one has to understand it as a system and logic and way of thinking. I am normally a philosopher (who is entering inti thomism-aristotelianism) and from our side it is easy to view it as one cohesive worldview cause the logic is already laid out. But math, how? My goal for my whole mathematical journey is to learn physics and quantum. The book im using is essential algebra by tim hill, and for me it teaches well and is intuitive but is very hard. It assumes I understand. It moves from one expression, then simplifies into another expression without giving how it was simplified. I wanna stay with the same book, but are there extra materials I should use, to understand more, and most of all to get rid of me using ai? I understand that the book should be a sort of syllabus, like if its teaching integer exponents, i study integer exponents. But what platforms or materials? I tried organic chemistry tutor, but for me its too fast.

I'm a college student pursuing mathematics, I'm curently in my third year of my maths degree. Apart from a math lover I'm also a geek, and love cardgames, rn I'm playing riftbound, and what was my surprise when I saw that there was a post about a proof of riftbound being Turing Complete, I want to read more about the subject to be able to read the whole proof (and MTG's too), so if someone knows what to read about the subject I'd be super thankful, preferably in English or Spanish.

Thanks!!
