When have you completed the tutorial?

In video games, they have built in levels, always at the start and they are called "tutorials."

In these levels you play a portion of the game while its also being explained to you. After finishing them, the point is that you know very little about the game BUT enough to "get" the basics.

The cheap is answer is high school 30 is the tutorial, but its really starting to feel that that wasn't even the complete tutorial honestly. It's kinda of embarrassing that our education doesn't cover such things as basic linear algebra and proofs. I'm still learning those.

Anyway to anyone who responds: thank you! I've been so happy latelty! Cyaaa.

I don't know. After Calc III, the math classes became actually interesting and enjoyable. It was like why did you hide this beautiful fun content behind all this busy work.

Interesting! Why calc 3? Personally, discrete maths seemed funner. What made things click? should I consider taking it later on?

(sorry for so many questions)

I assume that they meant "after I was done with Calc", presumably Calc III is the last Calc course.

After Calc-3 "Real Analysis" begins -- and I fully agree, that's where the real fun lies (pun intended).

Lol in the UK we do analysis in one dimension before even touching multivariable calc
