Become an Algebra Master in 30 Minutes a Day

Yes it is possible to become become an algebra master in just 30 minutes a day. It's all about being consistent and in time you will just get so much better! In this video I talk about how to do this from start to finish.

Math Sorcerer, YOU are DEFINITELY the go-to man for math inspiration!!! Thank you lots for producing and posting these videos!!! You are indeed a pedagogical treasure!!! :) :) :)

Highschool algebra wasn't that hard at all
But education system ....at teaching it

[LucasDimoveo]

The openstax textbooks are okay, but most importantly they are free. That is how I got started with Algebra, Trig, and Calc I-II

idk why a lot of people gloss over algebra. When I was in school people had a tough time in Calculus because they lacked algebra knowledge that you need to solve problems

For those who know Russian, there is a legendary book of math exercises, written in 50s by Skanavi and his team of Russian mathematicians. It remains essentially unsurpassed even until this day. I probably would not be mistaken if I said that all the generations of the best Russian scientists for the past half century used it at some point as the primary resource to practice intermediate math.
Unlike most of modern books, it actually has answers to *all* problems. Not only that, there exist 3(!) companion books (one for each level of difficulty), which are publicly available and contain _very detailed solutions_ to every math problem in that original book. This book is a true legend and will probably remain such for the next 100 years.
I forgot to mention that the level of difficulty of those problems makes American SAT problems look like a joke.

I was thinking of finishing an Elec. engineering degree I started years back but had to put on hold. I said I'd go next year, then next, then..well you get the idea. I have to redo a lot as it has been more than 7 yrs and they can't use it for credit. I honestly forgot a lot too. These videos point me in a good direction for reading and are a great inspiration for me, ( I'm 46)

For a second I was wondering "where's Isenbaud's Commutative Algebra" before realizing "oh this is for pre-college

I'm in education. I haven't taught math in quite some time but I've been involved in enough curriculum, professional development etc. to see that there are some huge problems.
If I may point out what I see as the most obvious-- we absolutely do not begin by making connections to larger ideas and problems until almost 6 to 8 years of basics. We think that being good at the basics, understanding the progressive levels of concepts that build on each other IS how we best get kids to ultimately understand the big ideas- trig, proofs, calculus etc.
If we did that with reading- kids would not read a short story until high school.
I completely understand that to MASTER or even get to being competent in trig or calculus- you must master a certain sequence of skills- but here's the rub-
I have yet to see great instruction that connects maths to concepts at the earliest levels.
Why can't we introduce the notion of limits -- early on.
This is the reason we get the terrible question- When am I going to use this in real life?
I used to answer that- Well you absolutely won't know when you CAN use it because there is a world of problems out there that aren't solved or thought of mathematically because we don't teach this very well.

Unfortunately we mostly only expect them to be able to make sure they can make sure they aren't cheated on their paychecks.
I'm old enough to have heard teachers say they were happy if students could balance their paycheck.

I digress- I wasn't fond of Common Core math because it was still too sequential- I want us to challenge students with HUGE ideas take them apart and make them real.
Their is a fantastic British professor here that explains Black Holes with fairly simply Algebra.
I'm a smart man -- and I've read all the pop physics books Hawkings, Greene, etc and it wasn't until that professor explained singularity with fairly simple Algebra that I was truly disturbed by the idea of a singularity and infinite density.
Why do we dumb things down?
Anyway- thank you for these videos

This mindset and activity needs to go viral, and people need to know that it is perfectly OK and even COOL to solve a problem per day for the rest of your life, the world would be a much better, smarter place ALSO ... if you are ever going to study calculus at university or college it is IMPERATIVE that you study ON YOUR OWN prior to ever setting foot in the classroom. Give yourself some time to figure things out, then take the class, and you will absolutely ACE that class !!!

Linear algebra this semester for quantum mechanics. Watched your linear algebra book recommendation and it helped me a lot to find a book that works for me. Gilbert Strang's book is what I am going with. Thanks.

[dolevmazker]

Beatiful video, for the past 3 months i worked on pre algebra, college algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I moved on now to calculus and its quite alright 🤞
This videos do help out a lot

Math Sorcerer inspired me to get an Algebra & Trig book and work through it. I got "Algebra and Trigonometry by Stewart, Redlin and Watson for about $15. 920 pages. Currently on page 535 and trying to work through every odd numbered exercise and take notes. Thanks Math Sorcerer 🧙🧙

You're a great online teacher, anyone following your Udemy course will definitely get tremendous value from it. If you ever decide on creating a pure math "graduate level" course (like measure theory or functional analysis), then I will buy it in a heart beat :)

When I was in college (ages ago) after learning trigonometry we had a class called Analytic Geometry that I took in the summer between end of high school and first year in college. In fact the book was a thin red book called "Analytic Geometry" It covered basic vectors, conic sections, and I think how to graph more complex functions that did not fall in the realm of the earlier part of the book. I think that the longest problems were in learning how to rotate and translate functions of conic sections, wasn't hard, but very tedious so you couldn't make any small errors. I used to joke that most errors in Calculus problems were algebra errors! so algebra foundation is important.

After I finish my manneging major few years later I started re - studying operational research mainly linear algebra. Is pure fun but also challenging

[derlovedoctor]

Went to the library and got myself a beginner math book and it is so interesting it even has a bit on the history of mathematics. Greetings from germany :)

I am in class 9 and was looking for some sources to self-study college algebra and your helped a lot. Thanks!

[mqicces]

Besides exercises, I've started using flashcards and a Leitner box to memorise definitions and other useful facts. It really helps.
