![]() Her classes weren’t really resonating with her and after deciding to change her major, she told herself she was going to study “literally anything but math”. She remembers telling her statistics teacher then that she “might be a statistician someday”.ĭylan was always interested in people and their stories, so in College, she decided to major in political science. It had visuals which helped Dylan because she was always interested in visual arts like painting, drawing, and sculpture. She liked that it was applied and had stories along with the numbers. It was the first time that she ever enjoyed a math class. She was told that she had to put in more effort and work harder.ĭylan took AP statistics her senior year. Later in high school, she was met with similar attitudes toward her struggle with math. She also struggled with multiplication above 7 but was able to put in the effort and get by. She got to fractions in the fourth grade and felt like, “a ton of bricks hit me and I was struggling.” Looking back now, Dylan recalls that she wasn’t able to read an analog clock and couldn’t make sense of maps. She skated by because most people would say things like “Math is hard” or “Math just isn’t your thing”. Cheers.Dylan was top of her class in just about everything except for math. Hope everyone's finals have gone well so far and good luck to any of those with upcoming finals. I'll work on getting it done over this weekend and make a new and detailed post and make sure to keep it as updated as I can. Seeing as there seems to be a lot of need and want for some outside resources (video specifically) outside of the usual books and Khan academy, I will be compiling a list of all the different online resources I have found for various subjects from all disciplines of engineering. Glad I could help even just a few people out by sharing what resources are available. Professor Leonard uses the same book which is popular among most Universities so all the videos are sort of indexed and titled on the content and chapter being discussed.Īlso be sure to check out Paul's online notes for some solid examples and thorough explanations.Įdit: super happy to see how much attention this has gotten. Hope these help anyone else out that may need them either for finals or for next semester. Sure, it's an extra few hours of videos to watch each week on top of your normal class, but gives the benefit of actually learning and not having more questions after a lecture than you had before it. I usually would watch his videos alongside or even before my class lectures to get a sneak peak or reinforcement of some of the basics in calculus and it really payed off. All his lectures are posted online and I've posted them below, but he's got a great teaching style and is entertaining to watch. His name is Professor Leonard and he's a God send. Having gone through this struggle myself, I figured I'd post my saving grace for getting me through every calculus class I've taken. I've seen way too many people struggling with the classes which seem to kick a lot of people's butts and have personally had a few coworkers of mine drop out of calc 1/2/3 this semester because they just didn't get it. So I know that it's the end of another semester, and with that comes the stress of finals. ![]() Meme posts made outside this time will be removed.
