Math Tips
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Pictures are not mine)
Well, let me tell you, we all have this love-hate relationship with this subject, right? The worst part is that when you don't know what the heck is going on, so, as a girl who studied maths (2 Volumes/textbooks) on her own during the year she was homeschooled, here are some tips and tricks that I did to get an A+ in my math finals!
Get your syllabus together
In the beginning I had no damn idea what was going on and it was just confusing. I had to do the first thing I did was taken my index/table of contents and mark the chapters which i knew very well and the ones I had no clue about. And then i arranged them with the marking scheme, like which one carries the most marks etc etc and study accordingly.
Complete lessons/chapters that you already know
When you finish off the things you already know then that's gonna give you the confidence you need even if you know only 1-2 chapters, learn it throughout and make sure that you'll get the answer no matter how twisted the sum is. If you're doubtful about the whole textbook like any normal person.... Start with the easy ones. (I know there are literally really no "easy" chapters, spare me)
Harder chapters need hard work
Most chapters like Trigonometry proofs, Geometry proofs, Algebra, Graphs, Mensuration and Calculus etc need more than minimum effort but here's a trick, what is the common thing in this? Yes, they're all formulae and theorem based which goes to my next point. These chapters are completely based on how much you've understood your basics.
Formulae and theorem cheatsheets
Make a list of all formulae and the theorem used in the book, write them chapter wise and no printouts or digital notes. Take a paper and write it down, no excuses. It helps you while you're practicing, revising and in the last minute review, it helped me damn much. Remember, maths is a sport. The basic formulae must come to you like reflexes.
YouTube is your best friend.
For every single chapter, go and watch the basics and how a sum is done step by step. A recommendation for this is Organic Chemistry Tutor who literally is one of the reasons i passed. He has videos from basic geometry, trigonometry, statistics to calculus. Search for your own YouTubers and be clear with concepts.
Math is fully memorization
Memorize formulae and theorems with the back of your hand, you should be able to recall them within seconds. Be thorough.
Memorize basic math values (if calculator isn't allowed)
Do this if you have a majority of chapters like Statistics, Mensuration, Profit/loss calculation etc, where large numbers are concerned. Memorize the first 10 square, cube, decimal and multiplication values. It may be dry but there are literally songs available for these things, I'm serious, i learnt the first 10 cube roots by listening to Senorita xD Search for rhymes and they'll definitely be many!!
Work it out!!!!!!
Can't stress this enough, atleast 30-40 mins is the minimum for maths. I'm serious, work out each sum, don't ever think it's a waste, you'll see the results. Practice makes perfect. Work out every single sum, from examples to exercise ones cause let's be honest, our examiners love to take problems from every nook and cranny of the book.
Whiteboard method
So, I made this up and it actually works, if you have a whiteboard or anything else, once you completed a chapter, take a random page and whatever sums you have on those two pages, you need to complete within a given time limit. It helps you to identify your weak points and where the hell you're losing both time and effort and not to mention that it gives you confidence boost up.
Hope this helps :))

I think the more I look into trigonometry, the more time I spend with the identities, the more beautiful it becomes. It's all tangibly connected, you can see how they morph into one another and yet they're all unique. Trigonometric identities and equations are like the night sky to me, they are so varied and beautiful and yet so similar. They're all stars, with what seems to be a similar composition to one another, yet the amounts in which they're composed makes them individuals, and makes them special.

I plan to go back to school next fall, so I have a little ovet fourteen months to master all seven subjects. I won't need two full months for algebra 1; cracking open the first chapter, it's all stuff like "here's what a plus sign means" and "variables look like letters, but they really stand for numbers!"
It won't hurt to brush up on factorization, but I think I can bang this one out in a week or two. All the better, because calculus kicked my ass in high school and it's not gonna be any easier now that I'm my own teacher. I passed it once (by the skin of my teeth), but have forgotten almost everything about it in the last decade, so I'll need the extra time to really get it down pat. I have to be able to derive and integrate in my sleep if I'm to stand half a chance at earning an astrophysics major. Astronomy would be slightly easier, but not by much, so I may as well go for gusto. The very first class astrophysics requires is calc 2, so I can't enroll until I'm 100% sure I know calc 1 forwards and backwards. Physics too, but physics and calc feel like two sides of the same coin, so I'll try to work on them at the same time (again, I managed to pull it off once, I'm sure I can do it again).
Chances are these Dummies books will be insufficient for me to grok all this math in one year, so I'll end up buying more textbooks, workbooks, study guides, SAT and AP prep, etc. I had plenty of cram sessions in my first go around at college, but nothing quite like this. This will be a herculean undertaking compared to the easy-A humanities program I coasted through originally. I had no motivation back then, no drive, no goal for "the real world" upon graduating. I went to college because it was expected of me, and I was told I needed it to get a good job. What I wasn't told is that not all majors are created equal; there's not a lot you can do with an English degree besides, well, teaching English. I just hope 14 months is enough time, because I would really prefer not to take another year off; 2024 is the ten year anniversary of when I started college the first time, so it would mean so much more to me if I started again that August rather than put it off until 2025.
I guess it doesn't matter in the end. If I'm not ready, I'm not ready. I can't force myself to start an extremely advanced program before I've mastered the pre-reqs. If I need to start later, so be it. As long as I'm consistently working towards my goal, it shouldn't matter how long it takes.

If you got problems with trigonometry I feel bad for you son
I got ((3/(cos^2x+sin^2x)))^4+(((7(cos^2x+sin^2x)))+(11/(cos^2x+sin^2x))) problems and trigonometry ain't one

My triangle subdivisions
prime numbers higher than four are hard.  Hence why I skipped 11.

Papyrus of Ahmose or Mathematical Rhind (1500 BC / 1550 BC) is the oldest manuscript written in Algebra and Trigonometry.
Manuscript shows that Egyptians used first-order equations and solved them in several ways.
They know quadratic equations and solve them. They also know numerical and geometric sequences and know quadratic equations like two :
X2 + y2 = 100,
Y = 3/4 x, where x = 8, y = 6,
This equation is the origin of Pythagoras theorem, a2 = b 2 + c 2, and Egyptians used to call unknown number (koom).
Pythagoras developed his mathematical theories after travelling to Egypt and learning from Egyptian priests.
This has been proven in books of Greek historians and scholars such as Farpharius of Sour, Herodotus, and Thales.
Egyptians had Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry about 2000 years before the birth of Pythagoras and about 3000 years prior to al-Khwarizmi being born.
The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (RMP; also designated as papyrus British Museum 10057 and pBM 10058) is one of the best known examples of ancient Egyptian mathematics.
It is named after Alexander Henry Rhind, a Scottish antiquarian, who purchased the papyrus in 1858 in Luxor, Egypt.
It was apparently found during illegal excavations in or near the Ramesseum. It dates to around 1550 BC.

If twitter is “x” now then i think the tumblr owners need to step up and name the site “y”
It’s the only way we can have balance in the universe

The innocence of pies
It was wrong. All wrong.
I sat at the end of the table, and looked at the end of this years thanksgiving feast.
We were having apple pie and ice cream, and my aunt was getting a knife to slice it up, for everyone to… enjoy.
My aunt found the knives. calm down, calm down
She returned. im not calming down
She's about to slice into the–
"No!" The words slipped out if my mouth. The screams of my mind unable to be contained. And… and everyone was looking at me now.
"We… shouldnt cut open the pie," I said. Everyone was looking at me blankly. My heart was pounding but I couldnt stop now.
So I spoke, each sentence becoming more desperate than the next.
"We shouldnt cut it open! We shouldnt– distribute its pieces among the family! And most of all, we shouldnt consume its flesh, because why should we‽"
Then I screamed.
"The pie. is. Guiltless! Without guilt! It has never hurt its fellow man, it has always been fair in its dealings!"
I turned. Slowly. Making eye contact with everyone. People Id thought to call family.
"The pie was a better man than any of you were." I spat.
They were looking away now, save my father, trembling in anger, and trying to bore a hole though my head with his glare.
No.
I slammed my fist on the table, thankfully misssing the cultry. He flinched.
"The pie is innocent! You cannot do this and call yourself good men," I sneered.
But I was loosing them, more defiant faces than not. They didn't care about the… the heinous nature of this act.
This isnt working. I should leave. I'm too emotional right now. They hate me. I should leave, I should–
I took a deep breath, and got up.
Im going to leave
Before I left, I said one last thing. Repeating myself, yes, but it beared repeating.
"The pie has done nothing wrong. You all know this. And yet you will consume its flesh." I said. "But I suppose thats all I can hope for, for you to acknowledge that, well,"
I took another breath.
"that the sin of pie, is zero."

They're here!

The geometry workbook is by a different author, and the pre-calc workbook has a different co-author, but all the rest are matching sets.
My plan is to go back to school next year to get a second bachelor's degree in astrophysics, a dream of mine that I abandoned in my freshman year because I was lazy and depressed and burned out. I eventually graduated with a BA in English, which is by far the greatest regret of my life. After 4½ years of doing nothing but complain about it and wallow in what could have been, I decided last month to get my ass in gear and commit to the field I originally intended back in 2014.
It's been 9 years since I graduated high school, and I've forgotten pretty much everything beyond simple geometry and a vague awareness of trigonometric functions (I've retained no calculus whatsoever). If I'm going to pursue astrophysics, I'm not only going to need to relearn all this math, I'm going to need to master it. I can't just eke by with a passing C, I need to know every subject backwards and forwards while blindfolded. I already have the pre-req credits to get into the advanced math and physics classes for the major, I just need to refresh myself. I was able to pass trig and AP calc and physics back when I was a punkass teenager, I'm sure I can do it again now that I actually give a shit.
I procrastinated all throughout May because I didn't know if I had it in me to master seven courses in one year, but the workbooks all arrived this morning and now I'm feeling a lot better about my chances. Flipping through algebra 1, I've encountered nothing but softball questions like "which is bigger, -5 or -2?" and "find coordinate (1,3) on this graph." I have no doubt in my mind that this is going to be an absolute cakewalk. Like riding a bike, it'll all come back to me as I work my way through it. I can knock out algebra 1 in a few days, two weeks tops, but I'm less confident in my latent geometry skills, so the cakewalk will serve mostly to temper myself for the challenges ahead. If I jumped right into the hard parts, I'd get overwhelmed and give up like I my first time around, so I need to start small.
I'll be deriving and integrating in no time!
