The Thing About Programming Is That It Teaches You That You Can Flip-flop Between Feeling Like A Genius

The thing about programming is that it teaches you that you can flip-flop between feeling like a genius and an idiot considerably faster than you ever expected.

Hey Hey Hey Everyone!! As A Self-proclaimed Mathlete & Absolute Math Nerd, I Figured I Could Share Some

hey hey hey everyone!! as a self-proclaimed mathlete & absolute math nerd, i figured i could share some quick little tips for such an amazing subject! soooo here you go:

practice, practice, practice!!

I always say that practice is the most essential aspect of studying & learning math- and many other subjects! This can take the form of homework (mini tip: always do your homework if you are able!!! it鈥檚 only to your benefit! even if it鈥檚 not for a grade, try your best to work on it anyway), practice problems from a textbook or workbook, old questions from a past quiz or test, etc. Even just a couple of practice problems every day, or some quick q鈥檚 before a test, can help a lot. Remember, repetition is a key form of revision!

take active notes

Math is a very active subject, so it鈥檚 important for your notes to reflect that. Basically, if you鈥檙e working on an example problem in the middle of your notes, write it down too. These problems can come back in quizzes or tests, and they really help reinforce material when you鈥檙e reviewing. Another way to keep your notes active is by drawing diagrams!! Diagrams can be essential for certain topics, so please don鈥檛 ignore them, even if you think you can remember what that graph looks like. Also, if you ever need to jot something down in the margins of your notes, do it! All of this will really help when you review.

know your calculator 

Whether you need to know how to use one, or how to survive without one, calculators are pretty much always relevant when it comes to math. If the subject you鈥檙e learning allows it, you should always have a calc nearby, and you should know its basic functions. That doesn鈥檛 mean know how to add & subtract (unless that鈥檚 all that鈥檚 necessary for you), it means being able to work the graphing function, or how to enter data into your calculator for statistical evaluation, how to find certain functions in your calc, etc. It鈥檚 also very important to know how to work without your calculator. As you progress in math, there will be certain things that you just need to know how to do, because they take too long with a calc. Basically, make sure you understand what you鈥檙e doing with your calculator, so that you can understand how to do it without your calculator.

keep track of everything!

Math is a lot of data & different steps that you need to keep track of. When working on something, know where your numbers (or other forms of data) are, make sure you aren鈥檛 missing any! Do your best not to skip steps, even if you鈥檙e great at working in your head. Missing data & skipped steps are major sources of error and tiny mistakes that can mess up a whole problem. Also, know your common errors! Do you tend to skip a certain step because you think you鈥檝e got it? Do you sometimes misinterpret graphs or data? Once you鈥檝e figured that out, be extra careful with the specific problems that you have trouble with. Keeping track of your work & your mistakes can help you improve a lot!

memorize what needs to be memorized

A lot of math can be done with basic understanding of how to work a problem & the process to find a solution (these things are generally memorized with practice!) but there are some things that just need to be memorized. Whether it鈥檚 elementary functions like addition & division, or basic trigonometry, if it鈥檚 not a process you can learn through understanding, and need to know, make sure you know!! Some things can be memorized with practice, and others require different methods of memorization (I typically write & rewrite things multiple times). You can find some great posts on memorization here!

People think coding / debugging means highly concentrated furious typing, but mostly it鈥檚 just angrily staring at the screen for long periods of time waiting for the problem to solve itself
