  1. The problem with this is that it's learning by rote. The memorisation of tricks. Classic education, which people don't remember over the years.
    You needed to show why the trick works.

  2. I’m 21 and I just barely graduated at 18. I might as well had crawled across the stage, and it took a lot of virtual classes and cheating to get there. After a 3 year break and some maturing, ive suddenly acquired a will to learn math again. My problem was going straight to algebra when there’s a few foundation math topics I never solidified. I’m now interested in going into the science field, which obviously required an extensive amount of math knowledge, and these videos are a huge help. Thankyou for creating this, and anybody whose reading, it doesn’t matter how bad you think you are you can do it too. But it takes your own free will to want it, not any outside pressures forcing you. Good luck to anyone who needed to search this video up.

  3. thanks so much i have a math test and freaking out cuz had no idea how to do it… wow college im learning this in yea five.

  4. My college math teacher literally linked this video in her lectures this quarter while everybody in the comments sayin that they're learning it in fuckin MIDDLE SCHOOL.. Never thought I'd feel old asf at 22
