Learning Algebra and Calculus by onesself
    #19402079 - 01/11/14 01:47 AM (10 years, 20 days ago)

I am planning on self learning some math and computer science. I havent taken a math class in 10 years or so, and community college wont let me retake algebra because i guess i took it too many times back in the day.

Does anyone here know of good software programs that walk you through that shit?

Try Khan Academy.

It's free and tries to explain concepts in a simple way. Plus if you sign up you can get a report with graphs that tell you how you're doing over time.

I learned more from this website than I did from any of my math lectures.

Through algebra? It's honestly self explanatory to me, but what are you trying to learn. I'll try and help you out, but every program including everything on your phone does basic algebra for you.

If you know computer programming or what you are trying to self teach then you pretty much know algebra. It's just assigning variables. Nothing more.

Algebra is manipulating equations not assigning variables.  There is a huge difference.

Algebra is learning that things can be assigned to variables, and that there are equations beyond 2 + 2.

intermediate was my last course like 10 years ago. i am going back to school for a second bachelors degree in computer science. but like i said the people at college refuse to let me take a refresher course in intermediate algebra, so i need to learn it on ma own.

im searching around for some programs that generate random questions and let you try and answer them. then if you cant it explains the solution. that would be ideal.

True, but that definition breaks down when it comes to complex numbers, which you would use algebra to manipulate. Algebra, as a simple definition, means performing operations on equations.

if you want, and i have time, i can help you out. i'm taking calculus 1 right now and did amazingly well in intermediate algebra (math is a little bit of a turn on for me; i really enjoy it, makes me super excited although not necessarily sexually). i tutor for elementary algebra right now, and did last semester as well, but i would have liked to do intermediate had any of the schedules for those classes worked with my schedule.

khan academy, as was mentioned, will generate problems for you. MIT and Stanford both have open courses that you can take for free. i would say, since you've taken the class before, but it's been a while, that you will find it coming back to you if you watch some lectures through MIT or Stanford and play around with Khan Academy. YouTube also has a lot of great videos. this guy is great as well. i would also recommend playing around with Wolfram Alpha.

Khan Academy does exactly that.

I would highly recommend you sign up for it, as it can give you some feedback during your practicing.


If you need advanced questions, then maybe look at some of the programs by Wolfram Alpha.

no, it definitely does. i said that it doesn't "necessarily" mean that it turns me on sexually, but that isn't to say that it doesn't do exactly that sometimes.

Oh, great. I am very much similar. I love math. Which I would hope I do, my career involves math and my degree is for math.
I like statistics, but while attaining my degree I also was required to take a boatload of calculus classes, which were super fun. I'd like to go back and finish up my master's sometime, but I find procrastination to be exceptionally awesome now that I've gotten my Bachelor's out of the way.


Oh, and Linear Algebra. Vector Calculus and linear algebra were great. More fun than the actual statistics classes, besides regression analysis which was fucking awesome.

i was so excited to be taking calculus this semester but also scared shitless at the same time. i'm really looking forward to linear algebra. we'll see how calc goes, but i think it'll be okay. i'll work my ass off and it'll be worth it. it's looking like i'll accidentally be getting two degrees when i graduate at this point. one in my declared major, biochemistry, and one in mathematics. but yes, linear algebra looks like so much fun! i really can't wait.

Hell yeah, best of luck to you. I have about zero proficiency in any chemistry outside of highschool AP level crap, but thankfully I also don't find it particularly stimulating so I have no desire to improve that skill.

Not sure where I'd go from here, career wise. My current is quite nice and pays well, but I'm always looking for upward movement. Definitely don't want to be a teacher, plus their pay comparatively sucks. :rofl:

Kahn academy will really help, but make sure you understand the supporting concepts. I'm taking calculus II this semester, and it feels like each course you take reinforces your understanding of the courses that preceded it.

If you work your ass off you will do fine. The biggest thing is doing all of the homework, and making sure you understand what is going on. Right now I've covered up to the end of my first Calc II exam so that I know the material in the lectures won't just blow my mind away. :shrug:

I happened to find my final grades from first year in college and I have no idea how I got a B in calculus. My brain must have limited capacity, and everything I learned must have been replaced by stuff I learned later. I wonder what other useful things are be pushed off the stack by useless crap I read on the shroomery.

You don't care at all about your income?  That seems pretty illogical.  I care greatly about my income.  I will not be happy if I do not hit at least 120k by the peak of my career.

So you can buy things you want.  So you can afford to travel.  So you can spoil your children.  So you can pay for your children's education.  So you can have a nice house.  So you can have a cottage.

There's a ton of reasons.

I just started a Calc II course and it's been almost 10 years since I took Calc I. Gonna be kind of rough I think. We were just starting into integration near the end of Calc I and I remember very little. Taking a computer science course too and that looks fun. Never used Python before but it looks moderately straightforward to use so far.

And none of them that are as fulfilling as doing what you love and care about. Considering I love what I will be doing and what I am learning that's all I need.

Growing up dirt poor and seeing my parents making the best of the situation made me care very little for material needs. Who needs to waste money living in excess.

I mean fuck most people don't even grow their own food, how fucked is that? A huge chunk of our economy is based off of greed produced by peoples desire to not put the small amount of work it takes to get free food. Our whole culture is fucked because of how spoiled everyone thinks they deserve to be, when enjoying the simple things is all you need.

Definitely use some of the resources you saw above. the biggest thing is practice. For me going back to kahn academy and just working through example problems with him is enough for me to remember something covered awhile ago. If you have a textbook that covers Calc I, II, and III feel free to go back and practice some of those problems to. Remembering derivatives of elementary functions and the order of operations with regards to integrals (being able to pull out factors from inside an integral), and u substitution will be huge for the first chunk it looks like from the sections I've covered so far.

It was actually some of your comments on here that got me thinking that computer science would be a good thing to pursue, will see how I do in it though. I've done some other programming but it was quite a few years ago. The lectures so far are pretty understandable and fun, but the calc is going to be a struggle I think. I used to do fairly well at math but I've forgotten quite a lot.

Yeah when it comes to calculus you basically teach yourself. The classes aren't long enough to explain some shit..usually lots of examples and online mymathlab..

Both views seem like harmful extremes to me.  I care about my income, but chose a career path with a relatively low ceiling because it allows me to do what I most value and enjoy.  I'm happier living within small means and spending my time enriching my own life and the lives of my clients.  I can work less, enjoy it more, and maintain a standard of living for myself and a couple other people that provides more than enough to educate a child and keep us well cared for. :shrug:  Perhaps some people are better off in careers that peak over $120k/year...though to be honest, it seems very questionable to me.

I don't think it's an extreme if you just said what I said in different words. All you did was specifically outline specific bills. I think people overly concerned about having a fuck-huge income are the worst examples of what happens when "Hurray capitalism!" It's practically a mental illness.

A secondary school teacher in the states makes around $55 000/year.  That is not enough to live comfortably and afford to travel, pay for a good education for your children, perhaps have a cottage, etc.

$120k isn't even that large of a salary.  I agree that there are some issues when people search for huge salaries like in the $500 000+ range but that's not what's in question here.

Where I live houses start at $600 000.  If you want a backyard probably $800 000.  You can get a decent condo for ~$450 000.  $55 000/year is not going to cut it for that mortgage alone never mind travelling for any other amenities.

people who seek security in numbers are as crazy as people who think voting changes things

how about looking for happiness somewhere else other than financial security? like pursuing the things you love doing maybe?

though perhaps what you love most is really counting all those numbers, and trying to figure out when you'll have enough numbers to afford that big thing you always wanted

Sounds like you live somewhere shitty with inflated land prices. The most expensive house in my home town on the market right now is 300k with: 3 Bd 2 Ba 2,395 Sq Ft 20 Acres. The Most expensive house in the city I go to college in, with inflated prices, is $815,900 4 Bd 3 Full, 2 Half Ba 6,342 Sq Ft 0.87 Acres.

I'm pretty sure you are just trolling at this point, or just dumb. :lol:

Regardless I'd rather get paid in enlightened students, or at least in students who I know wont have a pleb for a teacher. Because bad chemistry/physics/math teachers ruin far to many students. It also has the bonus of being a job with constant demand (and grants I receive to make me literally owe $0 after graduation with two degrees).

I live in a big city.  That is pretty much how it goes in any big city - San Fran, New York, London, Paris - these places are expensive to live but typically have the highest concentration of high paying jobs and the most amenities.

There are certainly houses/properties here that cost upward of $10 million and probably some a lot more than that.

Depends on your desired lifestyle :shrug:

I think you need to get around a bit. Around here, there is no such thing as a house that costs 300K. You might be able to get a one bedroom condo with a kitchenette for that price.

I just saw the 20 acres lol. That would cost you a couple million.

My wife and I have never made more than that with our combined income.  We live better than comfortably.  We have all we need and most of what we want.

i need some math help

  I have a circle thats 20(units) in diameter.  I have 7 points that start at x=0,y=0.  I want each point to travel to the perimeter of the circle and be equidistant from each other. 
uuuhh.  without the x,y for each point by hand, how do i make a formula  that makes each point travel to the right spot?

$(div).each(function(){

  var magicForumula = ???
  var newX = ???
  var newY = ???
 
  $(this).animate({
    translateX: newX
    translateY: newY
    },500,function(){
    newX += magicForumla;
    newY += magicForumla;
    });

});

I don't know programming any more but

n=0-6

Sin(360/7•n)=x/10
Cos(360/7•n)=y/10
Or
10•Sin(360/7•n)=x
10•Cos(360/7•n)=y

You'll have to offset that to line up at 0,0. That is centered at 0,0

Mick - Khan academy is what you want, it moves really slow and is extremely thorough. However, it might take you awhile to find where your at, and I found the questions on it to be considerably less hard than the grade 11 algebra class that I was placed into. That said, it teaches the fundamentals very well.

I'll relate my experience: I am back in school (highschool upgrading) after 11 years out, and fucking up my highschool career. Highly motivated, but tried starting with "self paced" math. Couldn't do it, too time consuming. I was eventually able to teach myself the fundamentals, but it was incredibly frustrating and time consuming. Learning via the text book is an exercise in patience, the language of math is non intuitive for me.

I am now in a class, learning the same material i've already taught myself, I find it to be a breeze and believe the class should carry on that way.

Moral of the story: Teaching myself math is a pain of the ass, i much prefer classes!

That said, algebra is pretty straight forward (and I haven't moved onto calculus yet.)

Goodluck.

That's not really relevant at all.  That salary wouldn't cover lots of rich people's mortgage.  Rich people buy expensive houses and live in nice rich areas.  They often cant even consider living in the "regular" side of town because to them its unsafe, not fit to live in, too far to commute, etc.  I commute past houses I could never afford every day.

Perhaps have a cottage?  Give me a break...

Well if your primary concern is money i' sure you will have to "do things" to be happy. I just want all my bills to be paid for. I really don't give two shits about material goods. If people think "I would do that but it doesn't pay enough" you are at your job for the wrong reason. If all my bills are paid and I have money to smoke weed at the end of every day I'll be happy. :shrug:

The only reason I'm not ok with my current job in the food service industry is because it can't pay my bills. I have to rely on money I earn from grants to do that.

That's great that you don't desire to live in close proximity to the city core but I do.  And I would also like to have a cottage.  I love being able to step outside and be in walking distance of top notch restaurants of 10+ different styles of cuisine.  I can walk to a stand-up comedy show, my favourite jazz venue, or to a world renown music hall that brings in the best acts from all over the globe.

Are those things strictly necessary?  Certainly not.  But they are awesome and the demand for them is high because people enjoy these experiences.  That is why the cost of living is high.  Not to mention that the high paying jobs are around here and I don't want to spend 2+ hours of my life every day commuting to and from work.

"City" has multiple definitions. And some of them are defined by fewer than 1,000 residents. :thewarden:

And considering I live in Kansas "In Oregon, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, all incorporated municipalities are cities."

Eventually the insanely inflated prices for land will go away. :shrug: Like I said, I hate high populations. I'd rather just sit at home, crowds make my social anxiety sky-rocket (unless it's just a huge class).

I think that's my favorite thing about my Calc Classes though, the 300 person lecture halls mean I never have to talk to anyone.

rich people are not immune to crime, in fact they are more susceptible. this is obvious by reading the statistics

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.  Rich people have more to be taken.  If you are going to rob someone why break into a poor person's house that likely has very few valuables when you can break into a rich person's house and steal thousands of dollars of jewellery and electronics.

I already listed several of the great amenities you get living in a big city.  Once again, it's great that you don't want them, but you have to pay to play.  If you want the amenities of the city, which I and many other people do, you have to pay the higher cost of living.

Our Calc books have the same title. :lol:

Thanks for reminding me to do a few more sections for Calc II. I have exactly a week left before the beginning of the new semester.

I'm extremely prepared for this semester to rape my mind with Engineering Physics I and Biochemistry (and easy mode Stats). Toooooo muuuuuch maaaaaath.

god, i wish i had gotten my book while i was still on break so i could start working on it. i only had two weeks off, though, and by the time i knew what textbooks i needed, i was already a week in to my break. finally got this beast on Saturday.

i do not want to carry it around twice a week! not that and all the other shit i have to bring with me. bleh.

Yea, I won't be getting my books for my other courses until a week after classes begin.  Having them around to read up on would help a lot.

I'm also lucky because my math department archives all their syllabi so I know what sections I should even be looking at, I wish more courses made their old syllabi available. Engineering physics is going to be my first physics course ever and I'm all like "da fuq am i doing"?

I don't know if you will be taking Calc II and Calc III, but hopefully you will get to use the same book for those courses. That is how it is for me.

I took my last final December 14th, and classes don't start again until January 21st. My college has a freakishly long winter break (with no winter courses either).

I hated engineering physics. I got a B in the class, but it didn't help when you were taught basic mechanics by a russian professor that specializes in semi-conductors.

Physics II this semester, and statics and dynamics next fall. Physics, ughhh

Luckily E.P. I and II are all the physics I'll need. Do you think someone with 0 physics experiance at all will be fucked in the course?

I've had to learn a few units already because of chemistry courses, but some things people just assume I know and I'm like "dude wut"?

Judging by my Statistics online webpage the prof takes it seriously.

I've never been bad at math for sure, it's probably my strongest subject. I just have to get at least a 3.5 this semester to keep my grant program so I stress a lot over grades. I never know how hard an instructor might grade.

Is a 3.5 88%?  That's going to be difficult with absolutely no physics background.

On a side note I never understood why some universities grade out of 4.  What happened to using percents?  That is what my school did and it makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I just mean like my semester long GPA. So I need to keep at least a 1:1 ration between my A's and B's. If my three other courses were an A I would be able to work with a C in E.P. I've never gotten a grade that wasn't and A in Math or Chemistry since I started College. Then again my education courses most other semesters give me easy-mode A's. :lol:

Some of the rotational stuff gets a little tricky in physics I.  Physics II had the highest failure rate of any first year engineering course at my school.  Personally I did better in physics II than I though so it's hard to say.  The magnetism unit is relatively difficult in physics II.

So, if I were on Kahn academy, sections called "Moments, Torque, and Angular Momentum" and "Electricity and Magnetism" would be the harder sections of the two courses?

You can click on the sections to see what is included inside each.

I don't have my syllabus for next semester though, it's the only one that isn't posted yet. :shrug:

You'll have to offset that to line up at 0,0. That is centered at 0,0





what would i offset it by?  I tried it out and it works nearly well.  I get 4 points kind of close together and then 3 kind of spread out.  its a little more equally distanced with n starting at 1.

Hey thank you everyone for the suggestions (even the salary side-arguments lol). This has been super helpful. Sloth I will definitely keep you in mind should I have math questions on this very fun road ahead.

Id really love to see an ongoing subforum here for people to chat about what theyre learning, post coding, math equations, etc.. that stuff is so cool. Honestly all this academic talk has jazzed up my neurons, got me all kindsa fuzzy/. Keep it going i could read this stuff all day!!

You should start with a Schaum's Outline Guide of Precalculus.  They are only about $10 and they have a lot of solved problems.  that should help you learn some concepts because they usually have all the common type problems solved. 

In fact you can get it for next to nothing on Amazon (used)  here's a link...

http://www.amazon.com/Schaums-Outline-PreCalculus-2nd-Series/dp/0071508643

The Schaums outlines of Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus are good too.

Through algebra? It's honestly self explanatory to me, but what are you trying to learn. I'll try and help you out, but every program including everything on your phone does basic algebra for you.

If you know computer programming or what you are trying to self teach then you pretty much know algebra. It's just assigning variables. Nothing more.



there is a little more to college level algebra ;-)

group theory etc. Heh

isnt as pleasant as it sounds / for addicts, only math addicts

same with college level Calculus, good luck learning that by yourself unless you spend a lot of time on it
Calculus is usually proof based
you must know the proof of everything you do

there are no easy proofs in math, and Calculus is there just to teach you that

if you are not a mathematician, you must enjoy pain to some extent to enjoy calculus/algebra
calculus is pretty cool, but algebra was pure pain

if I should recommend some useful maths: linear algebra!
balance between being hard to learn/usefulness ... it is the easiest math you can learn that is useful for a lot of things IMO
you can keep learning it your whole life
love it... its the only math I really love I think, but calculus is pretty cool at times too

there is a matrix for everything, you will dream of matrices
you might be a matrix yourself in a vector space, transforming everything around you

if I projected you over in another universe you would be half the size of here maybe, and up might be down
in other universes you would be round/cylindrical / look really weird maybe

thats why you should read linear algebra

I'm the opposite. I dominated algebra. I hardly ever went to class or studied. It was almost intuitive and I managed to pull off As all around. I struggled for Bs in calc. I'm talking calculus tutor videos, endless chapter reviews, hours spent studying and I never missed a class. I really enjoyed the material though. Shit was just difficult.

college=university right?, Im not in the US

anyway, calculus is cool, lots of applications
algebra, no applications ;-)

at least the course I took

its just the proofs that can be a bit hard at times in calculus maybe, the math work is pretty straightforward, you should almost know it beforehand

I don't know programming any more but

n=0-6

Sin(360/7•n)=x/10
Cos(360/7•n)=y/10
Or
10•Sin(360/7•n)=x
10•Cos(360/7•n)=y

You'll have to offset that to line up at 0,0. That is centered at 0,0





what would i offset it by?  I tried it out and it works nearly well.  I get 4 points kind of close together and then 3 kind of spread out.  its a little more equally distanced with n starting at 1.




Hmm. Is your sin function in degrees or radians? It think if you offset the x by -10 it would would start at 0,0.  If sin and cos use radians then change 360/7 to 2π/7.

if you love programming, linear algebra/fourier transforms is what you should be studying, will blow your mind

its the only math you need to know as a programmer really

no other math course will help you as much as a programmer
you can code games in opengl, they are usually built around vector spaces / matrices in a vectorspace
or picture programs where you can draw shapes etc. via matrices (most picture programs use linear algebra)

or jpeg compression, also matrices

and if you want to read quantum mechanics one day, its almost 100% linear algebra
if you know linear algebra and PDEs, it should be fun to play with

as a programmer you should learn fourier transformations too ofc, lots of applications in everything
mp3 encoding, any sound program almost

mpeg4 / h264 wouldnt exist without linear algebra, so you wouldnt be able to watch tv
without linear algebra/fourier transforms no youtube and no music files online (mp3)

the only way to learn is to get a book, you cant really learn it as good from the internet

lol because of my audio background i actually know alot more about signal analysis and wave phyics than fucking high school geometry.

i've been working alot lately with 3d css animations so the geometry thing is fucking me.

Teamkiller, I'm pretty sure the angle should be in radians. That's why the distribution was off.

No it isn't. Its a whole range of disciplines but if you want to do quantum physics you better have your shit together in statistical analysis and partial differential equations.

cool i got most of the animation working today (err the positioning is a little fucked for other reasons).  when i finish it up i'll link to codepen.

i don't even know what radians is orhow javascript handles sin/cos, but i'll sound smart as fuck when this topic inevitably comes up in the future.
