How many pages of a math or physics book can you read in one day?

[Limitcel]

And how many problems can you solve in one day?

I feel so slow i have to confess that I always skip the easier exercises and maybe I haven't developed such good mechanisms for solving problems because of this. Should I do several exercises, even if obviously, just to activate neural networks in my head and be able to reason better that way? (idk if really does) Anyway, it's over, in 4 months I have the test of my life and I'm not even in 20% of the required subject yet

How is your study? (your guys are the ones who post the most on the math thread so I imagine you know something)

i enjoy reading maths books but i absolutely can't solve math problems, simply have not a knack for this. I can understand theory and reason about theorems and shit but when it comes to real stuff i'm hopeless

but i can read 40-60 pages if i'm really interested

I have an impression that it's almost a talent, these Chinese or Indian mfs perceive things hidden 10 steps away from rationalization while I struggle to find any similarity in a problem to other more basic problems (simplification and complication)

40-60 pages in one day? my limit should be 20 skipping the exercises

Like what? What's the real stuff?

 

[niggers]

0 because I'm not Asian (thank god)

 

[Limitcel]

That's why I say that being asian or Indian is not as bad as they say here, maybe you don't fuck that much pussy but you can be smart enough to pass difficult tests and get a good jobs

mfs here think that life is just pussy

actually solving problems, i can follow mathematical proofs, reason about theorems, see some missed logical steps in explanations etc, but if you have me sit at a blank sheet of paper and do something like "prove that some mathematical object has this specific property" - im going to fail most of the time

Prove that 3 is an odd natural number.

well it depends on the subject, for example maths in CS is relatively simple, but with calculus or some arcane black magic shit i would have to slow down obviously

fuck this happens so much, how tf these mfs can think these solution? the worst part is that the tests give you a maximum of 10 to 20 minutes for each problem or even less, as if I were capable of rationalizing this whole shit in a few minutes, choosing the best notation and the best data organizationI'm already accepting that it's all genetic

Prove that 3 is an odd natural number.

2n = 3 has no integer roots, 2n + 1 = 3 has exactly one or something along those lines

2n = 3 has no integer roots, 2n + 1 = 3 has exactly one or something along those lines

No even divisors, but good enough. 2 does not divide 2n+1 for any n>0.

i have no clue what the fuck you just said, but agreed.

That's a physics problem. I guess that does make it real in some sense.

Gravity is a myth bro. A theory...

A better exercise would be to find the volume or find out the strength of various shell materials...

Just saying...

How many pages of a math or physics book can you read in one day?

And how many problems can you solve in one day?

depends on my familiarity with the material and the difficulty.

physics ain't my strong suit, so probably not that many

I feel so slow i have to confess that I always skip the easier exercises and maybe I haven't developed such good mechanisms for solving problems because of this. Should I do several exercises, even if obviously, just to activate neural networks in my head and be able to reason better that way?

here's a variation on an adage that struck a chord in me: "if an exercise is truly so easy, it shouldn't take that much time/effort to make"

 

[DepravedAndDeprived]

I usually skip the easy exercises if I'm confident that I can do it and that it won't teach me anything, tbh.
