A Few more for you
Authored by: hAckz0r on Wednesday, April 17 2013 @ 03:34 PM EDT
When I was in my undergrad I took a math class that was perhaps one of the first videotaped courses in the country (showing my age here?). It was horrible! The instructor was not very clear, the TA was unobtainable and just didn't care, and the required book was definitely under par.

Needless to say, that if the courses were going to be like that I was wasting my time. This turned me off from math in general and I avoided it like the plague for many years, that is until I needed it to enter into my masters program. I was able to get good grades in all the prerequisites, to get in the program, and then left it all behind once again.

These courses do a much better job, because there has now been many years of research in how to teach this stuff effectively, and the teachers here _do_ care; Proof being in that they even volunteer their own hard work as open courseware for others to learn and benefit from. They earned my respect and I am now consuming everything I can get my hands on (time permitting).

Now I am working on a new unification theory and I am teaching myself what I need from relativity and thermodynamics, and I am now kicking myself (hard) for all those wasted years that I had avoided math. So much time wasted, because if I had those skills now I could be publishing my paper already. I don't have deep enough pockets to hire the kind of mathematician I need, nor do I know anybody who can do it, much less tutor it, so I just need to do this the hard way.

A word to the wise, get all the education you can while you are young enough to benefit fully from it! -- a professional student, me.

Just so you know, I greatly admire anyone trying
