Is Khan Academy a good place to learn Math?

kill yourself

Did I tickle something there? The truth is hard, right OP?

It's excellent, although I prefer to use it as a supplement to go with various exercises from math books. Personally I think it really excels at breaking things down and putting complex ideas across simply, Sal's a really solid teacher.

You're trying too hard.

Khan Academy, patrickJMT, Paul's Math Notes Lamar, and MIT OCW serve the purpose of the lecture portion of a subject. You still need to get a standard college textbook and do at least EOO for homework, and download some old test from any school to make sure you can do the material. You can cover the first two years of math and physics with the resources above. If you like math there are now PDE, complex variables, and two probabilty courses online for your learning, as well as a decent into proofs course.

My friend did all the above and has been taking upper division math and EE courses at UC Irvine through Extension and has been doing well.

I bet 90% of what you wrote can also be applied to you, pathetic piece of shit.

It actually started expanding the curriculum again this year, not by much but I suppose we could at least have calculus 2 there by the end of the year

wtf r u talking about

It's a good way of tracking of your progress, but you'll probably need to supplement Khan Academy with other resources. It's great if you're autodidact (self taught) type. A Google-search-Khan-Academy combo will get through high school and some of college math (depending on the college program).

I'm pretty sure MIT OCW is the best for upper level maths.

Are there any other decent course work + lecture classes for upper level maths that are comparable to OCW?

mit ocw is great for lower level college math, and its best as a standalone desu. for higher clases, theres not much more than references and some notes

lol kill yourself

Veeky Forums in a nutshell

Yes but it help to always supplement with other material. The Khan Academy math missions will determine what level you're at, where you need additional practice, and what your gap in knowledge are. It will keep throwing math problems, with hints and solutions if you get stuck, until you've mastered a particular skill. Right now there are around 1100 skills to master. There's a lock down timer on mastering skills to avoid cramming, so that what you learn is more efficiently encoded into your long-term memory. Though you can circumvent this timer by doing alot of practice questions.

The most important part of math is to burn the foundation into your head, so that you don't come back a year later struggling with high school concepts again. Khan Academy will help you identify the bad habits that keep resurfacing and iron them out over time.

All in all the math missions are pretty addictive. They're basically an early prototype for a math rpg experience.

Understanding and being able to apply math laws, analyzing proofs and using them to verify answers, and replacing algebraic terms with numbers helped me understand math beyond memorizing tricks to solving questions. I'd say alot of the problems people have in math stems from not being taught the 'why' instead of the 'how'. I would suggest textbooks, if they weren't all written like Wikipedia articles.

Complex Variables course - important for controls.

what's that?

Elaborate? I can't keep practicing a skill?

look at this faggot

I'm pretty sure I'm waayy too late to start a career path so it's not a problem.

heh, I remember one of my math teachers couldn't care less about explaining shit to me, I kept asking questions to the points I didn't get and he got all pissed at me
"You pick the damn book and you read it"
Kinda felt bad afterwards.

anyway

You know, you're right. Also this is kinda looking easier and less scary that I though it would.
I have to make it a habit of practising everyday

>Elaborate? I can't keep practicing a skill?
You can practice how many times you want, it just doesn't tick the "Mastered" title on the skill and the system keeps delivering that particular skill until you've mastered it.

That is some strong projection you've got there bud. Treating Veeky Forums as a form of therapy isn't healthy m8.

You probably shouldn't use it as your only resource if you're majoring in math or physics or something math heavy, but it is still explained very simply and clearly, and can be a helpful reference.
My friends that had to take calculus for their biology, kinesiology, or other subjects lighter in math, found that Khan Academy was more than enough for them to do well in their courses.

No it's shit.

If you know arithmetic and basic algebra just buy the aops intro to problem solving vol 1 and 2 and solve all the shit in there. You'll have a more solid grasp on math than most people and can learn calculus easy and start doing some higher level competition problems.

End yourself

Don't mind the angry ones

I agree. It's not worth getting upset because the student crybabies don't have a /college/ chit chat forum on Veeky Forums.

but i can't find volume 2 online senpai

LOL
