Why is Math taught like absolute shit in the US and why do so many math resources out there just blatantly suck? I had a horrible time as a kid learning this and I'm trying to reteach myself as an adult and it just fucking sucks. Any tips? Also general educational system failure discussion because the kids coming up now are even more retarded than I was.

Do you have any specific complaints?
Or are you just going to tell me that you can't express them because of your shitty English education?

These are free and pretty decent.

Everything is taught like shit in the United States. For us, education is just practical vocation training. It’s for getting a job. We don’t actually give a shit about being educated.

>>509339232 (OP)
I gave up on it because of the 'show your work' bullshit. Teachers didn't care that I could do shit in my head faster than their way.

>>509339479
No actually I smoked english every year and the english portion of the SAT with ease despite putting in bare minimum effort. My complaint is mainly that the subject is either presented as incredibly dry information overload (your average HS textbook from pearson or mcgraw) or as overly childish and reductive like khan academy where everything has to be rainbows and puppies and take 5 million years to get through a simple concept. The only math books I've encountered that actually taught well were printed pre vietnam war/new math.

That sin bit is retarded without parentheses. Should be 0 as they have it

Go through the textbooks and do all the practise questions, and then do past papers.

Only because you're retarded

but i can't even get a job now with my state-sponsored education. So it's now failed on both fronts.

>>509339232 (OP)
Your issue is that you're assuming the American school system is there to educate. Any learning that occurs is accidental

Math is the reason im not a millionaire surgeon right now

>>509340925
you don't use post-6th grade math at work or elsewhere

99% of what you learn in school is not applicable

>>509339232 (OP)
You need to realize public school isn't for learning, and study on your own. Study grammar, logic and rhetoric, that's what I do, these are the tools of thought, the foundation of all intellectual learning.

Everything algebra and beyond is taught like shit in US high schools because teachers don't have enough time and resources to explain how formulas and functions actually work to 35 kids at once. Out of those 35 maybe a few are actually capable of understanding what a stochastic probability matrix is and why it could be useful to learn it. I barely got by doing quadratic equations because they're actually quite simple and my YouTube tutor is a hottie from Belgium. Boring rigid math teachers were my bane in HS and if only they could have explained to me how transcendental formulas work by going against everything you were taught in traditional math then I would have been a quantum information scientist.

>>509339592
Same.

If a student found the material easy, then they should be introduced to more complex material that is beyond their current ability to compute mentally.

However, the goal of education isn't to to teach the next generation. It's unironically to break your will down until you're willing to tolerate bullshit.

I recall a small text by a Russian author. Something about apples, maybe. Anyway, here's this https://archive.org/details/perelman-algebra-can-be-fun-mir-1979/page/n9/mode/1up

>>509339232 (OP)
Understand the concept of abstraction and it should get easier just imagine you are stuffing instructions and properties into mostly Greek symbols and then you stuff those symbols in more symbols and continue doing it and that’s the basic premise behind abstraction and also math

Can an adult learn math?

>>509342078
This is more like it. At this point I have to throw out anything originally written in english. The french and russian schools of math have historically mogged us so it's probably better to learn from them.

>>509339766
Military manuals are great for learning math especially the basic stuff in a no nonsense adult way and I believe they are public domain

>>509339232 (OP)
As for math I haven't been looking into that very much, but this is a website I like for the content on logic, and he also has stuff about math, might be worth checking out:

https://amateurlogician.com/mathematics-physics/

The only thing I don't like about his website is that always when he reviews a book he posts a link to buy it from amazon, and he says he earns a commission when you buy the book using that link. That makes me wonder if he's being totally honest in his reviews.

>>509342519
I have a manual from the Navy printed out in the 60s. I should probably give that a serious look.

I have the old book on the trivium written by a catholic nun. Part of the issue with math I think is it's divorce from logic and the failure to teach it as deductive logic.

>>509339232 (OP)
American schools got rid of teaching math through proofs and came up with a dumbed down rote learning of math called "new math"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math
I was a victim of it, it ruined my life as I had a lot of potential to do engineering

I still cant figure out how anyone can actually learn enough math from this system to be able to go on to be able to do college level math

>>509343261
I have that book but haven't read it. The book I linked was written by a priest in the 18th century.

I posted some stuff here: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/508076799

I liked math long ago but haven't been interested in it after that. But I saw some stuff about math that interested me, where it was connected to logic, don't know how high level it is. It was something about discreet mathematics and proofs. I think some of the books were on this website:

https://math.libretexts.org/

Anyway my next project is to study Latin, and then later Greek. I downloaded Wheelock's Latin.

Here's a site some anon recommended:

https://freecomputerbooks.com/mathCategory.html

The history of education is interesting. 8-year long school they used to have in Sweden where they studied nothing but Latin and Greek grammar, logic and rhetoric:

Once you get to calculus, it either gets easier or harder.

Math takes a lot of time and dedication to learn, it's like learning a new language...

>Any tips?
You could start taking peptides and or nootropics (not meme ones that are glorified vitamins) like Cerebrolysin, Semax, Dihexa, Isrib (make sure you dont have misfolded prions in you before doing this one, the covid spike protein had a prion like region and if you were infected or vaccinated you may have prion disease, there are cases of people getting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease after getting the covid vax), Epobis, ARA 290, Neboglamine, Tak 653, and Tropisetron to improve your energy, memory, focus, creativity, motivation, mind clarity, and enhance your ability to understand problems. Microdosing LSD and other psychedelics can also bring some of those benefits. They also repair brain damage, including age related degradation, and increase reaction time + hand eye coordination.
You can take them intranasally as well to get more of it directly to your brain, which is especially beneficial for Cerebrolysin since the alternative is injecting it and the recommended dosing that way is 5ml a day which is a lot to inject.
-rupharma.com has cerebrolysin + semax, cosmicnootropic.com has semax
-Science.bio has Dihexa, isrib, and isrib a15
-pglchem.com and isrib.shop have isrib and isrib a15
-jennyschem.com has Ara 290 and Epobis but the 2nd peptide is not listed, you have to email them and ask about Epobis, I confirmed this with someone who bought it from there and posted pics of it + his experiences with it on r*ddit. If you're doubting the legitimacy of this company since they're in China, I recommend you look up reviews of them on r*ddit
-everychem.com has Tak 653, Tropisetron, and Neboglamine
Other good sources include peptidesciences.com, umbrellalabs.is, and amino asylum

>>509345658
You need to get your account approved by the owners of science.bio to purchase things on there, just say you are researching the effects of UV light on degradation of chemicals and look up a bunch of lab and safety equipment on google and say you have that in the approval form.
If you're interested in reading more about these substances I'd recommend the nootopics, peptides, and nootropics subreddits

Another substance you should look into is called Emeramide. From what I've read it's some revolutionary drug that crosses the blood brain barrier that is very good at removing heavy metals from your body and is apparently quite safe, I've read no other metal chelator comes close to it in terms of effectiveness. It was developed by an anti vaxxer to remove mercury from your body that came from vaccines, which I've also read never leaves your body and instead just goes to a different part of it and causes problems there. Removing mercury and other heavy metals that may be in your brain would bring mental benefits to you.
This site was listed by the person I heard about emeramide from on 4pol as a place that sells legit emeramide. I believe he also said 300mg a day is a good dose. You can find his posts by searching up emeramide in the 4plebs /pol/ archives
www.sacredpurity.com

Also look into transcranial direct current stimulation. You can use this to increase or decrease activity in certain parts of the brain, and that can bring benefits like increased focus, memory, mathematical abilities, language learning abilities, creativity, and helping with depression. You can read more about tdcs on the tdcs subreddit

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is another thing that may interest you. It helped this guy being talked about in this video recover from severe brain damage

The peptides SS 31 and Mots C are exercise mimetics that heal your body and reverse kidney disease. They restore mitochondria function and create more mitochondria. You can read reviews of them on reddit, lots of people say it gives them energy. Most people underdose them though, the clinical studies use around 40mg a day for both of them. Recommended cycle length I've seen is 60 days. Its recommended to take supplements alongside them like TMG, NMN or NR, and some others. Just go ask ChatGPT what are some things to take alongside SS31 and Mots C and it'll give you recommendations. Theres also many other peptides like Ara 290, BPC 157, TB500, GHK Cu, and Thymosin Alpha 1 that can heal your body and brain
Here's the vid on the SS31 and Mots C reversing kidney disease. Maybe they could also reverse things like heart disease, vascular disease, eye problems, etc since damaged mitochondria are heavily implicated in the cause of those things. Could also make you smarter as damaged mitochondria can make you dumber

Here's some vetted vendors that sell the above peptides, these are the cheapest prices I've found for them

What is this btw?

>>509339232 (OP)
That's cool you're trying to learn math for yourself as an adult, Anon. Good for you. I would say try to find what interests you about mathematics and focus on specific concepts in that area. Eventually the bigger picture unfolds when you can start connecting concepts. I know for a lot of people they just love math for the process of solving a puzzle or so physics provides satisfaction, understanding truths about the fundamental rules of reality compelled me to spend lot of time on proofs, but that led into trying to understand messy subjects like economics and evolutionary biology so most of my uni coursework was spent on statistics. Then I realized my best hope for providing for a family was software engineering, so no I just argue with retarded jeets all day over a business product I don't give a fuck about.

Look into pic related

Also if you're interested in old logic books (you should be) one anon mentioned this book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-Royal_Logic

The old books are where the good stuff is. I learned from the book I posted here >>509341605 that agent and action are related words, and patient and passion. I had no idea. They don't teach this stuff in school anymore.

Idk, it’s pretty good here. Especially if you get into a math secondary-school or highschool. There are a couple in the country and 2 of them are particulary amazing - the kids there immensly develop their problem-solving skills and knowledge among other subjects (geography, history, chem, bio, IT, physics, etc.). Amerimutts have shittier education than a second-world country.

seems like op didn't really want a discussion, boring thread, anyway I'm going to bed

I feel like way too much time is spent on tedium in grade school, killing the children's interest in the fundamental dynamism of the universe.

Understand what you are learning is a language and way of thinking and measuring the world, not merely "math." It is our tool we use, along with science, to reach out from our individual Platonic-cave like minds and bring in the outside world in ways our shadow-puppet-casting natural senses cannot. If there is a system of symbols which encodes the language of magick, it is only to be found in a mathematics class.

Buy a SwissMicros DM15L or DM41X, and learn math with that. Those calculators (HP-15C and HP-41CX clones) are as close to what an assembly programmer feels as you're going to get in calculators: they are 4 deep stack-register machines which take input in postfix form (RPN), meaning you put the input operand(s) (#s) on the stack then invoke your operator (+-*/...). This is superior to infix input because you will almost never write or store intermediary values to complete a calculation.

Program (it's stupid easy) on it to do numeric integration and solve. How do *you* encode a polynomial function so you can find zeroes, using keypress programming? If you learn how to competently explain the use of 95% of the DM15L, you will have the best introduction to your adult math education that I could think of.

Remember, math is a game: it's a set of rules and then consequent theorems. Math is nothing to fear, but ignorance of math is.
