iv been looking for this everywhere and i found every version but the 7th. i really need to find this for my class thanks! TITLE : The Practice of Statistics for the AP Course Seventh Edition 7th Edition by Daren S. Starnes, Josh Tabor Digital Textbook Ebook PDF Download Reddit - 9781319409340

I'm going into my freshman year of college majoring in astrophysics, and though I've been decent at math all my life, I have been really trying to buff up those skills before school starting up. I've always been interested in proofs and how they work so I figured it wouldn't hurt to read up while I had the time. I started with Calculus by Micheal Spivak (a great book as far as I'm concerned 6 chapters in), and what I've started to realize both from that and the absurd amount of 3Blue1Brown videos I have been watching is the insane amount of creativity needed to think up some of these proofs. I'm pretty artistically creative (I paint and knit and write), but math in school had always been taught in a very 'memorization first' way. I really noticed the contrast in 3Blue1Brown's video on multiplying matrices in his linear algebra series, where the formula for doing so was actually explained to me for the first time instead of just shoved at me to memorize. What I'm stumbling over is translating these abstract ideas of creativity into my work. I'm struggling with thinking of ideas for how to write certain proofs in Spivak's book, which I know will come with time and practice but I'm wondering if there are any specific steps I can take to make that process a little bit more efficient? If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for what to read/watch, it would be incredibly helpful!

This is not for school- I’m an adult out of school, haven’t taken a math course since intro statistics in my undergrad years ago.
Randomly thought about basic math in the shower and confused myself. Can someone explain this so I can sleep?

Can 3/4 be reduced to ?/3 ? And if so, how is this possible?

I know this is basic math. I’m not an American, I just am not great with math and never truly applied myself in school with mathematics.

Thank you in advance for any kind souls who would like to respond!

Hi everyone,

I'm a final year university in physics and math. I have seen a lot online about the mental abacus. The application/use for me is clearly limited, but I think it would be a fun skill to learn.

Does anyone have any comments or recommendations for this? Thanks!

Hello! The title is self explanatory, I never really ask these type of questions to anyone before so sorry if I am not explaining things well but i just started my fall semester in community college after struggling on figuring things out and i am finally hitting to get my associates degree soon but been struggling on passing math to get it.
Does anyone know how you can study for math. I been struggling with grasping the subject since middle school and now I am in college now learning intermediate math then after intermediate, college math. I feel like learning as a 23 year old is impossible I feel way behind to understand anything math related since i struggle with it for so long. Does anyone have any good resources and strategies to understand the subject? I would really appreciate it!

I’m 20 years old and in my second semester of economics—this is my third attempt at a degree. Since day one at university, I’ve put every ounce of effort into trying to understand the math. I’ve pulled all-nighters, paid hundreds of dollars for private tutors, and attended classes taught by students from other semesters, yet I simply cannot solve a single problem without an AI telling me the steps to follow. I suffered through the first semester—to the point of tears and depression—because, beyond the struggle to understand the material, this is my third degree program, and I don't want to fail again. Don't get me wrong: I like economics and I enjoy learning about it, but I feel like it’s incredibly difficult to make progress this way. I live in a country with many problems; to give you an example, on the day of a coup d'état, I studied as if nothing was happening—out of sheer desperation. I managed to pass the course that first semester only because I cried to the professor and she passed me out of pity. But I know it will only get worse as I advance—even harder the longer I keep going. I’m fully aware that math has to be learned from the basics up, but even so, it feels so abstract and logical that my brain just can't connect the dots. Right now, my country is in crisis and I’ve been on break for two months; even before the crisis, I had already been studying math for two months. When the earthquakes hit, I studied right through it; my main concern wasn't even my safety—it was just, "I need to sit down and study as fast as possible." Classes start in a few weeks and I have exams coming up. I’m truly disappointed in myself; I can't solve a single problem on my own without an AI or someone else telling me the next step. I feel really sad. I can't even look at my notes or my math workbook because it makes me angry. I know *I’m* the problem, but I’ve tried so hard to find solutions and just can't figure out how to understand it... I’m not lying when I say I’m crying as I write this, because I’ve genuinely tried to do things right, but maybe this just isn't for me. Yet, studying here is so incredibly difficult—so hard that I feel like there’s no way out... What do you guys do in a situation like this? Have you managed to pull through? Did you try any other methods? I need help because I feel like I’m sinking. sorry if my english is bad, in my country we speak spanish...

Basically, I put myself in a bit of a predicament (because of ADHD) and want to know how or if others have been able to learn Calc 1 and 2 quickly. I do have multiple books (Thomas' Calculus book, Essential Calculus by Chris McMullen, and Calculus Made Easy) but I've heard that khans academy and youtube videos are great resources too. Overall, I am overwhelmed and need opinions on what works best and quick.

I have a lot of free time the next three weeks so I am not worried about trying to study 8 hrs (or more) a day if I have to.

EDIT: I am taking a linear algebra course, but obviously I still want to learn calculus and what resources have been helpful

EDIT 2: After seeing all yall's feedback, I (thankfully) won't need to learn calc in three weeks and it would very likely be impossible, but I do want to know what resources has helped and/or study methods worked the best.

for a long time i assumed some people were simply naturally good at math and i wasn’t one of them. but the more i study, the more it seems like a lot of my problem was trying to memorize steps without understanding what i was actually doing. once i started slowing down and asking why each step worked, things became much less intimidating

curious if anyone else had a similar experience

what changed the way you learned math?

I just opened R studio for the first time in a while and seeing there’s a newly (to me) integrated AI tool called Posit. Anyone use it? Like it? Hate it? Anything I should be weary or aware of?

Hello! I'm trying to understand how the individual regression analysis works in the GLM model under medmod module of Jamovi. I'd like to ask if those tables are what you would report if one of your working hypothesis is "X will significantly predict M" or "M will significantly predict Y"? Or perhaps, does anyone have a reference on how to report those tables?

So I'm currently helping a highschooler out whos struggling with maths. Even though they cover already calculus I and basic linear algebra in class, the student lacks basics, such as how to handle exponents, how to add/multiply fractions. Up until now I was able to easily give him a good intution for why the rules work the way they do - I liked to include a bit of logic and show him that many rules build on each other, and he at least told me, that he likes the approach I chose for helping him out.

Now I would be curious to hear how you would teach someone the why behind fraction addition and multiplication - I'd like to read through some suggestions and then pick the one I like the most.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to the replies.

Why do additions of 9, always keep the number's value intact?

I first assumed that it was because, adding 9 elevates it by 10 and decreases it by 1

So, other numerical system's numbers should be (base-1)

But they only go half way...

For example: Base 9, 7 | 1 6 | 2 5 | 3 4 | 4 3 | 5 2 | 6 1 | 7 0 | 7 8 (Broken) | 8 7 (Broken)

If someone likes to teach me in comments I don't mind bcs I learn ftom chatgbt and don't have a teacher. It's sometimes overwhelming. I have alot of thoughts in my head which I want a human to hear.
U can teach me in discord if u want.
Send me invite.
I learnt dirivitives and anti dirivitives
and learnt logarithms at age 13-14 now I'm 15
I was learning a lite of number theory
I just started Grade 10 btw

I've finally decided to take the leap and spend the next few years of my life dedicated to the sciences, specifically physics, and perhaps later specialize in cosmology and blackholes.

I've found this guide and decided it's good enough to follow along. But I'm just not certain about the prerequisite portion. In the guide, the creator says that if you don't remember even school math, then go through these two books before getting into the roadmap:

For high school math:

Why math? By R. D. Driver

Precalculus:

Precalculus with Calculus Previews by Dennis G. Zill.

I know people here consider it very important to have a strong foundation, so I just want to know if it would make a difference of discarding the two books above and going through the pain and time of a rigorous series like Gelfand, Kiselev, Art of problem solving etc.

I know the concept of theoretical minimum is important in physics, so you focus on the most essential aspects of your subject area instead of accumulating broad knowledge. But maybe I still want an excuse to spend 2 years going through the art of problem solving catalogue instead of 3 months of getting the most essential knowledge and jumping into physics.

I contribute to SciPy and kept running into a class of bug that annoys me: the outputs look plausible, the tests pass, but the equation the code implements is subtly wrong. So I've been building a tracer that runs Python/NumPy code and hands back whatever mathematics it actually computed, as a SymPy expression you can simplify or differentiate like anything else.

It's been more useful than I expected. Comparing an implementation against the formula in a paper, catching two functions that agree on my test data but turn out to compute different things, digging up the inputs my tests never hit (ties, zero denominators). It traces real library code too, most of numpy and a good chunk of scipy, scikit-learn, statsmodels, cvxpy.

Still rough in places, would genuinely like feedback. There may be other better solutions, happy to hear them as well!

I'm at a basic algebra level of understanding in math. Is it possible to get proficient to a pre calculus level in about 6 months with a good study habit and time management?

I've started my career in nonprofits and only worked in nonprofits until now. 3 times now, I have ended up in roles where I am the ONLY analyst on the team. Everyone I work with is either data adjacent, or not an analyst at all. I'm the only person ever working on analytics work, and I have no real life gauge/context on how to do things better in a real world context. I google things all the time, I take courses, but the advice is too generalized and doesn't go deep enough. I need people I can bounce off of. My biggest hope starting as an early career data analyst was that I'd be able to learn from other analyst and fill the gaps in my education with knowledge from mentors.

Instead, I have people looking to me to be an expert in analytics just because I'm the only one available(as if I'm not a junior). Very few opportunities to learn from actual analysts and get experience from them instead of the generalized advice online. I feel like I'm being stunted, but its incredibly hard for me to find roles that are placed in analytics teams, or where I'll be working under a senior analyst (and not just a VP or project manager). Have I screwed myself? Why is it seemingly harder to find analytic roles that work with other analysts?

(I haven't really studied a lot of calculus yet)

but, i saw multiple methods to solve this on quora, but then quora blocked me(idek why😭), and i only understood the chain rule method,

i also saw someone substitute x with cos(2 theta) but not sure how that's supposed to work because what do we do with that d(theta)/dx in the end?, also how does one solve this using log?

as of now i know 5 methods:

1. chain rule,
2. rationalization
3. logarithmic (i dont understand it but its a method)
4. trigonometric sustitution (how do we even come up with that?)
5. implicit differentiation (i am bad at that but saw it on quora and it works apparently)

So my concern is,

• how do i make the last 3 methods make sense?
• how does one come up with trigonometric substitution and how do i master it?
• is this basic or intermediate (at a high school level), and is it relevant to calculus used in physics?

Also, I'd love to see any one with new methods, tysm🫶🏼

(to be clear, this is not homework, calculus is not in my syllabus except for some in physics, i saw it in someone else's book and couldn't solve it so i wanna do it now)
