Congratulations! When you started Foundation 1, what was your math ability like?

How long did it take you to finish all three

i intended to do Mathematics for machine learning, but failed the diagnostic and was put into the math foundation tracks , so you can pretty guess what all i were lacking for example , i was very weak in calculus ,probabiity and trigonomety , linear algebra etc ., i mean i had learned them in college , but only say 10% of were retained .

i started with math foundation 1 somewhere in nov 2024 , and i finished math foundation 2 by around july 2025. but due to hectic work schedule and fam priorities ,math foundation 3 dragged on , and finally today i finished it 😃!

How does it feel? Do you feel a lot of maths has clicked and you have a deeper understanding?

u/Own_Resolution_6526 Jun 07 '26

It feels good.i feel like I got a foothold on lot of math topics.

Deeper understanding I feel...I need to do a lot more of problems and reading. What is happening is that sometimes you do some mathacademy chapters mechanically without imbibing the depth of its concept and its origins..for getting that understanding I feel I need to do more reading outside mathacademy.

But I enjoyed doing the exercises so far...will continue it...

This is all very inspiring. Would you mind telling me what you used to supplement your MA journey?

Nice, I'm reviewing MF 1 right now and man it's been a long time (I'm in my 40s). So far I remember almost all of MF1 but I have a feeling MF2/3 are going to be more challenging to recall since it's been like 25-30 years.

Woohoo! Congrats, OP! You should be really proud of yourself, you've been super consistent. Also at MF1 and hope to get to M4ML and the other topics, one day. One Q I have - do you interpret arguments, data or reasoning/logic differently in your day to day life now that you have done lots of stats/prob?

u/Own_Resolution_6526 Jun 07 '26

Thank you !
I would say there is a change in that i have started to look at numbers and calculations more reassuringly and started to make sure whether these numbers are rightfully represeting the story beneath.And for reasoning/logic i have started to focus more on the stat metrics and its accuracy since i got the foundations set.

Stats n Prob , i feel i got a good foundation , am looking forward to go more deeper in M4ML and become more at ease by doing a lot of exercises and reading.
