How were you able to determine what level you were at?
- pault 8y agoI started at precalculus and worked my way back until I found a video that didn't assume I already knew something I don't already know.
- ambicapter 8y agoCould be that you know a lot of maths at a higher level than that, but your education just has a lot of holes in it.
- pault 8y agoIf only that were true. :) I only know cross multiplication and basic arithmetic, excepting long division.
- jahbrewski 8y agoWe all start somewhere! One of the beauties of math is it’s hierarchical structure. Once you figure out where you’re at, it’s just a matter of progressing further up the hierarchy of abstraction (spoken by someone who has only made it to Calculus in the hierarchy)
- mrkstu 8y agoI run into this every time I help my kids with their math homework- even for subjects I thought I had learned comprehensively their curriculum covers branches/approaches I've never seen before, down to elementary school work.
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoThat was my experience. I took through calculus in high school, but that was a lot of years ago. I discovered my trig and logs were very weak, and started back at algebra 2 and worked my way forward. A lot of it was review, but a lot of it felt completely new to me.
- scarecrowbob 8y agoI'm in the middle of a very similar experience.
