It’s just ok. Certainly better than watching some random yt videos or passively reading a tb. For context I did ~11k pts to finish M4ML. It’s a little frustrating to see them chase the money and make ML/programming courses while the core differentiator (lesson quality) is still lacking in the later math topics. There are persistent issues that annoyed me so much that by the end it was like pulling teeth go grind out the points every day.
It has you overfit on the style of questions they ask, and I never felt like I got a good grasp of lots of the later topics despite passing my reviews and quizzes no problem.
- MichaelNolan 2y agoCan you go into more detail about your experience it’s difficult to find negative or critical reviews of MathAcademy. (Well except reviews in the same vein as Paul Lockhart’s A Mathematician’s Lament [1]) I’m taking their Math Foundations 2 now. So far my only two complaints are: 1. Everything feels like a random grab bag of “tricks”. There isn’t a coherent presentation of why this works or why it’s important. 2. Geometry lessons just suck. I don’t blame MathAcademy for this, since they basically follow what would be considered standard American high school geometry curriculum. But after having gone through Euclid’s Elements, everything here just feels empty by comparison. Overall I’m still very happy with the product. They do largely deliver on their promises. https://worrydream.com/refs/Lockhart_2002_-_A_Mathematician's_Lament.pdf https://worrydream.com/refs/Lockhart_2002_-_A_Mathematician'...
- HPMOR 2y agoI know this is extremely pedantic, but I think you mean in the same "vein" instead of "vain".
