I didn’t pass the Series unit test this week. 😡 I had one attempt at it and got through it relatively quickly but got four questions wrong. I felt like I had a better grasp on the questions this week than I did last week which was a relief, but I’m still pretty disappointed that after 14… Read More Week 182 – Fourteen Weeks of Series: Slowly Connecting the Dots

I didn’t get much done this week. 😔 Looking back through my notebook, I wrote 22 pages of notes which is ok but, compared to usual, that isn’t nearly as much as I usually do. I watched most of the remaining videos from Series that I needed to get through and finished the single exercise I needed… Read More Week 181 – 22 Pages of Notes, One More Week of Series, and a Better Understanding

I got rocked this week and didn’t get close to hitting my goal of getting through the Series unit test. I almost felt like I went backwards. 🤬 I only made it through the unit test once and got 9 questions wrong. I’m pretty sure the questions I got on my first attempt last week were easier than… Read More Week 180 – Getting Rocked by Series—and Starting to See the Bigger Picture

I finished the unit test for Series this week getting 15/20 correct. Even though that’s probably one of my worst scores at a unit test, I was actually somewhat happy with how the unit test went. My intuitive understanding of what was going on in most of the questions was better than what I thought it would… Read More Week 179 – Series: A Disappointing Score, but Real Progress

I finally made it to the unit test of Series this week but things didn’t go very well. I made it through 7 questions on the test and got 1 wrong. More of a disappointment than getting a question wrong was that of the 6 questions I got correct, I didn’t know what the hell I was… Read More Week 178 – Three Months of Series—and Still Out of My Depth

I should go back and see how many weeks in a row I’ve said something along the lines of, “my progress this week was very slow.” This week was more of the same. 😔 I made it through 4 videos and 1 exercise but am still struggling to understand what the hell is going on. I can’t… Read More Week 177 – Power Series: When the Math Makes Sense but the Concepts Don’t

I’m getting more and more frustrated as the weeks go on as I still can’t visualize what’s happening with series. Whenever I feel like I’m making progress and starting to get a handle on what’s happening, I watch another video and everything I think I understand falls apart. It feels like I’m trying to juggle… Read More Week 176 – 2.5 Months of Series: Still Trying to See the Bigger Picture

This week was another one where I felt like I was finally starting to get a solid grasp on T-series and T-polynomials and yet at the same time felt just as confused as ever about them. 😔 I do think I’m starting to get a better grasp on how they work, i.e. memorizing the formulas… Read More Week 175 – Taylor Series: Starting to Understand, Then Getting Stuck Again

This week was an interesting one. After 3 weeks I FINALLY made it through the exercise in the section Lagrange Error Bound and, believe it or not, am pretty sure I now understand what I was doing wrong. I then crushed the following section, Power Series Intro, and got through the two vids and 1 exercise in… Read More Week 174 – Three Weeks, One Exercise, and a Much-Needed Breakthrough

The reason I started this website was to post about the things I learned about each week on KA. This week I feel like I didn’t learn anything so I don’t really know what I’m going to talk about here. It wasn’t due to a lack of effort. I probably spent close to 10 hours… Read More Week 173 – Ten Hours, One Exercise, and a Very Frustrating Week
