I had an absolute terrible start to this week but managed to claw it back on Saturday and Sunday and ended up achieving my goal of watching all the remaining eight videos in the Vector Dot- and Cross-Product section. That said, I didn’t make notes on the final two videos I watched and found them very confusing.… Read More Week 257 – July 29th to Aug. 4th

Unfortunately, unlike Week 254 and 255, this past week was very unproductive for me. 😔 I only made it through three videos on KA and had to go back and rewatch all three vids multiple times. The concept that was taught in the first video feels very unintuitive to me and so it took me… Read More Week 256 – July 22nd to July 28th

I’m happy to say I had another productive week on KA! Having two productive weeks in a row feels pretty good and I’m hopeful I’ll be able to keep this momentum, going forward. I made it through seven videos on KA, but I also watched nine videos from the Essence of Linear Algebra playlist by 3Blue1Brown on… Read More Week 255 – July 15th to July 21st

This was the most productive week I’ve had on KA that I’ve literally had in months. To be fair, since I’m at the very beginning of the Linear Algebra course, all the videos and exercises I got through were incredibly straightforward, so it was very easy and I didn’t have any major insights or breakthroughs. Not to… Read More Week 254 – July 8th to July 14th

Just like every week over the past few months, I had quite a slow start to this week but am happy to say that I pulled it back over the weekend and (I think) I studied for at least five hours. 💪🏼 I ended up finishing off the Course Challenge (which I’m SUPER happy about) but got… Read More Week 253 – July 1st to July 7th

I got my ass kicked this week KA-wise and health-wise. 😒 I got through a whopping FIVE questions on the course challenge, getting 4/5 correct which is the only thing I can be ‘proud’ of this week. I also didn’t watch any videos from the Steve Brunton playlist I talked about in my last two posts. So… Read More Week 252 – June 24th to June 30th

Although I got my butt kicked this week on KA trying to get through the Multivariable Calculus Course, I’m happy with my overall effort this week and what I was able to learn. I only got through seven questions on the C.C. but watched five videos from the Engineering Math: Vector Calculus and Partial Derivative Equations playlist made by… Read More Week 251 – June 17th to June 23rd

I’m incredibly relieved to say that this was the best week I’ve had on KA in literally months. I FINALLY finished the Green’s, Stokes’, and the Divergence Theorems unit test and, even more surprisingly, actually think I’ve gotten over the hump of understanding the gradient, curl, and divergence operations in vector calculus. The tipping point came after… Read More Week 250 – June 10th to June 16th

This week compared to the past few weeks wasn’t too bad. I didn’t study for five hours which is always my goal, so in that sense it was a fail, but I made it through a bunch of videos and three exercises, AND surprised myself by getting the correct solution to all the questions in… Read More Week 249 – June 3rd to June 9th

I had another pitiful, write-off type of week on KA. I watched eight videos and attempted one exercise on Green’s Theorem but didn’t pass the exercise. I’ll go into more detail below, but I still don’t have a great understanding of what the hell is happening with G.T. which is super disappointing considering I’ve been… Read More Week 248 – May 27th to June 2nd
