It was a decent week for me studying LA but not spectacular. I only made it through six videos from the Linear Algebra playlist by Dr. Trefor Bazett, and I didn’t learn anything that was all that noteworthy, BUT I still got a lot of solid practice doing and understanding matrix multiplication and had some… Read More Week 262 – Sept. 2nd to Sept. 9th

I literally made zero progress on KA this week and yet it was one of the most productive, enjoyable and motivating weeks I’ve had in a LONG time. As I mentioned at the end of my post last week, this week I decided to watch the Linear Algebra playlist by Dr. Trefor Bazett on YouTube.… Read More Week 261 – Aug. 26th to Sept. 1st

I had a pitiful week working on KA. I made it through one video, then began a second and was getting my ass kicked so badly that I stopped watching. And that’s where my week ended on KA… I feel like the math that’s being used in LA isn’t too difficult to understand – it’s… Read More Week 260 – Aug. 19th to Aug. 25th

I had a pretty weird week on KA. I was more busy than usual with other things and didn’t spend nearly enough time on KA from Tuesday to Friday. I tried to make up for it on Saturday and Sunday but didn’t have much success. I made it through five videos and understood something like… Read More Week 259 – Aug. 12th to Aug. 18th

My goal is always to study on KA for five hours which I’m not sure if I managed to do this week, but I made some decent progress, nonetheless! I finished the section Vector Dot and Cross Products, then made it through the entire section Matrices for Solving Systems by Elimination (but to be fair, it was only… Read More Week 258 – Aug. 5th to Aug. 11th

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
