I had a VERY productive week on KA and learned a lot but once again didn’t make much progress earning Mastery Points. Most disappointingly, I still didn’t make it through the Line Integrals in Vector Fields section. 😔 I did, however, read four of the five articles from the following section, Line Integrals in Vector Fields (Articles), which helped… Read More Week 217 – Oct. 23rd to Oct. 29th

This week was a bit like the opposite of last week. I actually made it through quite a few videos and a handful of exercises but I felt like I didn’t learn very much. 😒 I was introduced to a concept known as “path independence” and spent the majority of the week trying to wrap my head… Read More Week 216 – Oct. 16th to Oct. 22nd

In terms of getting through videos and exercises, I made very little progress this week on KA but overall, I put in a pretty solid effort and actually learned quite a bit. 😌 I made it through the final article in the section Line Integrals for Scaler Functions (Articles) which took me until the end of Wednesday to finish.… Read More Week 215 – Oct. 9th to Oct. 15th

I had a pretty abysmal week. I started the week reviewing implicit differentiation and after spending ~2 days watching videos, I didn’t really get a better understanding of what, how, or why implicit differentiation works. 😒 The rest of my week was spent reading three articles, all of which had to do with using integrals to find the arc length of… Read More Week 214 – Oct. 2nd to Oct. 8th

This week was a fairly productive one for me working through KA. I FINALLY made it through the Applications of Multivariable Functions unit test which I got through on Tuesday. It turned out not to be too difficult, but I had to do two attempts at it. (I actually got a question wrong on my… Read More Week 213 – Sept. 25th to Oct. 1st

I had a pretty disappointing week on KA. I got through the final three videos and three articles of Applications of Multivariable Derivatives but didn’t start the unit test. I got a much better idea of what constrained optimization is, how it works, and a decent grasp on why it works. A new equation/formula/concept was introduced to… Read More Week 212 – Sept. 18th to Sept. 24th

I had an interesting week working through KA. As you’ll see below, I only made it through four questions/concepts from two articles and six videos but everything I worked on was pretty hard and took a good amount of time and effort for me to understand. I started the week finishing off an article on… Read More Week 211 – Sept. 11th to Sept. 17th

If I was to grade myself for my effort this week I’d give myself somewhere between a B and a B+. I made it through five videos, one exercise and 3.5 articles, and probably studied for ~7–8 hours. Part of me wishes I would have made more progress but I worked through some tricky-ish concepts (some of which… Read More Week 210 – Sept. 4th to Sept. 10th

I’m happy to say that my fifth year working on KA got off to a pretty good start! I didn’t achieve my goal of getting all the way through the section Optimizing Multivariable Functions this week, but managed to get about halfway there. I didn’t take too many notes overall this week but did cover a lot… Read More Week 209 – Aug. 28th to Sept. 3rd

It was another disappointing week working through KA. 😒 I made it through the final article from the section Tangent Planes and Local Linearization and then made it through the first four videos in the following section, Quadratic Approximations, but that’s it. I don’t have much of a grasp on what was taught in the latter section either which makes… Read More Week 208 – August 21st to August 27th
