It was another poor effort for me this week on KA. 😑 I only made through four videos… I got a better feel for how to solve exact differential equations (i.e. I think I understand the formula/pattern a bit better now), but I made little progress understanding what’s going on, let alone why this type of math works the way it does and… Read More Week 292 – Exact Equations, Slow Progress, and a Long-Awaited Project Reveal
For the first time in a while, I actually had a decent week on KA. I made it through seven videos and one exercise. There were times when I was out of my depth, but for the most part I was able to keep up with and understand what was going on, plus I didn’t… Read More Week 291 – Differential Equations: A Welcome Return to Form
This may have literally been the worst week I’ve ever had on KA. 😒 I probably studied for just under three hours, so that in itself was bad, but I only made it through one exercise and two videos… The exercise kicked my butt until around Friday for a few reasons, but then I started to get… Read More Week 290 – Getting Rocked by Differential Equations, but Finding My Footing
I didn’t spend enough time on KA but, overall, it was still a pretty solid week and I’m happy with the progress I made. I made it through five videos on KA, finished one exercise, and started another. That doesn’t sound too bad, except that the videos were all ~3–8 minutes in length, so I… Read More Week 289 – Euler’s Method, Separable Equations, and a Better Understanding
I managed to get through six videos and two exercises this week which sound pretty good but in reality, I put in a poor effort this week. 😒 I probably only worked on KA for around three hours. I watched a few of them twice, but each of the videos were only about five minutes long, and… Read More Week 288 – Getting Closer to the Finish Line, but Finding It Hard to Focus
It was a good but also bad week for me on KA. I made it through five videos and three exercises which was pretty good, but I spent only ~3 hours studying, which is pretty bad. I was happy to get back to doing exercises which felt like a throw-back. (I can’t remember the last… Read More Week 287 – Differential Equations Begin: Back to Solving Math Puzzles
It was another subpar week for me on KA, BUT I at least finished off Linear Algebra. That’s not saying much though since I only had two videos left to get through… To make things worse, I didn’t really understand much of what those last two videos talked about. 😒 To better understand eigenvectors, eigenvalues, etc., I watched… Read More Week 286 – Linear Algebra Complete! Six Years of Math, and One Course to Go
I got my butt kicked this week on KA. 😔 I only made it through four videos, so I didn’t end up getting through the final section of Linear Algebra. The videos all had to do with eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigen spaces, all of which I thought I had a decent understanding of heading into this week, however… Read More Week 285 – The Final Stretch of Linear Algebra, and the Math Finish Line
I had a good week on KA, although it wasn’t exceptional in any way. I made achieved my goal of getting through six videos and likely studied for a bit more than five hours in total, which is what I always aim for. Most of what I worked through covered what’s called the Gram-Schmidt process… Read More Week 284 – Gram–Schmidt, Eigenvectors, and the Final Stretch of Linear Algebra
It wasn’t a great week for me on KA. 😔 I only made it through five videos and most likely spent less than five hours this week working through them. They weren’t the easiest videos to understand, and I watched a few of them more than once, so it’s not like I didn’t put any effort in. But, nonetheless,… Read More Week 283 – Stretched Thin, but Still Making Progress with Linear Algebra
