Last week I spent a few days trying to get through the final exercise in the section Gradient and Directional Derivatives, so I was happy when I got through it on my first attempt this past Tuesday. I’m glad that I now have a decent understanding of HOW to solve the directional derivative but am still pretty lost on WHY it… Read More Week 197 – June 6th to June 11th

I spent this entire week working through the single section Gradient and Directional Derivatives but still don’t really know what’s going on. 😒 I ended up watching all seven videos in the section and made it through two of three exercises, but struggled with and didn’t make it through the third exercise. I got a fairly decent… Read More Week 196 – May 30th to June 5th

I got less work done this week than I have in a long time on KA, but I’m still happy-ish with how the week went, overall. I only made it through four videos and a single exercise which feels quite disappointing, BUT, as you’ll see below, most of my week was spent working on what’s… Read More Week 195 – May 22nd to May 29th

I first started Multivariable Calculus in Week 185 and made it through 2% of the course by the end of that week. Until this week, in terms of achieving Mastery Points and bumping up that 2%, I hadn’t made any more “progress” until this week. I am now officially 5% of the way through the course! 😤 I finished… Read More Week 194 – May 15th to May 21st

I only made it through four of six articles this week so I still didn’t make it through the first unit in MC. I only wrote out 12 pages of notes this week which seems pretty pitiful, and yet I also feel like I learned/worked through a TON of stuff. I probably could have spent… Read More Week 193 – May 8th to May 14th

I had another solid week working through the first unit in Multivariable Calculus. Looking back through my notebook, I didn’t write many notes but I definitely got a better understanding of where MC is heading and on what I think are some of the fundamental concepts that will be used. I ended up watching the 12… Read More Week 192 – May 1st to May 7th

FINALLY! After what feels like forever, I finally had a week of studying where I feel like I got a lot done and actually made some decent progress through KA. 😮‍💨 It took me until Thursday to wrap up the 3B1B Essence of Linear Algebra playlist and by the end of it I felt like I had a WAY… Read More Week 191 – Apr. 24th to Apr. 30th

I made it to the final video in the Essence of Linear Algebra playlist from 3B1B this week but only made it halfway through that final video. My entire week was essentially spent working on understanding the topic of the 12th video which had to do with a concept known as Cramer’s Rule. The sad part is after… Read More Week 190 – Apr. 17th to Apr. 23rd

I feel like I didn’t get much done this week but did get a solid grasp on what’s known as ‘the determinant’ in linear algebra. Although I’m bummed I didn’t learn about much else, I think the determinant of matrices will be really important to understand going forward so I’m happy to now better understand… Read More Week 189 – Apr. 10th to Apr. 16th

I essentially made zero progress on Multivariable Calculus this week, but I still had a fairly productive week and am pretty happy with what I was able to learn. My goal was to get through the next few sections of the first unit in MC and I didn’t even make it through the first one, Dot Products. I… Read More Week 188 – Apr. 4th to Apr. 9th
