Let’s get down to business here.
This post is how I aced math.
Now I’m not sure about you; but I royally sucked at math in Middle School (and quite a bit of high school too). I usually barely scraped a C if I was lucky and well; I didn’t get it.
I had no clue what I was doing, I kind of could follow the teacher, but that’s it.
So this is pretty much exclusivily for math use (and perhaps physics and chemistry) and we’ll just go through this system, so bear with me.
We’re going to start out with Differentiation (instantaneous rate of change of a function or the tangent line of a funtion at any given point)
Exhibit A. The system is fairly self-explanatory; All I did was mark up the different sources where all my numbers came from and then continue with those numbers.
OK, easy enough. Now introducing the pink pen, also known as my newest best friend in probability and explaining where mathematical rules come from
See those odds? That’s why we don’t gamble. 258 combinations to get 5 out of 6 right out of over 13 million total options of balls taken out.
While this example is fairly simple, it does get the point across and you can imagine what it’ll look like later on for more complicated calculations.
The pink bright pen’s job is to explain all the shit that you are calculating, because in statistics the numbers will get more abstract and you will have (partial) results of equations going into others.
It’s helpful to have a different (vibrant) color that pops out so when you’re doing a review you don’t need to decipher the abstractness of the calculations. An additional benefit is that it forces you to understand what you are calculating.
Alrighty, that wraps things up for this small guide, hope that you find my RPM (Rainbow Puke Method) helpful. Feel free to shoot me a question if you want more details
