Took a few weeks off of live streaming, but I'm back tonight! I'll be going live in less than 1 hour to answer any calculus or precalculus or other math questions you have. Be sure to join me, and come with questions! Let's get this brain-train rolling: youtube.com/live/iqW7nnet1h4

See it.
Do it.
Teach it.
That's it.
3 simple steps that you can apply to learn, understand, and eventually master any skill. 3 simple steps you can apply to become a pro at anything.
It might sound crazy, but that's really all it takes. I really believe that.
But still, that's easier said than done, right? I mean it has to be. It can't really be that easy to learn ANYTHING.
Well, it might be easier to apply than you think. Let me tell you why. And more importantly: how?
I'll take the approach of relating this to learning math, but you really can take everything I'm about to share and apply it to learning anything else too.
Step 1: See it
Start by watching someone do a problem. Even better if they can explain what they're doing as they go through the steps of a problem.
I know this isn't news to you. Every math class you've ever taken probably starts out this way.
Your teacher/professor stands at the front of the class and does a problem while explaining how to do it.
Or maybe you read a textbook that works through an example.
Or maybe you watch my videos on YouTube where I show you how to do hundreds of different problems step-by-step. Yeah, I had to sneak a shameless plug in there. #sorrynotsorry
But watching this and listening to this doesn't make you understand the new problem. You're not an expert after watching someone do the problem.
Sometimes you're just as confused as before you saw it.
That's fine at this point. In fact, it's to be expected.
Step 2: Do it
Now you need to do a similar problem for yourself. Again, this could come in different forms.
Maybe you start by working through some of the steps but asking a lot of questions along the way.
Maybe it starts out slow, but you're able to figure out all the steps while referring to the problem you just saw done by someone else.
Maybe you are able to remember the steps and work through all of them.
Maybe it clicks for you and you get through the whole problem right away.
All of these are possibilities. And all of them are completely normal depending on the topic. The important thing is that you are the one trying to think through the logic of what to do next.
And that you are the one writing each step out along the way.
Again, it's completely fine if you can't get the right answer with just the knowledge in your head at this point.
Even if you can, you aren't a master at it yet. You have a little ways to go still.
Step 3: Teach it
Now is the fun part. This is the step that will really put you to the test.
Once you have done this new type of problem a few times, you should teach someone else how to do it.
Just like the other 2 steps, this can take a few forms.
More importantly, you don't have to know how to fully do the problem correctly in order to start teaching it. It's fine if you still have to refer to some other materials in order to work through and explain the problem.
But start explaining to someone else, how to do SOMETHING in the problem.
Maybe you just explain how to do the first step or the last step. But explain something.
Explain what to do, how to do it, and why you did it. Explain as much as you can.
It might be a little. It might be a lot.
It might be one steps. It might be all of them.
BUT EXPLAIN SOMETHING.
As much as you can.
There's a reason for this. It forces you to think about the problem much more deeply. And it forces you to think about how to communicate it instead of just copying steps you saw somewhere else.
It forces you into a thought process that is required in order to really learn something.
So naturally, by going through this exercise, you WILL learn it. Like, really learn it.
Like I said before, this can take a lot of different forms. Maybe you explain it to a stuffed animal.
Or explain it to your dog or cat.
Explain it to your sibling, friend, classmate, significant other.
Explain it to your teacher or professor.
Explain it to your tutor.
Whoever will listen, teach it to them.
By the way, it's fine if they already know how to do it. That's not the point. It's about you having to reframe the way you think about it. So explain it to someone. Teach it to someone.
If you can't find anyone who wants to listen, you can teach me.
In fact, I'm available to help be that person who can help you with all 3 of the steps. You can watch me do a problem, then I'll watch you do a problem, then you can teach me how to do it.

As many of you know, I normally have a live stream every Monday night at 5:00 Pacific time where we go over math questions live. This week I’m going to cancel the live stream so I can spend this time getting caught up on my other videos. I should have a lot of shorter videos and shorts ready to post this week and next week as a result!

I won't be having a live stream this week due to the three day weekend for MLK Day. Instead, the next video in my DFS Picks With Math series will be premiering at 5:00 Pacific time (8:00 Eastern) today. It's going to be a fun one, so be sure to catch it when it goes live! We start talking a bit about variance in this one. We'll get back to the live stream next week and get back to doing some precalculus problems.

I won’t be having a live stream this week. I know it’s either winter break or syllabus week for most students this week so I’ll be taking the week off. Next week I’m thinking I’ll talk about study strategies and habits that I recommend getting started with as soon as possible so you can set yourself up for success all term long! Comment below with study questions you have or any ideas you’d like to share with other students!

I’m sorry everyone, I’m not going to be able to squeeze in a livestream before the end of this week. It’s been a crazy week for me and I won’t have the time to put a livestream together as I had hoped. Will definitely be doing one on Monday as usual though, so be sure to join in for some finals prep next week!

Hey everyone, unfortunately I’m not going to be able to livestream today. I’ll do my best to do a make up session this week since I know finals are coming up and I want to answer your questions. If I’m able to do it later this week, when would be the best time for you to be able to come and ask your questions?

I'm here to help you learn calculus however I can. I'd love to help answer your questions so leave them in the comments on any of my videos and I'll do my best to help you out by responding to your question.
