Math thread

Who wants to learn some math? 

I'll need to know:

• What kind of math you want to know
• An example of a problem you can't solve but want to
• What kind of math you know how to do already
• How much time a week you want to dedicate to learning it
• What's your preferred learning style

i want to learn some math

i want to learn linear algebra
i don't know any linear algebra
i've gone all the way through calc 3
idk, 3-5 hours a week?
lecture 10/10 with hella examples

of course, i've done calc based physics and vectors are a huge part of calc 3

I'm mulling this over.  I have a habit of committing to projects and then realizing I don't have time for them,  so bear with me.  Has the Kahn academy route not worked out for you?

I find they always go a very odd route when teaching things. They always do examples and problems that while close to what I'd actually be doing in class, just always miss some key element. Every year I go back to Khan and every year I'm disappointed. Personally I lost faith in that site as a valuable learning resource a while ago. I suppose it may work better if I treat it as stand alone curriculum instead of a supplement to what I'm already learning, however I still worry that they'll leave something out that I'll just never know that might have been really important.

I think the best use of your time would be for me to fill in the gaps of your knowledge left by your professors, text books, Kahn, and other resources.  I'm sure there is some interactive, web based, math oriented white board out there we could use to get your linear algebra up and running the way you'd like.

I posted a meme and I forgot that this was in general discussion instead of shitpost.
