College

This semester my daughter has a basic chemistry class. We had a long video call this evening where I stepped her painfully through the fist couple of problems in her homework. She has dyscalculia, and just cannot math for love-nor-money. I can tutor the math (oh. boy. can I tutor math.), but when we got to the problem with "significant figures" we were both about ready to cry. Something about do-you-count-the-zeros-or-not is just very, very counterintuitive to me. I'm sure if I worked with it regularly, it would eventually sink in. However, I only end up needing this set of rules about once every year or two. It just will not stick with me.

It's going to be. A fun semester. However, I can at least be grateful for video calls and my little whiteboard, which lets me be at least a halfway decent tutor. Density equals mass divided by volume. It is definitely going to go downhill from here.

darcy lewis sits on your lap just to review her mathematical proofs and theorems, and when you ask her why she just goes,

“because the principles of thermal conduction makes my brain work better,” mumbling about said partial differential equation under her breath.

when you look at her puzzled, she stops the frantic pace of her pencil to hold your face in her hands.

“you equal hot. darcy equal cold. brain no work when darcy cold. you plus me, equals equilibrium. it’s simple science really, well if you disregard the heat lost in the environment and how different materials absorb heat—you know what i mean!”

you chuckle at her response and plant a soft kiss on her nose.

you love your doctor in astrophysics, especially when she’s cuddled up in your lap rambling about math.

For some reason, it always makes me so happy to hear that there are other programming people in fandom, especially artists and writers. Like you can be cool engineers AND cool artists? At the same time?? it's very inspiring to me u.u

I'm multi-classing.

djhvdf but yeah in school I was always way way way more STEM-oriented. I just also started writing and went "hey I like this." Which, fandom-wise, manifested as fanfiction and fandom posts, which is mostly what I dump here. Day-job wise, I'm a software engineer.

And it's ALWAYS funny to combine them. Like with making discord bots of Gimcrack/Slipshod/Makeshift for the ABoT server. Or the entirety of That Math Scene from ch42 of ABoT, which is peak humor to me, personally.

If you're good at math:

1. Concept Integration:

Find sums which require in-depth knowledge of more than one mathematical concept to solve. A simple example would be using algebraic expressions as sides of a right angled triangle and finding hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem and then finding the square root of the polynomial by factorization.

2. Proofs:

Practice writing and understanding mathematical proofs. This helps you develop logical reasoning skills and a deeper understanding of the foundational principles behind mathematical concepts. Very Very important even if it is excluded in the syllabus.

3. Explore Multiple Methods: A continuation of the previous tip; when you learn derivations, you can find short-cuts that work out for you. Or you can explore other methods of solving like graphing two simultaneous linear equations to solve, etc

4. Marry a whiteboard: Seriously, it's so much fun to solve questions on whiteboard. Also, Feynman technique (it's basic so not preaching)

5. Give Olympiads:

  Don’t shy away from tackling advanced topics or materials beyond your current coursework. Give Olympiads. They broaden your thinking capacity, and they're reallyyyyyy fun to prepapre for ✨

6. Develop Intuition:

 Work on developing mathematical intuition. This involves recognizing patterns, making educated guesses, and estimating solutions before rigorously solving problems. Cannot stress enough on this point. I got a guess correct. It was fill in the integer type questions and the probability of getting an answer right if picked at random was 1/100. Still, went with my gut instict and got it correct.

7. Use Online Resources:

Platforms like Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and Coursera offer advanced math courses and lectures that can supplement your learning.

8. Follow me: most important tip 😉😁

man i hate that one teacher ruined the whole concept of math for me bc i love physics and string theory and chemistry and all that stuff but every time I'm watching a video about it i hear like. specific algebraic concepts and i immediately lose all interest

[finding-comfort-in-pain]

So. I made some terrible choices my freshman/sophomore year in high school, completely ignoring school cus of my shitty mental health. And it fucking killed my GPA. And i dont want that to happen to others. Soooo. I think i might offer like tutoring??? if people r interested?

Im a senior now, so like i got a few classes under my belt now. If people show interest i might make a post w the classes i’ve taken and like ranking them most confident tutoring to like least confident in tutoring.

id offer up a chunk of my soul for a fukurodani centric novel on their school days

What do you teach Pocket? I picture you teaching math.

Not math, social studies! Though I do have a tendency to end up math tutoring more than I expect lol. Writing too

literally last night had my office Christmas party for the tutoring center I work for and we have a little group of math tutors that are all queer and we hadn't seen each other in forever so we decided to go out to the gay bar after and all night we were telling people we were all math tutors together and the look of shock on these people's faces when they realized they were talking to 6 queer math nerds was incredible

LMAOOO "we're reaching out bc ur grade in this class qualifies you to be a tutor" first of all that class was a summer class i took in 2021 second we did almost nothing in there except take notes so ofc i got an A thirdly i am 100% not qualified to be a tutor i can barely teach myself HAHAHA

[creepyscritches]

Training a colleague on my time saving methods for various processes and she tells me I'm easy to learn from bc I'm so patient and nice and I 😭
