PS: Learning Takes Time and Effort
Previous: PS. Study Tips
Remember the following study tips
- Notes and work for doing problems must be written on paper and must be
written precisely. Ideas or work written incorrectly will be a source of
error later – at the time of reading or further reasoning.
- Use of the electronic calculator for decimal computations does not
provide the exact answers that are needed for derivations of formulas in
algebra and beyond. For true understanding of concepts beyond arithmetic,
students must be able to perform operations with fractions.
- To completely master a mathematical concept, one must be able to write
calculations precisely and exactly on paper. Errors of notation create
misinterpretations which when read later on lead to misunderstanding or
errors of further reasoning.
- Learning takes time and effort. No one else can provide the time and
patience for it, apart from yourself with one exception:
- Liking or disliking the teacher should have no part (or as little as
possible) in deciding whether you will study or not in a subject,
mathematics included.
