Math

New experiment time! This time I'm gonna learn math. This is not going to be a short experiment. But it would be so damn cool if I can get good at math.

I'm going to use Math Academy.

2026-02-27:

Pausing the experiment for now as my 3rd month of subscription is over. I am right now at 74% through Math Foundations III. I had hoped for more progress but the platform just threw too many reviews at me. I'll be back later to finish this up and continue with more advanced courses.

12025-12-012h:50m105105Started with Mathematical Foundations I. The diagnostic test result started the course with 70% completed.
22025-12-021h:55m111216Very basic stuff and I knew most of it. So easy day!
32025-12-032h:10m115331Today was fun. Learnt stuff like expanding binomials using pascals triangle and slope-intercept form of lines which I had long forgotten.
42025-12-041h:40m117448Was a bit hard today for some reason. There was an assessment today: 10 questions in 10 minutes. Thats kinda harsh lol. Anyway just grinding on.
52025-12-052h:05m156604Only got 9 out of 11 correct in my test today which sucked. I panicked seeing the alloted time(which isnt much) tick down on screen and made mistakes.
62025-12-061h:35m109713Starting to feel a bit tired.
72025-12-072h:13m122835Perfect score on the test today whew.
82025-12-081h:19m53888Unfortunately sick today. There was a multistep task today which needed a formula not taught before. That was weird. Likely some content issue.
92025-12-091h:52m1351023Only got 10/13 questions right in the quiz today. Still making silly mistakes when I try to rush. I also struggle with absolutes.
102025-12-101h:44m1141137Perfect test in todays test yay! And pretty fun lessons. I'm starting to get the gist of absolutes.
112025-12-111h:26m1061243
122025-12-121h:42m1081351Perfect test today. Also you make an amazing number of simple mistakes when its the end of the day and tired. Always a good idea to study in the morning when you are rested.
132025-12-131h:57m1331484Perfect test today. I think things are wrapping up. The same stuff seems to be revisited a lot with minor differences.
142025-12-141h:53m1211605Perfect test today. I finished the test 5 minutes early which is a first. Also finished Mathematical Foundations I today! Onto Mathematical Foundations II. Very excited!
152025-12-151h:52m1121717
162025-12-161h:30m1111828It's not exactly difficult but its a lot of different stuff you have to keep in your head.
172025-12-171h:56m1261954Test went well today. Way too many formulas today. Not sure how I'm going to remember all of this.
182025-12-181h:50m1102064Only got 13/14 answers in the quiz right. Couldn't remember the formula for sides of a 30-60-90 triangle quickly enough. Probability is so confusing.
192025-12-192h:22m1422206Only got 9/12 in the test today. I completely ran out of time. It takes me too much time to read and understand a probability question. Hopefully this gets better with practice.
202025-12-201h:58m1422348Test went well today.
212025-12-211h:59m1222470Terrible test today. Only 7/11. Annoying because the probability question was the only one I struggled with. The rest were easy but I needed more time. But I guess testing for fluidity is part of the point.
222025-12-221h:48m1312601I had a retest today because yesterdays went badly. But it went well this time.
232025-12-232h:07m101270211/13 in todays test. Forgetting some stuff. Todays lessons were INCREDIBLY tedious.
242025-12-241h:45m1272829Good test today. I guessed one so I really shouldn't have gotten those bonus xp.
252025-12-252h:09m1252954Easy test today. Merry Christmas! :D
262025-12-261h:56m1443098Bad test today. 8/12. 2 very silly mistakes. I had some issues visualising exponential functions. But scored perfectly in the retest after review.
272025-12-272h:05m1493247Easy test today.
282025-12-282h:13m1433390Test went well today though I found it a bit hard.
292025-12-291h:49m1333523Good test but I again found it a bit hard.
302025-12-301h:54m137366012/14 in the test today. One was a rounding error facepalm.
312025-12-313h:10m17038307/10 in todays test. 2 super silly mistakes. 9/10 in the retest. Another silly mistake. Learnt a lot of cool stuff today like dividing polynomials using long division.
322026-01-012h:00m1253955Good test today though it was a bit difficult. The rational roots theorem was new to me.
332026-01-022h:18m12240779/10 in the test today. Read a graph wrong.
342026-01-032h:12m1374214Good test today.
352026-01-042h:18m1564370Good test today. Harder than normal questions but I was able to recall old stuff.
362026-01-052h:13m12344939/10 in the test. Completely forgot how the rational roots theorem worked. Finally started to learn differentiation and what it means and how it works. I'm starting to appreciate all the continuous drilling of concepts which led up to this.
372026-01-061h:56m12246159/10 in the test. I was unsure of an approach. I like how the system catches such stuff and reviews them.
382026-01-072h:02m1184733Learnt the chain rule. But I didn't really understand the derivation of the rule. Similarly the derivation of rule for the derivative of exponential functions wasn't explained properly and skipped some steps in the proof. Will learn outside the platform. I'm also starting to forget stuff. eg. I forgot the definition of odd vs even functions.
392026-01-082h:20m13848717/8 in the test. Silly geometry mistake. The lessons are definitely getting harder.
402026-01-092h:02m1264997Good test today.
412026-01-102h:24m125512211/12 in the test today. Completely forgot the covariance formula. Even the other questions were a bit rough. Very tedious and annoying lessons today as well.
422026-01-111h:40m11952418/9 in the test today. Rounding error.
432026-01-121h:45m1255366Good test today.
442026-01-132h:00m1315497Easy test today.
452026-01-142h:13m14456419/11 in the test today. One was a very dumb mistake. The other is me yet again forgetting how to determine horizontal asymptotes of functions.
462026-01-152h:04m1205761They make the problem sets so tricky. Its a bit funny :p
472026-01-161h:31m13558968/9 in the test. Messed up range of a function.
482026-01-171h:43m11660125/6 in the test. I apparently cant calculate 2-4.
492026-01-181h:49m1326144Good test today. So much trignometry being taught.
502026-01-192h:01m13562796/8 in the test. Ran out of time.
512026-01-201h:59m1396418Test went well.
522026-01-211h:58m13565537/9 in todays test. One silly mistake + I still cant reflect a curve over y=x visually.
532026-01-222h:23m1426695Test went well.
542026-01-232h:13m1186813Weirdly easy test today. Had so much extra time.
552026-01-242h:21m14269558/9 in the test. Another silly mistake. Very tedious problem sets today.
562026-01-252h:20m1187073Finally finished Mathematical Foundations II! There was so much damn trignometry I was losing my mind. Started Mathematical Foundations III.
572026-01-261h:55m11871915/6 in the test. Completely forgot the formula to calculate the linear correlation coefficient. Maybe I should just write down the formula somewhere and refer to it instead of trying to remember it each time?
582026-01-272h:00m1197310Calculus getting interesting.
592026-01-281h:55m1297439Test was a bit hard but still went well!
602026-01-291h:38m1107549Another good test. The test kept glitching out and reloading for some reason but it still remembered my selected answers.
612026-01-302h:57m1527701Test went well again but I barely finished on time. I really don't know why they make it so damn hard wrt time. A ton of trignometry today too.
622026-01-312h:27m1287829Ok test. The modules are getting even more tedious somehow.
632026-02-011h:53m1467975Another good exam but the time allotted was again so low: 12 questions 15 minutes.
642026-02-021h:57m12681016/7 in the test today. Wasn't really a mistake. I didn't simplify my final answer enough.
652026-02-032h:23m13882397/8 in todays test. An incredibly hard test. As always its hard because of time constraints.
662026-02-042h:10m13083698/9 in the test. Completely forgot how to figure out ranges of a parametric graph.
672026-02-051h:58m1308499Good test today though I got a bit lucky with 1 question. Did a lot of linear algebra today which was kinda fun.
682026-02-061h:10m818580Terrible day. My brain wasn't working at all. Was staring at lessons going wtf.
692026-02-072h:14m14487246/7 in the test. Easy test but ran out of time. I am forgetting a lot of stuff in topics like conic sections. eg. I cannot remember every formula of hyperbolas vs parabolas.
702026-02-082h:16m15088747/8 in the test. Forgot the linear transformation rules. Another tedious day full of trignometry.
712026-02-092h:21m1619035Ok test today.
722026-02-102h:36m1409175East test. Interesting calculus and linear algebra lessons today.
732026-02-113h:27m17593509/11 in the test. The time allotted for the given set of questions was again way too low. Learnt a lot of linear algebra today.
742026-02-121h:59m1339483Easy test. There were a lot of lessons on solving inequalities today.
752026-02-131h:56m1479630Started differential equations.
762026-02-142h:35m1469776Calculus getting pretty hard.
772026-02-152h:27m1729948Bleh so many reviews. I've stopped strictly tracking my tests because the platform keeps trying to make it hard purely through time limits.
782026-02-162h:22m14610094There were only 5 questions in todays test which made it easy.
792026-02-171h:49m12610220
802026-02-182h:58m17410394
812026-02-192h:21m16910563I'm having a lot of trouble understanding roots of unity. But I'm doing a TON of calculus and its really fun!
822026-02-203h:08m17110734So much integration!
832026-02-212h:17m14210876The tedium continues.
842026-02-222h:36m12010996Integration getting quite hard.
852026-02-231h:49m13211128My brain is fried.
862026-02-241h:42m11111239Drowning in reviews.
872026-02-251h:49m11511354Another day of mostly reviews. Bleh.
882026-02-261h:47m12111475
892026-02-271h:10m8011555Not a good day. I think I might be a bit burnt out doing this everyday.
