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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2025-12-01 | 2h:50m | 105 | 105 | Started with Mathematical Foundations I. The diagnostic test result started the course with 70% completed. |
| 2 | 2025-12-02 | 1h:55m | 111 | 216 | Very basic stuff and I knew most of it. So easy day! |
| 3 | 2025-12-03 | 2h:10m | 115 | 331 | Today was fun. Learnt stuff like expanding binomials using pascals triangle and slope-intercept form of lines which I had long forgotten. |
| 4 | 2025-12-04 | 1h:40m | 117 | 448 | Was 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. |
| 5 | 2025-12-05 | 2h:05m | 156 | 604 | Only 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. |
| 6 | 2025-12-06 | 1h:35m | 109 | 713 | Starting to feel a bit tired. |
| 7 | 2025-12-07 | 2h:13m | 122 | 835 | Perfect score on the test today whew. |
| 8 | 2025-12-08 | 1h:19m | 53 | 888 | Unfortunately sick today. There was a multistep task today which needed a formula not taught before. That was weird. Likely some content issue. |
| 9 | 2025-12-09 | 1h:52m | 135 | 1023 | Only got 10/13 questions right in the quiz today. Still making silly mistakes when I try to rush. I also struggle with absolutes. |
| 10 | 2025-12-10 | 1h:44m | 114 | 1137 | Perfect test in todays test yay! And pretty fun lessons. I'm starting to get the gist of absolutes. |
| 11 | 2025-12-11 | 1h:26m | 106 | 1243 | |
| 12 | 2025-12-12 | 1h:42m | 108 | 1351 | Perfect 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. |
| 13 | 2025-12-13 | 1h:57m | 133 | 1484 | Perfect test today. I think things are wrapping up. The same stuff seems to be revisited a lot with minor differences. |
| 14 | 2025-12-14 | 1h:53m | 121 | 1605 | Perfect 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! |
| 15 | 2025-12-15 | 1h:52m | 112 | 1717 | |
| 16 | 2025-12-16 | 1h:30m | 111 | 1828 | It's not exactly difficult but its a lot of different stuff you have to keep in your head. |
| 17 | 2025-12-17 | 1h:56m | 126 | 1954 | Test went well today. Way too many formulas today. Not sure how I'm going to remember all of this. |
| 18 | 2025-12-18 | 1h:50m | 110 | 2064 | Only 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. |
| 19 | 2025-12-19 | 2h:22m | 142 | 2206 | Only 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. |
| 20 | 2025-12-20 | 1h:58m | 142 | 2348 | Test went well today. |
| 21 | 2025-12-21 | 1h:59m | 122 | 2470 | Terrible 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. |
| 22 | 2025-12-22 | 1h:48m | 131 | 2601 | I had a retest today because yesterdays went badly. But it went well this time. |
| 23 | 2025-12-23 | 2h:07m | 101 | 2702 | 11/13 in todays test. Forgetting some stuff. Todays lessons were INCREDIBLY tedious. |
| 24 | 2025-12-24 | 1h:45m | 127 | 2829 | Good test today. I guessed one so I really shouldn't have gotten those bonus xp. |
| 25 | 2025-12-25 | 2h:09m | 125 | 2954 | Easy test today. Merry Christmas! :D |
| 26 | 2025-12-26 | 1h:56m | 144 | 3098 | Bad test today. 8/12. 2 very silly mistakes. I had some issues visualising exponential functions. But scored perfectly in the retest after review. |
| 27 | 2025-12-27 | 2h:05m | 149 | 3247 | Easy test today. |
| 28 | 2025-12-28 | 2h:13m | 143 | 3390 | Test went well today though I found it a bit hard. |
| 29 | 2025-12-29 | 1h:49m | 133 | 3523 | Good test but I again found it a bit hard. |
| 30 | 2025-12-30 | 1h:54m | 137 | 3660 | 12/14 in the test today. One was a rounding error facepalm. |
| 31 | 2025-12-31 | 3h:10m | 170 | 3830 | 7/10 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. |
| 32 | 2026-01-01 | 2h:00m | 125 | 3955 | Good test today though it was a bit difficult. The rational roots theorem was new to me. |
| 33 | 2026-01-02 | 2h:18m | 122 | 4077 | 9/10 in the test today. Read a graph wrong. |
| 34 | 2026-01-03 | 2h:12m | 137 | 4214 | Good test today. |
| 35 | 2026-01-04 | 2h:18m | 156 | 4370 | Good test today. Harder than normal questions but I was able to recall old stuff. |
| 36 | 2026-01-05 | 2h:13m | 123 | 4493 | 9/10 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. |
| 37 | 2026-01-06 | 1h:56m | 122 | 4615 | 9/10 in the test. I was unsure of an approach. I like how the system catches such stuff and reviews them. |
| 38 | 2026-01-07 | 2h:02m | 118 | 4733 | Learnt 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. |
| 39 | 2026-01-08 | 2h:20m | 138 | 4871 | 7/8 in the test. Silly geometry mistake. The lessons are definitely getting harder. |
| 40 | 2026-01-09 | 2h:02m | 126 | 4997 | Good test today. |
| 41 | 2026-01-10 | 2h:24m | 125 | 5122 | 11/12 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. |
| 42 | 2026-01-11 | 1h:40m | 119 | 5241 | 8/9 in the test today. Rounding error. |
