Heya
I hope today treated you well
So today I did the following stuff
Revised Linear Algebra and revised the anki cards of linear algebra that I made yesterday
Did some problems on linear algebra
The surest way to succeed is through repetition of the material and by solving past papers š So make sure you do finish it 3 Days before the exam.
Peaceāļø

Can I please disappear somewhere ?
Group theory is getting to me.Its like I know the theory but I need to apply and apply and apply and apply it till it clicks.I don't mind it but damn it's too much.I have given it a dead line of May 30 and I don't think I can complete it by then so maybe I have to extend my deadline which I don't like but yeah thats life and my brain will be happy with decision also I guess.So sorry for the rant and I hope today treated you so so well.
Apart from going insane with Group Theory I did some other stuff as well
Revised Stats
Revised chem and completed session 8-10 PowerPoint slides
Duolingo
But on a positive note my day did have some ups.I spoke with my boyfriend for like an hour and that literally was the best part of the day.2 of my friends had also video called me so I had a nice time there too.I did some cooking today for my mum and dad and they seemed to like itš¤
At the end of the day I am thankful that my blessings are greater than my problemsš

š Hello
It's around 10 pm and I'm not yet sure If I want to sleep in early or just chill around with my phone a little longer .Today I completed the following tasks
Revised Group Theory
Revised stats for 15 minutes
Revised chemistry for minutes
Studied Bayers Strain Theory in chemistry
Complete 10 problems from group theory
Little bit of Duolingo (I'm learning French)
I also submitted my chemistry assignment today
I'm quite happy with how today turned out.In the afternoon I was thinking that I can't get it all done but some I managed so a little proud of myself today.
Tomorrow I'll be starting the Schaum's series for Abstract algebra.I'll not be doing it entirely now.I will just be focusing on the group theory part that is the first 10 chapters.I'm planning on doing 1 chapter a day for the next 10 days.If anyone wants to join me in solving the Schaum's series please let me know, we can do it together and keep each other accountable and help if doubts arise.It'll be just for 10 days so a very short period of time.
That is all that is there in my study part of my life right now.
I hope today treated you well as wellšIf not, there is always a tomorrowš£
Good Night š

Heya, I hope today treated you well š
It's almost 10 pm here and I'm getting ready to go to bed.My day didn't really start well.I was panicking for my coming exams lol but it got better after my classes started at 9.The schedule was very hectic today and I was almost out of energy by 3 when the classes finally got over.I had my lunch and practised my French lessons on duolingo.Later in the evening my boyfriend sent me this beautiful video named as Slow life in French countryside and I loved every bit of Itš.Here is the link if anyone wants to watch it.
Later in the evening after having some fruits for snacks I studied the following stuff
Chemistry half a chapter
Group Theory (Quaternions and Matrix Groups)
10 problems on group theory
I also sat and decorated by bujo planner and planned out my next maths course, Linear algebra.
The day started out on a not so high note but it did end well.
Just hoping that everything works out well in the end.I wish the same to you too as well ā”

Hello š
It is currently 6.40 in the morning and I just finished doing my duolingo lessons.(I am learning French and about to complete check point one.If you know any good movies in French do let me know,I'm struggling to find some good stuff lol).
Today I want to complete the following stuff
Revise yesterday's work and do Group Theory(Important actions and applications)
Solve 10 Problems on Group Theory
Complete revising last week's maths and start revising last week's stats.
I wish a very wonderful day to you ā£ Happy, restful and productive! Don't overdo anything, health always comes first!!

What does FTC say?
It says that if a person takes the derivative of a function and then integrates it over a region on the number line say [a, b] then this is the same as evaluating the function on its endpoints.
What does the Green's Theorem say?
Green's Theorem is the fundamental theorem of calculus in 2 dimensions.Instead of taking the derivative of a single variable function we take the curl of a 2 variable function.Instead of integrating this over a number line we integrate it on the xy plane.Instead of evaluatingĀ the functionĀ at the two endpointsĀ aĀ andĀ b and taking the difference, we take theĀ line integralĀ of the function and integrate it around the curve in a counterclockwise direction.
What does the stokes' theorem say?
Stokes' theorem is the fundamental theorem of calculus in 3 dimensions. Instead of taking the derivative of a single variable function, we take the three-dimensional curl. Instead of integrating this over a number line, we integrate it on the surface (To evaluate the surface integral one has to dot the vector field with unit normal vectors). Instead of evaluatingĀ the functionĀ at the two endpointsĀ aĀ andĀ b and taking the difference, we take theĀ line integralĀ of the function and integrate it around the curve on a surface in a counterclockwise direction just like in Green's Theorem.

Today I have classes till 4.30.I am not feeling great but I am determined not to be controlled by my negative thoughts.I will rest for some time after the classes then maybe have a cup of tea(I know drinking tea is not recommended after 2 lol but maybe an exception today), and start my work.Today I want to get done the following stuff
Complete revising my last week's maths content.(Hardly 15 minutes)
20 Problems from Group theory( at least 1 hour)
Group theory (Important actions and applications)(Maybe 90 minutes hopefully less lol)
Around 3 hours of work.Hehe not much but I'll be dead tired by the end of it.Okie see ya!
Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

I just finished revising for group theory. It's about 5.30 in the evening and I thought I'd have it completed by 9 in the morning lol. So anyways now I plan on covering the following topics
Group acting on sets
Orbits and stabilizers
Revise maths and catch up with this week's work
Solve 10 problems on Group Theory
Wish me luck and I hope you are having a better day than me!ā£
Do you think two weeks is enough for revisions for a math exam..?
Hey Anon! :D
I would say yeah, it's more than enough if you know how to manage your time and revise effectively. Personally, the time doesn't really matter much if you know how to revise well :)
Math Tips
(Pictures are not mine)
Well, let me tell you, we all have this love-hate relationship with this subject, right? The worst part is that when you don't know what the heck is going on, so, as a girl who studied maths (2 Volumes/textbooks) on her own during the year she was homeschooled, here are some tips and tricks that I did to get an A+ in my math finals!
Get your syllabus together
In the beginning I had no damn idea what was going on and it was just confusing. I had to do the first thing I did was taken my index/table of contents and mark the chapters which i knew very well and the ones I had no clue about. And then i arranged them with the marking scheme, like which one carries the most marks etc etc and study accordingly.
Complete lessons/chapters that you already know
When you finish off the things you already know then that's gonna give you the confidence you need even if you know only 1-2 chapters, learn it throughout and make sure that you'll get the answer no matter how twisted the sum is. If you're doubtful about the whole textbook like any normal person.... Start with the easy ones. (I know there are literally really no "easy" chapters, spare me)
Harder chapters need hard work
Most chapters like Trigonometry proofs, Geometry proofs, Algebra, Graphs, Mensuration and Calculus etc need more than minimum effort but here's a trick, what is the common thing in this? Yes, they're all formulae and theorem based which goes to my next point. These chapters are completely based on how much you've understood your basics.
Formulae and theorem cheatsheets
Make a list of all formulae and the theorem used in the book, write them chapter wise and no printouts or digital notes. Take a paper and write it down, no excuses. It helps you while you're practicing, revising and in the last minute review, it helped me damn much. Remember, maths is a sport. The basic formulae must come to you like reflexes.
YouTube is your best friend.
For every single chapter, go and watch the basics and how a sum is done step by step. A recommendation for this is Organic Chemistry Tutor who literally is one of the reasons i passed. He has videos from basic geometry, trigonometry, statistics to calculus. Search for your own YouTubers and be clear with concepts.
Math is fully memorization
Memorize formulae and theorems with the back of your hand, you should be able to recall them within seconds. Be thorough.
Memorize basic math values (if calculator isn't allowed)
Do this if you have a majority of chapters like Statistics, Mensuration, Profit/loss calculation etc, where large numbers are concerned. Memorize the first 10 square, cube, decimal and multiplication values. It may be dry but there are literally songs available for these things, I'm serious, i learnt the first 10 cube roots by listening to Senorita xD Search for rhymes and they'll definitely be many!!
Work it out!!!!!!
Can't stress this enough, atleast 30-40 mins is the minimum for maths. I'm serious, work out each sum, don't ever think it's a waste, you'll see the results. Practice makes perfect. Work out every single sum, from examples to exercise ones cause let's be honest, our examiners love to take problems from every nook and cranny of the book.
Whiteboard method
So, I made this up and it actually works, if you have a whiteboard or anything else, once you completed a chapter, take a random page and whatever sums you have on those two pages, you need to complete within a given time limit. It helps you to identify your weak points and where the hell you're losing both time and effort and not to mention that it gives you confidence boost up.
Hope this helps :))
