Started my @_MathAcademy_ journey as an adult learner this past Monday. It's been exciting so far rehashing some essential math. The XP and leaderboard stats has also made it very addictive to say the least. Started off in the Iron League 📈. Need to more MA folks here

I’ve stayed in two hotels the last two months and both times I’ve encountered a family that doesn’t have enough money in the bank or credit cards to cover the additional incidental fee most hotels charge at check in.

Both families were traveling for their kid’s sports team and seemingly had done the math for everything, but that one forgotten fee put them in the red.

Me experiencing this twice in two months may be nothing but it felt like a very loud reminder of how f*cked things are for every day Americans right now.

I’m really hoping something gives because as someone who grew up having to occasionally scrape by, it’s hard on a family and those memories stick with kids.

PS — If the charge wasn’t something I’d have to put my card down on file for a complete stranger, I would pay. But that aside, these moments are always so frantic and emotional for a family, I’m hesitant to interject.

Internalize, don't memorize.

Training for 30 high-intensity minutes each day will yield 2x the training volume as compared to a weekly 3.5-hour training session where each consecutive 30-minute segment is only 75% as productive as the previous.

@Garrett__Shan @_MathAcademy_ I sure will!

Yes, you can learn some surface-level stuff about a subject by playing around. No, it's not nearly as efficient as committing to serious, guided, deliberate practice. No, the play did not speed up your learning process.

Say a subject takes 100h to learn. Say you play around for 100h beforehand, watching videos and tinkering. And then you commit to serious study and it takes you 75h instead of 100h. You perceive that you learned the subject faster but really you spent 175h instead of 100h.

Maybe you're okay with that, maybe the play was necessary to get you to commit to serious practice. You can have good reasons for engaging in play before committing, I'm not arguing against that.

But you *can't* just ignore the opportunity cost and claim that the play sped up your learning process.

If you spent all those 175h on serious practice then you would have gone 1.75x as far. What you really did was trade a large amount of play for a small amount of practice, and then leave the play time out of your learning efficiency calculation.

Coming across tweets from @justinskycak and @ninja_maths influenced my decision to sign up to MA. Keep up with the great work!

There is room for everyone in tech

But few have the combo of skills required to work in tech

And that’s why demand will always be through the roof
