How to prepare for math competitions? How to understand math intuitively? How to learn math? How to practice your math skills? These are all questions I address in this video!
▬ In this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I explain why most people struggle with mathematics, despite not lacking intelligence or knowledge. This video is not limited to students in school or university, but rather applies to everyone interested in using the full potential of math intuition. I created this video together with my friends at MIT, who all attended and won different math competitions/olympiads during high school.
