I got 66% in the last assignment, i was stressed that I scored badly and thatās exactly what happened 
Edit: 70% is the second highest grade so if I look at it like that, Iām safe

I keep switching tabs to the forum when Iām supposed to be studying. Itās really bothering me because I havenāt been productive enough lately aside from assignments (which Iāve not been doing great on). I thought itād be manageable because most of it is open book - how wrong this is proving to be
@MisterApple can you print the study material and read it offline? Whenever I read a book I leave my phone on a remote table. And I never turn my laptop on unless I am watching a movie. Otherwise I easily get distracted.

Itās the discipline, I have textbook version (paper copies) but my mind drifts to the forum
Part of me says Iāll focus better in the evening but i know it wonāt happen

I was not good in math in school, didnāt pay attention. When doing a cognition test related to sz, I was told I had potential and was in the top 10% in math. Was kind of surprised by that. I have more appreciation for math after I started game dev, although I have to look up advanced stuff. Most of the time you can get by with - + / * in game development though, and you often have built in functions for certain calculations. I think itās cool with those who are good at it, but I will never become good myself, probably.

Working on Complex Numbers (otherwise known as imaginary numbers)
Looked into some of the next chapters which are still on complex numbers, but it looks complicated but exciting unlike sequences/series and matrices lol

Let me know when/if you get here:
We did this at uni, I donāt remember anything except that it was pretty cool!

Looks exciting, itās in Complex Analysis which Iāll do in year 6/7
Iām really likin the course so far. The Mathematics really is cool, so exciting haha

I hope the weather is calmer (less hot and humid) by late August so I can revise all the content. Iām super nervous about this exam - itās the first Exam Iāve done since 2021. Thatās when I was doing my economics degree
Messy but I got it correct! Both of them! Another 3 parts to do Mwhahah 
(These are matrices / matrix multiplication)
Edit: In this submission, it is matrices, sequences and complex numbers with some earlier unit stuff too.

Feeling quite tired/sleepy. Was gonna try do more of my assignment but idk, itās better to rest rn. Itās a pretty challenging assignment bc itās mostly stuff unfamiliar to me including the questions.
Iāve spent the last eight days walking so much that I put off the assignment bc of tiredness. Tomorrow itāll be different though, I wonāt be going for a walk but instead will make more progress with this assignment.
Iāve mostly enjoyed this module, āessential mathematics Iā but Iāve struggled with the assignments a lot more than I ever anticipated, highest mark only 82% when the goal was to score an average of 85%. My average is 67. So in terms of classifications - thatās a lower second class grade.

Thatās scary because all this time I thought physics problems (which also require reasoning) would be beyond AI. That being said, this model they used isnāt available to the public yet
[Images removed] I just realised it might pop up on the software that tracks and compares my work to online content, so I got rid of the images because of this - donāt want to risk the false flag
A little number trick for recurring decimals and some matrices (networks, in this case energy suppliers and homes)
Younger brother thinks that studying maths means you think about problems in maths but thatās not quite it. You think with an improved nervous system imo, Brain network so to speak - you see more patterns for example and also links between abstracts
Crunch time soon coming. Basically the month of August will be revision of everything enough for the 17 of Sept. I believe itās enough time to sort out chink in knowledge and understanding. Being as positive as can be.
