• I'm 30 and I want to learn mathematics. Where should I start? Books / Udemy Courses?

  Https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ is great for defining things. Their explanation as to why square roots are only positive (or why we only use the principal square root even though its plausible that we could use negative and positive) is my favorite. Hopefully I stated that correctly but in case not here's the link https://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrincipalSquareRoot.html. Source: 6 months ago

• Need resources for math review.

  The World of Math Online has lessons, guides, and practice for all types of math, from algebra to calculus and beyond. Source: 11 months ago

• Low cost things to help high school

  Khan Academy is great and covers many subjects. Quindew, Read Theory, and Read Works cover reading comprehension. School Yourself, Mathigon, and Wolfram MathWorld cover math. Xaktly covers math and science. If you like workbooks, there are several for high school here. All of those are free. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why is there no closed form of the formula for the perimeter of ellipse?

  Just to add to what’ already been said, Bessel functions are typically considered to be special functions. This term describes functions that aren’t elementary, but have a lot og uses/show up in lots of contexts, and generally are considered to have “nice” properties. Source: about 1 year ago

• [Q] how to read stats textbook in < 3 weeks

  I think you would benefit greatly from reading a section and highlighting concepts you don't understand and look them up in Mathworld, it will help with definitions of specific things. After each section it may also help to look at implementations of these in the programming language you are using whether it be python with tensorflow or C etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Advanced mathematics higher degree inequalities and equations]

  Now, if you're doing it for real, the best and also most common method is simply, "use a computer". Many computer systems are really, really good at solving these equations and inequalities. You can also graph it and see on the graph every time it crosses zero. You can even do it for free without fancy software. There are a lot of web calculators that can do it, but one options is using wolframalpha.com. Source: 5 months ago

• How can Computers be used for mathematical applications when floats make them so inaccurate?

  This is how the functionality of scientific calculators and tools like MATLAB and WolframAlpha is implemented. Source: 5 months ago

• What are your favorite high-school level problems (olympiads etc)

  Go to wolframalpha.com, and ask it to evaluate. Source: 10 months ago

• Online Calculator for solving x in polynomial equation

  Do not go for a "one-use" calculator... Go for something that does it all if you know what you're doing. Go to wolframalpha.com. Source: 11 months ago

• Overview of the most useful probability distributions (using Logseq's Whiteboards)

  Some context: - Each "Card" you see is a reference to a block inside a big page called "Remarkable distributions". That page also contains more details (proofs, notable properties, ...) about each distribution. - The plots are generated using wolframalpha.com. I can just type "normal distribution" and I get a nice plot with different variations of the distribution's parameters. Source: 11 months ago
