Oh look, the philosophy major just woke up.

Do more math. Intuition is nothing magical, it's just recognising patterns that you have seen already.

>>7092897

What kind of math would be most useful though? I took calculus 1 and 2 and I don't feel it has helped me have more of an analytical mind. Would logics help?

Have a bunch of kids.
Kill the ones who suck at math.
Have the ones that don't have kids, repeat.

What is it that you want exactly? Don't you have something better to do? This is not the best place to troll. I'll ignore you from now on.

That depends on the kind of math you want to do and what you need. Intuition is like I said no magical property that you have or haven't and which will always work. It's just experience and conditioning. You look at a problem, start to think, and some part of your brain recognises the pattern and tells you what the solution might look like. You just feel what the right approach is (when, in reality, you actually learned that, it's just buried deep into your brain, so that you can't really say why you know that). To get there, you need to do it a lot, like with everything else, really.

Guide to becoming a mathematician:
1. Take 10 long needles, push them deep into your testes 3 times per day.
2. 5 elastic bands, wrap them round the base of your member tightly cutting off blood supply, wait 10 weeks and feed what drops off to your dog.
3. Find a high quality dealer, buy the strongest skunk you can find, smoke continuously for 6 months to develop deep psychosis.
4. LSD two times a week.
5. Lock yourself in a room and do each american universities online maths courses 1 after the other.
6. Buy very long and sharp swords, practise stabbing dummies imagining they are engineers who REALLY hate mathematicians, develop a supercilious sneer and demeanour.

Post here after 6 months and your first engineer kill.

If what you say is true, then how did people initially discover how to solve those problems from scratch. Don't start telling me that they randomly encountered the solution while tweaking around with the problem.

They were smarter than we are, bro.

>>7092836
I's say you need to first learn the very foundational knowledge, like the basic rules of Logic, specially deduction, then proof methods, then practical Math you learn in primary and secondary education like arithmetics, some procedures etc...
Then you need to memorize everything and do exercises. Sooner or later it becomes intuitive.
It's like learning to drive, first you do it very unnaturally, then you become a natural.

Agree. Attitude is very important too.

I'll explain to you what this means, since your autism seems to block it down your throat.

It means having ideas, of what the solution to a problem might be, or what we could do that might get us to the result, what would be a hard way and having the feeling there could be an easier way to the result.
All that without actually being sure of the result, because having and idea of what the result could look like could actually help you to get to it.

Your intuition can also be wrong, but having good intuition is still better than being a brute forcing faggot that apply every single technique he learned by heart along with the order in wich he would apply them like a fucking calculator.

You get the same result in the end, but one of you spent 1 more hour trying everything he knew while the other though "'this' might work but 'that' would probalby work faster so let's give it a try"

You can't do maths without intuition.
Even trying to prove a theorem is based on intuition that 'this' is probably not just a particular case, and could be generalized.

So shut it once for all now, or think twice before spouting your retarded memes at someone not being as autistic as you are.

>that workstation
disgusting. I hate having a clean workstation. Always a clear indication that I'm not getting any work done. But I'm sure you're different, right OP?

>that location
I like the window, that must have been a really nice day. how do you feel about spending it inside?
