The linear algebra class was mostly second/third years, but that's not the point. OP wants to learn math and has no idea where to start. Khan Academy and PatrickJMT are great places to start, since they simulate having a teacher/tutor.

And once again: You are not qualified to talk about learning math. Math is learnt from books and exercises. I do not dislike khan because of his use of technology, you retard, but because he doesn't teach math. He teaches mindless applications of rules and playing with numbers. That isn't math, but I guess you have no idea what math is about. All you took was babby tier. Please stick to your biology and never comment on math again

if you were truly anonymous you use fallacious rhetorical schemes to avoid showing holes in your logic. face it, you care about what people are saying about you even though you never have and never will meet them. if you were rational you would simply try to affect correct behaviour out of others, instead you react in a childish, untrained manner to avoid looking stupid.

I have nothing to hide. I'm quite happy with my life and am perfectly fine with being held accountable for my actions.

i'll repeat myself. if you consider yourself truly anonymous then why are you trying to defend yourself by using a middle school argument tactic of trying to make me go on the defensive by insulting me? have you noticed that i only bother to argue with you when youre insulting other people? that is because i care about you and i want you to act rationally. the fact that you try to impress your opinions of high educational standards on others proves that you have some interest in them, so why dont you act rationally and coach them in a productive manner instead? you could probably give a lot of advice and be taken more seriously if you acted more reasonably.

Nothing subconscious here. You talked about things while simultaneously displaying your lack of education regarding these things. I could belittle you now, but I see you are already embarrassed enough.

youre behaving incredibly stupidly. i am only saying that because since you assume insults are effective on other people they are probably effective on you.

since you care what people think of you, here is what they think. they think "he is being stupid, his affectations of superiority are annoying".

now all i want you to do is look over what you have said today and consider if you wouldnt think the same thing if someone said those things to you. i will do the same thing, i value your criticism even though the way you go about it is stupid.

dont bother responding to this comment.
