understand math

120 pages of high school math down in 10 days! Yahoo! At this rate I’ll cover high school math at level A in less than three months. I feel so motivated :) (doing the Evan dance)

I’m taking a year og sabbath from my university study of Japanese, and therefore I decided to brush up on some of my lost skills and ideally become even better than I used to be. An important one is math, since I may be studying computer science next year rather than Japanese. Supermemo is my tool of choice and and during the last three days, I’ve memorized the initial 60 pages of my old math book from the first year of high school. It has resultet in about 400 question-answer pairs (known as elements) in Supermemo. Using my hopefully soon to be rediscovered math skills I have calculated that this book will result in about 2500 elements and that my entire high school curiculum will result in about 6500 elements. Afterwards I plan on memorizing Gilbert Strang’s Calculus, which I estimate will result in 4-5000 elements.

That means I’m approaching the 4% mark og my initial quest or put another way, I’ve reached the | on this line:

If my ASCII skills were better I would make a insightful graph right here, but they aren’t, so I’ll just stop now ;)

I once likes math. But somewhere along the way my interest faded. I would like to refind this interest, this fascination. Especially because a science closely realted to math interests me alot: Computer science.
