Hey /sci/ I'll cut right to the chase. I was interested in teaching myself mathematics as a hobby, and am starting with single variable Calculus. MIT OCW offers text+videos to teach this, along with problem sets and a final "exam".

I was just asking if /sci/ deems this a reliable resource? I assumed so since it's MIT but would like a confirmation.

Videos might help you at the start if you are really struggling to grasp a concept, but you need to git gud at reading textbooks as fast as possible.

The more you study the better you become at studying which means you can work through textbooks faster and faster, videos don't have the same effect because watching a video is passive learning and you can't control the pacing; video is a slow, shitty meadia compared to text.

Probably better than a majority of the classes one could take elsewhere.

I think to get good you have to work problems and do proofs. If you just read you won't really know if you understand to the level of application rather than just getting the gist of it.
