Looking For Someone To Help Me

• Dec 18, 2016 - 17:20

Hey. I'm looking for someone to help me with the Musescore Program, as well as teach me more, as I only recently got into music(in this way, at least) and didn't bother to listen in Music class in Elementary school. I can talk via Skype, Discord, or Steam. If you'd like to help, we can PM to get each other's Skype/Discords/Steam. Thanks :)

I learned electronics at the age of 7, music at the age of 9 and calculus at the age of 50.

The best way to learn music is to get an instrument and practice with it and then go online for tips for your instrument. There are also sites that will instruct you in music theory.

For calculus you can also go online but the real-world applications seem to be limited to a sheep-farmer with a finite length of wire fencing or someone wanting to fly their rocket to Mars or an ecologist who is worried about seal populations. Electronics has well overtaken my initial knowledge.

So, practise with an instrument until you get a good sound and then look online at the many music theory sites. Forget calculus unless you have sheep or a hankering for Mars exploration.

As a mathematician, I can say you're completely right. Calculus as it is taught is generally an applied math subject, and you only really need to learn it when you're... well, trying to apply it. Doesn't mean that it isn't worthwhile to learn mathematics (I consider it about as artistic as painting or music, to be honest; it's taught under "liberal arts" for a reason), but maybe not necessarily the applied sort.

Just be warned that learning mathematical theory and proofs is far, far, far harder than just memorizing formulas and plug-and-play mathematics.
