WEBVTT 00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:03.530 Richard Feynman was the nobel prize winning physicist 00:00:03.530 --> 00:00:07.450 and tells the story of what we need to the mathematics department 00:00:07.450 --> 00:00:12.660 and challenging anyone there to explain to him any identifier how difficult or 00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:14.219 complicated 00:00:14.219 --> 00:00:14.929 n 00:00:14.929 --> 00:00:18.220 as long as they used simple terminology 00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:22.089 fino complicated word so returns he didn't understand the explain to me you 00:00:22.089 --> 00:00:23.660 know we can understand 00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:26.759 he would reach dizzying conclusions that they did 00:00:26.759 --> 00:00:29.939 and they were studying this subject 00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:33.659 the stories often brought to show what a great genius richard finding was that he 00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:35.250 was able to do this 00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:39.130 but in reality anyone can do this technique 00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:40.590 to learn anything 00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:42.540 and i'm sure you can't do it 00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:44.580 you can use the finding technique 00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:48.410 to understand ideas that you don't really get 00:00:48.410 --> 00:00:50.590 you can use the technique 00:00:50.590 --> 00:00:53.870 remember i just better that you understand that you can remember 00:00:53.870 --> 00:00:56.070 perfectly for tests 00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:59.820 finally you can use these approaches really efficiently study 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:04.410 before an exam so a lot to suspect our scranton elibrary 00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:06.659 too not that great results 00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:10.380 you can use this technique and twenty minutes to deeply understand idea 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:12.800 they will stick with you for years 00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:14.230 so let's walk through 00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:15.450 the findings technique 00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:20.380 signifies your own sense to learn better 00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:24.510 the first step is to choose the concept you want to understand 00:01:24.510 --> 00:01:26.510 take a blank piece of paper 00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:30.900 and write that nina back concept all the paper 00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:32.490 the second step 00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:37.030 is to explain the idea of yourself as if you were to teaching it to someone who 00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:39.100 did not understand it at all 00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:40.610 this is crucial 00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:45.439 because explain yourself already ideas you understand as well as the ones 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.340 don't understand perfectly 00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:51.640 you gain a better understanding and it helps you pinpoint exactly things 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.990 you don't understand 00:01:53.990 --> 00:01:55.740 whenever you get stuff 00:01:55.740 --> 00:02:00.360 go back to the reference materials lectures were teachers system 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:05.110 and will retrieval related material until you get enough that you can explain it 00:02:05.110 --> 00:02:07.079 on the paper 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:08.129 finally 00:02:08.129 --> 00:02:12.669 where you write down weird your confusing explanation for something 00:02:12.669 --> 00:02:15.589 try simplify the language 00:02:15.589 --> 00:02:18.899 or creating analogy i understand it barely 00:02:18.899 --> 00:02:22.469 you notice that use both of these and is quick demonstration 00:02:22.469 --> 00:02:24.599 i've simplified the language of torque to explain charge of twisting 00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:28.249 second 00:02:28.249 --> 00:02:30.940 i was able to understand it terminology 00:02:30.940 --> 00:02:35.239 but taking it for factor and it describing it as a course for motion 00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:36.640 tightening with right 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:38.479 were losing with left 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.409 give us some examples of this technique they used to actual class 00:02:42.409 --> 00:02:43.909 luring in physics 00:02:43.909 --> 00:02:47.549 now you can use this technique for understanding mathematically technical 00:02:47.549 --> 00:02:48.369 classes 00:02:48.369 --> 00:02:51.699 carefully walked into the steps to explain to yourself 00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:54.990 you can also use this technique and non-technical classes 00:02:54.990 --> 00:02:56.499 understanding began dies 00:02:56.499 --> 00:03:01.170 returned to put together a large amount of facts are confiscated the same place 00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:04.679 steven understanding to remember that indices context 00:03:04.679 --> 00:03:06.459 so how can use this technique 00:03:06.459 --> 00:03:10.459 want to try to understand idea if you walk through this technique very slowly 00:03:10.459 --> 00:03:14.430 to pinpoint exactly what you don't understand so you can go to the textbook 00:03:14.430 --> 00:03:19.029 or a teacher or a lecture notes to figure out exactly a concept missing 00:03:19.029 --> 00:03:21.679 if you try to remember the idea better for tests 00:03:21.679 --> 00:03:23.319 if you go through the idea 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.879 and focus on creating better analogies or simplifying the words of your 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.259 explanations even more as you can understand it more effectively 00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:35.499 finally if you want to use this technique to study for tests you can go 00:03:35.499 --> 00:03:39.489 through the technique without looking at your reference materials that point 00:03:39.489 --> 00:03:43.979 that's a really good sweet he self cast to see if you understand ideas deeply he 00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:47.789 can go through it all and explain it deeply without referencing textbook 00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:52.089 material then you understand the idea edited level 00:03:52.089 --> 00:03:56.809 so go use this technique right now taking a blank piece of paper write our topic 00:03:56.809 --> 00:03:59.099 that you're trying to understand ? for 00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:00.250 and go through it 00:04:00.250 --> 00:04:03.760 it will take fifteen minutes but he did not have it using this technique it's a 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:05.079 very efficiently 00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:06.529 we to learn and study new material
