We all have our own ways of studying mathematics. Some of us
are distracted while we are surrounded by people, while to others it makes no
difference. Some of us do mathematics while listening to music, while others
simply cannot concentrate if music is on. Generally the following five places
are suitable for doing mathematics in different scenarios.
1.
Library
Your college or university library
can be a suitable place for doing your math-questions, especially for those
individuals who prefer a silent environment to concentrate.
Scenario Library can be
utilized for doing mathematics immediately after your class to revise what you
are taught in the class. This is the best timing to revise what you were taught
in the class since most part of the lecture is still fresh in your mind.
2.
Parks
Parks can be a good place to do
math problems especially if you want to refresh your mind with the oxygen-rich
environment of the park.
Scenario It is
scientifically proven that studying at a novel place increases your retaining
power, therefore if you are faced with some novel mathematical problems, you
can always complete them in a park. While revising later on, your mind will
co-relate such problems with the park you visited and you can recall such
problems (or formulas) easily.
3.
Friend’s House
You can do mathematics at a
friend’s house on a weekend and revise the entire week’s problems.
Scenario Friend’s home is
most suitable for such math problems that require combined-study. You can ask
your friend the problems that you were facing during the week and in turn
he/she can ask you.
4.
Hostel
You can do mathematics at a hostel
most preferably near the examinations. This will enable you to avoid the
distractions that you were facing while studying at home.
Scenario Here it is worth noting
that the practice of going to hostel for preparation should actually enable you
to avoid distractions. If you are still distracted in some way, you preparation
may not be effective.
5.
Relative’s House
It can help you to revise the most
boring topics of mathematics. It might seem to be an inoperative way but you
will realize that it is a helpful way of doing mathematics. While visiting a
relative you can reduce the boredom of a topic by blending it with the
excitement of meeting your relatives (eg. your grandma). And if your grandma
can help you with maths, this can have even a more positive impact (since it
will also bring the novelty-clause into play).
Scenario The topics that
you consider easy are many-a-times neglected because you feel bored while revising
them. In such cases, you interest can be developed if you take such topics to a
relative’s house and revise them casually (rather than not revising them at
all). Remember: Our motto is revision.
Notes:
a)
This list is not
exhaustive.
b)
There is no priority in
selecting a place. Moreover, if you can do mathematics more effectively at your
own house. Stay there! Our strategy should be to pass, not to jump from place
to place.
