As a front end developer, I do not need Math, however, I want to seriously learn it so that, maybe, one day, I might be able to get so good at it as to get into AI.
I started with Algebra 1 and quickly realized I needed to brush up on pre-algebra. I found a course on great courses and going through it.
As I write this I learned and practiced long divisions and fractions.
At the moment, if I need to work out 3x9 I might need to do 9+9+9.
I'm thinking the more I work with math, the more clear the pattern will become, for example, the 9 times tables are the number minus one and then whatever goes up to 10 9xY = [Y-1][10-Y]
Should I stop and memorize the times tables - which I find the most boring thing in the world. Or should I carry on and trust that it will become natural?
