I, lately, have been using YouTube viewing for most of my math and statistics studies.

For traffic engineering, I'm listening to a lecture at an Indian university (a bit painful, but I can manage with the material).

The expense of purchasing specialized books can be considerably reduced, and they are much easier to understand than technical books.

For example,

- Nobiyori Takumi (YouTuber) helped me calculate the Dijkstra calculation method.

- Aicia Solid helped me with the programming of the factor analysis.

Nobiyori Takumi (YouTuber) said some fun things here.(To YouTube)

People who gather in Shibuya to cheer for soccer -- don't know about offsides (laughter from the audience).

(The ticker states, "*Includes yellow card level prejudice.")

Please replay and listen to the story before and after this one.

What is an important point is

"Understanding is not everything in academia. It is also important to "want to support" the person absorbed in the subject."

-----

- I want to support my "second daughter," who dances yosakoi all over Japan in a university club while earning money for travel expenses through a part-time job.

- That approach sounds dangerous, but I want to support young researchers bold enough to take on this challenge.

(Anyone who says to a young researcher, 'That kind of research is meaningless,' I have killed him a hundred times in my head.)

And,

I want to support "me," who is desperately working hard on the columns and coding I want to do, even if I am taking precious time out of my life for research that will not bring a single millimeter of benefit to the world.

In other words, I like people who are "crazy" about something and want to support them (including myself).
