Podcast Transcript

Good morning, everybody. I’m author Jonathan David. Welcome to Math Monthly. Math Monthly is a service I offer for students of PLEM: physics, language, engineering, and mathematics. What it is, is I go live on Zoom every day, and sometimes I stream to social media to show you guys how this works. I go live, and I write books live.

I did this as a trial over the summer, and I had a group of people who were joining Zoom sessions. We wrote this entire book right here, and it’s called Math Monthly. So I go live every day, and we take textbooks from random courses at the junior, senior, and graduate levels in math, physics, and engineering. We take problems from those books. Problems from those books. Problems from those books.

We take questions I’ve never seen before, that I’ve never solved before, from books I’ve never seen before, and I show you guys how to solve the problem from start to finish in the full circle of math using the book, the book, and only the book. I also show you guys how to prepare your résumé, how to build websites, and all these other things. Everything I do, I record through screen sharing live.

You can join these sessions as a member of my live Zoom sessions. When I go live in the morning, afternoon, or evening, there’s a new link put up on the website every time I go live. You’ll get a notification on social media that I’m live. If you want to engage with me and interact, then you go to the Zoom link, and you log on.

Your camera and your voice should not be shared. They will not be shared, but you’ll still be on the internet. So, if you don’t want to be exposed, you might want to keep your camera off, but there will be other people who have their cameras on. It’s a group meeting where you guys get to watch me do the lessons, engage, and ask questions.

I’m also doing step-by-step libraries to explain how to study math, from algebra to advanced math to quantum mechanics and physics. Right now, I’m focusing on two different textbooks: the textbook of index notation and tensor analysis for PLEM majors, and then we are going to be doing a linear algebra combination with differential calculus, differential equations, and vector calculus, leading to partial differential equations and their application to physics.

I’m writing all of these books to explain to you guys what you’re doing wrong in college and how you’re studying incorrectly outside of college. Mathematics is a language—a structured language that allows you to explain phenomena and predict outcomes. It’s not about problem solving. It’s about explaining how the universe works.

A lot of people get addicted to the endorphins that are released when they solve a problem. They get that box. They plug an answer into a box, and it goes, “Ding, ding, ding,” and it makes you feel high. Even if you cheated with AI to get the answer, it still makes you feel high because you got that casino slot machine: “Ding, ding, ding.” It’s a huge problem with our educational system.

These books that I write here, the full circle of math books, are very unique, okay? When you look at it, I take the question from a book. I take the answer. We put that down first so that we’re not worried about the answer. We’re worried about showing how to get from the question to the answer.

Then, in the full circle of math, we take the answer, and we prove that it satisfies the question. There are two questions within the question. You have the question where you write the solution leading to the answer. Then you prove the answer is correct. That’s the full circle of math.

You do this in theory. It’s a circle, a linking circle of truth. You do it in theory, meaning that it’s absolutely, 100% precise. However, when you take something out of theory, it is not precise. It has to be modeled. I always say that math is the study of truth, physics is the application of truth, and engineering is the approximation of truth.

This is what we learn in Math Monthly: how to actually understand math, how it works in theory versus how it works in application. Those of you who are in college could benefit greatly from this. It will be considered a research assistant position that you can put on your résumé. You will be partaking in the production of very advanced, mathematically based books written by an expert, and your input is very valuable during the sessions.

When I wrote this with a few of the students who were in the group, some of the input they put in—even though they were undergraduates; one kid hadn’t even started college yet—sometimes people just see things from a different angle. Together, it creates a beautiful array of information that covers the advanced mind and the basic mind. Your input is very valuable in that situation.

I invite you to take part in the program because it will be something that you can put on your résumé as a research assistant to Math Monthly with author Jonathan David, or Professor Tullis. My last name is Tullis. Author Jonathan David is my pen name. David’s my middle name. But, you know, Professor Tullis, you could call me at some point if I ever finished my PhD.

It’s very expensive to go to school. You get paid to do a PhD, but you still have to pay. It’s very expensive. I’ve been in the middle of grad school since before the pandemic, but inflation and money… So I still continue doing what I was going to do in school. I just do it on my own, and I invite you guys to take part in it.

You’ll get legitimate, actual experience doing research with a professional, and we’ll do original research too. That will not be streamed on YouTube. That’s going to be a private affair between us. I’ll be sharing with you guys my original research, and you can help me with it. When it becomes published, if you’re part of the group, you can have your name on that actual paper that’s published.

I made an original discovery that I submitted to the Journal of Number Theory years ago, and they want to publish what I did, but they want me to find applications for it first. That’s what we’re going to do together. We’re going to take my discovery, find applications, put it all together, and then submit it and see if we can get it published.

Outside of that, we’ll be writing textbooks: the linear algebra, vector calculus, and differential equations combination course leading to partial differential equations and their application to physics, higher math, theoretical physics, and engineering. This is very beneficial for any math, physics, or engineering major. Anybody who’s a hobbyist and wants to understand math at an actual PhD level at some point—it’s very beneficial for you. Very, very… I’m still waking up. Very beneficial.

That’s what Math Monthly is. Right now, I’m streaming live. There are people in the background watching this podcast right now. When I go live and do my podcasts and lessons, it’ll be streaming live for the most part. If you guys are in the Zoom sessions, you can partake in the lessons and ask questions while I’m doing it.

It’s very beneficial for the audience, too, to hear other people’s questions in the middle of the lessons and have them addressed while I’m doing the lesson. You’ll be able to take part in that Q&A.

If you’re a college student, do not sign up to ask me a million questions or do your homework. That’s not what we’re doing here. You’re engaging in research with me, okay? To get real-world experience. I’m not here to do your homework. I’m not here to play 20 questions with you. If you’re in college, you need to read the code of conduct, read the syllabus, and become self-sufficient, okay?

Every time you ask somebody else to answer your questions for you, you are becoming a non-scientist. A STEM major goes to college to become a professional problem solver without AI. You guys are not doing that. Once you understand how to solve problems like a professional, then you can use AI, and you’ll never want to ask anybody questions because you’re a professional problem solver.

If you’re a hobbyist, not in college, and you want to understand the structure of mathematics properly, this is a great place to do it. The way I teach, explain things, and write things is very, very professional and top-tier education, okay? I showed you guys my work compared to the professors at Harvard and Berkeley. Their papers looked like they were written by high school students. Mine look like they were written by a professional.

Now, I’m not saying I’m smarter than them. I’m just saying I’m more professional than them. That makes sense because they went to college and never left. I run businesses. I’ve worked in the real world. I’ve been in college.

You guys are not going to be professors. The majority of you are not going to go to grad school. The majority of you need a full understanding of the full circle of math and how to professionally write your solutions so that you can function in a business. That’s the other objective. I want to help those of you who are undergraduate students get a six-figure-income job offer in senior year.

The way you guys are going about your education right now, you are preparing yourself to go to middle school: writing with pencil and paper, using third-party software like Google Docs and Typst, and all this other stuff. You guys are preparing to go back to middle school. You’re not seeing the reason why you’re in college.

The average GPA for a PLEM major to get a job is 2.5. The average GPA for a PLEM major to go to graduate school is 2.5. That 2.5 is generally based on your GPA in your junior- and senior-year courses. You guys are focused on fictitious numbers that mean nothing. You need to focus on understanding the full circle of math and how to articulate it professionally.

This is a book I wrote. I did the cover art myself. There was no AI used at all in the production of this book. I did all the cover art in Canva. I did it live in front of an audience. I wrote the entire book live in front of an audience. I even manufactured and made this book myself by hand.

When you join the Math Monthly option, you will get these physical books from me. I will mail them to you every month. If you’re international, I’ll probably have to send you a third-party print, depending. It may be handmade, or it may be a textbook—a hardcover textbook—depending. Probably, you’ll get this right here. It’ll be just like this.

This is my product. I make it by hand. I sign it. I send it to you. You get a bookmark. This is all the work that we do each month. Everything I do in the Math Monthly journal, you can get mailed to you.

You will not be able to buy this anywhere. You will not be able to have access to the PDF of this anywhere. The PDF will never leave my computer. I will never publish this with any other company. You can purchase the physical book from me, or you can get e-book access on my website through an e-reader that I built with HTML.

When I do the lessons, I have them rewritten in HTML and LaTeX code, and I put them in an e-reader on my website. You have access to it that way, or you can buy the book from me directly. I will not do business with any other company, and I will not allow kids to pirate my content again.

This is Math Monthly. You can join me in my journaling of Math Monthly. We’ll do some basic math. We’ll do some advanced math. It’s essentially the same thing that PLEM Academy was over the summer, but I’m changing it. I need to make a focus so that you guys understand you’re joining a research position. You’re partaking in my research and my explanation and writing of these books.

I’m not doing your homework. I’m not going to solve your basic calculus problems because you’re stuck on them. I’m not going to play 20 questions with you. That was the problem I had with PLEM Academy. Half of the people wanted me to just do their homework and ask me a million questions. I kept telling them, “If you’re going to ask people questions, you need to go to business management, okay? If you can’t answer your own questions as a PLEM major, you’re in the wrong field.” I kept trying to explain that.

Then I had other people who hadn’t even started college yet, and other people who wanted entrepreneurial advice and things. I can answer those questions in the evening. In the morning and afternoon, you’re doing research with me. You’re learning math and physics. In the evening, I can do Q&A for any questions that you guys have.

I’ll be doing a morning thing like this with podcasts and afternoon writing. I’ll probably do lessons in the morning and afternoon too, that you guys can partake in. There’s no set schedule—pretty much in the morning for two to four hours, in the afternoon for two to four hours, and in the evening for two to four hours. I just log on. I stream live. You’ll be notified. You’ll get to know my routine.

For the most part, it’s this time, this time, this time: morning, afternoon, night. I’m a fairly routine-based person. My dog made sure of that. We’ll be writing these books right here. I manufacture these myself. It’s a very special product, and we write them together. You’ll have your name put in it for reference if you’re a member participating in the research program.

I’m going to show you guys everything you need to know about building your résumé, all the different software you need to learn, and how to integrate and put everything together so that you’re a professional, so that in senior year you get a six-figure job offer.

If you were part of PLEM Academy over the summer, it just kind of spiraled out of control. People weren’t signing up for what I was doing it for. They didn’t sign up for the proper reason. I need to redo all this to make sure you guys understand that you’re joining my research, okay? I’m not playing 20 questions with a child who can’t grow up and become self-sufficient.

The math that I’m doing in here, most of you will never understand. Some of you will understand by the time you’re 30. This is not math for children, okay? It’s going to take you 10 years of study to understand what’s in these books. That doesn’t mean watching it is not beneficial, but it might scare you. Some of you who are undergraduates, if you watch how you’re supposed to be doing math in junior and senior year, it might scare you, or it might wake you up.

If you can’t type the way I’m typing, the way I’m doing this, by the time you’re a senior, you’re going to have to go to grad school. Graduate school is not a success story. Graduate school is where people who cheated through their undergraduate degree go to redeem themselves.

When you look at a job application, nine out of 10 applications say a bachelor’s degree with X amount of years of experience, or a master’s degree with a little less X amount of years of experience, meaning you do not need a master’s degree. A master’s degree is for people who cheat in their undergraduate degree, or professionals who need to advance or cross-educate. Somebody might be an engineer, and they want to go into management. They might do a master’s in business management.

A bachelor’s degree is all you need to make a six-figure income if you do it correctly, and you should have that job offer senior year. If you’re in college, that’s part of the objective of what I’m doing. If you’re not in college and you just want to understand math and learn math like linear algebra and higher, I’m here to help you with that as well.

I’m going to be writing step-by-step textbooks from start to finish, covering these subjects in a way that you’ll understand, in a way that’s never been written before—a way that’s modernized. These subjects are subjects that an 18-year-old should be an expert at, but most 50-year-olds don’t even understand them. It’s something that needs to be integrated into education much earlier.

In the future, there’s not going to be AI taking over and doing everything for you. There are going to be scientists operating AI, and you guys are not going to be able to function in the future if you do not understand mathematics fluently. In order to understand it fluently, you need to study it day in and day out for a decade. That’s just how the average human body—that’s how long it takes to fluently understand something.

Ten years of day-in, day-out work, and the average person becomes an expert at something. That’s something that should begin at around the age of six for most people. You should know calculus by the time you’re 12. I know this because I didn’t get a middle school or high school education. When I started learning math, I started learning advanced math right off the bat. I’m like, “I could have been learning this when I was six. This is ridiculous.”

It’s not because I’m smart. It’s because the information is integrated into education incorrectly, and that needs to be addressed and changed for our future. Good luck getting politicians, though, to do anything until they rob you for 10 years.

Anyways, this is the beta edition of Math Monthly, what we did over the summer. Those of you who sign up will get a copy of this. This is the first edition, as a sign-up bonus if you sign up for the Math Monthly option. The mailing of this physical book is not included in the Zoom access or the digital access.

There are three levels of membership: digital access; Zoom access, which includes digital access; and then Math Monthly, which includes the physical mailer, Zoom access, and digital access. If you want the physical book with your name in it, signed by me, made by me, and mailed to you, you’ve got to be part of the Math Monthly membership.

If you just want to join the Zoom sessions, then sign up for the Zoom sessions. If you just want to watch the lessons afterward, when I categorize them on the website, then join the digital access.

If any of you purchased a lifetime access code for my fiction and audiobooks, there will be a link for you to download all of that. For the foreseeable future, I am abandoning entertainment, and I’m just going back to math and physics. There’s no money in entertainment anymore unless you bombard the world with ads, and it’s just annoying.

I do not want ads on my channel. I will have ads on some stuff, but not all the videos. All the videos that are embedded on my website, categorized subject to subject, topic to topic, dot, dot, dot—no ads whatsoever on my website. Some stuff that’s on YouTube might have ads because that’s just the way they have it set up. That’s the way they want it.

When this channel is monetized, I’ll have a spot for just ad-based stuff that’s free, but everything else is ad-free on my website.

If you want to join, kids, if you’re in college, my objective here is to explain to you how to be a professional, how to get the necessary skills, qualifications, and understanding so you can get a six-figure job offer senior year. If you’re not in college and you just want to learn math, then that’s also part of the deal. You get to join my research. We’re doing research.

When I’m solving these problems and writing these books, it’s a form of research. I’m inputting more information into my head to give myself wider knowledge, a broader problem-solving spectrum. Sometimes you get stuck on a problem, and you’ll never be able to solve it because you need to go learn another subject. That’s what we’re doing. All of this is research.

You’re essentially joining a research group, and you’ll get credit for assisting with research. You’ll get your name in the publication. My company is False Reality Publishing, False Reality Press. I’m author Jonathan David. I’m accredited, highly educated, and highly skilled. You get to take part in that research. It’s very cool.

You can put that on your résumé, and I can be a reference when you go to get a job and say, “Yeah, I did research with author Jonathan David in these books. I learned a lot. He taught me how to do all of these things, and then I learned them, and I became skilled at them—all these different software applications.”

When you guys are in senior year, if you have a résumé that confidently says, “I’m an expert with Microsoft Office tools. I’m an expert at integrating them with Adobe and Canva, other businesses, and publishing. I know how to use SAS and CAD and all this other software. I’ve got many years of experience using it with my homework. I know how to use HTML. I built a website”—which is something I recommend you guys do.

All the work that you do in college, you should dually host on your own personal WordPress website with your résumé so that, when you apply for a job senior year, employers can go to your website and see video recordings of all the work that you’ve done and HTML embeds of all the work that you’ve done.

You have videos of you using AI properly—not cheating on your homework, but using it to help you build things like WordPress websites, using HTML the way I do it. If you can show all of this, have it documented, have your résumé say this, and be confident with all of it, you will be the very first person they call for an interview, and they will hire you immediately. I know from experience. I have experienced that.

You guys will not get a job if you don’t stand out. You can’t. Every one of these jobs has like a thousand people apply for it, and none of them are qualified. The average college student walks away with zero years of experience using Microsoft Office, and they have zero years of experience being self-sufficient and self-reliant. They have 0% integrity. They cheated. They skipped lecture. They didn’t follow the code of conduct.

They’re not qualified to work at a company that has a corporate policy requiring you to show up to work, be civil to your coworkers, and use modern technology—use modern software, not third-party garbage. Those are the people you’re competing with: kids who cheat with AI and skip lecture. They’re not competition. They’re not going to get an interview.

You, though, can, but you need three to five years of confident experience so that you can say confidently, “Yes, I know how to use all of this software, and here’s my website. This is me documenting myself using all of this throughout college. You can see everything I did. I screen-recorded everything. You can see everything. I know how to do everything. I know how to use AI properly, and I know how to solve everything in the full circle of math. I know how to write professional papers, and I know how to use them with all this different software. I worked with Jonathan David. We did original research. I’m published in this book as a research assistant.”

You have this set up, you’re going to get a job. They’re going to call you and give you a job. If you’re a lecture-skipping, pirating, digital-content-stealing, cheating, AI-plagiarizing, Khan Academy-plagiarizing, Wyzant-tutoring, plagiarizing student, you are not getting a job anywhere. No one is going to hire you. You’re not self-sufficient. You’re not honest. You’re not reliable. You’re not capable.

That’s your competition. It’s not competition. You understand? A thousand applicants go to a job. The first thing they do is see which of you have Microsoft Office experience. Which of you say that you are self-sufficient, that you can work on your own, that you don’t need to cheat with AI, that you’re capable of solving these things on your own?

Nine hundred and ninety of the résumés are instantaneously tossed in the trash. The remaining 10 are the adults who have that experience and a couple of college kids who also have that experience. Then they have to weigh the options. Do they want to hire a young kid who does not have experience or an adult who has experience?

Then that’s the option. Who’s going to stay there longer? That’s what it comes down to. A college kid versus an adult—somebody who’s 40 with 10 or 20 years of experience, the same education as the college student with maybe one to three years of experience. Then they weigh the options.

They’re going to have to pay the adult twice as much as the kid. The kid’s going to get $80,000 a year. The adult’s going to get $160,000 a year. They weigh the options, so they interview both of you. Then they feel you out. They want to know who’s going to stay there longer and do a better job.

Is the adult going to work there for a couple of years and retire, or are they going to stay there for 10 or 20 years? Is the kid going to work there for a year, get burnt out, and quit, or are they going to stay there for 10 to 20 years? They’re going to try to feel you out. This is how the interview process is going to go for you.

Anybody who’s using third-party software throughout college and using Khan Academy, AI, and private tutors, you’re not getting a job anywhere. You’re not qualified for anything. If you don’t believe me, go look at a job application. It literally says everything that you think is good is bad. That’s part of what I’m showing you guys, okay?

Those of you who want to become highly compensated, highly employable professionals, I’m here to help you with that. I need to do this to repair the damage that I did to your education. I took part in this. I made thousands of lessons on YouTube helping you guys cheat. I helped hundreds of kids through their courses, helping them cheat by tutoring. I have to redeem myself, and I want to help you guys prevent yourselves from making a huge mistake.

I would leave you with this information: if you do not turn off the internet, read the code of conduct, follow the syllabus, go to lecture, and work with your professor—and only that—then you need to switch to business immediately. Otherwise, you are going to have a useless degree, and you probably won’t even graduate.

If you can’t do that, you need to switch to business. There are no buts. There are no howevers. There’s no, “What about this situation?” There’s you choosing to be successful by changing your major, or choosing to fail by continuing to destroy your future. That’s all it is.

Those of you who want to become elevated, who want to take part in a real research situation doing advanced math and physics, we’re going to look at basic problems with an advanced eye. We’re going to look at advanced problems with a basic eye, and everything in between, completing the full circle of math.

We take a question, we solve the problem, and we prove that the answer does satisfy the question without technology. Once you understand that process and know how to articulate it professionally, then you can use technology to assist you, like AI. You have to understand how it works first.

You have to understand the difference between theory and application, and I will make that abundantly clear to you. The difference between theory and application—we’ll talk about that. Everything you need to know about math, physics, engineering, and how it works in the real world versus research and theory. We’ll do this together as a team. It’ll be a beautiful thing.

So, join Math Monthly. There are three tiers. There’s the digital access tier, which will give you ad-free access to all the lessons, organized. Then there’s Zoom access, which is the next tier. When I go live, you just go click the link. I’ll put a new link on the website every time I go live. You’ll know when I’m going live. You’ll be alerted, whatever.

Then there’s the Math Monthly option, where every month I will consolidate everything we did into a book. I will print it out. I will sign it, and I will mail it to you. I’ll do this on camera. You’ll get to watch me create the book you’re going to get, and your name will be put in it as a research assistant. Very valuable information. Very valuable to have that on your résumé. It’d be very valuable.

Spending a couple of years with me doing this daily or periodically, the experience that I can bestow upon you is invaluable. You will be highly employable and highly compensated, and you’ll have an edge on the competition because you’ll learn from the great master Jonathan David, or Professor Tullis—whatever you guys prefer. The professor.

So check it out, guys. Welcome to my channel. This is Math Monthly. Have a nice day. I’ll see you in the next one.
