Over 697k people make up the r/theydidthemath community and it’s been active since the Spring of 2013. Since then, they’ve partnered up and made friends with lots of other math and science-related subreddits that show the joys of being competent in your field and mixing that with a good sense of humor.
The r/theydidthemath subreddit isn’t just for showing off, though. It’s a friendly community that encourages people to ask for help from its members with any math-related problems that are making their lives miserable.
Like with all things in life, getting good at math means putting in the time and practicing. You could have the best tutors, the brightest study buddies, and the most brilliant textbooks by your side (they certainly don’t hurt), but at the end of the day it all comes down to you sitting down and solving problems the old fashioned way.
With a sharpened pencil. A piece of paper. And an eraser the size of your headache. It’s about focused, smart, and daily practice. I’ll be completely honest with you for a moment: every single time that I was falling behind in math class, I’d get my grades back up when I put in genuine effort.

But I’d never have made it if I didn’t have some incredibly friendly math sorcerers by my side, explaining things to me like I was 5 years old. Once you get the logic behind why certain calculations work like they do, things come more naturally… until you hit the next big roadblock. Hey, we can’t all be great at math (and I peaked in that area in the 3rd grade, unlike those who take their time and Do. The. Math.).
