What?!
I've wasted so much of my life.
- kalid 11y agoI think I left a palm-print on my forehead when I saw that.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoMe too. I was even a math geek but didn't understand most of it. I knew all the rules for equations plus heuristics for how to apply most of them. I can only imagine how much more effective I'd have been if there was a constant, parallel learning process focusing on intuitive understanding of all foundational concepts in various math branches.
- twobits 11y agoIndeed. The site is amazing, and Kalid is to be praised to heavens and back. But a man is a man, and he can do so much. My main, very sad, take away from that site, was how ridiculously bad math teaching is everywhere else. It's easily in the criminal area. To put but the simplest of examples, I have an MSc in math, and I was never told in uni (or figured out by myself), that "i" is "turn 90 degrees". That site should be required reading in many unis, to teach people how to teach. At least save the new generations :-/
