I actually deleted a rant that completely says what you just said. I 100% agree. It's mind boggling how much intuition is available to explain maths. It oddly just... makes visual sense. It's "simply" an explanation of what's around us.
Yet, when discussing it, <i>while learning</i> with math folk, it's usually met with "You don't have a degree" or "That's not a formal understanding of the definition, come back". It's completely exclusionary and killed much of my math passion until recently.
- stuxnet79 11y agoIt seems a lot of concerns about math pedagogy tend to be killed off with "you don't have a degree", "you don't have the math gene" kind of rhetoric which is a pity. I discovered I really liked math waay too late for my tastes and it was mostly because I was being taught math by people who didn't really know math.
