Correct me if I'm wrong, I've all ways seen Maths to be easy part. The translation of English Language (grammar, sentence structure) that can be ambiguous to a very precise meaning such as Math's to be the hardest part and where people with good translation skills excel.
- tel 10y agoI think much of maths is that translation. You learn a lot of mathematics and you recognize powerful, subtle, deep patterns. Then you spend your time looking for those patterns in the world. It's the same thing with even the most basic "translation problems" that kids in schools learn. They're armed with arithmetic and high-school algebra so they get arithmetic and high-school algebra "real world" scenarios to analyze. At higher levels its the same. The problems are just harder and the patterns aren't necessarily given to you. Sometimes, oftentimes, nobody even knows what they are.
