I hated math in middle-school and early high-school. It was boring and rote.
But proofs based math, and learning how to think of math as a language, instead of a collection of overly specific "solutions" crammed into my head by teachers, was the key.
- sjg007 9y agoI never got proofs. I wish I did.
- tnecniv 9y agoThe thing that made it click for me was getting a "first principles" book for something relatively simple like Linear Algebra (or some basic CS-flavored discrete math book). These books prove everything, and reading the proofs the author wrote made me recognize what you needed to do to prove something.
