I've never seen that quote before, but it feels very human.
I feel like there's an intuition which comes along with learning things. Or maybe learning is simply developing intuition.
At some point things somehow just make sense in your mind because you've built up an intuition of how it works.
- hintymad 6y agoI learned it the hard way, as I hit a wall when taking a course on abstract algebra, that the only path to truly understanding college-level math is building solid intuition. Otherwise, the sheer number of definitions and theorems will just be overwhelming. Of course, intuition is as critical for pre-college math. It's just that we somehow get the intuition naturally probably because we get to experience all kinds of examples on a daily basis to hone our intuition unconsciously.
- Koshkin 6y agoAt some deep level, a key to understanding abstract-algebraic objects is to think about them geometrically. L'algèbre n’est qu’une géométrie écrite, la géométrie n'est qu'une algèbre figurée. — Sophie Germain
