This is Nice; Thank You!
This excerpt is funny but very True: Every lecture should state one main point and repeat it over and over, like a theme with variations. An audience is like a herd of cows, moving slowly in the direction they are being driven towards. If we make one point, we have a good chance that the audience will take the right direction; if we make several points, then the cows will scatter all over the field. The audience will lose interest and everyone will go back to the thoughts they interrupted in order to come to
our lecture.
Any other papers/notes like this you can share?
- yesenadam 5y agoI can't think of anything, sorry. ..Except Bill Thurston wrote some great stuff about how mathematics is done, written, and taught, in some papers and in comments on math overflow, but I don't have links to hand for that.
