I can tell you that math people also learn from the concrete. You do not learn math by reading it, but by fighting it.

- ackfoobar 3y agoI learned OCaml, which made programming "click" for me, partly by doing these exercises. Compared to the root comment's "building interesting things", it's definitely more abstract than concrete. https://ocaml.org/problems https://ocaml.org/problems I do see your point though. In the algebra class, I couldn't grok groups from the axioms, without first seeing some concrete examples. But the thing is, math people's "concrete" is already several layers of abstractions removed from reality.
