- xtiansimon 2y agoDOAH! ...I was saying, I tried to learn some useful Calculus back when I was doing Macromedia Flash a hundred years ago, and just could not get through it using academic resources. Too generic. Fast forward and I came back to math for Python projects. And by this time youtube and authors like Khan Academy are making learning materials which let you enter in the middle and work your way in whichever direction suits your goals. But what changed me from "I'm not good at math, so I hate math" to loving it was history of mathematics--the stories of the really interesting problems, and insights into the structure, theories of mathematics. I stopped thinking of math as a black box, and started to see its beauty and simplicity.
