Problem is, you have to have a native speaker hear you say the words (in a sentence as well as standalone), and give you a feedback. Repeatedly, until you get it "right" (to the extent possible). Otherwise you won't get any

Sure, that's why we have "engineering mathematics" courses. This is not one of them.

Well, perhaps it's not meant to be the first book on mathematics one sees in their life.

You are saying two things: what we call objects (perhaps, except for "atoms") did not exist - in a meaningful sense of the word - until humans appeared and found it convenient to perceive them; and the nature admits no actual boun

Indeed, statistics (as opposed to probability theory) is more like physics, in its relation to mathematics.

You are essentially saying that the huggable "part of it" did not exist until the blind person has bumped into it. I think this would be a wrong way to look at things; in the end, though, all this comes down to people taking diffe

And in the Ancient Greek σχολή meant all of what we now have different words for: learning, lecture, and discussion. Which indicates that discussion may have been the preferred method of teaching (learning).

But unlike the transistor, and like the electron, the natural integers do exist in nature (i.e. have "natural existence"). To quote my other comment here, [number 3] exists as the thing that is common between three apples and t
