But, media consumption habits to a certain degree, do dictate our thinking and how much and how long we can actually concentrate, no? I also agree that we need not do everything the same way we have done before and there are different ways

Edit: Made my points subjective Harder for me. I thought I can while reading fiction. "Gravity's rainbow" proved that wrong too. What I mean is, I am more aware of information flow particularly because it is not the natural w

This is a personal take. I agree if you are actively participating and grappling with the material in your mind. One reason I like reading is that, if I don't understand I cannot move on to next step. So, it forces me to actively parti

Got it. What is the common phrase used in this case? Same as what sibling comment has said?

I think real genius is translating all the heavy symbolic manipulation into visual processes, that people can see and interpret. Suddenly, you are not seeing some abstract derivation somewhat removed from real world, but another real visual

Non native speaker here. Will remember this. Hm... Saw that, I have used it multiple times in my comment. I was just trying to convey the meaning. What is right use of word? What would be right word to use here?

Caltech's learning from data was really good too, if someone is looking for theoretical understanding of ML topics. https://work.caltech.edu/telecourse

If anyone wants to delve into machine learning, one of the superb resources I have found is, Stanfords "Probability for computer scientists"( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MuDZIAzBMY&list=PLoROMvodv4... ). It

For calculus history, one of my earliest books I read was "Calculus wars" ( https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Wars-Jason-Socrates-Bardi/dp... ). This also is a essentially book about the Newton and G W Leibneiz.

Even just saying the whole thing out loud again and again, makes the talk better. Because, you would understand what you whizzing past, what you are spending time on and reduces the time you would buffer while talking.
