You said it's "boring for the smart ones," which I took to mean that if we go by the methodology I'm suggesting, we'll bore all the smart students, they'll have less knowledge, and we'll produce fewer good ones. Maybe…
Interestingly (I'm one of ther guys self-teaching as an adult), this is exactly how I'm learning. I'm doing a course that uses Jupyter to cover all of the major areas up to linear algebra. I also aced my Geometry class…
I'm not really convinced that's the case. As I mentioned, the Russian system is apparently very much like this, and they don't seem to have a problem producing large numbers of advanced quantitative thinkers. I also…
I responded to the comment above with some examples of the kind of thing I'm hoping for. I don't think a deep philosophical discussion about math is necessary. Just reinforce the idea that math is a symbol system for…
I think three things would have done it: 1. A clear explanation of a symbol system and how math is a symbol system to deal with issues of quantity, shape, structure, and logic. 2. Frequently converting between…
