@futurebird @whknott So much of the real problem is that there are “math teachers” and “not math teachers”. Knowing a subject does not mean one is a good teacher. My daughter suffered as a not math person for years until she finally got a teacher who knew how to teach instead of simply regurgitating the content in the text. Thank heaven for good caring teachers.

@futurebird There are so many weird and wonderful ideas in mathematics. Some infinities are larger than others, fractals, the Monty Hall problem. As David Hilbert once observed, “Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper.”#GBOD

@futurebird This was my experience with topology. It is a short trek from donuts and coffee cups to very dense equations.

@futurebird History of Math especially would benefit from a James Burke (Connections, The Day the Universe Changed) approach. Edna Kramer had a great book in 1951 titled The Main Stream of Mathematics that is somewhat in this vein.

@futurebird Every age has its idiosyncratic style. Looking at you, parachute pants and mullets.

The past is strewn with the ruins of the empires of tyranny, and each is a monument not merely to man’s blunders but to his capacity to overcome them.https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/mlks-final-message
