I knew about math BEFORE it sold out and got a pr firm.

I love math, and I know @Ornthoron does too! If it is convoluted and doesn't actually provide any real life improvements, I am all for it! Come to think of it, I have always enjoyed the abstract more than reality.

O ya, and people like Tyson that inspire the masses are the REAL things that can safe this country.

I'm against the idea of putting America in a Safe.

My sister just passed her GSCE maths. Grade C. She always struggled, I spent many an hour doing my best to help her revise and boy did she work hard at it. She clearly doesn't care for the subject or find it interesting so for her this pass is a great relief and I'm proud of her. Will she do any more maths? Not a chance.

I think if you want to get kids into maths I really think you have to get them early. People always say that they don't have a maths brain, and while I don't doubt that some people find it harder than others I just don't buy that we all pop out of the womb preprogammed to be good/bad at specific school subjects. If it is as Tyson says, that the learning of maths actually lays down the nuerons required for problem solving then perhaps poor tuition early on in a kids education can effectively stunt their ability to learn more. That was always the feeling with my sister, the foundations on which they were building the new knowledge either didn't exist or were weak, and its difficult to go back to basics without being insulting. I think the fact her interests have diverged away from Science/Maths towards the arts (she's a keen photographer) is because she was struggling with the Sciences rather than the fact she struggles with the Sciences because she is more artistically inclined. (And I think this Science vs Art is a false duality, but thats another matter )

Anyway, just my thoughts/ramblings.

Need a sift version of when auto correct fails.

You're a hipster mathematician?
