The article on math intuition plus the e article were incredible. I always knew how to work with them and sort of what they meant but never really intuitively. The articles were first time in a while that happened. Reminds me when I first learned the often-hated word problems were the best part of math that explained how to actually map it to real world. Equations took less thought for me so I avoided lots of word problem practice. Was glad I shifted back a bit before calculus or I'd never be able to explain what it was good for.

This guy's site should get more attention and probably an award. I'll be experimenting with less-math-inclined people to see how effective it is.




Yeah, the e article is awesome. Cleared up a lot of cobwebs in my brain..


Hey nick! Thanks for kind words, it's really touching to know when things are clicking. I'd love to see how things go with people that aren't math experts. My philosophy is I found one math up the mountain, it worked for me, but there's other ways too. It's awesome when people take the diagrams/analogies and adapt them for their own style. I saw your other comment too, will reply up there.
