Share Bear posted:he could've saved a lot of time if he had said cube and asked you to figure out things for a cube or sphere rather than something i had to search the internet to find what it was well a cube is easy to deal with, a parallelepiped is something different so it makes for a more interesting example of how to approaching a thing you aren't sure about. the book is called how to solve it, not h*w*l

Share Bear posted:thanks... nerd well, there's never been a better time to try and get better at this stuff. it's maybe not super fun to have to stop and look a thing up on the internet, but we can and that's great. it's tough when you don't know what you don't know, and sometimes you have to go back and check out the fundamentals. what kinda math are you looking at?

rotor posted:ok so dance is important for ~reasons~ but how geometry works on a sphere is just plain frivolous. let me just write this down. more rear end-shaking in dance than in geometry

Brain Candy posted:i hated the horrible reasonless memorization and it was boring i have really benefited from teachers that go through proofs and derivations to show how everything works, and then it winds up all being connected and making sense *~WOW~* also i am bad keeping everything memorized so knowing where a formula comes from helps me tease it out when i can't straight up remember it
