Date: June 15th, 2017 8:29 PM Author: God Dead (big in boise) Most people's MO with math is to use some TTT 'system' for solving shit, without actually understanding the underlying logic. It's harder to get by without actually thinking when the problem is phrased in terms of words. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3648994&forum_id=2#33568323) |

Date: June 15th, 2017 8:37 PM Author: ethmo I thought new math focused on things like set theoretic concepts underlying mathematics and abstract algebra. This was definitely one of the more retarded educational fads. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3648994&forum_id=2#33568382) |
