How to be wise

A more truer approach to mathematics

4 posts in this topic

Although this is still mind stuff, this is a far better approach to mathematics, because it is more related to your direct experience.

 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

Yeah that channel is awesome. Read how to think like a mathematician book if you're more interested in. Also read the Euclid's elements book. I don't know why they don't teach us the essentials and where these are all came from.

>tfw I learned newton never used F=m.a instead expressed force as F = dp/dt

 

EDIT: that's Riemann summation at it's core btw what vid you've just posted

@How to be wise I've watched those videos, they're pretty good. Bear in mind that everyone learns things differently. The maths in this video is no more "actual" than other sources of math, it's just that the video tries to develop your intuition.

@non_nothing Yeah F=ma is still correct even in the cases where mass is not constant, you just have to bear in mind that mass is a function of time. 


Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.
