- By the way, the Rule of 72 applies to anything that grows, including population. Can you see why a population growth rate of 3% vs 2% could be a huge problem for planning? Instead of needing to double your capacity in 36 years, you only have 24. Twelve years were shaved off your schedule with one percentage point.

- Elegant, “a ha!” insights should be our focus, but we leave that for
  students to randomly stumble upon themselves. I hit an “a ha” moment after
  a hellish cram session in college; since then, I’ve wanted to find and share
  those epiphanies to spare others the same pain.

- A reading protocol is a set of strategies
  that a reader must use in order to benefit fully from reading the text.
  Poetry calls for a different set of strategies than fiction, and
  fiction a different set than non-fiction. It would be ridiculous to read
  fiction and ask oneself what is the author's source for the assertion
  that the hero is blond and tanned; it would be wrong to read
  non-fiction and not ask such a question. This reading protocol
  extends to a viewing or listening protocol in art and
  music. Indeed, much of the introductory course material in literature,
  music and art is spent teaching these protocols.
- The beauty in a novel is in the aesthetic way it uses language to
  evoke emotions and present themes which defy precise definition. The
  beauty in a mathematics article is in the elegant efficient way it
  concisely describes precise ideas of great complexity.

- - Don't assume that understanding each phrase, will enable you to
    understand the whole idea. This is like trying to see a painting by
    staring at each square inch of it from the distance of your nose. You
    will get the detail, texture and style but miss the picture completely.
    A math article has a story! Try to see
    what the story is before you delve into the details. You can go in for
    a closer look once you have a framework to fill with details, just as
    you might reread a novel.
  - The best way to understand what you are reading is to make the idea your own.
    This means following the idea back to its origin, and rediscovering it for
    yourself. Mathematicians often say that to understand something you must first
    read it, then write it down in your own words, then teach it to someone
    else. Everyone has a different set of tools and a different level of “chunking
    up” complicated ideas. Make the idea fit in with your own perspective and
    experience.
  - Most math books are written with
    assumptions about the audience: that they know certain things, that
    they have a certain level of "mathematical maturity", etc. Before you
    start to read, make sure you know what the author expects you to know.
