The Rule of 72 | BetterExplained
-
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.

How to Develop a Mindset for Math | BetterExplained
-
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

How to Read Mathematics
-
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. - 3 more annotations...
