Math Relearning
Introduction
This project is an exploration of mathematics from the perspective of someone who has learned some, forgotten most, and wants to learn more. I'm starting from the most basic concepts of pre-algebra, and I'm hoping to work through the typical American curriculum through geometry and then to cover some advanced areas that are related to my other projects. I won't set out a more detailed roadmap until I get closer to those waypoints.
I'm not a mathematician, and I'm not writing a textbook. These are just my notes and reflections on aspects of math that I think will help me understand it. Maybe they will help some of you as well.
My major assumption in this project is that mathematical concepts relate to each other and to the world, and that knowing these relationships can help us understand, remember, and use these concepts. It can also help us appreciate them as objects of beauty, which can itself help us remember them.
