¿Do you like math?

in english •  8 years ago 

great read here .
i've seen students not like problem solving in math like word problems
especially in calculus (rate of change .. fluid problems), algebra or geometry
maybe students feel like they dont have the tools to find the answer .
if you google word problems in calculus , algebra , or geometry, differential equations, you may see that it seems like the teacher throws the student into an known world of solving an engineering problem.. ( even if they should seem to be prepared)
i personally like and for me the first step was getting over fear and anxiety whilst learning and practicing problems because the brain can get really distracted and not learn as well in fearful state.
i actually dropped out as a seniour math major because Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra and Differential Questions are not useful to me PERSONALLY ( or to MY career) even though we all unknowingly use it sometimes. i just use in day-to-day life without focusing on it entirely and its just more natural and easy.
anyway great post . and i love you for your ambition !

The mathematic is part of our life, is inside our brain; If we wat do not explain the discoveries of the same truth in mathematics, by different mathematicians, in different places and at different times, there are many examples, among them we have the Pythagorean Theorem. Mathematics is in everything, it is the basis of computer technology, and all the technology we use. It is in our life, in our society, in everything. If that is so, why not pay more attention to this problem that I am posing, we must find a solution, with alternatives that go beyond just teaching repetitive algorithms, that in the case of teachers; But in the case of most people there should be a desire to know more about the nature of mathematics.
