Re: The Evolution of Teaching MathematicsThe 1980 and 1990 are the funniest, so accurate about how they try to teach math today that "Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true." Bertrand Russell #3 2009-09-01 10:59:30
Re: The Evolution of Teaching MathematicsFunny! And sounds about right, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman |
