@michaelcaisse.bsky.social@michaelcaisse.bsky.social → @michael.caisse.ioIt was a period of adjustment to learn math in a non-visual way, but somehow I adjusted. Either way, Grant's visuals offer insights I hadn't considered before. I wish I'd had them when I was originally learning, haha. That's another reason to keep doing math, to share joy with each other.
Show PostAddendum: I found two typos rereading this just now. I apologize, I was in a rush as I both wrote and quickly proofread this thread---I was also preparing to go to work. Thanks.
Show PostIf at the end of my life I look back and was able to help folk---even indirectly---because of my math training, I won't regret having put in the work to for my undergrad degree regardless of whether or not I get a comfy career out of it. Anyway, those are my thoughts I guess. Thanks.
Show PostFinally, the point was also made in the video that educational institutes produce a lot of mathematicians who don't become professors. Instead they go into other fields and use their math to help in unexpected ways.
Show PostA big part of my intellectual identity is tied to math, but it was never about status or recognition, otherwise I would've probably went for a PhD. I do it for the love of math itself, and like him I will keep doing it at my own pace for the pure joy of learning new perspectives about the world.
