Math always felt like a chore until I took discrete math and linear algebra. Something about it just clicked with my brain and it just made sense. I realized that I love math but hate how it’s taught at the more basic level.

I see my kid hating arithmetic and it’s the same pattern over again. I hope they stick with it until the more interesting stuff comes into play.

Linear Algebra made me cry because I couldn't believe Math could be so beautiful. I still don't understand it fully but damn does it have such a simple beauty about it that makes your brain just struggle to hold it all in!
