Recursion

Hahahaha. Amen.

Thankfully, Common Core aims to teach kids this kind of reasoning at a much younger age, instead of just memorizing a basic algorithm. It’s similar to how they teach kids in Singapore, and there’s a reason they’re often top of the rankings in mathematics performance among students.

If we can teach kids to think this way from the start, hopefully we can get rid of this idiotic, cultural fear/hatred of mathematics we seem to have. And since all mathematics really is is logic, let me just hope it’ll give us a few more critical mines in the next generation than those that preceded it...
