One problem learning new math in short sessions is that before internalization, notation is ephemeral. How does this apply to other domains?

@Meaningness That's why I'm excited about Wisdom & Sussman (http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/calculus-indexed.pdf …). The preface is compelling, but in practice…well, look.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
