I'm honestly not sure it will work for other people at all! But it's had a big impact on me, on those times I've tried it.

A new & peculiar essay, on a (very!) unusual approach I've been using to deepen my understanding of mathematics: http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics

It's based on a whole tonne of heuristics (many described in the essay) for really pulling the proof of a theorem apart, atomizing it into a million simple observations, a sort of proof network.

The end result (ideally) is a state of what I think of as "being inside a piece of mathematics", a sense of being able to work directly with the objects & change my understanding of them in a way that doesn't directly use conventional symbolic or verbal or visual representationspic.twitter.com/Jmyo3bi6hA

Is it possible that the Kolmogorov article you read was titled "The properties of inequalities and the concept of approximate calculations"? He wrote many pedagogical articles for grammar school level math. https://paperpile.com/shared/qCWYZi

I don't think so. That paper you shared looks interesting!

I'll try this! A good reminder of the idea I'd first read from
@barbaraoakley (which may look obvious to you but didn't to me at the time), that understanding and memorization are not enough and that you should play with the concepts in diverse ways until reaching fluency. -
I'm curious, do you actually have cards with blank answers?

you may wanna check out this math podcast on spaced repetition and forgetting:http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/blog/robert-and-elizabeth-bjork-memory-forgetting-testing-desirable-difficulties/ …

Thanks - I've learnt a tonne from the Bjorks, so this looks fun!
