How did you discover your passion in life?

@JRVanguard math is hard

@Stark It was more how college taught it for me. I didn’t like that they preferred making you remember formulas over actually understanding why something works

@JRVanguard How did college crush your passion?

@SW-User Too regulated for me, I didn’t have the freedom to experiment with math or formulas or anything. It was just “do this this way” and nothing else

@JRVanguard I was not aware that math had room for experimentation. The current education system does take creativity out back to die though.

@JRVanguard I think my highschool math was like that all about all these random formulas. I saw a video a long time ago about how those formulas are actually not necessary. In other countries they don’t even teach them and how they can solve more problems without focusing on various formulas also how other countries are so much more ahead in education than America I wish I could find the video. It was really interesting but I saw it a really long time ago.

@Stark Yeah my high school was a bit like that too but if I understood how it worked I didn’t need the formulas. Like when you get into trigonometry and get to sin^2 +cos^2 = 1 they just expect that to make sense, but there’s a reason it works that they don’t bother to show you

@JRVanguard I think that’s what they were explaining in the video they actually mentioned how the formulas hold you back a bit due to that when it comes to solving other problems or something. It’s was mind blowing

@Stark Oh yeah when you see the formulas actually broken down and explained and understand them instead of remembering them it’s so much easier
