I’m gonna be honest y’all, all throughout my life people have given me so much shit for asking why something happens- repeatedly calling me childlike, telling me that’s just the way it is, it is what it is, etc. Shit sucks

Bringing this back to math though, the best math teachers I’ve ever had didn’t see a problem with providing the “why” and when that was given, I kinda succeeded. Who could’ve guessed, I didn’t hate math and thought there was a chance that I could do it if someone explained it in my language!

Trying to relearn some stuff for my own benefit, thought this new comm might be a good place to start my journey so let me know if you have any suggestions!

    Yeah I think I need a brush-up starting at college algebra. I suppose this might be the case for all maths, but there were some sections that came relatively easy and some that were pretty challenging.

    I should’ve spent more time on the challenging sections in retrospect but instead decided that I was incapable of those which kinda echoes some of the sentiments discussed in a previous post here, interestingly enough.
