L’obscurité des eaux - Alejandra Pizarnik

aurorasparapensamientos:

Escucho resonar el agua que cae en mi sueño.
Las palabras caen como el agua, yo caigo. Dibujo
En mis ojos la forma de mis ojos, nado en mis
Aguas, me digo mis silencios. Toda la noche
Espero que mi lenguaje logre configurarme. Y
Pienso en el viento que viene a mí, permanece
En mí. Toda la noche he caminado bajo la lluvia
Desconocida. A mí me han dado un silencio
Pleno de formas y visiones (dices). Y corres desolada
Como el único pájaro en el viento.

my entire math life

This is basically the problem with the entire modern educational system.

Time to do unpopular opinion? Time to do unpopular opinion.

Balancing a checkbook is applied addition and subtraction, stuff of the third grade. Okay, yeah, it is a failure of the modern educational system if he hasn’t learned it by now.

Imaginary numbers interact with real numbers (1, 2, π, 1.5, etc) for complex numbers, and are useful if you want to get into engineering or science — you know, high paying jobs.

Remember Tomb Raider? How they make her turn? Quaternions, which use THREE sets of imaginary numbers.

Like how your cell phone gets reception? That requires resonance, the understanding of which can be aided by complex numbers.

And don’t even get me started in the more exotic physics like fluid dynamics or quantum mechanics. That is, the forefront of how planes fly and how computer chips work.

There’s this term, innumeracy, that is to math what illiteracy is to english. One thing that bugs me is when ignorance is paraded about, when one acts as if math is an optional knowledge. Doubly so when it’s the very thing holding them back.

The failure is not in teaching these things, but the lack of teaching about why we should care about these things.

Thank you maths side of tumblr

The failure is not in teaching these things, but the lack of teaching about why we should care about these things.

Come to think of it, that’s applicable to how a lot of subjects are taught.

But I’m afraid maths gets the worst of it, really. I mean, how often have you heard people complaining about history? Social sciences? Even chemistry, which is more specialised than maths? No, maths gets the worst of it by far, and everyone demonises it because no one ever tells them that maths is a language, and a quite difficult one at that, because it’s the language of the Universe (of god, if you will).

Not only that, but it’s also the only language that’s truly universal (we’re certain aliens will arrive at the same maths we have) and that can truly explain everything that’s in principle conceivable. Human language can describe the stuff we see, and some extrapolations we imagine; maths can describe everything that is, was, will be, has never been, and could ever be.

Everything is maths.

THANK YOU

I think the mistake here, aside from the lack of teaching that “Everything is maths” (which I consider relatively true), it’s our archaic education system wich insists and emphasizes competition and the need for being all qualified by teachers (using the same standards for everyone, pretending them all to be an A)… This only stresses pressure on students. They end by not consider any real importance of learning this kind of subjects (which can be really hard for some of them, as we accept we are all different and have different interests and potentials) Not to mention that this system doesn’t work in an age of exacerbated entertainment invasion, a poor quality info saturation., and a constant exposure to more addicting and distracting technology… 

Thera is a lot of factors, this is just one of them
