Why? 😕
Being proficient at mathematics is one of the single best predictors of "success"1 in life.
What? 💭 🔢
A repository for us to collect links to good math tutorials, puzzles, insights & videos. And eventually to condense our knowledge into a series of tutorials that anyone can learn from. (but for now, let's just focus on sharing links ...)
Who? 👥
This repo is for anyone/everyone who hasn't won a fields medal. 😉
How? 💡
1By "success" we mean intellectual & financial success within the axiomatic confines of "modern" society which is governed by math. We don't remotely suggest that being a "math wiz" is guaranteed to make you more "fulfilled" or a "better person" or make your life/work more "meaningful". What is certain, however, is that (at least in western society) people who are "good at math" tend to be decent at accumulating/managing a budget i.e. cash(flow) (note: correlation != causation) and in some cases people use their math knowledge/skill to "invent money"!! (i.e. their knowledge of math means they can "quit the day job!") e.g: James Harris Simons: https://youtu.be/gjVDqfUhXOY or Satoshi Nakamoto https://youtu.be/JQRTzIMsKuA
