Quote
The great misconception about mathematics — and it stifles and thwarts more students than any other single thing — is the notion that mathematics is about formulas and cranking out computations. It is the unconsciously held delusion that mathematics is a set of rules and formulas that have been worked out by God knows who for God knows why, and the student’s duty is to memorize all this stuff.
