Learning Math Efficienctly and Succeeding in Grad School

soft-question education advice intuition self-learning

Solution 1:

You really want to give your world of math another dimension where math sheds a light on you differently? Go into teaching. Rather than aiming for your students to become proficient at your level, you need to go down to their level and together meet the goals of the course curriculum. It's that aim to think at your students' math level to go through the material while you teach, that puts the math knowledge you aquired through the years in a different perspective. You will be so surprised how much you learn your own subject when teaching it to others.
