Communicating Advanced Mathematics to Kids
A good place to promote this would be with secular homeschoolers. Those homeschooling for nonreligious reasons are often dealing with a bright kid interested in advanced subjects. They often need lay explanations that make advanced subjects approachable without dumbing it down.<p>A lot of stuff is intentionally overcomplicated. My oldest was furious when I finally explained to him that algebra is basically renaming the blank space in an equation as X so you can more easily move the blank space around.<p>He had been doing algebra in his head for years to infer stats in games while simultaneously feeling baffled and intimidated by formal math, like the concept of algebra. He had assumed all variables were like E=mc^2 where letters stood for specific concepts, not for floating &quot;=___&quot;.
