An interesting essay and a comic.

I found something interesting on Reddit today, which is somewhat connected to the content of yesterday's posting. Here is an essay by a teacher and mathematician arguing that math education is too focused on notation and formulas instead of teaching kids about the art of discovering elegant numerical patterns and relationships. He suggests that mathematics should be art and play.

Also, here is the math subreddit.
