On the latest episode of LLE we look at why math(s) can be both easy and difficult by looking at the brain. Also Ella hates maths but loves Sudoku????? Hmmm.

Hey, I am the guy who asked about maths in the q&a. It seems you have already started seeing maths through a different lens. It always pains me to hear people talk about how much they dread maths, especially when their experience with and view of the subject is limited to mandatory classes.
Maths is so much more than numbers, arithmetic, calculus and statistics. To me it is more about reasoning in general, about what we can guarantee to be true given certain conditions hold. Numbers and calculus and the like are simply the tools we have developed to make oir statements more general.
Currently, I have listened to Tom's topic on psychology of maths and started Ella's topic on sudoku. The realizations you have already made about how maths is more than the dreadful statistics shoved through your mouth are wonderful to listen to. I hope this continues through the sudoku topic.
As you might have noticed, this is something I am very passionate about. So thank you all for this episode. Hopefully this will help people realise that maths is more than what you are taught in school. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need more convincing that maths is fun.
LOVE to think about Math AND Sudoku! I paused frequently throughout listening just to steep in the topic for a while and collect my thoughts, great episode!
I know it's not really the main topic but when you were talking about kids I was expecting conservation tasks to come up since it's related to math concepts https://youtu.be/gnArvcWaH6I?si=XxFggr_WHMdMSSsp
