"Let's say, in the near future, tens of millions of students start learning math using online computer software. Our logs fill with a massive new data stream, millions of students doing billions of exercises, as the students work."

"A reading protocol is a set of strategies that a reader must use in order to benefit fully from reading the text. Poetry calls for a different set of strategies than fiction, and fiction a different set than non-fiction. It would be ridiculous to read fiction and ask oneself what is the author's source for the assertion that the hero is blond and tanned; it would be wrong to read non-fiction and not ask such a question. This reading protocol extends to a viewing or listening protocol in art and music. Indeed, much of the introductory course material in literature, music and art is spent teaching these protocols."

Really great article about PhD and scientific research.

by Paul Lockhart. "...the most blistering indictment of K-12 “math” education I’ve ever encountered." - S. Aaronson and I agree :)

Story about Feynman while he was in Brazil. And his critique on their education.

I occasionally get emails from people asking how to prepare for a career in software development. Some are students wondering what classes they should take; others have been bitten by the programming bug and are considering their next steps.
I always answer with the same advice. *There's no substitute for learning on the battlefield.*
