I had pretty terrible math education in school but as an adult I’ve gotten into programming and making video games and every time I learn a math concept I think “wow, math is even cooler than I thought” but the main part stopping me from learning some concepts is not having a practical example.
I vaguely know differentiation and integration… I think it might be the correct way to describe things like determining/applying acceleration to an object over time… but when I read your description I really don’t understand…
I think that’s in general what I run into with math. it’s cool and amazing when I get it, but a lot of the descriptions of concepts have a lot of assumptions about the reader sometimes to the point where to understand the description you’d have to already understand the concept.
