Explains how our innate pattern-making abilities allow us to perform mathematical reasoning.
Explains how our innate pattern-making abilities allow us to perform mathematical reasoning. Why is math so hard? And why, despite this difficulty, are some people so good at it? If thereʹs some inborn capacity for mathematical thinking -- which there must be, otherwise no one …
