Математика

[posic]

Im explaining in Russia to students that real math is pain. And they should choose other way if they afraid of pain. At all levels you mostly fight with problems which you can't solve. But if you break the wall you will feel much much more than fun.

Напомнило слова из лекции Фейнмана: "When you are thinking about something that you don’t understand you have a terrible, uncomfortable feeling called ‘confusion’. It’s a very difficult and unhappy business. So, most of the time you are rather unhappy, actually, with this confusion. You can’t penetrate this thing. Is it because we are all some kind of apes that are kind of stupid working against this? Trying to figure out to put the two sticks together to reach the banana and we can’t quite make it? And I get that feeling all the time: that I am an ape trying to put two sticks together. So I always feel stupid. Once in a while, though, everything — the sticks — go together on me and I reach the banana."
