| Oct 27, 2018 at 15:24 | comment | added | Noah Schweber | I think a drastic change of mindset is required to learn higher mathematics. That doesn't mean throwing away computation, but embracing proof - partly recognizing the importance of proof, and partly coming to grips with proofs having structure beyond that of just algebraic manipulation (e.g. the first time a student learns about proof by induction). I do agree that devaluing computation is bad, but I think you're underestimating the conceptual change needed to move into higher mathematics. | |
