/sci/ - Science & Math

Listen. Many moons ago one of you anons dropped this pic in a tooker thread. I'd been on /sci/ for over a year, so the name wildberger wasn't new to me. Prior to reading the thread I hadn't realized /sci/ was shitposting about a guy named "wildberger". We all know /x/ is usually wrong about everything but a broken clock is right twice a day and one time the Mandela Effect was fucking real you guys, but only happened once. There were around 1.5 of the 10 years since /sci/ was created when "wildberger" meant "zany autist" and nobody fucking noticed. I didn't even believe the tooker thread until after I ran a few google searches for "wildberger" and even then I was skeptical. Thinking about it now lends perspective to how closeminded it was to dismiss the truth of the tooker threads, but I am much wiser now. Feeling a bit dizzy, I spent some additional minutes researching "wildberger the person" and ended up on fucking /r/math. In particular I found one of their very popular threads about the man. I gathered from their discussion that he's a crank, and they like the AOC. I had no choice but to check out his channel. I love math schizos but most people just ignore them. Wildberger had to be the most controversial crank I'd ever heard of.
Once upon a rainy afternoon, I found the hours I needed, and when the mood was perfect, I checked him out. I actually watched his videos, and I really liked them. He's not a hack. He's not even boring, and most of what he says is well presented and entertaining. Please watch his videos before making fun of them, and please stop making fun of norman. I don't know how else to say it. He's really fucking wholesome you guys.

Can you please share a story? I am actually serious.

Norm is a blessing and he should be writing the syllabus. Kids would be finding doing complex geometry before the end of primary school.

Is Norm, dare I say it, /ourguy/?

Wildberger mathematics should replace the curriculum, because he's right. Something as simple as "angles" requires intense calculus to explain thoroughly (especially with a system as arbitrary as 360 degrees). Everything he does is built ground-up from absolute first principles, which people would understand if they watched his Math Foundations playlist from episode 1

It's been said that people learn best what they almost already know. Maths is so "confusing" and "weird" to the masses because we're asking them to "just trust us on this" as we take leaps of logic over discontinuities in the progression of mathematical topics. Norm fixes that so one thing naturally flows onto the next as you delve into deeper and deeper topics.

Anyway, I did BSc majoring in Geology and it slightly bugs me when people think California is gonna break off into the ocean because all faults are extensional apparently.
