>>12085763I've been doing that for some months now, I had to re-learn a lot of things even the most basic because we are raised to just memorize math and formulas but we never get a a proper explanation/demonstration, the best way to proceed is to use geometry and graphic-calculus to visualize what an operation or formula is doing or what it means, now I'm always trying to convert formulas to visualize them in my "mind's eye" (I'm not at a pro-level yet tho)
theres people that really understand math at an intuitive level and others that just are good at resolving math problem but don't have a real intuition, knowing how to solve math problems is not equivalent to have mathemathical intuition, in part this is the reason why we still don't have a software that can solve all possible math problems its because theres an intuition involved, math is not fully mechanical in every aspect
BTW one of the interesting things that I've realized is that A HUGE amount of impotant formulas were found by heuristics, this basically means that people did not get directly the formula or the pattern for something by way of pure reason alone ""just because they know so much"" but they got it almost by a process of trial and error so as to look for a solution that fits the behaviour of the natural phenomena, gravity and planck's equation are examples of this, them by analizing the "discovered formula" you can deduce more info about nature's behaviour
one simple exercise for the mind's eye is to visualize simple "distance problems"
