#MOOC
Are you going to sign up … to be a genius !!?
I don’t know … this video talks and talks about math (see 1mn43) 😉
What do you think ?
An advertisement for an EdX MOOC called Effective Thinking through
Mathematics which sounds like a great way to get kids to start thinking and
making that transfer to other disciplines.
i have heard that when poeple are under stress there cells in brain can’t
replicate.. so does effective thinking has a bit to do with being
stressless?
What a wonderful opportunity to learn Math.
Fun, logic, maths, success through puzzles+an amazing intro =>join the
course
now if this course explains the logic behind ordinary differential
equations, id be more interested. i have no idea how they used logic to
discover that stuff.
Just the fact that they represent succes with money puts me off.

I think its a great way to deal with things,but its just a part of solving
problems in real life.
Life is more complicated to be resumed as an equation to solve,but if
anyone knows the equation of life please let me know and Yes i will sign up
for this course.
Great to see some good mathematics courses showing up on edX! (And I
noticed the one on embedded systems too)
I like you, so Yes for me! 🙂
I love the twist near the end – who knew mathematicians could be so
creative entertainment wise?
I had Michael Starbird as a TA for an Honors Calculus course I took at UW
Madison in 1973-1974 time period and really enjoyed the course as well as
his presentation. I plan on taking this course. I think the topic is right
on. People do tend to think there is something magical about much that
seems to be common sense and practical application. Maybe it is the effort
involved that is the limiting factor.
The falling apple didn’t inspire Newton to think of calculus–it gave him
the seed of the idea for his theory of gravitational force. According to
the legend, anyway 🙂
I’m glad to see the courses as well!
i too signed up!
“You forgot to mention it is going to be fun”
“Of course it is going to be fun, it is about mathematics!” :))
As Lord Byrons said to his wife: *“I know that two and two make four – and
should be glad to prove it too if I could – though I must say if by any
sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much
greater pleasure.”*
And he, as me, admired math, just from very big distance, so the quote from
video made me laugh really hard. 🙂
(And I am deffinetly going to check the course).
Pensamiento efectivo a través de las Matemáticas
Agree 100%, prof. :)
Why aren’t we learning this in school?
Thanks BBC for sharing

Ancient Math of Ethiopia : Amazing method
Ancient Math of Ethiopia : Amazing method
A very interesting and ancient multiplication method using binary digits
(still done in modern computer calculations)
Just goes to show you you cannot trust the history that is beng taught
today and for generations past.
Well saying … tell him please.
Hope you know that Ethiopia was among the earliest civilizations. That is
of course achievement and God knows what else western folks stolen from
ancient civilizations around the glob and claimed as their own
Please see how Ethiopians discovered the first computer. Thank BBC for the
rediscovery of Ethiopians discovery
Wow I’m proud of my Ancestors!
yamral!
You can send it to us we can show it to yhe world .
Achievement???
I noticed they didn’t mention this is the exact same method the ancient
egyptians used also. If you see the ruins at gondar you wouldn’t be
surprised though. . Let me google that for you lmgtfy . com /

I as a non white never said that I am a member of a race. White people that
belive in racism invented races. Just so they can practice racism. If you
are white and do not speak against white supremacy you are maintaining it
so you are a white supremacist. I never trust white people cause I think
they are all white supremacist. As a black person I fear this religion
white supremacy.
Wow! Clever!
25*31 is the same as 24*31?? check the a
Because they’re not as greedy and destructive, not to mention thieves like
your people…
Egypt and Ethiopia’s black ancestors worked together way before the Arabs
invaded Egypt & turned the Coptic Orthodox Christian nation into Muslim,
Arabaized extension of Gulf after committing the worse genocide ….
