Educational Video

In this video Randy Palisoc gives a TEDx Talk on why math isn’t hard. He argues that math is actually a language and people would learn better if they treat it as a language. He shows a simple example of addition and gives a example of his five years niece adding 1/3 +1/3. He also shows a simple way of thinking a multiplication table and memorizing it.

This video provide a great example on how human mind is wired to retain information. I really liked this video because I love math and I like to learn different ways of solving problems. Although he didn’t went into complicated topics of math and just stick to the kindergarten level, he gave a new way of looking at math problem. I learned that math isn’t really complicated but we actually make it complicated, and if we use simple logic we could be able to solve complex problem easily.
