Indeed. That’s why I love @3blue1brown: he builds intuition.
@dbressoud’s “Calculus Reordered” promises that too: “to use the historical development of these four* big ideas to suggest more natural and intuitive routes to calculus.”
*integration, differentiation, series, limits
Replying to @fermatslibrary
One of the most common flaws of math textbooks is that they present only the logic, without the intuition. They give you the later, cleaned up version of the idea, which hides the way it was discovered.
I only started noticing it when I began pairing audiobooks with paper books a few years ago. Now it’s the main reason I read instead of listening—to absorb punctuation taste from the greats.
But I’ll admit I overuse it—sometimes.
