Last Notes npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Absolutely beautiful opening statement. I really gotta make time to deep dive into this book. Stillwell comes across as a wonderful writer https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/b84448b94f959d7f77c2ad32ca1d96c463e7999d783c71c1f87cc2e7521bcfd7/a058d34e2e4403a92b9262f2def8ba02ec3f2082198d06a6e14bc76010114638.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/b84448b94f959d7f77c2ad32ca1d96c463e7999d783c71c1f87cc2e7521bcfd7/fd8716847f40cad6ac85a73044e5472692cc6d664fc5fb62c816b4ab27ed8838.webp npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/wtbFnpbnWE7CWfW4gARX npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math I’m gonna go out in a limb and say that anything resembling Austrian economics in the math world will be much clearer than this. This comes off as super pretentious and alienating. Programming Bitcoin was a unifying textbook that helped to demystify the math. That’s the book I anchor to for value. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math COMING SOON: Office Hours. Are you a listener of the Motivate the Math podcast and have questions you want to work through? Maybe you don’t know what to ask? Maybe you’re just lonely I’m gonna host a space, likely on HiveTalk In the meantime, check out the community on satellite.earth where I host supplementary videos. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math We’ll find the balance. Appreciate the boosts of course - but we won’t let the show get too derailed. Eye on the prize!! We have big things to build! npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Homeschoolers. How can I help teach you and your children math? I know you want to learn and I want to teach it - but how do we really come together? I need to understand your pain and struggles. Please share with me here. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math We just finished a new episode of Motivating The Math - will drop likely tomorrow. We realized that we forgot to acknowledge the boosts. Thanks to @npub16e3…y9v6 and @npub1jr5…xjzt for your support. Sorry we forgot to mention it today. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Did you know that the points on an elliptic curve form an Abelian group? Now I’m glad we suffered through 2 podcasts to explain what groups are and how we don’t know why but it’s important to know something is a group! We (on this podcast) still don’t know why this fact matters for elliptic curves yet - but it seems plausible in the context of what we discussed that we like: 1) closure under point addition (adding any two points gives us a point that is definitely on the curve) 2) infinity point is the identity (always wondered what that point meant in the coding books like @npub10vl…sp42 Programming Bitcoin) 3) order of addition doesn’t matter (P1+P2) = (P2+P1) So the points being an abelian group makes all of the arithmetic around adding points nice. VERY NICE!
