In the beginning...

​The idea behind this blog is simple. In the course of doing research, I discover and learn many things along the way. Many of these do not explicitly show up in the paper, but are useful to know. This could take several forms: an interesting piece of data, a new way to code something (say in matlab/python/Latex), stuff I discover while reading / replicating other papers. Along the way, I'll be posting associated code (and data if possible) on my github site. 

The motivation behind the blog is more complex. I've been thinking about this idea and slowly have been posting my code on github. Github is great as a code repository, but not as an idea repository. Hence, the blog. 

Second, the past several months at Stern have been difficult with the passing of Dave Backus. In the memorial conference, several of Dave's colleagues noted that he was a serial note taker. As a colleague of Dave, I saw this first hand. Some discussion may come up and several days later Dave would have read a bit on the topic, sent some emails around, typed up some notes, and circulated it. Much of this stuff posted on the web for graduate students (like myself and Mike Chernov) to find. I really admired this, so hopefully this blog can replicate some aspect of this process.

The beginning is where all the fun is at. Well, if you think about it, when you begin something, that is when you are most excited. Once you start doing something, you will eventually find out the secrets behind it, and that is what makes it boring. The beginning is the part of the journey where everything is still up for grabs. If you ask me, the beginning is the most exciting part of the journey, not the destination itself.

The mathematics education is at elementary level, the quantity of facts to understand with might not be large enough to warrant attention and concern. With the great results that it sometimes shows, the approach of learning by memory can even be accepted. But is that the right or suitable way forward in mathematics education? For mathematics learning at the upper education level, given more complex concepts and mathematical expressions, memorizing information and various steps become a challenging chore. The performance of the many students of mathematics, who practiced the learning-by-heart method, has been known to suffer drastically. This causes them to fear mathematics lessons and led them into the undesirable mathematics anxiety situation.
