Back to Word Problems

Post by Phil8659 »

I collected works on word problems, and I have to start with the most elementary for young children
So, I had to step back and do those few other projects on Meta-Grammar and A.I. to let the idea cook in my feeble brain.

So, today, it all fell into place. In my formal codex, I use strict squares and parallels, which for most operations, or maybe even all of them, that is not exactly required, I can simplify it to just perpendiculars and parallels, showing how to do the exact same operations using any rectangle.

That is what I am working on, so I can post short vids on how to do the math when someone can only count.

Actually, if you just know your A, B, C's and can use measurement, you can learn arithmetic and algebra together with just the perpendicular and parallel.

If you go back to the Ancient Hebrews, they learnt to do arithmetic with their alphabet. Technically speaking, then, one can say Algebra started before arithmetic.

demonstrably, the foundation of Algebra came before the arithmetic convention of names. So, what historians claim, is demonstrably not true.
