My math skills improved the most when I stopped obsessing over studying the right things, or finding the right textbooks, and just constantly solved problems.
Being a mathematician and solving already-theoretically-understood math problems are two things that often don't have a lot of overlap.
Yeah fair.
It’s another way to describe practice. Which is correct but not the most compelling of arguments.
Do you have any examples of methods that will get you there more effectively than practice in any discipline? Because I honestly can't think of anything.
