[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math is math, but the reasoning behind it was developed based on certain factors and assumptions that didn’t include everyone. As a result, math may come easily to some but is difficult for others to grasp. If mathematical concepts were approached like the Egyptians did when building the pyramids, we might not even need the Pythagorean theorem, which emerged a thousand years later. The current education system has prioritized the Pythagorean theorem over the simpler and more intuitive mathematics that underpinned those monumental structures. A revisit or revision is worth considering![/quote] Let's go back 5000 years and learn our math from the Egyptians![/quote]
