Con academy's impact on mathematics, i would say, is by far its biggest impact. The extraordinary part is that students don't just watch itand hear someone tell them how to do it. They're actually forced to interact with the material. I'd be interested enough you can talk about this. If you don't want to, just say so. But, you know, in the early days, made a conscious decision to have what i would call low production values. Not fancy, very straightforward, ah, not particularly entertaining.
Software Engineer Andy Matuschak talks about his essay "Why Books Don't Work" with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Matuschak argues that most books rely on transmissionism, the idea that an author can share an idea in print and the reader will absorb it. And yet after reading a non-fiction book, most readers will struggle to remember any of the ideas in the book. Matuschak argues for a different approach to transmitting ideas via the web including different ways that authors or teachers can test for understanding that will increase the chances of retention and mastery of complex ideas.
