My Math I/O Process:
** Input/Output: Static**
Input (Learning/Formulating)
- Chunking: Break problems into smaller, familiar components (e.g., factor equations).
- Visualization: Use diagrams (graphs, geometric figures) to ground abstract concepts.
- Analogies: Map new concepts to known ones (e.g., derivatives as slopes).
- Interleaving: Mix topics (algebra + geometry) to foster flexible thinking.
- Active Recall: Test understanding by rederiving formulas without notes.
Output Strategies (Communication/Application)
- Precision: Define all terms (e.g., "Let XX be a random variable...").
- Notation Hygiene: Avoid ambiguous symbols (e.g., overloaded ∗∗).
- Stepwise Proofs: Structure arguments linearly (Lemma → Theorem → Corollary).
- Dimensional Analysis: Check units (e.g., m/s2m/s2 for acceleration).
- Peer Review: Submit work to scrutiny (e.g., preprint servers, study groups).
The ADEPT Method (Analogy, Diagram, Example, Plain-English, Technical Definition
- Analogy: Relate to something familiar
- Diagram: Create visual representation
- Example: Concrete walkthrough
- Plain English: Describe in simple terms
- Technical Definition: Formalize with proper terminology
