> "Math" consists of assigning meaning to a set of symbols, blindly shuffling around these symbols according to arcane rules, and then interpreting a meaning from the shuffled result. The process is not unlike casting lots.

Form that Brett Victor.

@dr_dshiv Edit: Sorry about the bad quote, I should have included the prefix "When most people speak of Math ...". And the negative comment about the blog post.

Now I've read / skimmed all of it and it was interesting, I hope the new methods he wants to use for teaching maths will work fine. (I'm sceptical, but still seems like worth to give it a try.)

I think his project title does his project a disservice: "Kill maths"? That sounds silly to me. And how it starts -- I got annoyed and stopped reading (until I went back two days later).

Another more positive project title maybe could be "Maths for everyone" or "A new approach for teaching maths"?
