Friday math movie - Math problem solving with mind maps

By Murray Bourne, 06 Mar 2009

Here’s a collection of tips for solving problems. You probably need to stop it every now and then to take in the suggestions given.

I like the soundtrack. It sounds like Johann Sebastian Bach, but I couldn't recall hearing it before. It turns out the piece was written by a 19-year old French music student (born 1990). I was impressed, especially because I used to write neo-Baroque music when I was around the same age.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
