Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a higher level of math competency, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating but inescapable field. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life.
In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to effectively learning math and science—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn math. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. A Mind for Numbers shows us that we all have what it takes to excel in math, and learning it is not as painful as some might think!
Barbara Oakley is a professor of engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She has received many awards for her teaching, including the coveted National Science Foundation New Century Scholar Award.
在courser上学了learning how to learn这门课,课程内容大致就是课程的重点吧。
评分比想象得好,虽然内容不新鲜,但是组织得非常有条理有说服力!
评分在coursera上开设learning how to learn的教授babara oakley写的一本书。她是从自己的亲身经历出发,更有说服力。如果有上这个课来看书的话,能更好的理解。当然老外写书多少都会有点啰嗦的成分(据说这样稿费多)我自己买的是kindle版。从内容架构看,和上课谈到的内容顺序不一样,书里也包含更多细节。最让我印象深刻的是,她提到,你注意力不集中学东西比别人慢很可能是因为你的大脑前额叶(负责focus mode的部位)比别人小一些,但一旦你集中完成了一件事,你能比别人做的更好,因为你在difused mode中建立了更多连接。虽然有些概念很早知道,但这本书生动的描述深入浅出,让我对此了解更深。

对书中提及的重要概念做的笔记。 集中思维(focused mode) 与发散思维(diffuse mode) 学习新事物应当采取发散的思维模式,用于跟已有知识产生联系,建议新的神经连接。 类比是件很有效的学习方法。 学习新事物、困难的事物时,你需要在集中思维和发散思维间来回切换,用发散...
评分这是我第2次参加沙牛清单共读,群上一次参加的读书是《掌控习惯》,让我了解了习惯是如何改形成,怎样改变。 这一次参加共读的书单是《学习之道》,一周内读完这本书,每天2个番茄钟,高效阅读150页。收获很多,还有对学习的新的看法,一一跟各位讲解一下。 为什么我们看过一本...
评分个人推荐指数两颗星,不值得购买和阅读。 前一段时间,我就对MOOC很感兴趣,了解了course平台,当时就知道里面有一门很出名的课程learning how to learn,本来打算将来英语能力能够通过雅思考试的时候,一定会花点钱去听上一门课。这次在亚马逊上看到这本书的简介就买了,期望...
