Back in November, 2015, online Atlantic published an article that Katharine Beals and I wrote on explaining your answer in math. It generated many comments (which no longer are available) as well as some discussion in math blogs. (Here and here, among others.) Apparently some people were highly annoyed at what we had to say. (On the other hand, there were also many who knew exactly what we were talking about.)
I’ve run out of time to make a thoughtful comment, but I’m excited to share this around as a conversation starter. There’s a ton in here that really hit on a lot of thoughts and instincts I have been able to express. Thanks for sharing this!
