> Focusing on relationships, not mechanical formulas.
The focus on formula memorization in schools is tragic. Once upon a time, I too have learned everything about imaginary numbers ... everything, other than why the heck they are actually useful. Can do all the calculations, don't know why I am doing them.
Are there other great math textbooks/websites (Calculus level and higher, Stats, Linear Algebra, etc.) that try to do this better? For someone older than school level who wants to learn again.
