Peeling Back the Onion

May 9, 2019 jeremy Communication, Education and Outreach, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy

No matter how much advanced mathematics you study, the great thing is that you rarely have to accept anything as-is. If you come across a procedure, technique, or result and you wonder how in the world it works, you can always retrace your steps and get back to the foundational reasons as to why it works. If you keep on asking “why”, you will eventually get back to your starting axioms. In between that and…
