Most people dread or dislike learning mathematics. What a pity for a subject which means by derivation the “science of learning”! On my theory, math became difficult, when it got entangled with the post-Crusade Christian theology of reason, used as a weapon against Islam.
The way to make math easy, therefore, is to disentangle it from theology.
This makes math so easy, that a whole course calculus could be taught in 5 days, as I showed in this remarkable experiment at Sarnath. Here is a presentation (made in Oct at Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Mumbai) and a paper for a meeting on science education in JNU 12-13 Dec 2009.
