Part of me wants to reconstruct all of math up to calculus from scratch and document it all and then create a knowledge map so someone can see how any advanced idea is derrived from the most elementary ideas.

Partly I want to do this for myself just because I have a hard time remembering some derrivations, particularly in calculus where you have to go back to limits to show it.

@freemo I can't pull myself away from these fucking screens and the constant dopamine drip long enough to get anything productive done.

@yellowbeard Story of my life... i should be doing real work and not contemplating reinventing math :)

@freemo @yellowbeard
finding news ways to gain an overview of math is perhaps the most important life work there is. Not only would this help you, it would help countless generations to come. Imagine how much lost learning energy can be saved/captured with an overview of how all the math pieces fit together. Imagine how many students who are currently 'lost in math space' would suddenly find math simple, usable, an maybe even fun. Start with an overview, maybe a wiki?
