    The sad thing about this movie is how society views someone like the security guard as being a failure in life when in reality they could be a genius. There has been so much talent that was wasted because people grow up in a bad time period or in a bad place. I was never into math but this movie made me really sad . People are too judgmental . Don’t ever judge someone . You never know what they went through .

    "Math is all about the process of finding a solution"
    this mirrors what my most influential math teacher told me. I still failed his class, but now as a math teacher (formerly) myself, it's one of the most important things to understand about math. you're given tools, abstract concepts, and parameters - there are many answers, there are few solutions.

    • @SyenPie
      @SyenPie 2 года назад +27

      I dont know much about math, but is it similar to chess in how there are many tools and many ways to check and mate the king, but not all of them are elegant or masterful? For instance say a position has an immediately apparent solution that even an amateur could spot, but its very cumbersome and messy requiring sacrifices and slow tempo. Meanwhile, in the same position a true master can spot a much more elegant and precise solution, one that could only be reached through a deep and intimate understanding of the game rather than shallow pattern recognition/rote memorization.
      Is this similar to what you meant in your comment?

See Maths has a high magnitude of rules, principles, and methods you take to get to a possible solution. Your outlook on both does make sense but chess is a game of probability and patterns. Maths is a much bigger game which include abstract concepts. So you cannot limit solving maths with mastering chess game. Chess can be played with math calculations. But, Maths is not limited to learning strategies and patterns.

      True that. Even though I was good in math myself in the past, I still found it difficult. I understood them, but I always tend to memorise equations instead of finding one myself. After learning programming and coding, I started to become better at problem solving. Looking back at all the math I learnt, now it has became so much easier for me to find solutions, even though I don't remember any equation.

    A Math teacher intern here. I realized a lot while watching this. Many students will ask why they should learn this and that in Math when they can always use technology to solve it. But this movie taught me that it is the practice that's important. It's not the correct answer we're looking for. We rather familiarize ourselves with the concepts and the process so that we can learn to think mathematically. All the Math teachers I know believes this, and so do I. But never had I really understood it before. I still don't understand it now, but I can vaguely feel that I'm now a few steps closer. Also, when the teacher criticized the protagonist's answer for getting the right answer but the "wrong" process, I was really confused. Does this really happen??? As I've observed, teachers become really happy when they see a student doing their own computations. At least, that's how my Math teachers felt whenever I used my own way to solve during high school. But now that I think of it, even if it doesn't really happen around me. There's still a subtle resemblance to what's actually happening, which is also contradictory to the belief that, nowadays, we only teach students Math for the sake of improving their logical and critical thinking skills, or in some cases, we teach Math only for the fun of it. I also graduated high school while thinking that Math is the only stress-free subject because solving Math problems were very similar to solving puzzles. The rules are repeating but the process is ever-changing. But as I said, now, however, probably because we only teach Math an hour a week due to pandemic, teaching a uniform process became more prominent instead of letting the students explore different perspectives. It's very saddening. Specially that emerging career opportunities nowadays will require Math skills to master. Thank you for sharing this to us!

      As a teacher the most important thing you will teach your student is not math skills but life skills. The Art of teaching is not about the subject but about making your students into better people. Let me give you an example. My son is a very successful basketball coach. When he first started I asked him why he wanted to do it. Since I raised him his answer made me proud. "Dad," he said, "if it were just to win games then I would have failed you as a son as it would have shown I learned nothing. My responsibility as their teacher of basketball comes with first making them into young men of fine charecter. If their minds and hearts are improved then they will be able to learn anything." Years have gone by and my son's players go forward and are well respected for their teamwork and attitude. Those truely gifted players had learned not to showboat or have selfish manners. Because his young men learned how to be good people first they made superior teammates and winning came as a byproduct. As you teach use your full toolkit of interpersonal skills and your worth as a teacher will be immeasurable.

    I used to love math, then at 13, I was shot in the head on the left side, which made it hard for me to learn. I wish I could have had a teacher that challenged me though. Instead, they put me in remedial classes, and immediately put an end to my passion for learning. Years later I finally realized that it wasn't school that really taught me anything, just my desire to attain knowledge was what helped, though I wish I had known that when I was in school. Maybe I would have been able to go to college... Don't let teacher's tell you how smart you are! Don't let tests give you a reason to stop learning!

      it was likely when he was young the opportunity to go to university wasn't available. that's pretty normal. like in capitalism a lot of geniuses are held back and easily controlled due to lack of finances and power. When you're poor, you also are in a community where other people will do everything to ensure you can't advance including your own family. There are many reasons that are legit as to why the house painter wasn't able to go to university until later in life. It's something to keep in mind. It isn't just about having the ability and qualifications to advance in life. Advancement and education in our society is surrounded by an immense amount of privilege that's needed to get ahead.

      here its also about north/south problem, rich/poor problem, and culture of academics exploiting.....so you can say its more a social movie than a math movie.
      yet even is south korea push too hard academic on their kids, and not enough on reproduction and social welfare...you cant denie a culture of excellence is good for have elite.
      as a french, we have FREE university, but you know what, very few student choose mathematic studies they prefer to go for ingenior stuff, and those who sucess in mathematic are foreign student who know how university are expensive in tehir country, and what are their chance to study it in france.... so eys you need to push the kid a bit, because studying is not funny and long, and hang out see girls, play video game is more entertaining for too many student....
      put it simply, ,lot of young lack motivation, and have a classroom and teacher who push them to study and do excercices like a drug is certainly the ebst way to motivate student to study, and that, few movie show it, but i cana ssure you, the sucess rate of small class compared to sucess rate of amphitheater show it clearly.

    Things like this happen in real life. Back in the 1960s, when our high school Latin teacher was absent due to sickness, who should show up in coat and tie as a substitute teacher but the school custodian. Turned out that he was an East German refugee who had been a professor of classics before emigrating to America. As an immigrant from a Communist country, his job opportunities were extremely limited. I think all of us in the class were stunned and in awe. He was so learned and such a great teacher. We had no idea. And it seemed a tragedy that his marvelous knowledge and skills were not put to better use than mopping floors.

I was into photography, which he knew, and I remember him showing a great interest in that. By senior year, we all learned some of his story. He had been the head of a major photographic laboratory of some kind in Cuba with a PhD. One night he was secretly informed the communists would be coming for him the next day, so he fled with the cloths on his back. Five years later he was teaching baby boomers on suburban Long Island basic science and Spanish.

We were given about 3 minutes over a coupla days. Big mistake. At this time they were teaching about the "great" Thomas Edison. So I began my 3 minutes by pointing at the florescent lights and asking a question.. who gave us those? Well it wasn't Edison it was somebody nobody but myself knew anything about.. his name? Nikola Tesla. yeah he gave us A/C electricity... not Edison. I was the 2nd (and last) student up there that day and I had the teacher in tears (and she wasn't the only one) because she too was clueless. I never heard another word from anybody in that class about Edison.

    I love the concept of the film, to be good at math you have to go beyond memorization to actually being able to solve the problem. A lot of schools teach regurgitation in the sense of taking a problem and simply memorizing the steps needed to solve the problem without truly understanding the steps, it is why when you change a variation of the problem the student struggles.

    I cans ay that it represent very much the mental state of mathematicians, and I mean by this searchers in mathematics. I'm currently a student researcher in theoretical physics, and I can say that the approach given in the film to the maths (trying to do things by hand even when it's not that efficient just for the understanding, the beauty of mathematics, the way to see problems in its generality and not some solver, to do maths for maths and not for scores) is very valuable. The examples are good, as the trigonometry has a lot of formulas while in fact you just need to visualize it as the trigo.ometric cercle and from that recover all the formulas and more, you can modulate with more complex cases. (As an exemple there is a general theorem of pythagore wich is the Kachi theorem for all triangle types, or the law of cosinus, easier to retreave it)

      Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
      Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation.
      Romans 6:23
      For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
      John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
      John 3:16
      For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
      James 2:17-18
      In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
      18
      But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
      Acts 17:30
      In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
      2 Timothy 2:19
      Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
      John 3:5-7
      Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you,
      'You must be born from above. '
      (All humans have sinned except for the Holy Son of God who have lived a human form and became the sacrifice for the sins of those who believe in him. And also, those who believe should repent, turn away from their sins and shall change into more like him.
      And everyone who follow Christ should be born again, that means you should change the way of your life and be born again.)

    I got told off from trying a different solution that happened to get the right answer! Certain teachers get real Butthurt if you don’t follow their way of doing problems! Especially math! I managed to get a answer right through my own logic and breaking it up in a way that worked and the teacher basically okay we’ll do it my way! Also I don’t why the strawberry milk thing moves me so much. It’s so simple but it means so much. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I went to elementary school with barely anything sometimes and one of those times someone saw me at the table without anything and just handed me their strawberry milk. It was such a simple gesture but it meant so much to me! My mom gets me a strawberry milk whenever we go shopping together as a gift for helping her out with it and just coming along even though I don’t have to!

    It is actually true that not all North Korean defectors are totally happy with their decision to defect. I believe there was a case of a Military Officer in the north who defected and he regretted leaving. He liked the respect he got being an officer and now he just a peasant amongst the masses. So the kid wanting to go back to the north is actually very realistic.

  • @acool6401

    This movie reminds me of an incident in my youth.
    I was a sophomore in high school math class and never did homework or class work but did enjoy skipping ahead and reviewing all the chapters in the book with a healthy curiosity. And, of course, before the teacher could even teach those chapters.
    Having reviewed the whole book and satisfied with my understanding of the material, I merely sat in the back of the classroom and tried to be invisible because I was consumed and fascinated with a puzzle called Rubik’s Cube. (3x3 cube)
    I played with it underneath my desk and did my best to keep it out of view while the teacher taught the class.
    Then while I was deeply immersed in the puzzle and thought I was nearing a breakthrough in developing an algorithm, I heard light giggling all around me and when I looked up, lo and behold, it was the teacher standing right over me and he immediately confiscated my Rubiks Cube. He then asked me if I had been paying attention to today’s topic at hand (Pythagorean Theorem)
    I told him I was very familiar with it and had already studied all the chapters in the book. He then handed me the chalk in his hand and said with a light smirk on his face;
    “Okay, since you claim to know it so well why don’t you go up to front of the class and derive the theorem on the chalkboard for all of us to watch and learn?”
    I accepted the challenge without hesitation and went to the front of the room and began deriving the theorem, by the time I was done, I nearly ran out of room to write at the bottom of the chalk board but managed to squeeze it all in. The teacher then glanced it over carefully and proclaimed that it was correct. He looked a little defeated but looked at me with more respect and the classroom erupted into applause and laughter. I felt proud that it was correct.
    I asked for my cube back and he said “No but see me after class”. I am 57 years old now and did not go on to attend college and still possess no more than a high school education but have completed some pretty impressive and intellectual achievements in my lifetime which I will not divulge here. However I will always fondly remember that one high school math incident as a proud moment. This movie totally triggered that memory and I love math with a passion to this very day.

    Once you really understand the concept and application of math, you'll like it. I'm a student of a special science high school of my country (we study extra math and science and we are specialized in Research). I was once one of the worst math student of my batch. The school even called my mother and gave me a warning for expulsion since my grade was low (my grade is actually high for a normal high school). That was my first year then I had 8 session tutoring, found the concept and I entered 9th grade with people recognizing me as the underrated student in the math department since that was also the time when I started getting 1st places on fast challenges. I wasn't best, but yeah, I improved a lot and I actually competed for my section in a math challenge. I believe that math isn't all about formula, it is all about concept because even if you only know the formula and you don't know the concept, you won't know when to use it
