I hate this fucking show. The fact that it’s run by the same dude who made House is mindboggling.

    That is exactly my experience, albeit described much better than I’ve ever attempted. Do you also visualize math problems in similar ways? I found the ability extremely useful in calc and other higher maths.

      I think it helps with math that’s already mostly visual or spatial, yeah. I crushed geometry in high school with like 110%. It helps somewhat with calculus, but not much at all for basic algebra. It can help with other subjects like physics or o-chem reaction mechanisms. It might’ve even helped with my art history classes, at least the portions on sculpture and architecture.

        Same. I killed geometry. I though it was also very helpful in calc for visualizing derivatives and integrals. I also visualize equations moving around, so it was helpful with algebra. Kinda like a mental chalkboard.

        I don’t approach math the same way most people I’ve encountered do, and I’ve always assumed it was due to this visualization.

      I also share such an experience. My spatial reasoning helps me a lot with linear algebra. However considering that it goes still down in 3D space, it’s very similar.
