I guess seeing these finales being Marth v Marth shows that he's popular and strong and stuff, but I'm not used to him yet while they've beaten some Falco and stuff, so I'm enjoying it for now.

Traditional math in American schools conflates arithmetic with rational thinking, trying to teach the first to people who don't care, and making the latter thus boring for everyone who should use it. The idea is that you're learning logic by doing math without a calculator (i.e. solving equations is the same critical process that you use when putting together IKEA furniture). However, you can teach logic and rational thinking without making it boring with arithmetic, and the arithmetic you should be learning has nothing to do with the garbage you learn in "precalculus" or "advanced algebra." | ||

Like, the part where calculators get fun in a math context is when your calculator is actually a computer and you're programming basic physics or AI that needs to use trig/calculus/whatever to accomplish something. | ||

Calculators are incredibly boring and between them and matlab they sucked all soul out of the math itself that I had found interesting before college. With the application of the logical proofs of math you learn stuff like what a limit is and why it is and then you personally get to apply that with an understanding of what you're doing. I think a lot of the fun in math comes from "aha" moments in understanding proofs and then getting to imitate and/or use that cool thing you just saw in the proof. And when you do that with a function by hand you really experience it in a way that you simply don't when it's just a matter of hitting a few buttons. It's like the difference between looking at a photo of a forest and being *in* the forest... which in of itself can be very polarizing since for the inexperienced or unprepared it can get ugly very quickly. Like, the part where calculators get fun in a math context is when your calculator is actually a computer and you're programming basic physics or AI that needs to use trig/calculus/whatever to accomplish something. I can get this, when I first started taking Calculus classes it was pretty awesome doing what seemed like magic to me at first by hand just by thinking it through. However, when I'm limited on time like during a test I found that trying to figure out how quickly a snowman would melt without a calculator very frustrating. | ||

You do however, need to have enough damage to survive phase 1, the adds spawn 2 at a time, and don't go away until you shift phases or kill them. So if you ignore them they can overrun you. 3 hours seems a bit much, but it looks like malthial had close to 1 trillion HP in those screens. Pretty long as fight for 100k a second. | ||
