G4GWS Sun 28: Let’s discuss Grant Sanderson’s talk “Math’s Pedagogical Curse”
Grant Sanderson, creator of the outstanding math explainer YouTube channel "3 Blue 1 Brown", recently gave a landmark talk at the Joint Math Meetings in Boston this last January, where he pinpointed the reasons mathematicians are so often bad at explaining what they do to a lay audience, and proposed some guidelines for creating more audience-friendly explanations. You can watch the original video here
In this session Scott Kim is going to build on the talk by Grant. It will start with a summary followed by a discussion of how we can improve and act on his list of guidelines.
