Introduction to the Blog

    Hi there, this blogging site will be an opportunity for both I and yourself. I've dedicated this site to a narrow selection of problems, with varying difficulty, that will try to give you a greater insight into the neatness of mathematics as a whole. I believe maths has developed a bad stigma in society: with many younger and older people alike somehow hating the subject, for no apparent reason other than the annoying algebra they had to deal with in school, or how the times' table grid was relentlessly drilled into them with ruler slaps and controlled regular testing. When people say maths is beautiful, elegant and captivating (you know, all the funny pictures of old men on the walls of maths class), well they mean it!
    We can all enjoy the pleasure of maths through well-chosen problems that emphasise the true nature of the subject. Rather than focusing on memorisation and relentless military-like drills, this blog will show you how maths should be taught-through intuitive problems that captivate our imagination. We are all mathematicians at heart. Have you ever had that great feeling of solving a crossword, placing down that final jigsaw piece or finally getting that troublesome router to work? Well, that is the feeling mathematicians thrive of-the feeling of ultimate satisfaction.
    But like anything worthwhile, maths is equally difficult, frustrating and challenging, so you mustn't give up and remember that one day you will, and I can assure you that you will, eventually learn and understand. Moreover, please don't be disheartened if you cannot do a problem. These things come with time, and some problems, for now, may just be out of your realm of knowledge. Even if you choose to ignore the message of this post, please understand there is an entire realm of possibility for you and your mind to unlock with this subject. Best hopes and wishes.
