:[Ag0ny]!Kaz@bu-D9CC5B8F.dhnet.ufl.edu PRIVMSG #lecture :agreed, but the child wouldn't have necessarily appied mathematics to it as a valid solution
:SysSpider!SysSpider@spies.over.your.shoulder PRIVMSG #lecture :sure
:SysSpider!SysSpider@spies.over.your.shoulder PRIVMSG #lecture :except Sidis perhaps ;)
:[Ag0ny]!Kaz@bu-D9CC5B8F.dhnet.ufl.edu PRIVMSG #lecture :I think the transition is simplified in this:
:SysSpider!SysSpider@spies.over.your.shoulder PRIVMSG #lecture :generally they wouldn't indeed, but the thought could lead them to deeper theories, once they grew up
:SysSpider!SysSpider@spies.over.your.shoulder PRIVMSG #lecture :and were mature enough the take thoughts ahead
:[Ag0ny]!Kaz@bu-D9CC5B8F.dhnet.ufl.edu PRIVMSG #lecture :adults learn new methods of communication, but they become satisfied with a level that they still may not be comfortable in
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :of course
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :and, it is clear that some ideas might come from the children
:[Ag0ny]!Kaz@bu-D9CC5B8F.dhnet.ufl.edu PRIVMSG #lecture :to an adult well versed in mathematics and theories revelant to the field, there is a comfort level that they posess in manipulating numbers and applying theories
:SysSpider!SysSpider@spies.over.your.shoulder PRIVMSG #lecture :we can draw a comparison with the process of teaching someone
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :to illustrate this, I know a teacher (in the US - he teaches at the MIT), this guy is really awesome
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :and, he once told me that his own daughter
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :(who's only 4)
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :(he was explaining her what prime numbers wereà
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :)*
:Elda_Winslacks!loulou@bu-10EF4191.w83-198.abo.wanadoo.fr PRIVMSG #lecture :lol
:Elda_Winslacks!loulou@bu-10EF4191.w83-198.abo.wanadoo.fr PRIVMSG #lecture :excellent
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :He was showing her the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and they were looking for prime gaps of length 2, 4, 6, ....
:Elda_Winslacks!loulou@bu-10EF4191.w83-198.abo.wanadoo.fr PRIVMSG #lecture :(could I ask you what your parent do? I think I never did it)
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :then she asked :
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :(maybe less formally, but still ;))
:qwertydawom!qwertydawo@bu-61EE8C6D.fbx.proxad.net PRIVMSG #lecture :if p_k is the k-th prime number,
