Courtney Gibbons on “being good at math” really meaning “being good at being stuck.”
I've had a lot of conversations with students lately that start with disclaimers like "I'm sorry, I'm not really good at math, so..." and since it's not so easy to give a pep talk in-person with the whole pandemic and everything, I thought I'd give the pep talk here. (Just keep in mind that I'm not a very good mathematician, so... KIDDING! I'm a perfectly capable mathematician!) ^-- If you felt like you wanted more about being stuck, click some of these --v - Ben Orlin has a conversation with Andrew Wiles, one of the GOATs of mathematics, about being stuck: https://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2017/09/20/the-state-of-being-stuck/ - Kate Poirier asks students to reflect on belonging in mathematics: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/poiriermat1575fall2020/2020/10/23/assignment-are-you-bad-at-math-really/
