Curated. This post hit me exactly at a moment where I was trying to become a more “numerate person” (i.e. gain some skills where it was easier to convert problems into ‘things with numbers’ and then solve the problems with simple math).
I liked the worked examples of the post, and I appreciated the emphasis on why it’s important to keep track of units (which I had roughly known, but seeing how it played out in the examples drove the point home more).
