I recently started working in a setting making physical products, where I discovered that I had a whole nother section of my brain purposed for physical interactions between things and when things might fall on other things or melt or fall apart or shatter or scar or any number of other things. Unfortunately, because of my inexperience, this is a part of my brain I had to be prompted to use. I had to be asked directly: “What do you think will happen as a result of that?” in order to actually use that part of my brain.
I can’t help but feel that the same thing must be going on with my math ability.
I want to apply my math knowledge to the world so I can actually get some use out of it, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
[Question] When can I be numerate?
