Foreword
A manifesto for a mathematical revolution

Summary
Forget everything you've been taught about math. In "Burn Math Class," Jason Wilkes takes the traditional approach to how we learn math, with its unwelcoming textbooks, unexplained rules, and authoritarian assertions, and sets it on fire. Focusing on how mathematics is created rather than on mathematical facts, Wilkes teaches the subject in a way that requires no memorization and no prior knowledge beyond addition and multiplication. From these simple foundations, "Burn Math Class" shows how mathematics can be reinvented from scratch without preexist.
