In the sentence above, you use a problem solving approach. If you run into a problem you can get knowledge to solve that problem. The big idea is I think taking advantage of underlying knowledge. That’s going to help you solve the problem. It’s not going to solve it for you. Also, what kind of problems are you going to run into?
I think you could think about the problem in a goal-like way. If you run into a problem then an error is causing failure at a goal. How is that phrased in a problem and solution kind of way? A solution may be failing at solving a problem.
I think some problems you can run into while learning CF is not knowing almost anything being talked about in an article: Are you working on something too advanced? What’s hard about the CF article to understand? What are your goals for learning the CF article? How long have you been trying to learn the CF article? How’s your approach to it?.. What do questions do for problems? Do they help you identify them? Figure out what’s wrong or something that could be better?
Next quoted sentence:
Working on your underlying knowledge when running into a problem is what “This” is. That keeps your prerequisite work relevant cuz you can use what’s useful and you don’t have to go off-topic with them. If you do a prerequisite once and don’t use it or don’t see how it’s used in advanced knowledge then that’s going to be bad. If your prerequisites are relevant then they become knowledge vs. just information. You use that to solve problems you have.
It’s useful to learn what math is or isn’t relevant. You’ll want to figure that out so you can learn CF. You can probably still learn a lot of a math subject like algebra and you’ll be good. That’s cuz i don’t think it would be that hard to learn. I think tho how would you know what’s relevant and what’s not
You can learn CF while you learn what Math is or isn’t relevant. That’s like doing two things at once. You could do that instead of just trying to figure out what Math is relevant to all of CF. That sounds like a lot of work. Learning what Math is relevant or not is similar to cycling between prerequisites and CF, cuz you can catch up the knowledge about what Math you need to learn. You don’t have to do figure it all out in one go.
What does it look like to find out what Math is relevant? Let’s say you learn a bit of CF and you find a section of an article that labels ideas as x or y. That sounds like algebra. Now you kind of got an idea about what’s relevant or not.
How does it look like to learn what Math isn’t relevant? I think if you read a whole article you’d kind of get an idea of what Math wasn’t brought up. For the parts you understood more clearly that had Math, you would be like, “I don’t gotta know calculus or something advanced to know this.” Maybe you could also be like, “Oh, this part of the article only using factoring at a certain extent; you don’t need to know it at niche-like extent.” Idk
If you learn the Math that’s relevant you’ll get enough information to solve your problem. You don’t gotta go learn something so much that’s already at excess capacity.
