@BadRobot14: Awesome, glad to provide an outlet .

@Ala’a: Thanks for the pointer, I’ll check it out.

@Nobody: Nice, I need to learn about Laplace transforms some day.

@uche9012: Awesome, really glad it’s helping! Good luck with your site — yes, physics is another one of those subjects where we tend to memorize things with rigor instead of understanding at an intuitive level. And the great irony is that physics is about the real world we live in!

@NewReader: Thanks!

@Kalid – thanks so much for all these wonderful insights. I have been thinking alot recently about how learning is meant to be all about sharing those aha moments. In fact you have inspired me to start something similar with Physics – one of my favorite subject (but in which I have not found much sharing culture).

And it is so true that we forget so much if it is only rigor. to me for example. I have done some topics in Physics – twice, but still, I can’t really remember things. It is as though I am not the owner of my knowledge

Again thanks Kalid, and to all those who comment and further enrich the aha moment discussions

This reminds me of the connection between the gamma function and the factorial. I could recite that they were connected, but for the longest time, I hadn’t seen how anyone would be able to connect the two. Then, I learned Laplace transforms…
