PANews, September 21 — In a reply, Vitalik Buterin said high school mathematics should significantly reduce the amount of trigonometry taught and replace it with courses that help students understand linearity and nonlinearity, high-dimensional spaces, and how to deduce changes in a system through small perturbations, such as basic calculus and a limited amount of multivariable calculus. He said such content could lay the foundation for fields including AI, economics, cryptography, and biomedicine without being limited to any single direction; by contrast, he has almost never used formulas such as the tan(2x) identity in real life. The key is to cultivate the habit of thinking “change one input and observe the entire system,” rather than memorizing formulas.
