Ask HN: Article about Math in schools and the lack of creativity

Posted by rfnslyr on Tuesday October 22, 2013 @09:59AM
from the ask-hn dept.

It was a well written popular paper, kind of long, about how the life has been sucked out of math, or something to that effect. It was a beautifully written paper but I can't find it for the life of me.

I tried various search queries on HNSearch.com too but I can't find anything!

Thanks.

Was it "Lockhart's Lament" ?
