God-Honoring Imagination
March 29, 2018
I teach physics and engineering and I coach high school robotics. While I teach very different kinds of courses at MPCS, they all have one thing in common. I am always trying to teach students how to solve problems. So, my interest was piqued when I ran across a quote this weekend, made by the esteemed twentieth-century mathematician Howard Eves:
"An expert problem-solver must be endowed with two incompatible qualities: a restless imagination and a patient pertinacity."
