A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science

i took Oakley's Learning How to Learn Coursera course a few years ago and bought this book at the same time, and i've finally finished the book lol. i almost feel as if it's even better than the course!

i really enjoyed it and wish i had it while i was in school. there are lots of anecdotes and the conversational style is very easy to read. i'm currently studying programming self-paced, so will take the lessons to heart! lots of really good tips, and i was called out on a bunch of “learning strategies” that i've been using for a lot of my life - rereading, rote memorization, highlighting, etc.
