Use case 2

A formula is a picture that was written down

Some people read a formula and see two masses pulling at each other. Most see letters. Lecturized draws what the formula means and says it in plain words in the same breath, so you understand it the way you understand everything else: by seeing and hearing.

Where notation gets in the way

Symbols hide the idea

Three letters and a fraction bar can hold a whole mechanism. If the letters mean nothing to you yet, the mechanism stays hidden.

Explained in the same code

Textbooks explain a formula with another formula. If the first one did not land, the second will not either.

Nothing to hold on to

An abstract statement has no shape. You cannot picture it, so you cannot keep it.

What the lectures do instead

Draw the mechanism

A formula is turned into the thing it describes: the masses, the distance, the pull. Change one and you see the others move.

Say it in words

Beside the drawing, a sentence a person would say: “twice as far, four times weaker”. The symbols come after, labelled.

Keep the pictures that matter

Not a drawing per sentence: one where words alone cannot carry the idea, so every picture is one you will remember.

Set it up like this

  1. 1

    Pictures: where they matter, or often

    “Where it matters” draws the key mechanisms; take more for a chapter that is all notation.

  2. 2

    The visual mathematician

    A lecturer who shows first and names the symbols after.

  3. 3

    Your own examples

    Say what you know well, music, cooking or football, and the examples are drawn from there.

Upload the chapter that is all symbols

See its formulas drawn and spoken in a few minutes.

The other readers

The same product, from where someone else stands.

The busy reader

No time to read, but time to listen. The book is retold so that it works by ear, formulas and tables included.

Open

Before going to bed

Instead of whatever plays next at midnight: a calm, light telling of a book you actually care about.

Open

The struggling student

The chapter you read twice and gave up on. A plainer telling first, then the original with context: comprehension, not replacement.

Open

The foreign-language reader

A book in a language you half know, or not at all. Translated and simplified in one step, with the notation intact.
