    A comment on Talk: Conrad Wolfram: Teaching kids real math with computers

    Nov 21 2010: When I was in high school (late 50's) , I was very fortunate to have a science and math teacher who was a retired computer programmer for the aerospace industry. Mr. Bryant W. Saxon taught me to solve problems, not memorize formulae. Every six weeks, he gave us exams consisting of math problems, like the solution to the quadratic equation, before he introduced the term, much less the solution. For grading (1-10 points), he gave us one point for the correct answer, the other nine points for the solution process. He gave the highest points to students whose solution was one he had not derived.

    Mr. Saxon taught me to think for myself and solve problems, not to memorize or follow the instructions step-by-step. "Computers will change the way you work and think, " he said. We had never even seen a computer in East Texas! Mr. Saxon was very eccentric for a small town like Tyler in 1959. Needless to say, I didn't have many teachers like him.
