Ok so I'm starting to dive into brilliant's mathematical fundamentals and I've discovered something, in 90% of the problems I just dont understand no matter how many times I read the explanation, it's been some small part of the problem that simply hasn't been explained because its something people naturally know, have learned, or can assume based on other data, that I just never learned/dont naturally absorb, for instance, it took until it was shown with a visual animation for me to understand that to SQUARE a number, you take it as one side length of a SQUARE and ya make it a damn SQUARE and calculate the area of the SQUARE because ITS FUCKING SQUARED how have I never realized this. goddamnit.
