Thank you for sharing, I had not heard of them until today.
The quote really resonated with me:
"What is the mathematician doing? He is building notions or ideas, he is constructing, inventing, adding to his body of science. With what is he working? Ideas, relationships, implications, etc."
I wish more education institutions took this approach. I hated Maths at school, part of which I put down to the way it was taught.

Thank you for reading 
Yes, it is sad with the way maths is taught in school that can suck the joy out of the subject - I was lucky that I enjoyed maths enough to be able to get past the boring arithmetic part to the exciting parts eg geometry, mechanics, logic
