> Empirically that seems to be false

Could you tell me on what data you are basing this argument on? I see this sentiment pop up in every related conversation but haven't seen the source of these claims. Could you help me out?

It's ok not to comment. These discussions are often times the opposite of useful.

An interesting viewpoint on why mathematicians focus so much on rigor and definitions, even to the detriment of quick learning and intuition.

To answer my own question, I've been enamoured with the university of Finland's MOOC on learning Haskell. https://haskell.mooc.fi/

I've got no idea what I'll do with Haskell, but I do like that I know something more about it now.

I don't think that's this is useful tool to become a mathematician. Becoming one does not necessarily involve solving these kinds of puzzle exercises.

It's a useful to hone your creative thinking and learning how to approach a mathematical problem, but it wont make you a mathematician.

Hi I am seeing a lot of good resources in this thread already but I might have something to add. I am also learning Haskell at the moment, and the thing that really helped me push through it was this MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) by the university of Helsinki which is completely free and online available.

https://haskell.mooc.fi/

It's a structured, has a lot of excercises and so far (I am on Lecture 5 at the moment) very clear. It wont make you an expert, but will get you writing code quickly.
