01 / A place to begin
A new way into mathematics.
Start where you are. Follow a question. Find the book that makes the next idea click.
02 / Think in code
Small steps. Powerful ideas.
A first program, a clever search, a useful question about data. Make the invisible steps visible.
03 / The examined idea
Stay with a good question.
What counts as knowledge? What makes an argument hold? Open a book that leaves room to think.
04 / The small reading escape
A little time. A whole world.
A poem, a fable, a story with a turn you did not see coming. Read something complete.
05 / Read together tonight
One story. A shared moment.
Find a small adventure, follow the pictures, and leave a little room for conversation.
