You will generally agree that it presents itself as a real monster terrorizing teenagers.</p> <p>Does it have to be this way? Can mathematics become fun?</p> <p>That was the question I had, because I was a victim of this teaching format focused on memorizing formulas and repeating procedures without even reflecting on them.</p> <p>Today, having graduated, I no longer have to get the grade or pass the year. Nor do I have to attend classes in that traditional format. The teacher speaks, the student listens, memorizes, and repeats.</p> https://kindofidea.com/read-more-books-and-save-money-at-the-same-time/ Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000 https://kindofidea.com/read-more-books-and-save-money-at-the-same-time/ <img src='http://valeriofarias.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/livro.jpg' alt='book' /> <p>Today I’ll tell you how I save a little money while keeping up with my reading:</p> <ol> <li> <p>I check whether an ebook version is available from one of the various sources: eMule, 4shared, and others. I also look for audiobooks. With MP3 players becoming more popular and affordable, they have become a great option, as well as giving your eyes a rest. :)</p> </li> <li> <p>If the book I want is about finance or management, I check whether there is a copy at the <a href="http://www.bibliotecafinanceira.com.br/">Financial Library</a>. They provide an outstanding service to the Brazilian public. You can now rent books that cost over R$100 for R$15 and keep one at home for two months to read. The book is delivered by mail, along with a postage-paid envelope to ensure its return. All you have to do is read it and drop it off at the nearest post office within two months. When I signed up last year, there was a membership fee of R$25 plus R$15 for the book, making the first rental R$40 in total. Starting with the second book, I would only have to spend R$15. A great service! I even sent them a written note of congratulations, saying how surprised I was by the team’s quality and competence. I recommend it!</p>
