Watch a baby between six and nine
months old, and you will observe the basic concepts of geometry being learned.
Once the baby has mastered the idea that space is three-dimensional, it reaches
out and begins grasping various kinds of objects. It is then, from perhaps nine
to fifteen months, that the concepts of sets and numbers are formed. So far, so
good. But now an ominous development takes place. The nerve fibers in the brain
insulate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds very
precisely. Soon it picks up language, and it is then brought into direct
communication with adults. From this point on, it is usually downhill all the
way for mathematics, because the child now becomes exposed to all the nonsense
words and beliefs of the community into which it has been so unfortunate as to
have been born. Nature, having done very well by the A. How basic concepts of physics are learned. B. Math-learning strategies for babies. C. How basic concepts of physics are learned. D.
