The Academic Accelerator

Maths is as important to the creative sector as it is to finance…. "If we get this right, we will do something really special for our young people. It will be setting them up for success." Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister, UK, April 17, 2023 What do we do at The Academic Accelerator? We create the world's ONLY 100% LEARNING resources to bolster scientific thinking and put you on a trajectory of being a Math Master. The (teaching and) learning of mathematics has been waiting for the real-world, learner-centered, and inventive conceptual narrative. Mathematics can be scary for most people, even those studying it in college, including majors. We sincerely believe that our programme presents a peerless story of the fundamental nature of mathematics. Why does Mathematics matter? Math as a language presents an incredible growth path, putting all 8 billion people on equal footing in math, the language of AI – the rapidly developing universal 'meta language.' Just 10 minutes of watching our videos will show how real math is unfamiliar to everyone, and how it’s a way of thinking that was killed for us all in pre-school itself. Mathematics might be our best chance in this century to guide humanity towards a hopeful and secure future of growth and survival. Is mathematics the ONLY hope for humanity? Mathematics is already a global language (the only one), and every human can master it. With artificial intelligence (AI) becoming the new global infrastructure, mathematics is increasingly becoming the language of all knowledge. It is projected that mathematics will be to biology, by the 2050s, what it is for physics today. And the unimaginable part is that the mathematics required for AI is the current K–12 school- level math syllabus! Mathematics helps you think better! The world would have already been a wildly different place if 200 years of the current school education system had got math education to work for every student. In view of the fact that math education isn’t about a specific domain of knowledge, such as physics, psychology, history. Math is a language, a means of thinking ‘other things’. For example, we use our mother tongue, art, or music to express whatever we feel, see, and to express our ideas. Sound math education dramatically trains us to think better – think in a more organised and systematic way. Nothing trains us to naturally think about the ‘why’ of everything as does good math education. Language is the key human capability Mathematics is a language just like all other natural languages (mother tongues), implying that it is to be used in everyday life, in the real-world of thinking, communication, and actions. There is no two-way about any mathematical expression. We need such a language for expressing scientific phenomena, facts, laws, situations, and conditions; physics, for example, is all mathematics. It cannot be visualised and articulated without mathematising observed realities. Mathematics is the language of the ‘real world’ (and the universe) Mathematics in general, and calculus in particular, is the (only) language to precisely quantify real-world and scientific situations and events. In fact, without the knowledge of calculus, the knowledge of most of our world would be incomplete, incomprehensible, and even undefinable. No wonder calculus education is not only part of every K-12 curriculum, but it is also the crown of the math curriculum – taught in XI-XII years.
