Rote Learning Vis-à-vis Physical Comprehension

The problem is of ATTITUDE.

It is of WORLD VIEW.

Because a true and pure momeen can never suspend his belief and start theorizing- he would only work to save his books and faith. That is why the Islamic Republics strive to save the Qurans and Hadiths by insisting that all laws , including laws of physics, should be made to conform to Quran and Hadiths and should be Islamized. That is why the we see Islamic Sciences , Islamic Physics, Islmaic Chemistry, Islamic Psychology , Islamic Democracy and Islamic Republics.

So, any one who is a believer in all the stories about Allah, Prophet, Jinns, Houries, Jannah and Jahannum 'without-a-sense-of-dis-belief ' can ever think about theorizing about world imploding without the help of Allah???

The problem of rote learning has more to do with finality of knowledge that is insited upon in third world countries like Pakistan.

The problem is with the entrenched religious theologies like mullah Islam.

unless and until we root out these theologies of hate we can never see any progress in sciences.

Gill saab,

Your article is very interesting, it talks about the links between maths and physics.

I was taught very differently, I was told that mathematics teaches you to think in abstract terms, any attempts to make a physical linkage will only limit your learning. Difficult to think in more than 3 dimensions, and well you are stuffed in dealing with vectors.

dy/dx is an operator, it has some rules and that is it, there is no physical interpretation. Mathematics is a system of logic, and there are operators, plus minus to del and integrals and transforms and you name it.

The physical ideas linked to maths is very limiting, may be should be left to hydraulics. Maths is simply a language for abstract thinking.
