A free edX course from UT Austin focused on mathematical thinking and reasoning rather than computation, aimed at helping learners think more effectively through mathematical ideas.

One commenter says they found it valuable after reading an article on learning mathematics, and it was offered as a related resource.

    As someone who struggled with math and hated it in high school and now loves it but still struggles with it I got a lot out of this article. It brought to mind this EdX course: "Effective Thinking Through Mathematics"[0] which I also found valuable.

    Has anyone read the author's book[1] and can recommend it (or not)? It only has 2 reviews, a 5-star and a 3-star and the latter review is not helpful.
