Please answer it as I need the answer immediately. This a vast vast community of great minds, so please answer the question asked by a small mind.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
- Lao Tzu
Like and unlike the proverb above, the solution to a problem begins (and continues, and ends) with simple, logical steps. But as long as one steps in a firm, clear direction, with long strides and sharp vision, one would need far, far less than the million of steps needed to journey a thousand miles. And mathematics, being abstract, has no physical constraints; one can always restart from a scratch, try new avenues of attack, or backtrack at an instant's notice. One does not always have these luxuries in other forms of problem-solving (e.g. trying to go home if you are lost). |
