Re: what is understanding?



It occured to me that good time to formulate understanding is when we are
trying to make sense of something without being successful. Suppose a good
high school physics students, after studying mechanics, reads an article
with a pencil in his hand. All goes fine till a reference to a lagrangian
is made. The student is forced to admit "I do not understand this anymore".
