Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a graphic technique called "Mind Graph" for solving math problems. Participants explore its foundations, examples, and the method of creating and interpreting these graphs, which seem to draw from various branches of knowledge.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Angel S.P. introduces the "Mind Graph" technique as a useful method for solving math problems, suggesting it has diverse foundational knowledge.
  • Vivek expresses appreciation for the technique, indicating a positive reception.
  • Some participants express confusion and skepticism about the effectiveness and clarity of the Mind Graphs, questioning their coherence and interpretability.
  • A later post provides a brief explanation of the method, detailing the structure of Mind Graphs, including the central topic, boxes for information, and arrows for extracting information.
  • Several participants request further clarification and express difficulty in understanding the examples provided on the linked site.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus among participants. While some find the technique intriguing, others express confusion and skepticism regarding its clarity and utility.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight a lack of clear explanations and coherent examples on the linked site, which may limit understanding of the Mind Graph technique.

Hello , the other day I discover a graphic technique very useful to solve math problems ...
It has got foundations of different branches of the knowledge ...
There are a few examples of how to solve math problems
ahh the technique is "Mind Graph"
Best Regards

Hi AngelSP

This is cool...thanks :-)

Cheers

Hey I thought that site was kind of retarded. But maybe I just didn't get it ?
 
Oh yeah I probably just don't get it. Anyone want to explain it further ?
 
Am I missing something here? I can find no link that explains what these Mind Graphs are and how to create them or interpret them.
 
What's going on ?? I don't get it. Looked through 2 examples...found some incoherent scribbles...no obvious solution appeared anywhere !
 
Aclarations

About this method ...
The first thing that you should know is that you begins putting the topic on the center of the paper
The center can be a word, a drawing, a sentence, etc
You can developing that central topic with the help of questions (arrows)
The growth of the drawing is from the center to the periphery
It has 3 elements: the boxes, the arrows and the extensions lines
The extensions lines and the boxes are very similar semantically
The boxes are to store the information
The arrows are to extract information (like a function)

You can see explanation of this method in : http://www.freewarefiles.com/programs.php?ProgramID=9665&categoryid=16&subcategoryid=168
