9:36 this is a pretty widespread issue imo. Even when I was coming up through calculus there was not a focus AT ALL on reading theorems and their proofs. It was 100% just crunching numbers and problem solving. Theorems were only pushed on us when we got to linear algebra. You'd better believe that most of us found it really difficult. How do you think instructors could better motivate their students to read theorems and their proofs?

Great question. It is just astounding to me that we have mathematics curriculum that does not include theorems! I have experience teaching at various levels; there are a lot of expectations laid on instructors. As mathematicians, we know the importance of various topics, including theorems. It is a difficult balance at times to cover the given standards and the topics we know are essential. It is also important for both instructors and students to be flexible enough to move beyond a specific textbook to cover a topic.

Yeah it's a red flag if they can't bring them self to say theorm. I didn't learn partial fractions until calc 2. Calculation still has a place in the stat circulum.

@@walter274 I was on a different program when I learned calculus; it was done over 4 quarters. I don't remember when I learned some things. Some topics I learned while teaching. Cheerful Calculations 🧮.
