BetterExplained: Math Lessons That Explain Concepts

This site is a hidden gem on the internet. This guy deserves a lot more credit. I think he's doing something at the level of Khan Academy, but for seemingly simple concepts we all take for-granted. An article I really enjoyed was his explanation of Quake's inverse square root method: https://web.archive.org/web/20150530232103/http://betterexpl... What I also appreciate is that he admits when he doesn't understand something and doesn't pretend to give an incomplete, vague explanation and just straight up says he…

I do enjoy Khalid's explanations, and I applaud anyone who is exploring different mediums and methods to help improve education, especially around Mathematics and Computing (my areas of interest).

"I want to share hard-won “a ha!” moments in clear and simple language." I looked at a couple of articles and they seem to achieve this pretty well. http://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-quakes-fas... is a great explanation (previously discussed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=419166) - it omits some detail to better convey the key ideas. This one's going in my RSS reader.
