A Mathematician's Lament

Lockhart's passionate critique makes me wonder what personal experiences or observations led him to see math as an art form rather than just formulas and tests.

His arguments made me reflect on how many of us lost our curiosity for math early on. I'm curious if others felt a similar mix of admiration and regret.

While his ideas are inspiring, I wonder whether they can actually change classroom practices or if they remain idealistic dreams.
