This may be akin to being driven. It%27s an internal spring that pushes people to do thinks. And this is the best way to approach maths%2C viz.%2C by doing.

In school it is assumed that the process is logical%2C even algorithmic. While indeed there are problem solving strategies%2C mathematicians often share a notion that solutions come to them unexpectedly after a period of intense concentration on a problem.  %0D%0A
