Dealing with math

Welcome to math tutors online,

We certainly have some experience dealing with this sort of
"unbeliever," as you can see from our FAQ! People have trouble
believing that 0.999... = 1, that -1 * -1 = 1, and so on; math forum; our usual
approach is to give them a variety of explanations and hope that one
of them might get through.

And it's not just untrained people who have
this problem; mathematicians have stumbled over their intuition in the
past, as to whether numbers can be irrational, whether negative or
imaginary numbers make sense, whether there are as many integers as
rational numbers. We've learned through such experiences not to trust
our intuition.
