Day 18/366: Sliding Ruler
Just like how the body is made up of cells as the basic structural unit of life, every complicated thing, be it abstract or not, starts from a simple thing. Take for example in engineering - Before you actually learn how to solve differential equations or simplify block diagrams of control systems, you must first familiarize yourself with the basic operations and also deal with all sorts of fractions. Before you could program different codes, you should learn to understand how a computer thinks first. And before you could actually design a machine, you must first learn the basics of measurements and control of drawings.
As we progress, we encounter a bunch of theories and principles, but it's good to go back to the basics once in a while to appreciate how far we've gone in terms of the knowledge that we've gained - And that's what makes learning fun. ☺
