This is just efficiency

My dad was a great mathematician and professor. He always taught me to look at a problem in several different ways. He would solve it in the easiest way possible, but would also investigate other ways to solve. When I was stuck on a problem (and probably annoyed with it), my dad would say, "start with what you know and go from there". After some grumbling, I would do that, and usually that would get me to the eventual solution.

I looked at it, stepped back for a minute, and continued to step back until I could no longer see it. Worked a treat.

This is actually the art of calculus, small investments, big outcomes.

Im studying math at grad school right now and this is SO true, because pretty much all of the important results in math come from some mathematician thinking "I really don't want to have to deal with this kind of problem ever again, so I am going to try to solve every problem of this kind at once." Or some similar line of thought. Math is all about putting incredible amounts of work into not having to do work.
