Effort, yes. Higher authority, no. This could summarize the spirit of Sangakoo, a new initiative for learning mathematics via the Internet that was born in Barcelona. The method, based on a social network, promises to convert mathematics into an intellectual game that is addictive for its users. This approach stands out from both traditional systems of mathematics as well as those which try to sell learning them as "fun."
