Autodidacts teach themselves subjects. In the case of mathematics, working memory deficits can pose problems with learning mathematics in the classrooms for both children and adults. In the case of an adult autodidact trying to learn mathematics from a textbook with a minimum of help, I imagine this would only be compounded. Are there compensatory strategies that would be applicable to facilitate the process? Could software developed by the field of mathematical knowledge management aid significantly as an assistive device as well?
