I know I'm stupid in this regard.

My largest takeaway was just the joy of looking at the results of mathematical constructs for patterns. Not just symbolically manipulating expressions, but also simply listing the results and seeing what could be found.

That is, many of the techniques he showed involved simply recognizing patterns in output. Then, exploring the equations symbolically to see if he could explain these ideas.

Though, again, limited intelligence on my end. :)
