Sunset on the statue of Al-Khwārizmī in his birth town of Khiva, Uzbekistan
Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, formerly Latinized as Algoritmi, was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and geographer during the Abbasid Caliphate, a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.
Some words reflect the importance of al-Khwārizmī's contributions to mathematics : algebra is derived from al-jabr and algorism and algorithm stem from Algoritmi, the Latin form of his name.
In Kyiv-Mohyla Academy of those days they taught a wide variety of disciplines. Mathematics was a part of them and it included a bunch of subjects: algebra, geometry, optics, dioptrics, physics, hydrostatics, hydraulics, architecture, mechanics and mathematical chronology.
In the XVIIIth century it was Pier Brulion who taught mathematics in Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. He was the French who arrived in Kyiv with the purpose of teaching children French but turned out to be a talented math teacher. Unfortunately, we know very little about that teacher but we can say for sure that he did not lack creativity. Who else could display one of the study aids for mathematics in the courtyard of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and another one right on the central market-place of the city? That's right, in Kyiv there are two sundials designed by Pier Brulion: the second one adorns the pillars of the rotunda over the Fountain of Samson on Kontraktova Square.
“Сонячний годинник П'єра Брульона
Ця скульптура присвячена П'єру Брульону, вчителю математики Києво-Могилянської Академії, який подарував місту два сонячні годинники, власноруч розрахувавши їхню конструкцію. Ці годинники не тільки прикрашали місто, але й слугували студентам за посібник з математики й астрономії.
Якщо зайти у двір Києво-Могилянської академії з боку вулиці Григорія Сковороди, то побачимо на зеленому газоні дивну, на сучасний погляд, споруду: білу колону із зеленим дашком від дощу. Посередині в колону вбудований куб з дивною розміткою та бляшаними трикутниками.
Удень від цих трикутників лягають на розмітку тіні – так працює сонячний годинник. Перед нами найстаріший з навчальних посібників з математики, що зі зберігаються в Києві.
У старій Києво-Могилянській Академії викладали багато різних наук. В їх число входила і математика, під якою тоді розуміли цілий «букет» дисциплін: алгебру, геометрію, оптику, діоптріку, фізику, гідростатику, гідравліку, архітектуру, механіку і математичну хронологію. Викладав математику в Могилянці в XVIII столітті француз П'єр Брульон. Приїхавши до Києва, Брульон спочатку збирався навчати дітей французької, але виявився здібним вчителем математики. На жаль, ми мало що знаємо про цього педагога, проте одне можемо сказати точно: в винахідливості йому не відмовиш. Справді, не кожен вчитель здогадався б виставити один з навчальних посібників у дворі Академії, а другий — просто на центральній ринковій площі міста, прикрасивши ним колони ротонди над фонтаном «Самсон» на Контрактовій площі.
Пройшли сотні років. Ми звикли дізнаватися час по цифрам на смартфонах та в електронних браслетах, і розучилися читати тіні, що їх відкидають стрілки сонячного годинника на стіні. Та й самі сонячні годинники Брульона зараз залишаються точними лише половину року, бо були зроблені набагато раніше, ніж з'явився перехід на «літній час».
Але туристи досі з подивом і повагою розглядають дивну розмітку на цій колоні. А в Києво-Могилянській Академії, як і раніше, студенти вивчають математику. А ще передають з покоління у покоління жарт про старого вчителя: «Створив годинник пан Брульон, щоб вчасно з'їсти свій бульйон».

Algebra
"There is no collective thought. On the other hand our science is
collective like our techniques. Specialization. We inherit not only results but methods which we do not understand. For the matter of that the two are inseparable, for the results of algebra provide methods for other sciences."
~ Simone Weil

This is a doodle I did durring my highschool Algebra class to entertain a couple of my fellow classmates with. This is the ONLY thing I remember about highschool Algebra.
Louisville, Kentucky
Dr. Honeydew: “Hello, Fozzie. Are you learning math today?”
Fozzie: “Oh, when I was younger, I learned about numbers. Today, when I need to know how many things I have, I can count on numbers to give me the total.”
Dr. Honeydew: “Did you learn more when you got older?”
Fozzie: “I tried learning how to work with triangles and make them into circles, but it was pointless.”
Dr. Honeydew: “What about work with equations?”
Fozzie: “My algebra teacher said she was better than my geometry teacher.”
Dr. Honeydew: “Why was that?”
Fozzie: “For one thing, we were always trying to solve for x, not so much for why. But she said she was better as the geometry teacher was too symbol-minded.”
Dr. Honeydew: “Did you study any trigonometry?”
Fozzie: “No, that was difficult to learn as it was in sine language.”
I don't normally like to 'bump' images to the front of my photostream but in this case I'm going to make an exception as it forms the perfect announcement to the Oxfordshire Artweeks 2016 Group Exhibition I'm part of.
Not only is the image featured as one of my eight images but it's on our publicity materials thanks to its relevance as being a shot of the Exhibition venue itself. If you'd like to see some of my architectural images along with the work of another ten talented photographers you'll have to wait until tomorrow (and officially Saturday) as we're not hanging the exhibition till later this afternoon. The last day of the Exhibition will be Driday 27th May so you've got several weeks to get down there........

A very crisp looking detail of the Rafael Viñoly Architects designed Andrew Wiles Mathematical Institute building in Oxford.
Having lost our original Artweeks 2016 Central Library venue due to the redvelopment of the Westgate Centre, I can now reveal that the Oxford Photographers group show will take place inside the atrium of the Andrew Wiles Mathematical Institute building next May.

From Wikipedia : "The Mathematical Institute is the mathematics department at the University of Oxford, England. It forms one of the ten departments of the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Divisional Board in the University.
Oxford Mathematics includes both pure and applied mathematics (statistics is a separate department) and is one of the largest and most respected mathematics departments in the UK with about 90 faculty. Its research covers a range of fields from, for example, Algebra and Number Theory to the applications of mathematics to industry, climate, and the brain. It has over 850 undergraduates, over 200 postgraduates and around 150 MSc students.
As of Michaelmas term 2013 Oxford Mathematics has been unified and is now housed in the striking, purpose built Andrew Wiles Building on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter in North Oxford, near the original Radcliffe Observatory. Sir Andrew Wiles, a Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Oxford, is best known for proving Fermat's Last Theorem."

Algebraic chess notation is the most common way to write chess moves. It uses uppercase letters to identify the pieces: K for king, Q for queen, B for bishop, N for knight, and R for rook. It also uses a grid of lowercase letters (a-h) and numbers (1-8) to name every square. The piece and were the piece is moved is written. Also castling king-side is written as O-O and castling queen-side is written as O-O-O.

Fozzie: “I’m here getting my supper with my high school math teacher, Mr. Al Gebraugh, and he told me that the name of my food is mathematically calculated!”
Chef Cal Q. Less: “I used to teach math, but I kneaded the dough. So I became a chef.”
Al: “You remember the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder? We look at a regular pizza as one big, huge but flat cylinder and apply the volume formula of Volume equals the square of the radius times pi, times the height of the cylinder."
Fozzie: “That’s right! So we let Z equal the radius of our pizza, square it, then multiply it by the height the pizza, which we’ll let the letter ‘a’ represents, then multiply that by pi, which is 3.141592653589,,,”
Al: “Okay, Fozzie! We get the idea. So, once we calculate pi times Z times Z to get the square area of the circle, we then multiply that times ‘a’ to get the total volume of that pizza.”
Fozzie: “And that is how we get the name 'Pizza'! But all this talk is making me hungry!”
Algebra's like sheet music, the important thing isn't can you read music, it's can you hear it. Can you hear the music, Alex?

My first adventuretime fanart!
I decided to enter the threadless x adventuretime competition, but i had no idea what to draw. So i started doodling Finns. It started with 1. and it grew into a gaggle. A gaggle of Finn doodles. 90 in total! Rhombus!
The shirt is currently up for voting! yay!

haha. cute? (:
the textbook underneath doesnt even match! its geometry, and thats algrebra. hehehe. well, you use algebra somewhat in geometry, yeah?
studying is making my brain melllllt. D:
but whatever. i enjoy the late night alone time. and i took a 2hr nap earlier, so i'm all good.
Got bored in algebra and started drawing on my hand.
Tomorrow is my first of three days in AC.
I'm kinda not feeling up to it, 'cause I don't wanna miss biology, because we're watching Outbreak, and it's actually a pretty good movie. And then like I won't be able to do anyyyyything. =/
I'm so upset! I hope I'm not failing anything, though.
Best at #17.
This Buck is coming into his own, I named him Algebra yesterday (11/9/23). I did so because his rack is very symmetrical and I didn't like the way Geometry sounded. But looking up the etymology of Algebra, I think it's a perfect fit: Algebra: from the Arabic - ج ب ر - Al-Jabr: Bonesetting - "Reunion of Broken Parts," from the title of the early 9th century book ʿIlm al-jabr wa l-muqābala - "The Science of Restoring and Balancing," by the Persian mathematician and astronomer al-Khwarizmi. In his work, the term al-jabr referred to the operation of moving a term from one side of an equation to the other, المقابلة al-muqābala "balancing" referred to adding equal terms to both sides.
To the best of my recollection, my favorite Fort Snelling named bucks in order are:
1) Pieball - (Deceased)
2) Crybaby
3) Notch (Deceased)
4) Odin (Deceased)
5) Azazel
6) Scaredy Cat (Scarecrow)
7) Snorty, Huff-n'-Puff Stompers (No show so far in 2023)
8) Spaceman (No Show so far in 2023)
9) Magic Hat (No Show so far 2023)
10) Of Sevens and Eights (Kirby Puckett - likely deceased)
11) Little Big Man (amendment - 11/11/2023 - anyone with 4 points or less is Little Big Man ... and Little Big Man is now just Big Man)
12) Sweetness - he's a runner (New or unrecognizable 2023)
13) Excite-A-Bike
14) Algebra
15) Fancy Pants
16) Horny Bones
17) Hippocamp (Wouldn't know him by sight today)
My Favorite Does this year are, Momma, Baubles and Trinkets (Little Christmas Tree Elves).
and at Dale Street Reservoir:
1) Nine Inch Nails (2023 No Show so far)
2) Sitting Bull
3) Red Cloud
4) Among the Trees - Crazy Horse
4) Lucky - (13 Pointer - No Show 2023 - likely deceased)
5) Rock Star (Wouldn't know him by sight today)
My Favorite Reservoir Does were Momma, Norma and her sister Beep Beep ... But now they would be grown, so I hope they are well and happy with their own little ones
The Reservoir Coyotes I know are:
1) Momma
2) Candy
For Larry!
