A juvenile Little Blue Heron makes solving differential equations on the fly look like child's play on Horsepen Bayou.
Do you prefer hands-on experience and discovery or do you rely on your manual?
I knew how to use the camera before I purchased it .. the manual is cool and I definitely refer to it when needed but in my opinion there is nothing like hands on experience and discovering what you can do on your own at times ...
P.S. I HATED math in high school!! Except Algebra because we had a really cool teacher!!
Sometimes. ..sad. ..Sometimes ...proud ..Sometimes. ...frantic. ...Sometimes so bleak...Sometimes. .calculus...Sometimes the thing we see when we close our eyes.
Another year is over for my Calculus students, and FINALLY, I will get a new textbook, one that is easy for students to read.
I know, I know, you are thinking that the sighting of an easy-to-read mathematics textbook, let alone calculus, is rarer than sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. I had some of my students look it over and some wanted to fail the class just so they could use the new textbook next year.
Happy FUTABday, everybody!

"Well, a crazy landscape already, Professor, and now what do you make of that??"
"It looks like 10:10, Tintin."
"Is there a meaning there?"
"Indeed! It is ten minutes past ten o'clock."
"Hm. Okay. I guess I was looking for something a bit more profound. I mean, the clock numbers are weird."
"They tend to ten ten to Tintin."
"You're... just making this up."

It was the 60th Anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima yesterday. This was taken on the 50th. The river that the umbrellas are floating peacefully on was used by the victims to try to cool their burns, burns which had never been experienced before in human history. The calculus of justification at the time is still unclear. What should be certain, now knowing the outcome, is that there is no possible future circumstance to justify these terrible weapons of mass incineration and slow death.
Thank you Kinki.
In habitat near Bitterfontein. Still one of the most attractive species in my opinion. Large plants like these are quite scarce. Most plants observed had 3 to 6 heads.
so yesterday i spent most of my day studying for my math midterm tomorrow...gag.
i went to becca's and that helped a ton. trust me when i say studying with someone helps, because they can answer your questions and vice versa.
anyways. my brain hurts.
In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline.
Slope is normally described by the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line. The line may be practical - as set by a road surveyor - or in a diagram that models a road or a roof either as a description or as a plan.
The rise of a road between two points is the difference between the altitude of the road at those two points, say y1 and y2, or in other words,
the rise is (y2 − y1) = Δy.
For relatively short distances - where the earth's curvature may be neglected, the run is the difference in distance from a fixed point measured along a level, horizontal line, or in other words,
the run is (x2 − x1) = Δx.
Here the slope of the road between the two points is simply described as the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. In mathematical language,
the slope m of the line is
The concept of slope applies directly to grades or gradients in geography and civil engineering. Through trigonometry, the grade m of a road is related to its angle of incline θ by
As a generalization of this practical description, the mathematics of differential calculus defines the slope of a curve at a point as the slope of the tangent line at that point. When the curve given by a series of points in a diagram or in a list of the coordinates of points, the slope may be calculated not at a point but between any two given points. When the curve is given as a continuous function, perhaps as an algebraic formula, then the differential calculus provides rules giving a formula for the slope of the curve at any point in the middle of the curve.
This generalization of the concept of slope allows very complex constructions to be planned and built that go well beyond static structures that are either horizontals or verticals, but can change in time, move in curves, and change depending on the rate of change of other factors. Thereby, the simple idea of slope becomes one of the main basis of the modern world in terms of both technology and the built environment

Do you realise that the symbol used to represent pi….you know, that horrible 3.141….thing you had to learn about at school in maths for calculating the circumference or area of a circle….., originated in North Wales?
The first calculation of pi was made by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world, but it was a much less famous man called William Jones who introduced that symbol ‘π’ which until then was just a Greek letter.
William Jones was born sometime around 1675 on the island Anglesey in the parish of Llanfihangel Tre’r Beirdd, about four miles west of the town which is now Benllech. He had a humble up-bringing and was raised on a small farmstead by his parents Siôn Siôr (John George Jones) and Elizabeth Rowland. However his talent for mathematics quickly became apparent when he attended a charity school at Llanfechell. It was to be his only formal education. His aptitude for the subject ensured that he would not follow in the family footsteps. A local squire and landlord of the distinguished Bulkeley family, heard of his skill and took him under their patronage. They arranged for him to work in a merchant’s counting house in London.
It was only the first of many journeys. Between 1695 and 1702 he served in the Royal Navy, sailing to the West Indies during which time he taught mathematics on board a man-of-war, en-route learning about navigation. He was present at the battle of Vigo in October 1702 when the English successfully captured the Spanish treasure fleet as it was returning to the port in north-west Spain under French escort. Ignoring the obvious riches of silver to be had, he went in search of other booty according to an 1807 memoir by Baron Teignmouth, ‘... literary treasures were the sole plunder that he coveted.’
On his return he published A New Compendium of the Whole Art of Navigation which he dedicated to a benefactor John Harris, a writer, scientist and Anglican priest who had taken him under his wing. Back in the capital, his voyages over, he became a mathematics teacher in coffee houses and as a private tutor to the son of the future Earl of Macclesfield. He also became tutor to Philip Yorke, later 1st Earl of Hardwicke (1690-1764), who became Lord Chancellor and provided an invaluable source of introductions for his tutor.
In those circles, Isaac Newton had already mentioned to the Admiralty the benefit of sending mathematicians to sea. So inevitably it was only a matter of time before Jones came to the attention of Newton after reading “Jones’s Synopsis”, in which the younger man explained Newton’s methods for calculus as well as other mathematical innovations. It was in this book that Jones first used the Greek symbol ‘π’ to denote the pi. More significantly he used it as a constant number - 3.141...
Before Jones, approximations such as 22/7 and 355/113 had also been used to express the ratio. Explaining its use, he wrote: ‘... the exact proportion between the diameter and the circumference can never be expressed in numbers...’. Hence, a symbol was required to represent an ideal that can be approached but never reached. For this Jones recognised that only a pure platonic symbol would suffice.
In 1708 Jones was able to acquire an extensive library and archive, which contained several of Newton’s letters and papers written in the 1670s. The following year he applied for the mastership of Christ’s Hospital Mathematical School, despite references from Newton and Edmund Halley (the astronomer who calculated the orbit of the comet, now named after him) but he was turned down. Jones went back into private teaching but thanks to the papers he had acquired he was able to help his old mentor Newton resolving a dispute with German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz, over which of the men first invented calculus.
In 1712 Jones joined the committee set up by the Royal Society to determine which of them invented calculus. He was now firmly in the mathematical establishment.
He married twice, firstly the widow of his counting-house employer, whose property he inherited on her death.He remarried in 1731, to Mary, the 22-year-old daughter (30 years his junior) of cabinet-maker George Nix, with whom he had three children.
And therein lies the story of ‘π’ and it’s origins in North Wales. My photo is actually of part of some derelict structure of the Penmaenmawr quarry, the quarry that has removed the top one third of this granite mountain. But I thought it looked like ‘π’ standing high above the North Wales Expressway.
I have a Christmas Party on Saturday Evening. Nothing "over the top" so I picked out something festive. You can never go wrong with a Prada bag. Versace is always nice for the holidays too. There is only one issue staring me in the face at the moment, as I look down. It looks to be an advanced calculus problem. How to get the items on the left hand side photo into the corset on the right hand side picture? So I asked my husband for assistance. He took a look and then looked again. Finally he said "Its a problem for NASA or the Russians to solve baby. Modern man hasn't come that far yet." End of discussion, back up went his newspaper.
Where's Howard Hughes when you need him? Can someone answer that for me?

Algebra is very simple compared to its highly abstract mathematical cousin shown here. Alas, this conjures up bad memories of all but hitting a wall taking calculus in college.

Inktober 2020 - I'm definitely not inspired by this list. Or maybe I just don't have/take the time this challenge deserve.
