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.

A + K = ♥, then is

A 2-Xing (two-timing) C + K?

Have you ever been on a road trip with people who had no interest in photography or beef jerky. That is the situation I found myself in on the way to North Carolina for Thanksgiving.

I debated whether to even post this photo because it is so terrible, but since it isn’t my fault I decided to do it anyway.

 

All of you will recognize the various mistakes here:

1. Taking the photo through the van window.

2. Having a dirty van window.

3. Flares and bright glints off the chrome.

4. Photo too dark and not exposed correctly.

5. Poor composition.

 

The first reason it is not my fault is because even though it was a cold, windy day, I kept opening the side van window to get a shot of houses, ruins, signs, etc. if we were going over 50 MPH the high wind would blow the van a bit to the side. Also, I guess the cold blast of air was unpleasant because people kept yelling at me to close the window. I tried a few more times, but then had to compensate by taking photos through the glass because the passengers were getting downright rude.

 

When you take photos through a window from a moving vehicle, you have to have a knowledge of algebra and geometry to rapidly calculate where to aim the camera at 50 MPH to get your subject in the shot. Yeah, I don’t have that knowledge.

The second reason it is not my fault is because the other people would not stop for me to take a photo, even though I asked (well shrieked) “Stop the car!” Just pull into that parking lot! Come on, I want to get a picture of that sign.”

The response. “Are you kidding? No. We are already past it.”

 

“Then can we go to the Beef Jerky store?”

Again the answer was, “No-one even likes beef jerky.”

I told them that I did and it was only 4 miles out of our way.

 

Alas, no jerky for me ... well I had my family :)))

Algebra and new math can be very confusing, even for my nephew (that's right, I said "nephew").

Teusday. Tuesday. I always spell that wrong....:)

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

HMMM!

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

A bit of algebra I found on a horse farm of all places.

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 use a number of mathematical equations in my crochet projects since I am generally using yarn from my stash and not full skeins.

 

I have a list of the number of total stitches per round as well as the cumulative total. After a few rounds I weigh the piece in grams and divide by the number of total stitches. This gives my an approx weight per stitch. Using that figure, I can determine how many stitches I can get from the yarn available. That helps me decide on color placement. Next, I measure the increase in size per round to determine how many rounds it will take for the desired size. When finished, I make a note of the total weight in grams. All this solving for X takes time but a lot less frustrating than ripping a project apart because there isn't enough yarn.

 

While it's not an eXact science, it gives me a pretty good estimate.

 

This blanket is now done and I can "X" it off the list.

 

Yes, I do like math and nice to be able to put those algebra skills to good use

Does this kind of algebraic geometry give you existential dread?

  

ODC: Geometry

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.

Questo signore era fuori dal palazzo del congresso Catalano nel giorno della dichiarazione d'indipendenza con una curiosa domanda per i politici e noi tutti.

 

As phoebird requested, here are details of the triptich. A fine idea for flickr because one of the problems here is getting a sense for larger pieces that I do. This triptich will be about 18" x 48" on the wall, if not a little lerger. But I kind of like them as iindividiual statements too.

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.

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?

 

Can You Hear The Music

 

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.

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

Some might not find algebra to be all that clear but then again, I have a degree in mathematics!

Another digital paper incorporating an item chosen from LaWendula's Collage Box project. This one might end up as a card, but i think that it would still be a great foundation for a more of a more complex collage or scrapbook layout.

Slamacow! Mathematical! Rhombus!

 

A little pillow version of Finn's head from the show, Adventure Time. I embroidered one of his math related phrases onto the back of his head. Algebraic!

Macro Monday (8.31.09): "Back to School"

 

Remember these EF half pencil/half ink erasers? The pink pencil side was always so perfect--just firm but pliable enough to erase without leaving a trace...then you'd go to use the ink side on a Bic-related mistake and it would shred your paper like a puppy with a new pair of shoes. Arrrggghh.
