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."

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.
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?
… with a little help from a 35 year-old TI-37 Galaxy Solar calculator. I'd like to see how useful an iPhone or that laptop will be in 2054...
Branch of mathematics employed by ospreys (and others) to determine the velocity, trajectory, and grappling point for landings on Horsepen Bayou.
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.
That's what happens when one is acting the goat...

Trevor and I were on a walk through Cité Soleil, and we went into a church made of tin roofing material. There, on desks made from scrap lumber, were several teens were working on vector calculus problems (that's Calc III). They have no calculus teacher, and are able to do this because they found a textbook in a donation pile and have been teaching themselves.
This picture was not posed, and they didn't know we were coming, this was a totally random interaction.
I'm putting together a laptop to send back to them loaded with learning materials from MIT's OpenCourseWare and other sources. If you'd like to contribute let me know and I'd be happy to include other items in the donation (digital or physical).
For reference, here's what Wikipedia has to say about their home:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cité_Soleil
"Cité Soleil (Kreyol: Site Solèy, English: Sun City) is a very densely populated commune located in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area in Haiti. The lawless Cite Soleil is regarded by many as one of the most dangerous places on earth. It was developed as a shanty town. Most of its estimated 200,000 to 400,000 residents live in extreme poverty.[1] The area is generally regarded as one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of the Western Hemisphere's poorest country; it is one of the biggest slums in the Northern Hemisphere. There is little to no police presence, no sewers, no stores, and little to no electricity.[2]
The neighborhood, originally designed to house manual laborers for a local Export Processing Zone (EPZ), quickly became home to squatters from around the countryside looking for work in the newly constructed factories. After a 1991 coup d'état deposed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a boycott of Haitian products closed the EPZ.[3] Cité Soleil was soon thrust into extreme poverty and persistent unemployment, with high rates of illiteracy.[2]
Armed gangs roam the streets. Murder, rape, kidnapping, looting, and shootings are common as every few blocks is controlled by one of more than 30 armed factions.[4] The area has been called a "microcosm of all the ills in Haitian society: endemic unemployment, illiteracy, non-existent public services, insanitary conditions, rampant crime and armed violence".[5]
After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, it took nearly two weeks for relief aid to arrive in Cité-Soleil.[6] Although the US military have willingly accepted their new role, their relief efforts have been criticized by some as insufficient.[7]"
