SAN DIEGO (July 26, 2017) Damage Controlman 3rd Class Elizabeth Lacoste helps a student put on a firefighting helmet during a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) event in the hangar bay of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2). This event was part of the annual National Naval Officers Association (NNOA) Professional Development and Training Symposium coordinated with the San Diego chapter NNOA. The Department of the Navy is actively engaged in efforts to improve STEM education in the Unites States in order to ensure that an educated workforce is ready to meet the Navy and Marine Corps manning needs.

They are water droplets, .... so weigh something, .....
This is the accepted mathmatics to calculate density and weight .....
"They may look light and fluffy, but those big white things floating overhead are pretty hefty. A typical cloud has a volume of around 1km3 and a density of around 1.003kg per m3 – about 0.4 per cent lower than that of the surrounding air, which is why they float. So cranking through the maths, that means that a typical cloud weighs around a million tonnes".
A MILLION TONNES ! ! !
More than 700 fourth and fifth graders from four school districts in San Joaquin County converged on the Stockton campus of University of the Pacific for the sixth annual Math Steeplechase. They were split into teams of five to six students each and each team had to solve six complex mathmatical problems with only 10 minutes per problem. The best scoring teams and schools received trophies. It wasn't all just math. Students also were taken on a scavenger hunt on campus and also played games with Pacific athletes.
انا وواحد من العيال
جبنا العشاء ولقطت له صورة على الطاير
العشاء كان مثلوثة ورز بشاور
طبعاً شي فوق الخيال .. مع السفن اب يقضي القرقر
قولوا ماشاء الله بعد ترى المستشفيات مليانه هاليومين
الله لا يبلانا
والله يشفي مرضى المسلمين آمين يارب العالمين
الله يقومهم بالعافيه ويمتعم بالصحة والقوة ويرجعهم لاهلهم يآآآآآآآآرب
ويوفق الهلال اهم شي

I expect most people have heard of the conic sections, the circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola which can all be formed by slicing a cone with a plane. I've just learned of this geometric method which can be used to find the two foci which are a separate way of defining or constructing an ellipse.
It turns out that if you take two spheres, such that they are tangent to the surface of the cone on a circle, and also tangent to the plane slicing through the cube at one point, those points where each sphere is tangent to the plane will coincide with the foci necessary to construct the same ellipse by finding the curve that is the sum of the distance from any point on the curve to the two foci.
In this image I've taken an overhead perspective view showing the surface area of the ellipse and the two small green spheres I've used to mark its foci or the points at which the spheres embedded in the cone were tangent to its surface.
You know, I think I would really like to study geometry more deeply, best yet as the mathematics of computer graphics. But I would want to study it à la carte, just choose whichever topics seem interesting and fruitful to me, without having to do things in the order someone else decided was best. No prerequisites either. Because if I have to know the math before I can use it then I will never use most of it, because I won't find most of it to be worth my time until I have an application to which it is an essential tool.
That's how I think math and physics should be taught, as the tools you need in order to construct your own video game.
