Sunday, 9 March 2014 Infinity and Beyond (2001) Watching the Horizon documentary "Infinity and Beyond" had renewed my interests in the concept of mathematical infinity. And how the concept is fraught with paradoxes. One example of such paradox can be illustrated as follows (this is not mentioned in this documentary)...
Algol: "From Arabic al-ghul 'the demon' (see ghoul). It corresponds, in modern representations of the constellation, to the gorgon's head Perseus is holding, but it probably was so called because it visibly varies in brightness every three days, which sets it apart from other bright stars. The computer language (1959) ...

Lets face it -- π sucks. Not pie, pie is genuinely awesome and so is the fact that "pie" sounds like "π", so we can have fun with things like this. But seriously... π? It's totally off by a factor of 2!

Children in public schools should start with the usual arithmetic then to calculus as the final part of a secondar...
Mathematics by Anne Rooney In order to understand the universe you must know the language in which it is written. And that language is mathematics.' Galileo (1564-1642) For hundreds of thousands of years, we have sought order in the apparent chaos of the universe. Mathematics has been our most valuable tool in that s...

Equations that describe the natural world can convey profound truths while at the same time, to a trained eye, look absolutely beautiful. It is like learning to appreciate a work of art.

Tag: Random Number Are Random Number Generators truly random? Having carried out some research on random number generators or RNG's for short I concluded that there are degrees of randomness.

3 Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, who discovered the binomial theorem, (A theory he came up with) he also invented calculus, and produced theories of mechanics, optics, and the law of universal gravitation. Many of his ideas for which he is famous were developed in isolation in the year 1665 during the Great...

Month: April 2016 … Far too many ideas, far too little time.

Mathematics - Etymology Etymology The wordmathematics comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which, in the ancient Greek language, means "what one learns", "what one gets to know", hence also "study" and "science", and in modern Greek just "lesson". The word máthēma is derived from μανθάνω (manthano), while the moder...

Pierre de Fermat Fermat, Pierre de (1601–65), French mathematician, founder of modern number and probability theories. Fermat's Last Theorem, which was not proven until 1993, states that there is no whole number solution of xn+yn=zn, where x, y, and z are nonzero integers and n is an integer greater than 2. Fermat's P...

We've never escaped the influence of the Babylonians. That there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 360 degrees in a full circle, are all echoes of the Babylonian preference for counting in base 60. An affinity for base 12 (inches in a foot, pence in an old British shilling) is also an offshoot, 12 ...
