  6. Kicking us off on our first session of the morning was Matt Parker @standupmaths who shared how he's planning to break the world record for the most digits of π calculated by hand, for next π day (see his other attempts here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLht). We also heard from Bob Huxley, who has also been thinking about π day, but this time on Mars where it turns out it's actually tomorrow! Annette Margolis then talked about her class' favourite (and least favourite) way to solve quadratic equations. John Hoskinson discussed Diffy Squares (mathforlove.com/2020/03/diffy-) and adapted them to generalised diffy N-gons - for odd N, you get repeating cycles! Nobody has ever said the word 'diffy' more times in the space of 5 minutes. Alistair Bird @outofthenorm shared about a mathematician who got inspired in the bath (but not that one), and what his discovery meant (turns out, not much, but it did inspire some nice results around Fermat's Last Theorem). Read more here: outofthenormmaths.wordpress.co Adam Atkinson talked about Misère Games, leading to his discovery of just how many semigroups of order 8 there are, inducting us all into membership of DOCTIAL (the Department of 'Crikey! That Is A Lot!'); and finally Harlan Connor got LOUD about signal processing - it's possible to have peaks in audio volume that are higher than the maximum value the system can store! #mathsjam #maths #pi #worldrecords #mars #piday #quadraticequations #classwork #teaching #diffysquares #baths #inspiration #misèregames #doctial #loud #signalprocessing #groups #monoids #semigroups #combinatorialgametheory

  11. How far can it go?

    I worked with this little watercolor painting tonight from the spontaneous watercolor landscape workshop.[…]

  12. Spontaneous Watercolor Class Part Three

    I'll have to go back and watch part two again because in part three, it seemed doing wet on dry was quite different - and it worked great to make funky little edges and shapes[…]

  17. Yesterday I did the first stage work for lesson three of Spontaneous Watercolor Landscapes with Steve Mitchell via Strathmore. Today I tried to pull out some landscape. This one ended up being a rose arbor. Thought the reddish brown blobs might end up flowers but the verticals suggested something taller.

    The other one doesn't look like particular trees but I will work on it some more. Maybe I can get a stone bridge in there.

    My original small palette was on the table with a roll of big brushes so that's what I used!

    When I woke up this morning I was an itchy mess. Or at least my neck and chin were an itchy mess. I was going to take some benadryl, but I guess this doesn't happen often enough (thank goodness) so t[…]

  31. Another rainy day, with bits of blue sky quiltr.com/?p=23828

    putting out big pots
    knocking out last year's plants
    stubborn balls of roots.
