Sick of worrying about the world rotting around us? Me too. Here, learn some mathematics history.

William R. Hamilton: Unlocking Algebra's Secrets
Meet William R. Hamilton, the Irish math genius who revolutionized algebra. In 1843, he invented quaternions, a mathematical concept that paved the way for modern vector analysis and transformed our understanding of 3D #space. Hamilton's innovative work on optics, dynamics, and geometry also left an indelible mark on physics and #mathmatics . His legacy continues to inspire new breakthroughs, a testament to the power of #human curiosity ingenu..

I'm up to the Simplifying Square Roots with Variables lesson of the #algebra basics from #KhanAcademy, and wew boi am I struggling.
I've spent the last 4 hours on this and I feel like there's some foundational step I'm missing because I seem to be getting it most of the time but then there will be one that just doesn't make sense.

On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)
2023 | ausgemusterte Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Taschenrechner
Wem ging Mathe nicht schonmal auf den Geist? Diese Frage kam mir beim Durchsehen der gut 250 ausrangierten Taschenrechner aus dem Friedrich-List-Gymnasium in Reutlingen in den Sinn. Die Rechner gehen zwar nicht mehr, dafür geht heutzutage jedoch die Begeisterung um Computer, statistische Berechnungen und Mathematik weiter denn je.
Der Titel "On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)" geht zurück auf die einflussreiche Publikation des Mathematikers Alan Turing aus dem Jahre 1936, in der er eine universelle Maschine porträtiert und damit eine mathematische Beschreibung dessen liefert, was heute die Grundlage des Computers bildet. Darüber hinaus gab Turing der bis heute unter dem Etikett der "Künstlichen Intelligenz" anhaltenden Idee Vorschub, Zahlen und andere mathematische Formalisierungen – Produkte des menschlichen Hirns – an die Wirklichkeit anzulegen, durch sie hindurch wahrzunehmen und nach ihrem Bilde zu gestalten.
Daraus ergibt sich ein Bild des Rechners oder Computers als eine dem Menschen auf den Geist rückende Maschine. In einer totalitären Form, welche Wirklichkeit als berechenbare Information begreift, wird das Morgen als eine statistische Verlängerung von gestern gezeichnet. Hier und heute werden diesem Paradigma, zur Entgeisterung der Anhänger dieses Mathematikwahns, Taschenrechner in ihrer Unzurechnungsfähigkeit gegenübergestellt.

@lolennui But math is everything. Even pretty pictures. Art work created in #JWildfire using #Fractal #Mathmatics.

Passed multivariable calculus and lots of high level physics in college. Had a career in computing. Helping my fourth grader with some remedial third grade math word problems and both my wife and I are both feeling really slooooooowwwwwww. Questions like find the two numbers who’s sum is this value who have the same product as this value. Or find the two numbers whos difference is this value and the quotient is this value. My brain and apparently those of my immediate family lock up immediately to this line of questioning. #parenting #mathmatics

We have a poster of Maryam Mirzakhani in the library. Unfortunately, it is not in the public area. Only employees can see it. This is a pity, because she is very inspiring. Unfortunately, she died much too early in 2017.
She won the Fields Medal in 2014 and gave the Guardian an interview:

Back in August 1996 @ietf
thought incredibly carefully about cryptography and the internet. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984 Even back then governments were trying to interfere with the internet with weak cryptography. I love the RFC number. #mathmatics #cryptography #orwell #RFC1984
