First (and hopefully not last 😅) blog post of the new year: want to understand logarithms intuitively? Then start thinking about them as clocks ⏰ Thanks to @stevenstrogatz and @3blue1brown for looking over a first draft: mehta-rohan.com/writings/blog_… (1/2)

Finally some reasonable suggestions! Don’t cite it as an author, describe in detail how the tool was used. Makes a great deal of sense to me in many of writing applications. nature.com/articles/d4158…


#ma205 this is the difference between a conditional and its converse, as we spoke about in class Friday! More on converse errors and arguments to come in the next few weeks of discrete math!

To demonstrate how computers work, Alex Gorischek has made a physical example of how binary logic gates work using pulleys and weights. For anyone who doesn’t know much about logic gates, it’s a great lesson in one of the fundamentals of circuitry [video: ow.ly/WTvD30obozP]
