Pedro Pascal as Math Textbooks—a thread.
Today I said "using root notation and fractional powers in the same expression is like changing the font in the middle of a word." This clearly resonated as many students visibly cringed.
The book is out! eBook available now at your finer internets, print should ship soon! #squigonometry
Went over a problem in calculus discussing a function f(x) that reports the value of a house located x feet from the beach. I'm not sure the sign of df/dx is the same as it was two weeks ago.
All natural numbers are interesting. Proof: Suppose not. Let n be the smallest uninteresting number. But that's interesting! Contradiction. #proofinatweet
#mathprints for a multivariable calculus classroom activity, or possibly a scale model of a Romulan city.
Great but he was not alone in that intersection...
Today I learned that the Venn diagram was invented by John Venn from Kingston Upon Hull and this is the commemorative plaque in his honour. This makes me very happy!
New medication has uncontrollable hiccups as a side effect. Just in time for the first day of teaching tomorrow.
Tricky math puzzle: Suppose we have a disk of diameter 20 and strips of width 1 and length 20. We can cover the disk using 20 strips by laying them side-by-side. Can we do it with 19? No cutting is allowed. My next tweet is the answer/solution. 1/6
Circles are boring. Let's break them by changing those 2's in the Pythagorean theorem to 4's. Or 1's. Or ∞'s. Then you have new geometries, new square-like circles, new trig functions & new π's. Check out our forthcoming book on #squigonometry! amzn.to/3pnSJwe
My #squigonometry co-author @RPoodiack will be on Vermont Viewpoint with Ric Cengeri on @WDEVRadio tomorrow at 9am ET to talk about our forthcoming book
My daughter made a little table out of an aborted 3D print. It appears that her dollhouse will be largely furnished with 3D printer prototypes and failures.
A moment's thought and I'd have printed this in two halves. Tried freeing the bottom half from support jail just to see if I could. All I made was a huge mess. #mathprints
Teaching mutivariable calculus for the 1st time in a while this fall. Got a new 3D printer to up my manipulatives game. Meet my first #mathprint, r=1+(sin^2(2ϕ))-cos^2(θ)
