I was enjoying myself this morning rereading Ted Sturgeon's Microcosmic God, when he referred to raising a number to the zeroth power. I first read it back in the late 1960s, so I was on my own then. But bless the internet, I was able to find a math for dummies video, and WOW! I got to remember what a joy math class was, and the beautiful logic that permeates all.
The information/video was very interesting. Thank you for sharing it. I will have to see if they have one using Algebra. When I was in school, Algebra was my best math class I was really good at in high school.
Good afternoon (for me in the U.S. anyway) Activity2004,
In high school, I loved Plane Geometry. I aced every test all year. Because from the first lesson, the beautiful theorems made me feel I'd come home.
I'm not surprised you found it interesting. I have noticed that you write clearly, therefore think clearly. I suspect there's a connection to clear thought and doing well in math. What do you think?
It's hard to say. I had an Algebra Teacher who taught the class really well and most of us passed every test we had each semester. The teacher made the class fun and easy to understand.
I do that since it's easier for me. I work in a Senior Center for the County Government, but we're closed until further notice because of the COVID 19.
I read a lot and go on the computer during the day. I also talk to my brother and his family. They called today on Video Chat and we talked this afternoon at 3:45 pm. Talked about how things were going today.
That's fantastic news. My walking is mostly up and down the steps in the house for now. I also try to reorganize everything so it's not piling up here and there.
I used to enjoy Maths, although I was slow at it. However, when it got to Algebra my brain just said NOPE!
I found out much later that I am dyscalculic, and the abstract nature of Algebra stumped me. I am a visual learner, so I have to use ways to work around it.
Cheers, Midori
