That's Mathematics!


A fun site for mathematics is The Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes, complete with the famous proof that 1=2.

Counting sheep / When you're trying to sleep...

I may have mentioned before that I work in a small educational toy shop. The focus of the shop is Mathematics. My boss was told that a store with math as a focus would never succeed, yet she's been in business over 8 years now.

Being fair / When there's something to share...

Since starting work there in March (fresh off a stint on unemployment) I have had to relearn a lot of the math I once knew. It's been an uphill climb in a lot of ways, but I've also learned that I really like math a lot more than I realized I did. I may have been an English Grad, but I still think I made a huge error by not staying with math.

Being neat / When you're folding a sheet...

I think I've said before, I make a quarter the money as my old job, work twice as hard, and have at least five times as much fun. Just a little more money and I'd be set.

...Oh try as you may, you just can't get away from mathematics!

Anyway, here's the location as seen from above. Yeah, I had a little too much fun with TerraServer.



Oh yeah, and the song of the day is "That's Mathematics" by Tom Lehrer, some of which I quoted above.
