cosmological vertigooooo

Yes! she is 10 now. 

We started talking about graphs and I showed her a few on desmos. She particularly enjoyed y=(e^x)(sin(x)) because it “looked like a good slide”. I thought I’d bring up infinity again and she had a much better reaction than last time. She also found the idea of limits very interesting which is great! (I will expand on this eventually if we talk about sequences and series).

I thought a good way to start off would be to have a discussion about infinity. She seemed very intrigued and was asking good questions but after some time, she snapped and became incredibly violent. She chased me with a stick through the house and wouldn’t stop to listen to anything I said.

Binary puzzles are really fun and an easy game to pick up, highly recommend if you need a break from your crippling Tetris addiction.

https://binarypuzzle.com <-- This website has an insane amount of puzzles and even has unique daily ones!

Here are the rules from the website:

1. Each box should contain either a zero or a one.

2. More than two equal numbers immediately next to or below each are not allowed.

3. Each row and each column should contain an equal number of zeros and ones.

‘Opiniated History of Mathematics’ is a Spotify podcast that I listened to at the beginning of the year because I was intrigued by how opinionated one could really be about tHe HisTORy oF mATheMATics. I was pleasantly surprised because not only was this guy OPINIONATED AS FUCK, he was OBSESSED with slandering Galileo and every single opinion of his was a super hard hit or a massive miss.

Highly recommend playing some video games and listening to a few episodes. Unfortunately, I stopped because he started insulting teachers and I think he even quoted “those who can, do. those who can’t, teach”.  And by that point he just kept repeating the same opinions over and over and it was getting stale.
