That stim toy is also a 'calculation rag' for some binary number stuff...

Everything can be used as a calculator...

... plus, this 'calculator rag' feels nice!

... You can even turn it around and have a kind of invert thing.

hmm.. I wonder what sort of useless things I come up with as I add some transformation concepts in this calculator rag thingy.

This stim toy might be a nice tool for explaining some binary number system stuff and arithmetics to people/children in a more playful, interactive and enjoyable way.

we could have mobile games like cool math duck life and papas pizzeria and bloonz tower defense and old masterpieces like original angry birds and jet pack joyride and small online games like webkinz home before dark and polar bear plunge and flash games like holeio and snake and we could have barbie dress up and horse riding and we could have them all without thousands of shitty 2 minute ads and microtransactions and unskippable popups and imbedded app store links and we could have new games new incredible story based adventures, puzzles, well designed mini platformers, we have an entire universe of unexplored medium right here in the palm of your hand! we could have REAL games! real wonderful games not misleading not clickbait we could have everything in the whole wide world and we could have them them on the phone! WE COULD HAVE THEM ON THE PHONE !!!!!!!!!!! DOES IT NOT MAKE YOU SICK???? DOES IT NOT SHATTER YOUR HEART !!!!

Redid my chiptune chipmunk again, and this time they have solid ears again!

Chippu (Electric/Normal): A Chippu’s tail changes shape depending on their mood and the moves they use during battle. Chippus like to sing with other Chippus, often creating very different sounds that one couldn’t make alone.

On Math, Philosophy, Science and Art

Math, like any philosophy, is a lens. A lens through which we can look at reality. People may say that math is not a philosophy, but they would be wrong.

Philosophies are all lenses to look at the world with. They are each of them carved out of axioms, polished by their exploration of the emerging ideas, and peered through in order to make sense of the universe.

What makes math stand out so much from other philosophies is its sheer predictive power when used in scientific context. But fundamentally, all philosophies are predictive when used in scientific context. Many philosophies are applicable to sociology, or psychology. Math, or rather, formal logic, is just usually applied to entirely different fields of science, namely physics or chemistry, which causes the confusion about logic being a philosophy at all. But it is!

Science is to observe and interpret the world, then to record the findings. While the observation and recording is done either directly or with help from technology, the interpretation is done with help from philosophy.

This means, that science shares a lot of its makeup with art. There too, someone interprets the world, and then records something, but the record is tied closer to the interpretation than to the observation. Usually. The line between the two is blurry, and if you are a scientist, or an artist, you might have noticed that blur already.

Some of the most beautiful artistic talent i have found, i found within the elegance of a theory in physics, or the simplicity of a proof in mathematics.

Some of the most impressive record-keeping i have seen in artworks that are almost photorealistic, and that without actual photography.

same as always math nerd matt boyd i'm sorry i love my boy too much

WIP Wednesday Game 8/9/23 (OPEN) | Math Nerd AU

Neil ends up helping Matt far more than Matt helped him. Neil only had two large suitcases to bring up to their room while Matt had all of the furniture pieces and decorations that he had wanted to bring for the room this year.

Neil didn't complain as he helped him lug the TV into the elevator that his mom had gotten him this year.

He couldn't help but laugh at the one thing that Neil had brought with him in terms of not immediate necessities.

"Seriously?" as he looks at a coffee machine that looks like it belongs in a Starbucks and not on their meager kitchen counter.

"If you're gonna be mean I won't even consider giving you the course on how to use it." Neil returns.

It had a dedicated attachment for frothing milk.

"No, no, by all means have your fancy coffee dude. Any rules on using it?" he asks.

"Don't mess with my coffee and I won't mess with yours." Neil said with a shrug.

Easy enough.

Obey me merchandise has be doing math willingly I think I've gone too far into the silly moment

New challenge (to establish a daily routine): Creating one new polytope info card after breakfast - each day.

(That is the first page of the list of the polytopes I want to make. (92 Johnson solids will be very very much, and I have to stop myself from thinking about those many solids. but eeeh. we might approach it step by step... )

So, I started the polytope cards project some time in the summer of this year.

I already made all 5 platonic solids,

some regular 4-polytopes (the 4D platonic solids plus the 24-cell that has no 3D sibling),

and the first 4 archimedian solids.

Today I created the truncated octahedron card:

Yesterday I made the truncated tetrahedron card:

The general template of the cards is as following:

This project is still in progress.

Furtherly I want to add:

completely off topic but pre-calc is kicking my butt!! ap gov > math any day imo because tell me why i spend like 3 hours weekly trying to figure out my homework 😭😭.

Here's the updated art of the design I showed off in my latest video

A closed space in 2D is called a polygon, polyhedron in 3D, and polychoron in 4D. In math, calculations of multiple dimensions can be done with longer matrices; however, visualizing multiple dimensions can yield to very interesting observations. The tesseract is the 4D version of a cube, and even though it looks like a cube inside a larger cube, the tesseract is made up of 8 cubes with one of them wrapping itself over the entire shape.

Dracogon (Neuro/Spectral): Dracogons can shimmy themselves into tight spaces to avoid any predators, but they are slow at turning around. Dracogons often swim together, creating a wall of color that they themselves do not see at all.

Drachedron (Neuro/Spectral): Drachedrons hide inside a tough boxy exterior to scout their surroundings before changing their path of travel. Drachedrons can float directly up, down, left, right, forwards, or backwards, once they know where they want to go.

Drachoron (Neuro/Spectral): Drachorons use psychic energy to cover themselves with an additional layer then they are under attack. The webbing around Drachorons keep rising and falling as Dracorons can encase their whole bodies in the webbing.

This is a shameless pitch for my field of work but if you like biology and you like coding...consider bioinformatics as a career  👀  Especially if you live in the US, as it's well-known for its bionformatics scene.

in curious, what is the correct answer for that poll you posted ? and the math behind it? im not super good at math and i like hearing people who know more explain it

I’m confident that the answer is 4! here is why

this is our equation: 4 ÷ 2(2) = ?

first, it’s important to note that there is multiplication in this problem despite the lack of a written out multiplication symbol. when a number is right on the outside of a parenthesis, like one of our 2s is, there is an implied multiplication symbol next to it. another way this problem could be written is 4 ÷ 2 x 2 , and it would be the same problem (we’ll return to this idea later*)

now lets use PEMDAS, which is how I was taught order of operations. it’s an acronym with different operations in the order they should be done in. for this equation, we’ll only need to talk about P, M, and D.

starting with P, for parentheses. this being first means that any operations within a set of parentheses must be done first. in this equation though, the parentheses contain no operations, just a number (2). thus, we can move on.

now to M and D, multiplication and division respectively. while in the term PEMDAS, the M comes first, multiplication and division are actually meant to be done in one combined step (the same is true for addition and subtraction, though that does not come up in this equation). you are meant to do multiplication and division in the order they appear in a math problem. in our equation, the division comes before the multiplication, so first we would divide our 4 by 2. this would leave us with 2(2), which is 4!

*the reason so many people get tripped up on this problem (at least as far as I can tell) is because they assume the lack of multiplication sign means the step where you multiply 2 by 2 should be done during the “parentheses” in PEMDAS. if you did that first, you’d be left with 4 ÷ 4, which equals 1. but, because the operation being done in this step is multiplication, and it’s not being done entirely within the parentheses, it should be done during the multiplication/division step in PEMDAS, which, in this equation, would be after the first operation in the problem. (as a related example, in the equation: 4 x 2/(2), the division would not occur first simply because one number involved is in parentheses, because the operation itself is outside of the parentheses. though the operation symbol is not written out in our original equation, it gets the same treatment.)

I suspect some people also get tripped up because they have forgotten/were never taught that multiplication and division are done during the same step, in the order they appear in the equation.

it is also worth noting that the way this equation is set up is more confusing than necessary. 4 ÷ 2 x 2, 4 ÷ 2*2, & (4 ÷ 2)2 all communicate the same problem in a clearer way. that being said, while the current phrasing of the equation is confusing, there is still a correct answer. and it’s 4! :-) yay math!

just saw an advertisement from a FINANCIAL INSTITUTION where the girl went on abt how she got a credit card and using ✨girl math✨ she figured out she was actually saving money by spending it with her card 😍😍 like this shit is just getting outright misogynistic at this point and im so sick of it. the jokes have gotten far too out of hand when companies are feeling comfortable enough to make advertisements abt how women cant handle money bc its too big and scawey for them 😨😨😨 makes me fucking sick
