Things that make you go “hum….” (in math)
Taking part in a weekly math and science get-together with local teachers. Currently, we are in the midst of 6 weeks of math led by a professor from Uof M Flint. Very interesting ways to teach math to elementary students. He shares what the roots of math are.
Do you know what the line is called that is between the numerator and the denominator? vinculum.
Do you really know what acute and obtuse mean?
acute: means to be sharp or pointed.
obtuse: ob means against or toward. tuse means beat. So obtuse means to beat against. To make it dull, so an angle between 90 and 180 degrees is pretty dull.
Anyhow, just thought you may find that interesting.
