Proof calculus? That sounds like Beautiful Mind stuff there.
Creative math, thats up my alley!!!

Creative math, thats up my alley!!!
Speaking about the Battle of Waterloo, and I was (history day on RTT), someone in Prussia got this campaign medal for the battle. Not sure where it came from to end up in my hands, family hand-me-down or something my dad picked up in Germany in 1945. Thinking the later. But cool. Should post the flip side for the German language geeks here to translate or maybe I did that already? Old, cannot remember.
* Note, carefully covered up my life lines so I don't get some damn gypsy palm reader here telling me I am going to die soon.
Lunch time........you going to show us what you got for lunch for just the co-workers. Or is that a metaphor for something else? If so, no show then.

I learned last week that the science center hosts a pre school. They get to wear lab coats.....
I didn't look up costs, but I bet that would be some great STEM oriented learning.

Yeah, that was my 36 ACT kid. He was smarter than me by about third grade.
Life would have been easier with modern graphing calculators. Boxster and KC are probably the only ones around here that can relate to using algorithm tables. My kids gave me a WTH look when I showed them my old slide rule.
Your life lines say you're already ded.
My high school physics teacher used a slide rule. It was scary how fast he was with that thing.
If further translation is necessary, it's right after 1814 and right before 1816.
These are the conversions where I remember I'm the slow witted one in here. Only way my ACT was having a 3 was it being 23
That's where I hit my limit as well, but I was a Computer Engineer so I didn't actually need to know any of that stuff.

This is now your Internet. The rest of us are just living in it.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You translated the German, even before KC and Chaser got to it.
Thanks, but I notice my spelling blows also Meant to say conversations, not conversions. Must have been in math mode.
Also, our dishwasher got repaired tuesday. After 6 weeks of washing dishes by hand, no more needed. Yeah!!! Now kick to the groin, our washing machine stopped working. They will be here on the first. Well..........guess we are going to moms house to wash clothes.
Is one of them t_noah?
Years ago for ChristmasI gave my father (Aero E) a slide rule in a glass-fronted shadow box with a small hammer hanging off it. It said "Break glass in the event of a power failure."
You've all seen how the movies depict the men in the early days of the space program - BCG's, white shirts, thin dark ties, dark slacks, pocket protectors with slide rules & pens tucked in them?
It's true. ALL of it...
My ex was a microbiologist. Back in the mid seventies we spent way more than we could afford on a TI Scientific Calculator for him (that had to be plugged in). It was somewhere around $200, and it was "amazing".
It had about as much calculating capacityas a programmable VCR...
Yesterday the oldest was having a snap chat conversation with. Classmate (boy). She had snapped him a pic of her schedule which included honors science but just "regular" 9th grade math (Algebra). He said something along the lines of, "You are good at everything except math". I think she would have liked to have shown him how good she was at clocking boys. 
She could have taken Algebra last year, like I said she chose not to. She takes after me. And the only college math class I took was Stat 101.
If anything, our school goes overboard on study halls. Freshmen are somewhat limited to what they can take because of prerequisites for certain classes. So she starts the day with a study hall/extended learning program depending on if it is a red or black day, then they have a 25min "success center" every day where thy can reach out to individual teachers with questions, and then she has another study hall 8th period opposite PE depending on whether it is a red or black day. All that extra time is the only reason we did both school volleyball and club softball this fall. Lots of people say there is hardly any homework your freshman year.

I took upper level math courses for fun. When I hit imaginary numbers it ceased to be fun. My practical brain said that you cannot multiply a number by itself and get a negative...ergo you cannot calculate the square root of a negative number. Numbers have to make sense to me, and that NEVER did.
