Abel and Galois (Story #3) had many things in common: both worked on the Quintic equation (of degree 5). Abel first proved there was NO radical solution; Galois, who was 9 years younger, went one step further to explain WHY no solution (with Group theory). Both were young Math genius...
The solution that mathjs uses has two main ingredients: Typed functions. All functions are created usingtyped-function. This makes it easier to (dynamically) create and extend a single function with new data types, automatically do type conversions on function inputs, etc. So, if you create f...
Remember that Python’s approach to monads is more flexible and pragmatic, but Haskell remains the gold standard for enforcing functional purity and type safety. Source: Conversation with Copilot, 6/6/2024(1) 6 Cool Things You Can Do With The Functools Module. https://pybit.es/articles/6...
I love the idea that we don’t have to make our children memorize everything in math. We can give them freedom to make mental connections for themselves. “But on the other hand, we don’t have unlimited time for them to figure things out on their own, do we? What about children ...
2216 - Renamed `params` to `args` and vice versa to make things consistent. 2217 - Renamed `Block.nodes` to `Block.blocks`. 2218 - `FunctionNode` now has a `name: string` instead of a `symbol: SymbolNode`. 2219 - Changed constructor of `RangeNode` to 2220 `new RangeNode(s...
"But in my opinion, all things in nature occur mathematically." - Rene Descartes "Do not imagine that mathematics is hard and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherealization of common sense." - William Thomson ...
19. What 10 things can you always count on? Your fingers. 20. Why is 69 so scared of 70? Because they had a fight and 71. 21. Why was the equal sign so happy? Because it found its match. 22. What’s a math teacher’s favorite type of music?

Moving between two points is handy, but sometimes you don’t have a point to move to, only a point to start from. In cases like this, it can be very useful to create a vector as a means to move your object. A vector is a quantity in physics that has both magnitude and direction...
