Notice that this last answer above does not match the answer to the previous evaluation. This directly demonstrates the fact that exponents do not distribute over addition in the way that multiplication does.You should expect at least exercise similar to the previous two on the next test, and ...
The Jordan canonical form does not depend continuously on the matrix. For both quotes I did not remember the underlying reasons and since I do teach an introductory class on linear algebra this year, I got thinking about these issues again. Here is a very simple example for the fact in the...
On the other hand, UEFA uses a slightly different10-year club rankingasone of the criteria in order to distribute the money prizes among the different clubs. To compute that 10-year club ranking UEFA collects the yearly scoring of clubs in the last 10 years, and to that sum it adds anoth...
Algebra can be a challenging subject for many students, requiring a solid understanding of variables, equations, and functions. It involves solving problems through logical reasoning and applying mathematical rules, which can sometimes be difficult t…Full commentReply ...

Just discovered Skeptoid, Googling "scalar weapons" after that term distracted me from my refresher course in physics/algebra basics. Intrigued, read the rhino horn piece. Glad you're out there.John Lake, Staten Island Thank you so much for making this podcast! For ages I've been thinking ...
In emergent properties, what is meant by 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts'? How do you complete the following calculation representing the answer in scientific notation and with the correct number of significant figures: 1500 ...
I teach Algebra I to 10th graders. This happened recently. I put this problem on the board to illustrate the concept of distribution: 3(x + 1/4)(distribute the 3) I then wrote the following: 3x + 3/4 I immediately heard a chorus of “Where did the 3/4 come from?” So off to...
And if you don’t have kids, and there’s this mass of kids (and I mean anyone younger than you, out there) engage. Talk to them. I don’t know, distribute books. (I am the book fairy.) Or start a you tube channel teaching your specialty. If you do interesting stuff: building...
I wish there was an easy to understand story about what would happen to make households and firms decide to spend more, that’s about tangible behaviour and does not involve manipulating algebra, that would make me go “ah, now I see how it’d work”. The BoE tries to do it – i....
