25 things that make me smile

I saw this on another blog, and I really just need to write something. I've been composing all sorts of deep articles for the blog, but in fact I will never write them, so getting anything on paper (screen) is better than nothing. These are in no particular order:

1) 6 preschoolers trying to do jumping jacks at gymnastics
2) preschoolers playing duck duck goose (or grayduck, depending on where you grew up)
3) Luke eating strained peas with his fingers
4) Eleanor climbing the door frame
5) waking up because I'm not sleepy anymore, instead of because a child wakes me up
6) Amanda talking to her hands
7) How many dull people does it take to change a lightbulb? One.
8) Singing at church
9) a clean kitchen or a folded basket of laundry
10) When Eleanor or Amanda say something to me that I say to them all the time (
11) Talking on the phone with my friends
....wow, this is getting harder...
12) When Michael gets really excited about something at work
13) Kim Possible
14) Amanda or Eleanor making Luke laugh
15) a warm bath with a good book
16) playing bridge or 500
17) norwegian pancakes
18) chocolate
19) watching the fish
20) sitting in a coffee shop with no place I need to go
21) finishing a quilt or embroidery
22) having Michael tuck me into bed when I'm sick
23) getting over being sick
24) breastfeeding
25) reading a really good book

Why you should study the history of math

  Why you should study the history of math In the mid 1300s a fad made its way around Italy. Mathematicians would challenge each other to “mathematical duels”. They would post problems for their opponents to solve, sometimes along with their solutions in coded poetry. The winners would get support and funding from rich patrons, the losers would descend into obscurity. One such contest, between Fiore and Tartaglia, involved a new method for solving the cubic. In order to win, Tartaglia worked day and night to find Fiore’s method---unfortunately, Fiore did not do the same and only knew his own method and no others. (*Recall that the formula for solutions to quadratic equations of the form use the quadratic formula, Giorlamo Cardano---physician, philosopher, astrologer and mathematician---convinced Tartaglia to share his method and promised never to reveal it. Then Cardano figured out a more general method, and wanted to share it, but was blocked by his promises. Fortunately (for Ca...

Books I like: reality edition

Here are some more books from my childhood and later. I read a lot as a kid, and these books are the ones that stand out in my memory. I figure that if I can remember them 25 years after I read them, they must be pretty good. I'm calling this the "Reality Segment," not fantasy, not science fiction, not history, just real life. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin : This is probably my favorite children's book of all time. I read it in 3rd grade or so, then read it again to clear it up more. Then I read it in 6 th grade and finally understood what was going on during the second reading of the will. In more recent readings I've understood more about Sydelle Paulaski and the relationship between Dr. Denton and the lovely Angela. What a pleasure. Ellen Raskin has written many other good children's books (all quirky and surprising) but this is the jewel. Bruno and Boots books by Gordon Korman : As the FNDP (Friendly Neighborhood Developmental Psychologis...

Books I like: magic/science fiction

I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy when I was younger, so I was surprised when I was thinking about this list at how few books were on it. The other thing that is interesting is how many books I just remember a few details from, but not anything useful like a title or author. Half Magic and the whole series, by Edward Eager: My favorite is Knight's Castle, although I suspect I would have enjoyed it more if I had ever read Ivanhoe... Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald: I'm not sure when it happened, but I now identify with the parents rather than the kids. The Seven Citadels by Geraldine Harris: I came back to the Jr. High library to check this out even after I moved on to the high school. Girl with the Silver Eyes by Wilo Davis Roberts: I always wondered what would happen if I had ESP and other "special" abilities. The OZ books, by L. Frank Baum: I read almost all of these (all the ones I could find in the library, rather). My favorite is Tik - To...
