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 Cardan

Southern butter mints---vegan edition

After the last post, we started to be able to see what the fuss was about.  The ones made with twice the butter were the best candy I have ever tasted.  Ever.  So then we started experimenting.  How long do you pull it?  Longer than you think.  And then pull a minute or two after that.  Suddenly every single batch was creaming, pretty much right after we would cut them. I tried adding less than double butter and I think they taste much better (more delicate, according to one taste tester). The latest experiment we did involved using Earth Balance instead of butter.  It cooked pretty much the same as usual, although I was distracted right at the moment I had to pull it off the stove so it cooked maybe a bit longer than usual.  Amanda and I each pulled a quarter, while Luke pulled the bigger half.  Luke's really wasn't turning very fast---perhaps because it was too hot when he took it off the marble.  Mine was turning faster than Amanda's so we traded for a while.  Aman

Southern Butter Mints part 1

Some friends of ours have a granddaughter getting married (and she's a friend of ours as well) and so I agreed to help out with the shower.  Apparently this is to be a "southern" shower, full of tradition and elegance, but not too far over the top. Among things that are needed for a shower are punch with great grandma's punch bowl, sandwiches with cream cheese and green pepper jelly, and southern pulled butter mints.  "Ah, nobody can make those anymore.  We used to know someone, but the tradition needs to be passed down."  Like a fool, I said that I'd be happy to give it a try.  I suffer greatly from "I got a PhD in math, how hard could X be?" where X is something like gardening, or quilting, or cleaning, etc.  It's always harder than I think it will be. "We'll call Mrs. X who makes these, maybe she'll pass down the method.  I hope you don't hate me!"  I was actually planning on doing research online, watching a fe
