Maths links

And now I start remathsifying I can't stop myself...

• Theorem of the day 2009 Calendar My supervisor had one of these on her wall(*) and it was pretty cool. Added bonus: is feminist!
  
• Pop Quiz Math Clock
  
• Equation bookshelf Oh My God I Want One.
  

Last two links via sassamifrass.

(*)And they have a special theorem just for her birthday. She has a lot of maths cred :)

Bookshelf: so very pretty.
Clock: -6 o'clock is a perfectly reasonable time. Curse their 7:00 ambiguity.

'Twould have been lovely if they had used the equation^* x² = 36. No need to throw away a root, and no ambiguity.


* Although, please, all equations or all values. Because the back and forth slippageness makes me unhappy.

Absolutely! Also did you notice the 9 o'clock thing sanguinity points out? Blegh. I should vet my links more thoroughly.

You engineers get your grimy sloppy hands off my math!

Bookshelf: yes, so very pretty! And I may actually end up doing something other than throwing my stuff haphazardly up there, which would be phenomenal.

The clock, unfortunately, gives me nails-on-blackboardness. And I'd be so close to loving it, otherwise. :-( But that thing where some representations are values and some are equations? All equations or all values, please, but not this squirrelly shifting back and forth as if the two are the same thing. It makes me uneasy and distrustful and vertiginous. Please stop.

But what makes me tic every time I look at it: their representation for "nine." Is. Not. Nine. Frackin' goddamn sloppy engineers.

Oh god, I didn't notice the 9. That's terrible.

Whilst I did notice 9, it was so abhorrent that I immediately blocked it out.
Whilst I fell obliged to defend my profession, the best arguments I could come up with are roughly equivalent to "some engineers are also mathematicians".

Same :)
