Ah, I love escaping from the East Coast summer -- on week 2 in Seattle;
I've been liking the weather here more than in Vancouver. Ah, 70s
weather. Perfection.
So perhaps you may be wondering what the hell I'm doing in Seattle. I
would think that most of the people (aka Stubaby) reading these entries
would know what I'm up to. Anyway, I'm doing mathcamp (see
www.mathcamp.org if you want to see the official poop. I'm too pooped to
provide that kind of info.)
Anyway, I just want to mention some topics I've seen/done here at mathcamp
to remind me about stuff...
Jeremy Martin -- Generating functions, combinatorics, and making change.
Various -- p-adic metric space, p-adic numbers -- =weird= topology. Sets
P0, P1, P2 -- use to prove things about tiling with triangles...
Mira -- projective geometry, elliptic curves
Sveto -- Egyptian fraction problems
Noah -- light traveling in circles
Spike -- Ethnomathematics, African fractals, story diagrams, world views
Canoeing, restaurant, swing -- vampires? mao. blergh.
projects -- poker & craps, neurons, algorithmic composition of music
I love my baby. =sigh= I am so damn tired.
oh yeah, Jamba Juice
