Adults when I was a kid: Don't learn about science on the internet: it could be unreliable!
Those same adults now: Get all their science information from newspapers, written exclusively by non-scientists and edited exclusively by non-scientists.
Me now: Get science information from actual scientists blogging about their area of research, and from ArXiv if it's in my area.

'Dyscalculia affects a person’s ability to work with numbers and do math. [Jay] Hatcher, a software engineer for HDI, is developing an app called Ucalculia, which aims to provide a resource for people with dyscalculia that will help them make sense of numbers and equations. '

Genuary 2025 Day 15: "DesignARug"
I thought I should give this a try and see if I can come up with a rug-design that I would actually like to have in my room.
Of course it should change every now and then and move and be alive... ;-)
So light transporting yarn and some LED undercoat maybe?

What a wonderful video on how computers multiply very large numbers together.
"Black on black"
It took me a while to come up with a different meaning for the prompt. I find it interesting how any ideas I came up with someone else had already done.
So in the end, I recycled this sketch and dressed the main characters for the occasion 🙂

The code is a bit longer than planned because I added noise to the gradient so the video looks less terrible.

I need to be clear that my #math skills are embarrassingly limited and something I've always struggled with as an #ADD and dyslexic person. Going through school, subject after subject was presented as, "Now memorize this because you have to." Which was not very compelling without the context of what it can really be used for. I tried, I got high marks, but I wasn't included in the better classes with better teachers which created a cycle of disinterest.
As I read, "Dark hero of the information age : in search of Norbert Wiener, the father of cybernetics" which tells the stories of how mathematics, biology, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computing were brought together to holistically in the 1940s to examine problems that span subject matter, it makes me want to go back and restart my mathematics journey looking at the contextual challenges those solutions were applied …

I think I could probably overcome many of my limitations by taking a different learning route.
Does anyone have other interesting books on mathematicians or resources that can build up math skills with independent study? Are there corners of the #fediverse that I can look at? I would appreciate recommendations.
I don't ever expect to be very good, but I would like to challenge myself to be more mathematically capable if I take the time to learn more behind the equations themselves.
