Okay so during Anext people kept talking about book recs so I thought it would be convenient to make a post so people could reblog with their recommendations and give each other a fun summer reading list ^o^

full list below the cut

The Debt to Pleasure - John Lanchester, Very physiological, a slow read at the beginning but picks up steam and has a great twist ending. Also wonderful writing about food.

Women of the Otherworld (series there are like 20 of these books) - Kelly Armstrong, great urban fantasy world to explore, tons of great characters.

City of Bones - Cassandra Clair, Fun teen urban fantasy set in New York, creative mythology and unexpected twists in every book.

Pattern Recognition - William Gibson, Ok, this book is hard to describe it is kind of a slow book about this woman design consultant doing a job in London who is asked to find a mysterious artist. Poetic prose and wonderful atmosphere.

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Claire, same reality as City of Bones but set Victorian London.

The Awakening - Kelly Armstrong, teenage necromancer. Need I say more?

White Cat - Holly Black, supernatural gangsters in New Jersey. Fantastic magic mechanics.

Neuromancer - William Gibsom, classic cyber punk, absolute MUST READ.

I may add a few more later but this is a good start I think ^u^

my entire math life

This is basically the problem with the entire modern educational system.

Time to do unpopular opinion? Time to do unpopular opinion.

Balancing a checkbook is applied addition and subtraction, stuff of the third grade. Okay, yeah, it is a failure of the modern educational system if he hasn’t learned it by now.

Imaginary numbers interact with real numbers (1, 2, π, 1.5, etc) for complex numbers, and are useful if you want to get into engineering or science — you know, high paying jobs.

Remember Tomb Raider? How they make her turn? Quaternions, which use THREE sets of imaginary numbers.

Like how your cell phone gets reception? That requires resonance, the understanding of which can be aided by complex numbers.

And don’t even get me started in the more exotic physics like fluid dynamics or quantum mechanics. That is, the forefront of how planes fly and how computer chips work.

There’s this term, innumeracy, that is to math what illiteracy is to english. One thing that bugs me is when ignorance is paraded about, when one acts as if math is an optional knowledge. Doubly so when it’s the very thing holding them back.

The failure is not in teaching these things, but the lack of teaching about why we should care about these things.

Thank you maths side of tumblr

The failure is not in teaching these things, but the lack of teaching about why we should care about these things.

Come to think of it, that’s applicable to how a lot of subjects are taught.

But I’m afraid maths gets the worst of it, really. I mean, how often have you heard people complaining about history? Social sciences? Even chemistry, which is more specialised than maths? No, maths gets the worst of it by far, and everyone demonises it because no one ever tells them that maths is a language, and a quite difficult one at that, because it’s the language of the Universe (of god, if you will).

Not only that, but it’s also the only language that’s truly universal (we’re certain aliens will arrive at the same maths we have) and that can truly explain everything that’s in principle conceivable. Human language can describe the stuff we see, and some extrapolations we imagine; maths can describe everything that is, was, will be, has never been, and could ever be.

Everything is maths.

This is already excellently explained and defended, so please forgive me for reblogging and adding a veritable novel to it.

This is precisely what nobody ever even tried to make me understand as a kid, and what I try so desperately to make people understand as an adult.

When the above say that math is a language, they are being more or less literal.

The reason that mathematics is so confusing to so many people is pretty much just because it was never properly explained to them.

Math is a language heavily reliant on the symbolic representation of pre-existing concepts. As a language, it is dedicated to the pursuit of absolute grammatical consistency and the simplification of its sentence structures without any accompanying sacrifice of meaning.

So, actually, math is infinitely easier than English.

I’ll get to why below.

melanisticstag’s 200 follower giveaway or “we need more people in schoolgirl uniforms” giveaway!!!

So I just reached 200 followers and thought it would be great to have a giveaway. Not just any giveaway though, one where I give away a cute seifuku from bodyline and some accessories of your choice under $10.

the rules:

1. You can reblog and like as much as you want just be wary of your followers

2. No giveaway blogs and I will be checking

3. I will ship anywhere

4. I would prefer if you would choose ONE of the following, either this one, this one or this one. If you win and do not want any of those we can talk about which item you want from bodyline.

You may choose from any accessories from bodyline that total to $10. So if you want a seven dollar choker and 3 pairs of one dollar eyelashes then go ahead!

Also if you follow me then I’ll include some accessories, nail polish or books in the package.

I’ll be picking the winner by random number generator on June 30th.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.
