Math is Neat
I really enjoyed the Ampere museum. At first, I thought it was really boring since I don't really know about physics or am interested in it too much. That said, in the second room of the tour Kelsey and I stumbled across some math that we are really familiar with! We thought it was exciting to see stuff that we have learned in our math classes and see how it has been applied to the sciences. So then the tour became a math scavenger hunt for me; I found things like the Laplace transform, second derivatives, geometry and geometry proofs, and the Poisson method! It was pretty neat!

I also enjoyed that I could recognize and understand a decent amount of the math I saw and how happy it made people when they saw something they understood, had made, or enjoyed studying and their faces lit up!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Seeing math that we know and use today written in such a historical context was a neat experience.
ReplyDeleteYay math! I to was really excited when I saw math I reckonized

ReplyDeleteI thought it was great to see just what mathematics is capable of. All the equations we saw led to more and more developments. Math rules the world :)
