My Math Blog
Welcome to my blog. My plan is to write about math topics that interest me and, hopefully, interest you as well.
It will probably take a few weeks to develop each topic. The process is a bit like creating an app. Every few days you add a new feature but most days you just polish the existing features. So make sure you come back often to see what's new.
If you would like to leave a comment, ask a question, or suggest a new topic, please send me an email.
Here is the topic I'm working on right now:
Scalar and Vector Fields
Scalar and vector fields, including models to explain the meaning of Green's, Gauss', and Stokes' Theorems.

... and here are all the topics so far, arranged, more or less,
from easiest to hardest:
The Travelling Salesman Problem
In what order should you visit 20 cities to minimize the distance travelled?
|
Finding Areas Using the Monte Carlo Method
How do you find the area of an odd shape?
|
The Inside or Outside Problem
How can you program a computer to tell if a point is inside an object or not?
|
The Pinball Machine and Pascal's Triangle
How many paths take the pinball to the second cup?
|
The Roller Coaster and the Brachistochrone Problem
How should you design a roller coaster to give the fastest ride?

Scalar and Vector Fields
Scalar and vector fields, including models to explain the meaning of Green's, Gauss', and Stokes' Theorems.
