Fun with Grapher

July31

If you are on an Apple device, look for the app called Grapher under the Applications–>Utilities folder. Choose 3D and type in anything that you think will make an interesting graph. You can use the ^ key to make powers. You can also animate your graph to see its shape change. Very cool and very mathematical! […]

Mac Mouse Magic for Mathematical Memories

May30

A few of us met the Macintosh when it was launched in 1984, and I can still remember a sample being on trial at my first school. Sitting apologetically in the corner of the main staffroom, it was a rather odd looking, all-in-one computer with a strange device attached called a “mouse”. Perhaps that is […]

Cool Graphing Software – for free!

March2

Here are two great (and FREE) graphing software packages. Every maths student should have access to one of these (depending on the OS they are using); 1. Microsoft Mathematics for Win 7. Download here. 2. Grapher for Mac – go to Applications–>Utilities–>Grapher;   Both programs allow 2D and 3D graphing, etc. Enjoy! PS: for iPad […]

Yes, Lombard St follows a Sine Curve

February13

So, wise mathematician, let’s connect our view of Lombard St with a Sine Curve. We can do this using (on Mac computers, etc.) a free application called Grapher (go to applications–>utilities–>Grapher) or check out the apps for iPhone and iPad here, or use one of the free online graphing tools. Anyway, when we combine the sine […]

Largest number between o and 1 million which does not contain the ‘n’ is 88

Which number has its letters in alphabetical order? Answer: F O R T Y

Hidden Rabbit? Clue: check the trees

How long for the stadium to fill? 45 minutes.

Where are you? the North Pole

Prize Object Puzzle: If Sue does not know where the prize is in the first question, it can’t be under the square. She must have been told it is under another shape. Apply this same logic to Colin. It is then obvious that the prize cannot be under a yellow object. That helps Sue eliminate her yellow shapes. Got the idea?

Algebra Puzzle: Answer = 1

Number of tabs? According to Lifehacker, the ideal number of tabs you should have open is nine. Yes, a single digit. To some, this is like playing a piano and only using a fraction of the notes!

Worst Graph? Where to start. What a visual mess and even some of the lines merge and are impossible to follow. A graph is a visual display of data, with the goal to identify trends or patterns. This is a spider’s web of information which fails to show a clear pattern at all. Solution? Well, different colors would help, or why not group in two or three graphs where trends are similar?

Number of different nets to make a cube is eleven – see this link

Homework Puzzle; The total value of the counters is 486, so halve this to get 243. Now, arrange the counters to equal this amount twice.

The graph on the left (Coronavirus) is for a time period of 30 days, while the one on the right (SARS) is for 8 months! Very poor graphical comparison and hardly relevant, unless it is attempting to downplay the seriousness of the coronavirus?

10 x 9 x 8 + (7 + 6) x 5 x 4 x (3 + 2) x 1 = 2020

NCEA Level 2 Algebra Problem. Using the information given, the shaded area = 9, that is:
y(y-8) = 9 –> y.y – 8y – 9 =0
–> (y-9)(y+1) = 0, therefore y = 9 (can’t have a distance of – 1 for the other solution for y)
Using the top and bottom of the rectangle,
x = (y-8)(y+2) = (9-8)(9+2) = 11
but, the left side = (x-4) = 11-4 = 7, but rhs = y+? = 9+?, which is greater than the value of the opp. side??
[I think that the left had side was a mistake and should have read (x+4)?]
