Updated: 2012-03-23 03:26:33Inspired by a post at College Confidential.An interesting SAT math triangle problem
Updated: 2012-03-23 02:18:07This is my first foray into making videos on solving interesting SAT problems. I saw an SAT math problem at College Confidential which essentially says this: "A triangle has two sides of length 6 and 7. Which of the following could the area of the triangle possibly be?" And then it gives three choices and [...]Pythagasaurus

About "A Mathematician Comes of Age:" A Mathematician Comes of Age discusses the maturation process for a mathematics student. It describes and analyzes how a student develops from a neophyte who can manipulate simple arithmetic problems to a sophisticated thinker who can understand abstract concepts, can think rigorously, and can analyze and manipulate proofs. Most [...]Numberphile channel on Youtube
Updated: 2012-03-14 16:56:52I just learned about this new Youtube channel. Numberphile provides viewers a new perspective when it comes to numbers. From Googols and Googolplexs to Root2, this channel offers anyone the “Perfect Number”. Currently, they have a video on the sounds of Pi, here is the link to check it out – http://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile/featured Here's a nice [...]Pi Day Music Video
Updated: 2012-03-14 14:11:35Another fan letter, this one from Jimmy Pascascio of Music Notes Online. As regular readers know I rarely plug commercial math ventures. I'm making an exception here because I like what these folks are doing. And, it's a great fit for a Pi Day post. Enjoy! Hello Sol, I came across your blog and noticed [...]A bug in Mathematica’s CUDADot in version 8.0.1

However, I instantly hit a problem on my 64bit Windows 7 machine running version 8.0.1 of Mathematica. In[1]:= a = RandomReal[1, {2, 2}] Out[1]= {{0.363441, 0.528656}, {0.208881, 0.510232}} In[2]:= b = RandomReal[1, {2, 2}] Out[2]= {{0.33536, 0.77615}, [...]John MacCormick – Inspired by Math #5
