Pero hay muy poquita información sobre los papás tras estos niños.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Se nos tacha de papás sobreprotectores, de que nosotros somos los que “enseñamos de más a los niños”, que les estamos haciendo un daño, bueno, muchísimas cosas por el estilo y poca información sobre la cual apoyarnos para ver si estamos yendo por buen camino.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Inspirada en el último post del blog &lt;a title=&quot;http://giftedparentingsupport.blogspot.mx/&quot; href=&quot;http://giftedparentingsupport.blogspot.mx/&quot;&gt;http://giftedparentingsupport.blogspot.mx/&lt;/a&gt; me di a la tarea de buscar y recopilar otros blogs de papás y me da gusto decir que aunque pocos encontre algunos muy interesantes…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Si quieren conocer en realidad cómo es vivir con estos niños los invito a visitar:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;24 HORAS, 2 PAPÁS y 3 NIÑOS DE ALTA CAPACIDAD&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cuando pensamos en superdotados nos recuerdan a los niños que salen en shows de t.v haciendo cosas increíbles, pero si platicaramos con sus padres seguramente habría muchas cosas que no nos gustaría escuchar. Te presento la verdad sobre la crianza y el día a día con este tipo de niños. Este blog es para la orientación, identificación y comprensión de los niños superdotados, o como yo les llamo &quot;hiperactivos mentales&quot; &lt;a title=&quot;http://altacapacidadinfantil.blogspot.mx/&quot; href=&quot;http://altacapacidadinfantil.blogspot.mx/&quot;&gt;http://altacapacidadinfantil.blogspot.mx/&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p&gt;y  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://viviendoconsuperdotados.blogspot.com.es/&quot;&gt;Viviendo con superdotados&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Un día empecé a compartir mi día a día con dos niños considerados superdotados, para mi diría &quot;hipersensibles&quot; y pensé que lo mejor sería utilizar un seudónimo para preservar la intimidad de mis hijos y de las personas de las que hablo.&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Decidí llamarme Pauline Einstein porque me dio por pensar cómo sería la vida de esta mujer al educar a su hijo, si sería diferente ¿cómo pensaría? ¿cómo lo educaría? y porque pienso que la mayoría de la gente al hablar de superdotados se acuerdan de Einstein entre otros, pero a partir de ahora seré yo misma: Estelita &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://viviendoconsuperdotados.blogspot.com.es&quot; href=&quot;http://viviendoconsuperdotados.blogspot.com.es&quot;&gt;http://viviendoconsuperdotados.blogspot.com.es&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Me da gusto verlos y se los comparto con la misma emoción.  &lt;p&gt;Trataré de mantener más en forma este blog también para que puedan ver otro punto de vista y si conocen más blogs de papás para papás de superdotados por favor no duden en compartirlos &lt;img class=&quot;wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile&quot; style=&quot;border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvMtZSPfT1xThq60RUf714k6HSH4dlqGiWTcGj3uaV9jsab_sJ9zmM7SggCqONNYlTrShtZt1yc_3uTsNL6RN3uCUjJ6uq4u1hfuRrrgK5CBB-wr7sZiLJqozvGRlzy4Vmu7ENEJqApw/?imgmax=800&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;Saludos,  &lt;p&gt;Eva&lt;/p&gt;  </description><link>http://sobresalientesmx.blogspot.com/2013/03/papas-de-superdotados.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvMtZSPfT1xThq60RUf714k6HSH4dlqGiWTcGj3uaV9jsab_sJ9zmM7SggCqONNYlTrShtZt1yc_3uTsNL6RN3uCUjJ6uq4u1hfuRrrgK5CBB-wr7sZiLJqozvGRlzy4Vmu7ENEJqApw/s72-c?imgmax=800" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962890185202644317.post-8125596434936788614</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-11-20T11:28:36.846-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">M2C2A</category><title>M2C2A: Episode 19: Definition of factorial (but about the things most people don&amp;#39;t know), an adventure ranging from elementary calculations, to calculus itself.</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;For this adventure, I will have a friend:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-So now you&#39;re involving me?&lt;/span&gt;Yes, I am.&lt;br /&gt;Now, to start: &quot;What is a factorial?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-A factorial? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s easy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;When you say x! (x factorial), you mean the multiplication of all integers bigger than 1 up to itself.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;For example, 4! is equal to 2x3x4, or 24, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;7! is equal to 2x3x4x5x6x7, or 5040, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;and 15!=2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10x11x12x13x14x15, or 1,307,674,368,000.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Whoa, factorials grow fast.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Yes, factorials do grow pretty fast. Here&#39;s a list of the factorials of some small integers:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;0!=1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;1!=1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;2!=2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;3!=6&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;4!=24&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;5!=120&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;6!=720&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;7!=5040&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;8!=40320&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;9!=362880&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;10!=3628800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But why 0! is equal to 1?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;A property about integer factorials is that (x-1)!=x!/x.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;So if we make x equal to 1, 0!=1!/1, or simply 1.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But what about -1!, or -2!, or...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;If x=0, we eventually get that -1! is 1/0.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-1/0? That&#39;s a problem.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Next, if x=-1, we get that -2!=-1/(1/0), but...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-That is equal to -1/1 * 0/1, or... 0!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;That should be right, but calculators will give the answers for all of these values as &quot;INFINITY&quot; or &quot;NEGATED VALUE&quot;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But we can still try to get our own values, can we?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Actually, that&#39;s what M2C2A is all about. And using this formula, -3! should be 1/0, and -4! should be 0...&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But what about 1.5!, or 7.345!?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Luckily, I don&#39;t have to figure that out, because for positive integers, there is a formula for factorials. For positive numbers, it is:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ∞&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;(z-1)!= ∫&amp;nbsp; t&lt;sup&gt;z-1 &lt;/sup&gt;e&lt;sup&gt;-t &lt;/sup&gt;dt&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-WHAT THE...?!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t worry, we&#39;ll examine the formula one by one part.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But wait, why (z-1)! and not z!?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;(z-1)! is the same as Γ(z), pronounced as &quot;the gamma function of z&quot;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;- Next, what is that thing that looks like a &quot;s&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;It is an integral. It is used mainly in calculus&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-&lt;strong&gt;WAIT? ARE WE GOING INTO CALCULUS RIGHT NOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Yes. We&#39;re going into calculus right now.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Aww...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t worry, it isn&#39;t as bad as you think.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Yeah you say so...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;I really don&#39;t think it&#39;s going to WHOA-RK!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Where are we now?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;A world, a very strange world, could be seen. It was a line.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;We&#39;re in the graph of 2x=y &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFZU5k_cfkwCgrOGpNYYdqt3WBz31STGfmts-0Sc4Gh3LCPWuypc5NOdVn_zp4JeVcPYDlAhY3O9RDPAWfe4FkXvUnb12iVS91IiMOqGSfPr-MR6E6RMSfo8nF1Sg_yVIpUfza9V5SQ/s1600-h/2x%25253Dy%25255B2%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;2x=y&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF5_SBvNbUp-wVk_pEgkRNbyX2GkF1_YMiRf5j4NZeeJ_1lJeF4QNbSKbm2IMsCQlEb1W7djo2rOvwvOpJO_82OPJFFS2nnNnbY1uaxjrWGRMiER_ZgfdSLzJBHGnzJTN1SkZ7UU865Q/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;2x=y&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;. And we&#39;re going to get the integral of this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;First, to write &quot;the integral of 2x=y&quot;, we&#39;re going to use only &quot;2x&quot;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-BUT WHAT THE WHAT, WHERE, OR WHO IS AN INTEGRAL?!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;It is only the calculation of the area between the line of a graph and the x-axis.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Please speak English.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;What I said only means this! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg17IWC_yVipquEbHEKEiEvWthbsOvG2aKUN25dRDPA-NX1GOagNdpUSW41YeoV3nUmPJ-RSzSXRzLvOYHRtkH2nAl7io5zE8f6z6HYT2S1slLuQHJsoowTqcO6iqkWDY5EVFN3DskaVw/s1600-h/The%252520integral%252520time%252521%25255B2%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The integral time!&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKNHXzi6G3Y60ItuWpAxcUYzbWtMcy1YTvhi_U0Fhlm2E5OVtMkktLbnsnqPpmS7jHKPHocbVbJAH3UFTks7Czp-Q3hzxWBgPLZdYL7MsrU3M09ARI99vPi-Vs0iB7RY8AZiWj5P5MPQ/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;The integral time!&quot; width=&quot;209&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Suddenly, the graph started shaking, and from nothing, something blue appeared, between the bottom line, and the previous line.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;The line at the bottom just turned out to be the x-axis. And we need to calculate the area that is below the blue line.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But what is our range?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Here, x will go from &lt;b&gt;0&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;b&gt;1&lt;/b&gt;, and we need to get the area of the triangle below &lt;b&gt;2x&lt;/b&gt;=y, or simply, &lt;b&gt;2x&lt;/b&gt;, so we can write this as:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;∫ 2x dx&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;The 0 and the 1 specify the range, 2x represents the equation for which we will find the area, and dx only specifies the variable (after the d), x.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;So, using the formula for the area of a triangle, because the width is 1, and the height is 2, the integral equals...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-1!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Correct, it equals 1. But that would actually be cheating, for how do we get the integral for something more complicated. For example:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;∫ 4x^3 dx&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Hey! It is impossible to define that! The equation isn&#39;t a geometrical shape!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s right...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;But incorrect.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;A whistle was heard. Suddenly, a seemingly never-ending stampede of something could be heard at a distance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;That something was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Paper strips?!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Each paper strip accommodated itself in the graph. They had base 0.25 and height that would accommodate to the graph&#39;s height. But many of the graph&#39;s space wasn&#39;t filled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-We can&#39;t use you to calculate the area, or can we?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;We can! Make the base smaller!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Suddenly, the paper strips started to shrink their base to 0.10. But that wasn&#39;t enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-Shrink even more!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Wait. Couldn&#39;t we make the base 0 so everything could fit perfectly?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-No. Or else the area of the strips will disappear!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Exactly! You are beginning to understand infinitesimal calculus!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s make the area x:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt; lim&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;x-&amp;gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-And I thought I had it! What the heck is that?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t worry. That only means that x is &lt;b&gt;ALMOST &lt;/b&gt;0, but not exactly.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;That is:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;THE BASE OF THE STRIPS IS INFINITESIMALLY SMALL&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But, what is the total area?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;The total area is equal to:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;1/z&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt; Σ 2kz^2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;k=1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But what is z?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;The variable &quot;z&quot; is the base of the strips.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-And what does the formula mean?!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;Σ means that we will be doing a summation, that is, make the variable specified on the lower range, k, be 1, calculate, be 2, calculate, add the previous result... The range of k will be from 1 to 1/z. That is because if the base of the strips is z and we need the value of all the strips bases together to be 1, then the number of strips is 1/z. For example, if our bases measure 0.0625, then the number of strips is 16.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-I get it. But why kz^2?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;If the base is z, so the strips adjust to the formula the most possible, their height must be kz, and their area, kz*z=kz^2.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-But what do we do with the values?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;First, let z be 0.5 just for this example. Now, the upper range is 2. If you calculate 2kz^2, which is...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;-0.5!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;...and then let k equal 2, calculate kz^2, and add it to your previous result, you get:&lt;/span&gt;-1.5!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Now, if you make z equal 0.25, you will eventually get:...-1.25!Now, let&#39;s try for z, 1/50. The answer is:....................-1.02!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;And when z=1/9874564?&lt;br /&gt;...................................................................&lt;/span&gt;-AGRH!!! THERE MUST BE AN EASIER WAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Answer: There is!&lt;br /&gt;Any series that starts in 1 and involves addition (for example, 1+2+3... +99+100) can be expressed as the following formula (x is the last number):&lt;br /&gt; x&lt;br /&gt; Σ k= (x+x^2)/2&lt;br /&gt;k=1&lt;br /&gt;So 1+2+3+4+5=(5+25)/2, or 15, 1+2+3+4+5...+99+100=(100+10000)/2=5050 and 1+2+3+4+5...+9876543209+9876543210=(9876543210+97546105778997104100)/2=48773052894436823655. So...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;1/z&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt; Σ 2kz^2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;k=1&lt;br /&gt;...is just equal to...&lt;/span&gt;-WAIT! THIS ONLY APPLIES WHEN YOU ADD CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Yes, but we can use a property of summations:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; b&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; b&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; b&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Σ cd=c&amp;nbsp; Σ d = d&amp;nbsp; Σ c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ∞&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

He encontrado que las definiciones de &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;niños sobresalientes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, son tan diversas y tan diferentes, como los mismos niños, por lo que es difícil entender si estamos todos hablando el mismo idioma y tenemos la misma idea de lo que estamos o queremos apoyar.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Por ejemplo, en México, de acuerdo con la Secretaría de Educación, la definición de niños con &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aptitudes Sobresalientes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; es:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.educacionespecial.sep.gob.mx/pdf/tabinicio/2012/guia_para_familias.pdf&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://www.educacionespecial.sep.gob.mx/img/portadas/as/guia_fams.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;“Los niños con aptitudes sobresalientes son aquellos capaces de destacar significativamente del grupo social y educativo al que pertenecen, en uno o más de los campos del quehacer humano: científico-tecnológico, humanístico-social, artístico y/o de acción motriz, pero al presentar necesidades específicas requieren de un contexto facilitador que les permita desarrollar sus capacidades personales y satisfacer sus necesidades e intereses para su propio beneficio y el de la sociedad.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Guía para familias. SEP.Programa de Fortalecimiento para la Educación Especial. Pag. 15)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Otra definición sería la de la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nagc.org/WhatisGiftedness.aspx&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Asociación Nacional para Niños Superdotados&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; (Estados Unidos), (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.examiner.com/review/dr-james-r-delisle-rebukes-nagc-s-new-definition-of-giftedness&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;la cual ha recibido un sin número de quejas…&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Los individuos superdotados son aquellos que demuestran niveles superiores de aptitud&lt;/strong&gt; (definida como una habilidad excepcional para razonar y aprender&lt;strong&gt;) o competencia (&lt;/strong&gt;desempeño documentado o logros superiores al 10% o poco fáciles de lograr&lt;strong&gt;) en uno o más dominios. Estos dominios incluyen cualquier area estructurada de actividad con sus propios sistemas de símbolos (&lt;/strong&gt;por ejemplo, matemáticas, música, lenguaje&lt;strong&gt;) y/o un conjunto de habilidades sensorimotoras (&lt;/strong&gt;por ejemplo, pintura, danza, deportes&lt;strong&gt;).”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No se ustedes, pero a mí estas definiciones terminan por parecerme ostentosas y la causa de muchas fricciones en la sociedad. Además fragmentan la definición del niño de acuerdo a sus resultados y no a quién en realidad “ES” en todos los aspectos. Porque ¿a poco un niño es sobresaliente sólo si saca una medalla en una competencia? O sólo hasta que va a la escuela y vemos que le va mejor en los exámenes que a otros. El mismo término “gifted” implica que el niño o la niña tiene algo que otros no tienen y que esto lo hace ser “superior” (o sobresaliente) a sus pares.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Empezando por ahí tenemos problemas.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Desde mi experiencia y mi humilde punto de vista ser sobresaliente &lt;b&gt;no tiene que ver con una inteligencia superior&lt;/b&gt; (considerando que la Real Academia de la Lengua Española define como inteligencia la “capacidad de comprender y de resolver problemas”). Para mí, esto tiene que ver con &lt;b&gt;el desarrollo neuronal acelerado&lt;/b&gt;… Sí ahí está, lo he dicho, todo mundo piensa que el niño sobresaliente es más inteligente, pero yo creo que es más desarrollado &lt;img alt=&quot;Winking smile&quot; class=&quot;wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhvV0ITqIRkGhgUbnfrhgVTw3TpyoxWAp2qVhJWI_EZXFcwQCgr3md8qJsncGXzLFkgw1_tAio3GKBqKD0Rdoob25GcgtfBpZrrWXCQdMPIx0viH76djMV20Y78ljuGmUgNbYxEYb5zg/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;&quot; /&gt;¿ven la diferencia?. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;La realidad de estos niños es muy diferente a la de sus compañeros. Es decir, son niños que por azares del destino genético, se desarrollan prematuramente en las áreas cognoscitivas. Algunos autores comparan este desarrollo intelectual a tener un &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/04/040412012459.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;cableado diferente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Los niños excepcionalmente superdotados tienen mentes cableadas en formas que los investigadores prácticamente no pueden describir“&lt;/strong&gt; (Extracto de Boy Genius set to become younges-ever grad of Independent Study High School Program. Joe Duggan. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/youngest_ever.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hoagies Gifted&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Este cableado diferente los lleva a tener ventaja en el tiempo que tienen practicando o entendiendo conceptos que sus compañeros todavía no han visto. O lo que es lo mismo, su problema o ventaja es que tiene un &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;desarrollo intelectual asincrónico&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, su edad mental es superior a su edad cronológica.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Por ejemplo, no creo que nadie piense que un niño de segundo de secundaria sea más inteligente que un niño de segundo de primaria, por el simple hecho de que está viendo más información que el pequeño. Simplemente se encuentran en diferentes etapas del desarrollo y es esperable que pueda hacer otras cosas por lo mismo.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Por eso la definición que me parece más acertada en cuanto a mi experiencia es la del Grupo Columbus.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;“La superdotación es un desarrollo asincrónico en el cual se combinan habilidades cognoscitivas avanzadas y una intensidad ampliada, para crear experiencias internas y entendimientos que son cualitativamente diferentes de la norma. Esta asincronía se incrementa conforme mayor sea la capacidad intelectual. El que estos niños sean únicos, los hace particularmente vulnerables y los hace requerir modificaciones en la forma en que se crían, se les enseña y se les aconseja, para que puedan desarrollarse óptimamente&lt;i&gt;”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;( The Columbus Group, 1991, consultado en&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/identification.htm&quot;&gt;, Hoagies Gifted&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Usualmente leo cosas como “Todos los niños son superdotados” o una frase que me gusta mucho y que atribuyen a Albert Einstein, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;La realidad es que sí, todos somos genios en un área u otra del desarrollo humano, a esto se le llama DIVERSIDAD, y es lo que ha hecho grande a la humanidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Pero es muy importante entender que cuando hablamos de &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;sobresalientes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; estamos hablando de que existen estos niños “diferentes”, en riesgo, y que requieren de apoyo especial para poder florecer. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Es importantísimo entender que ellos no eligieron ser así, nacieron de esta manera y por lo tanto, no tienen la responsabilidad de venir a salvar al mundo, pero sí merecen tener los derechos básicos que tiene cualquier otro niños, entre ellos, el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unicef.org.co/kids/derechos.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;derecho a la educación.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Es por este motivo que como padres y maestros tenemos la responsabilidad de seguir investigando y entender cuáles son las necesidades que derivan de esta diferencia para poderles ofrecer mejores oportunidades de desarrollo intelectual, social y emocional.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

(Patterns In Graphs)? We&#39;ll do it again.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What happens when you graph &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2Fx&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;? You get a graph that looks like 2 rotated &quot;L&quot;. You can see the closer x gets to 0, the closer y goes to ∞... but that if you look at the positive region! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;For positive values of x, 1/x goes approaching ∞. For example:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/1=1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/0.1=10&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/0.01=100&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But for negative values of x, 1/x goes approaching -∞. For example:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/-1=-1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/-0.1=-10&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/-0.01=-100&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So which is it? ∞, or -∞?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It could be both.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Because 1/10&lt;sup&gt;x&lt;/sup&gt;=10&lt;sup&gt;-x&lt;/sup&gt;, then, 1/10&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt; should be equal to 10&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt; (And 10&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt; isn&#39;t ∞. That would be like saying 10&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; (1000000, a million) is equal to 6.), right? There are only 2 problems with that:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1) This could work for all bases, 1/10&lt;sup&gt;x&lt;/sup&gt;=10&lt;sup&gt;-x&lt;/sup&gt; is only a form of the more universal equation, 1/n^x=n^-x.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;2) x&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt; can&#39;t be 0... Or can it?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;x&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;=x, x&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;=1, but x&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;=1/x, and x&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;=1/x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, so does x&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt;=1/x&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt; (which should definitely be larger than infinity if x&amp;gt;1)? Yes!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But what if you divide 1/&amp;lt;A number definitively bigger than infinity? It should give you a number with ∞ 0&#39;s...But is this 0? Think about this in this way, if this number had any digits after the 0&#39;s, it would have an end, and it would be infinite... So this is 0 after all! (hope I&#39;m not breaking any kind of calculus law or something) But because x&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt; will only be infinite if x&amp;gt;1, the solution set for 1/0 would be 1/x&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt; only when x&amp;gt;1... &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But our rule of 1/n&lt;sup&gt;x&lt;/sup&gt;=n&lt;sup&gt;-x&lt;/sup&gt; also applies to when x is positive...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So n&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;=1/n&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt;, But is n&lt;b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;b&gt;-&lt;/b&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt; also 0?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;As you graph n&lt;sup&gt;x&lt;/sup&gt;, when x is negative, the values tend to be 0 as x goes down. So the only thing logical is that:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;n&lt;sup&gt;-∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;b&gt;=0&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So the solution set for 1/0 would be 1/x&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt; only when x&amp;gt;1 &lt;b&gt;and &lt;/b&gt;x&amp;lt;-1.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Many of you might have heard of &lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, but not very well the definition. Here it is (for starters):&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt;=(1+1/∞)&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No really, there&#39;s no typo. Well, in the other hand:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If you have the equation (1+1/n)&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;, If n is 1, you have (1+1/1)&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, which is equal to 2. If n is 2, you get 2.25. If n is 4, you get 2.44140625... But as you go towards ∞, you get a number closer and closer to &lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995...), and when you get to ∞, you get (apparently), &lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm9B6j6zjL7Y9EtZmItez11HcfRVdfZ-wmaYFtz8kjKtlLfhyphenhyphenbpOm0-IGwJ0xOVHJQ9I0LHpPSPN9vHiYSZGZ3dgiDTIGxsOro7lI7zgauJ_0T4oPjKg0zxgE2NdpMfFz73jF9IOxxAw/s1600-h/Aproximating%252520e%25255B3%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Aproximating e&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yYrVNShk2lB4q-JcBHIj7zNWlSWxao_1AQTxGCirCiJodYKtnkz_gTIeVFg-Woze-mZcSmLePlY9Cl60o6W7Wt7QM1dtdL5o1J0ed2iTYnDvy0WMQJuUp9oWpkRTVR1xWSISlshexQ/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;Aproximating e&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Another thing, if a gambler plays a game with a probability of winning of n, n times, for a n that goes up to infinity, the probability of losing every bet is 1/&lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And the following gives &lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt; too:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; ∞&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; Σ&amp;nbsp; 1/k!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; ∞&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; Σ&amp;nbsp; ((k-1)&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;)/k!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;(Σ&amp;nbsp; ((z-1+k)/k!))/z, where z is any real number (or complex)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;k=0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;k=0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Also, &lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt; is equal to:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/(2+1/(1+1/(2+1/(1+1/(1+1/(4+1/(1+1/(1+1/(6+1/(1+1/(1+1/(8+1/(1+1/(1+1/(10+1/...)))))))))))))))&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And it is known that (in radians) e&lt;sup&gt;(&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;x)&lt;/sup&gt;=cos(x)+&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;(sin(x)) (which is the base for &lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;^π)&lt;/sup&gt;=-1, but that&#39;s another story).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And the biggest non-complex value for x&lt;sup&gt;(1/x)&lt;/sup&gt; is at &lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; isn&#39;t just a bunch of equations, but is the base for a lot of important equations.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s say that the square&#39;s sides all measure 1.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Now modify the sides like this &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyH-F9bx6miG-UU8D05_LTWDk7OynVZKcquzIvrRE85NyiREq7ysdI3kwyc4r1e9RZdsvgNo4xRqsWgtKgDIRCcPOpzjdh__tryM1ikPYzx2lYZIwNNZ_vY4pZe_chJHHmxt0nTo2PMQ/s1600-h/Step%2525202%25255B2%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Step 2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;94&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijSDUVXHIbajcDYVvzzjLh-aEC5avSVaCAv_pzXp_9UcC5WbaQBtpCneDFqn9VgUtoFCMyFC1neIUFfbi5dsotQCGZtQOGmO6d2r5-bnCG3kfkmnJmYEdTLMdsNA7K47fQx5e9c9R2IA/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;Step 2&quot; width=&quot;94&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;so while the perimeter is still 4, now the circle is touched in 8 areas.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Modify it again and again, until you get...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A circle &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBnFxMfNaYa81fdK7cJ4XWwxKyBP73FWRNzin_14CX0-2N-tdZJHLZJA9lsc4sPRFJ7T50r2xKGeDXugtyXe5gauFha62LAhEyA-kxxspECfFcivNsa10FmUVpcu5eRnxirZ_W4PbPSQ/s1600-h/Image.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Step &quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;94&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC0cIbVPmdWs1jMOmy-euG4sD5Kt3bxtApS7Z6X-6Wj8thyphenhyphen7cl_VjGgAR1MsAJJOuvmSNfxHOkaASLmJyl-cfgiLLbmJ5Nd2eNYVbaWNppuY6aCmzCcr8TG-iJv1fRQU6xkcOHVhBNDw/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;Step &quot; width=&quot;94&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But is this &lt;b&gt;REALLY &lt;/b&gt;a circle?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Nope!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A real circle has 0 sides, not ∞ like on this infinitely wrinkled circle.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So it is not a real circle, but an infinitely close imitation.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But what is the perimeter (remember this is an infinitely wrinkled circle with no curves, but ∞ sides)?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We started with 4, and by only modifying the sides, we didn&#39;t change the perimeter, only to get a final 4 as the perimeter!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So pi isn&#39;t four as anyone would have thought with this proof about making an imitation of a circle at first sight.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Extra:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Pi as a continued fraction?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;To get pi to an accuracy of 11 digits, try &quot;3+(1/(7+(1/(15+(1/(1+(1/(292+(1/(1+(1/(1+(1/(1+(1/(2+(1/3)))))))))))))))))&quot;, and continue the pattern with more digits I found&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PiContinuedFraction.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This is a great approximation, but can&#39;t you simply say 3.14159265358979.../1?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Not so exiting, but if you aren&#39;t worried about all numbers in the equation being integers, more understandable.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Is pi random?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Nobody knows, but it looks random enough.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First of all: though pi will never change, randomness is still valid.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Second: Let&#39;s try to approve or not approve randomness.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;One of the properties of randomness is that there are an approximately equal number of appearances of each of the possibilities (here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0). If you check in the digits of pi, you&#39;ll find this property true. Want to check it? Try going to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2962890185202644317&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;this page&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; and use Ctrl+F. ✓&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Another property of randomness, though identical to the first in concept, but referring to the sequences of digits is also something you can try in the page of the last hyperlink, and with some short sequences, you will find it also true. ✓&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You may start calling pi random, but we&#39;re still not sure. We need to know more digits to see if no sequences appear in the total of all pi digits (after all, you&#39;d never know if a house is a house if you check atom by atom). So final answer?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;MAYBE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Let&amp;#39;s unscramble this nonsense once in for all!</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;What is 0&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;? And I&#39;m not expecting some miracle answer or nothing, I&#39;m expecting the truth. And actually, it&#39;s much more complex than you might think (and I&#39;m not talking about&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; here). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;My point is, powers with base 0 (0&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;) could be forbidden.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;It is known that x&lt;sup&gt;m&lt;/sup&gt;*x&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;=x&lt;sup&gt;(m+n)&lt;/sup&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But also that x&lt;sup&gt;m&lt;/sup&gt;/x&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;=x&lt;sup&gt;(m-n)&lt;/sup&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So if you might call 0&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; as 0, or 0&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, you would be forced to say 0&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;/0&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, that is 0&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, would be 0/0.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But there is something wrong about that. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Remember when we talked about 0/0? It could even be 0! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But we know that when we say 0&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, we&#39;re talking about a number that when you multiply 1 zero together (that is, leave it as it was), you&#39;re talking about 0! So 0/0 is 0 in this case.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But 0&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt; has nothing to forbid it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The only reason mathematicians called n&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt; as 1, was because n&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; =(n)/n&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, (that is n&lt;sup&gt;(1-1)&lt;/sup&gt;=n&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;) was always 1... except for 0.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So the only thing that can define without barriers 0^0 is... Our number with infinite answers! 0/0! (or 0&lt;i&gt;j&lt;/i&gt;, if you remember one of our last episodes)! But of course because almost everyone else believes 0/0 is undefined, 0&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt; is as undefined as. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;-The Roaring Thunder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is like&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you (usually) can&#39;t simplify things with it. E.g.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, then we would be obliged to say &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;=&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Is it?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We can use something I like to abbreviate as P.I.G (Patterns In Graphs, which can also refer to look for formulas), which is what I&#39;ll do.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If we graph x-x=y, we always get 0. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s a truly linear equation. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We don&#39;t expect that when it gets to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it will suddenly rise to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; too.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Same story with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;*&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;/&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What makes sense in both cases, is that neither &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;*&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; should be expressed as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, but as 2&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, respectively.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1 should be written as it&#39;s written here, and so should 3/&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, 2&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1, x&lt;sup&gt;y&lt;/sup&gt;=y&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;x&lt;/sup&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;+&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;x+&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;=0, etc.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;...or is it?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This would work perfectly if it wasn&#39;t for the definition of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the biggest quantity that can be described, which doesn&#39;t have an end.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1&amp;gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1 should be infinity!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But if &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1)&amp;lt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+1 (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+2), then &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+2 should be &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But if this is smaller than &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(totally infinite!), then &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;b&gt;SHOULD BE &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So my definition of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;nonsense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Write an &quot;a&quot; every 2 spaces or (2&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;) spaces. This should look like this: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Then, from the first unoccupied space, write a &quot;b&quot;, every 4 spaces (2&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;) this time: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba_aba &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Repeat this last step, but with the &quot;c&quot;, and now every 8 spaces (2&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;) . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;abacaba_abacaba_abacaba_abacaba_abacaba_abacaba_abacaba_abacaba &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you continue the pattern, this you should get: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;abacabadabacaba_abacabadabacaba_abacabadabacaba_abacabadabacaba &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;abacabadabacabaeabacabadabacaba_abacabadabacabaeabacabadabacaba &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;abacabadabacabaeabacabadabacabafabacabadabacabaeabacabadabacaba &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Of course, if you continue this until the &quot;z&quot;, you will get a word (2&lt;sup&gt;27&lt;/sup&gt;)-1 characters long, which is 134,217,727 letters long!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;And if you include all the character in the Unicode (the majority are Chinese characters and some are just representations as &quot; &quot;, but still, no discussing about that), the epic number of 109,449 you get: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;5.40785978562894540705755027563290385780481607 × 10&lt;sup&gt;32947&lt;/sup&gt; letters!!!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But what does this apply to? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The Sierpiński Gasket! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;very time you see a black square, write &quot;a&quot;, if you see a little white triangle, write &quot;b&quot;, a bigger white triangle, &quot;c&quot;... etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;And if all the &quot;a&quot;s in the triangle are one color, and the &quot;b&quot;s other... you get a colorful Sierpiński! (but that&#39;s another thing...) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;And to really celebrate Sierpiński and the abacaba, I made the &quot;rainbow gasket&quot;! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And a cube root of a number &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;y&lt;/span&gt; is by definition a number &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;x&lt;/span&gt; in which &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;equals&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; y&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But we can also do &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;n&lt;/span&gt; roots, in which the &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;nth&lt;/span&gt; root of &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;y&lt;/span&gt; is a number &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;x&lt;/span&gt; in which which &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;x&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;equals &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;. But there&#39;s a special property about roots: &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;They may have many answers.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;For example, the square root of 4. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;, but also &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-2&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. So can &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-2&lt;/span&gt; be the roots of &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Yes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s now take a different example:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The &lt;b&gt;cube &lt;/b&gt;root of &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It may be true, but there are &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; more solutions.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First of all, you&#39;ll need to know complex numbers.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A complex number has a real part (&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2, 4, 7982&lt;/span&gt;) and an imaginary part, which can be any number times&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But what &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;is the square root of&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; -1&lt;/span&gt;, which doesn&#39;t exist, but can be used in many ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You can add &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;(&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;23+i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;), subtract &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;(&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9-&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;), multiply&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;23&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;) and divide&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;/5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You can get&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;to the power of a number (&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;=1, &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;=-1, &lt;i&gt;i&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/i&gt;=-&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;i&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/i&gt;=1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. This pattern repeats, and &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;i&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;=&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;i&lt;sup&gt;n &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;mod 4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So the second answer of the &lt;strong&gt;cube &lt;/strong&gt;root of &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;8 &lt;/span&gt;is &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-1 + 1.7320508075688772i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the third answer is -&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1-1.7320508075688772i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And &lt;strong&gt;fourth&lt;/strong&gt; roots?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s say we have the fourth root of 81. There are 4 answers for this:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A) 3&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;B) -3&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;C) 3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;D) -3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We know that &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3*3*3*3&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;81&lt;/span&gt;, and that &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-3*-3*-3*-3&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;81&lt;/span&gt;, but why &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; -3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;*3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-9&lt;/span&gt;, because if the square root of &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-1&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, then &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;should be&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; -1&lt;/span&gt;. And because &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3*3&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;9*-1&lt;/span&gt; is&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; -9, 3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;is &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-9&lt;/span&gt;. But we want &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, not &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. So we square &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-9&lt;/span&gt; to get &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;81&lt;/span&gt;. Same story with &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-3&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So really, the root of a number is much more complex than you might think.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;-The Roaring Thunder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Yes, calculators will tell you 0/0 is undefined, but if when we say x/y, you&#39;re looking for a number z that passes the test zy=x, so if x=0, and y=0, couldn&#39;t z be any number? 0×0=0, 0×1=0, 0×π=0, even 0×&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt;=0!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;YES!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So 0/0=R∪C, that is, the union of the &lt;u&gt;real &lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;complex numbers.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Any number in or out of the number line can be 0/0, but isn&#39;t a number divisible by another when the number is an integer? &lt;br /&gt;
 So because 0/0 can or can&#39;t be an integer, it is only &lt;u&gt;SOMETIMES&lt;/u&gt; divisible by itself. So 0/0 is &lt;b&gt;NOT &lt;/b&gt;completely divisible by itself, doesn&#39;t this seem strange? &lt;br /&gt;
 We&#39;re dealing 0/0 as if we weren&#39;t dealing with something comparable with tan(90) or ∞&lt;sup&gt;∞&lt;/sup&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;
 So is it prime?&lt;br /&gt;
 A little.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://sobresalientesmx.blogspot.com/2012/10/m2c2a-episode-10-is-0-prime.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962890185202644317.post-5114491035933519041</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-11-18T21:39:22.977-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">M2C2A</category><title>M2C2A: Episode 9, Goodbye Graham&amp;#39;s number, you ain&amp;#39;t big anymore.</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What if we could make a number &lt;b&gt;BIGGER &lt;/b&gt;than Graham&#39;s number, just for fun. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We&#39;ll call Graham&#39;s number G. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First of all, G+1. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Much more drastic, G*2. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Even greater, G&lt;sup&gt;G&lt;/sup&gt;. Or (G!)&lt;sup&gt;(G!)&lt;/sup&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But what if we invent some mathematical terms for a certainly bigger number, so, &lt;b&gt;SO BIG&lt;/b&gt;, that by only writing the number of digits, of the NUMBER OF DIGITS, &lt;b&gt;OF THE NUMBER OF DIGITS, YOU&#39;D GET A NUMBER BIGGER THAN (((G!)!)!)! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;How about we invent the&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; &quot;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;exponetorial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s write this as &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&quot;¡&quot;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This, instead of the factorial, which is 2*3*4*...n, goes 2^(3^(4^(5...n?))...) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So for example 2¡ would be 2, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;3¡ would be 8, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;4¡ would be 4,096, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;5¡ would be 1,152,921,504,606,846,976, and &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;6¡ would be 2.3485425827738332278894805967893e+108!!! (the ! are exclamation signs). &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;7¡ would be 3.9408424552214162695348543183639e+758, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;8¡ would be 5.8171811191842110297035069398346e+6068, and only &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;9¡ would be an overload for my 9.99999999999999999999999999999999e+9999 calculator!!! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;How would we express G¡? And &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;(((((G¡)¡)¡)¡)¡)¡?! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Now, how about we try something definitively bigger than that. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s start with G¡. Now put G¡ &quot;¡&quot; after G (A.K.A G¡¡...¡¡¡, where the total number of &quot;¡&quot; is G¡). Let&#39;s call this G&lt;sub&gt;1¡&lt;/sub&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Now let&#39;s make G&lt;sub&gt;2¡&lt;/sub&gt; which will be G¡¡...¡¡¡, where the number of &quot;¡&quot; is now G&lt;sub&gt;1¡&lt;/sub&gt;. If you continue this to G&lt;sub&gt;G¡&lt;/sub&gt;, &lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;what will you get? An non-infinite number beyond what you could think possible!!!!! And G&lt;sub&gt;G¡&lt;/sub&gt;^G&lt;sub&gt;G¡&lt;/sub&gt;?! (Your brain can explode now).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;-The Roaring Thunder&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

But with what big numbers? &lt;br /&gt;
In third place in the list of very big numbers, we have the googol (not to be confused with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; searching machine), which is equivalent to 10&lt;sup&gt;100&lt;/sup&gt; (A.K.A 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, &lt;br /&gt;
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), which is quite a big number. &lt;br /&gt;
In second place, we have the googolplex, equal to 10&lt;sup&gt;googol &lt;/sup&gt;(A.K.A &quot;A number so big it couldn&#39;t be written because the observable universe isn&#39;t big enough&quot;). &lt;br /&gt;
But in first place, we have Graham&#39;s number, which is equal to this:&lt;br /&gt;
Suppose you want to write 3 cubed. You could say 3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, but you could also say 3↑3. But what if you wrote 3↑↑3? That would be 3 to the power of&amp;nbsp; 3↑3. And 3↑↑↑3? This would be 3 to the power of 3↑↑3. But this is already 3&lt;sup&gt;7,625,597,484,987&lt;/sup&gt;! Why would someone need a number so ridiculously big?! Is this Graham&#39;s number? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Not even close.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We need 3↑↑↑↑3! And this &lt;b&gt;isn&#39;t still Graham&#39;s number!!!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Now, let&#39;s call 3↑↑↑↑3 g&lt;sub&gt;1. &lt;/sub&gt;g&lt;sub&gt;1 is &lt;b&gt;EXTREMELY BIG&lt;/b&gt;, but it is &lt;b&gt;NOT &lt;/b&gt;Graham&#39;s number.&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Now, let&#39;s make g&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, where g&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; is equal to 3↑...↑3, and the number of arrows is g&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;. Is this Graham&#39;s number? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Not by a googol of zeroes close (literally)!!!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Graham&#39;s number isn&#39;t achieved until &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;g&lt;sub&gt;64&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, and is so &lt;b&gt;ridiculously large, &lt;/b&gt;that &lt;b&gt;NOBODY KNOWS HOW MANY DIGITS IT HAS NOR IN WHICH DIGIT DOES IT START.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
But this has nothing to do with infinity, does it? But this is the point I wanted to talk about: &lt;br /&gt;
Next time you hear &lt;i&gt;&quot;Infinity&quot;, &lt;/i&gt;remember this: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&quot;BIGGER THAN GRAHAM&#39;S NUMBER&quot;.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Face the binary truth.</title><description>Binary. &lt;br /&gt;
While many people relate it with computers, which is true, for binary &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; used in computers, but what much people don&#39;t understand it&#39;s that binary&#39;s actually simpler than you may think. &lt;br /&gt;
The numbers go in this sequence: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
0 &lt;br /&gt;
1 &lt;br /&gt;
10 &lt;br /&gt;
11 &lt;br /&gt;
100 &lt;br /&gt;
101 &lt;br /&gt;
110 &lt;br /&gt;
111 &lt;br /&gt;
1000 &lt;br /&gt;
1001 &lt;br /&gt;
1010 &lt;br /&gt;
1011 &lt;br /&gt;
1100 &lt;br /&gt;
1101 &lt;br /&gt;
1110 &lt;br /&gt;
1111 &lt;br /&gt;
... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
Understand the pattern? Here&#39;s a more easier way to express it. We&#39;ll use 0&#39;s as no&#39;s and 1&#39;s as yes&#39;s. If the sum of a number (including only this numbers, and no number being used more than one time) includes any of this numbers, we&#39;ll put a 1 (yes). Else, we&#39;ll put a 0 (no) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
8&amp;nbsp; 4&amp;nbsp; 2&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; Number &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2 &lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3 &lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 4 &lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5 &lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 6 &lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 7 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 8 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 9 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 10 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 11 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 12 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 13 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 0&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 14 &lt;br /&gt;
1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp; 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 15 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
But another interesting thing about binary is that you can do most mathematical operations just fine by only modifying the algorithm a little bit. &lt;br /&gt;
For example, adding 1+1 in the binary modification will give you 10, which translated into the decimal system, is actually a truth: 1+1=2. And 1+1 it&#39;s not the only thing you can add in binary.&amp;nbsp; We can also try: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
Binary addition:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Decimal translation: 101+110=1011&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5+6=11 &lt;br /&gt;
1100101+1110001=11010110&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 101+113=214 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
And if you can add, why shouldn&#39;t you subtract? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
Binary subtraction:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Decimal translation: 1000001-1=1000000&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 65-1=64 &lt;br /&gt;
1010101010-101010101=101010101&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 682-341=341 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
You should try to modify the addition and subtraction algorithms so you can add and subtract in binary, but can you modify the multiplication algorithm to binary? &lt;b&gt;Yes!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
This are some examples of binary multiplication: &lt;br /&gt;

Binary multiplication:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Decimal translation: 10x10=100&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2x2=4 &lt;br /&gt;

Binary division:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Decimal translation: 110÷10=11&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 6÷2=3 &lt;br /&gt;
1010100101010100101010÷10=101010010101010010&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2774314÷2=173394 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
And of course you can try powers, after all they&#39;re a kind of multiplication. So next time anyone says to you that binary is hard, you&#39;ll have something to explain. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Debo haber tenido menos de ocho años, y en esa época la televisión era un lujo y los pocos canales que había transmitían sólo una o dos horas de televisión para niños, por lo tanto las tardes calurosas las pasaba recostada en mi cama ojeando los libros que encontraba en la casa. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Y no había muchos libros, pero los pocos que teníamos eran fabulosos. Mi papá tenía una colección de libros de Readers Digest con historias clásicas, y por su trabajo nos consiguió enciclopedias como la Salvat&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.exploringnature.org/graphics/anatomy/Mendel_with_peas.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;189&quot; src=&quot;http://repositorio2.masoportunidades.com.ar/ARG01/210/245/10851214/fotos//10851214_3_2011105_13_34_9.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; width=&quot;285&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; o la enciclopedia Colibrí. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No teníamos todos los tomos, pero con los que teníamos me divertí sin saber en ese momento que estaba aprendiendo.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRero8apReUtNEByi0RQs2fLII2bfAuPOcFlV89_QYHBywGiI2eL2V-h_cGm_z7Rt7bKPKJhk1pqhvtpB7MknXZP0BLeGKFVFTTcFmaq7lS4a3tFj6UxEFkMy7bzsZInpHSvAWGWxIecHq/s200/s_MLM_v_O_f_61918085_2023.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; height=&quot;358&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRero8apReUtNEByi0RQs2fLII2bfAuPOcFlV89_QYHBywGiI2eL2V-h_cGm_z7Rt7bKPKJhk1pqhvtpB7MknXZP0BLeGKFVFTTcFmaq7lS4a3tFj6UxEFkMy7bzsZInpHSvAWGWxIecHq/s200/s_MLM_v_O_f_61918085_2023.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: right;&quot; width=&quot;241&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;También en esa&amp;nbsp; época, mi mamá guardaba aún sus libros de la preparatoria, los cuales estaban llenos de garabatos y jeroglíficos inentendibles. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Pero había uno sólo uno de ellos que contenía imágenes divertidas y explicaciones que me abrieron los ojos para entender el mundo en el que vivimos y cómo funcionan los seres vivos. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Era un libro de Biología. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Recuerdo que la cubierta era negra y al centro tenía una mariposa monarca. Y lo que más me gustaba era que dentro de sus páginas se encontraba &lt;em&gt;una rosa&lt;/em&gt; que mi papá le había regalado a mi mamá&amp;nbsp; cuando eran novios y se había conservado disecada dentro de tan voluminoso ejemplar. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Así es que no sólo era un libro entretenido sino también romántico.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.exploringnature.org/graphics/anatomy/Mendel_with_peas.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.exploringnature.org/graphics/anatomy/Mendel_with_peas.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;295&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ahí descubrí cómo Mendel había descubierto los principios de la genética, con sus observaciones y experimentos con chicharitos verdes y amarillos (&lt;em&gt;ni siquiera conocía los chicharos amarillos&lt;/em&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;También descubrí que no todos veíamos igual, con las pruebas de visión del &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobu_Ishihara&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dr Shinobu Ishihara&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;347&quot; src=&quot;http://www.flixya.com/files-photo/l/e/n/lenz86-173873.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;269&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Fue en ese tiempo cuando nació mi amor por la ciencia. Sin embargo fue un romance de lejecitos, puesto que finalmente al momento de elegir mi profesión, no le ví utilidad práctica en mi vida a estos conocimientos, o igual los tenía reprimidos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/t/m/tmh1/Orlando/images/07dolphin1_jpg.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; width=&quot;326&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Recuerdo que por un tiempo quise ser biologa marina, bueno realmente entrenadora de delfines, para poder trabajar en SeaWorld. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Pero ya aterrizándome en la realidad, era tan quisquillosa, que no podía acercarme a un pescado crudo, ni para cocinarlo, así es que mis pobres delfines se iban a morir de hambre conmigo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Finalmente estudié Administración de Empresas y luego Finanzas y mi vida era feliz, todo era color de rosa, las ciencias sólo estában en los programas de televisión del fin de semana, hasta que nacieron mis hijos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Hoy más que nunca, lo que los gringos llaman STEM (&lt;em&gt;Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics&lt;/em&gt;) es decir; Ciencias, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas, son lo que mueven al mundo y han contribuido a los grandes descubrimientos, inventos y avances en la historia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Y con mis hijos descubrí algo que explica perfectamente &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Neil Degrasse Tyson&lt;/a&gt; (uno de mis astrofísicos favoritos… junto a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Carl Sagan&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“Todo niño es un científico”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“No puedo pensar en una actividad más humana, que realizar experimientos de ciencia. Piénsa en esto – ¿qué hacen los niños?… Voltean piedras, le arrancan pétalos a una rosa – explarn el medioambiente a través de la experimentación. Eso es lo que como seres humanos hacemos, y lo hacemos a mayor profundidad y mejor que cualquier otra especie con la que nos hemos encontrado en la tierra… Nos inclinamos más por explorar nuestro medio ambiente que disfrutar una poesía cuando somos pequeños – hacemos eso más tarde. Antes de que esto suceda, todo niño es un científico. Así es que cuando pienso en ciencia, pienso en una actividad verdaderamente humana – algo fundamental a nuestro ADN , algo que motiva a la curiosidad”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Con esto en mente, las ciencias en esta casa no se estudian, se viven, se promueven y se disfrutan. Y por lo tanto, los libros que ocupamos para “descubir” la Física, la Química y la Biología, son libros que como el de Biología de mi mamá (que tristemente ya no supe dónde quedó), no sólo cuentan una historia, sino que con imágenes y palabras invitan a descubrir y comprender el mundo, promueven el pensamiento crítico y el razonamiento y son un deleite al abrirlos, no importa la edad del individuo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Image source: Wikipedia&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We&#39;ve all heard about &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt; in any random moment in our lives, but getting down to brass tacks: &quot;What is &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt;?&quot; is a more complicated question.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;To answer it, I&#39;ll answer the following: &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1. What&#39;s so special about the circle &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;〇&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;2. Can we imitate a circle that it&#39;s circumference is not &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;3. Can we find sequences in the digits of &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1. Answer:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A circle is special because it has not infinity sides, but it has none.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In such way, there are infinite curves inside every curve in a circle, making the circle a kind of fractal, where there&#39;s a curve inside the curve inside the curve inside the...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;To calculate the circumference, &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt; must be used in a way that helps us do it.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But why &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt; is used in circles and spheres for a reason, and it&#39;s because it was &lt;b&gt;MADE&lt;/b&gt; in such way to do it.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And circles and spheres, including ovals, are ones of the only geometrical shapes that use pi to calculate their area/circumference/volume.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But to what point are we getting with this?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Circles are special because they depend on &lt;b&gt;π&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Extra:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;How to enter a circle (〇) on the keyboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First go to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://translate.google.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Google translate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; (sorry it&#39;s in Spanish), and choose Chinese.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Check the box that says &quot;phonetic writing&quot; and write &quot;ling&quot;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Click the down arrow two times and the right arrow two times more, and press space.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Copy and paste, and you have a circle (definition in Chinese: Unofficial way of saying 0.).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;- The Roaring Thunder…&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;clear: both; font-size: .8em; width: 448px;&quot;&gt;
ViHart–9.999… reasons that .999…=1&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; states, if:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/9 = 0.111...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1/9x9 = 0.111...x9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1=0.999...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Also, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; states that another proof (on their side) is:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;x=0.999...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;10x=9.999...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;10x-x=9.999...-0.999...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;9x=9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;x=1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;- So is 0.999... equal to 1?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;- If it has infinite decimal places it must be!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;- WRONG!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But this can be easily busted, remember on episode 2, I stated that numbers as 9 contradict (1/y)xy=1?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If 1/9*9=1, even if the calculator states that as 1, infinite digits aren&#39;t going to get anywhere. Does 1/2+1/4+1/8.. get anywhere?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;NO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So we just proved Wikipedia wrong, and another million people more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;********&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Le pregunté a mi hijo, qué significaba para él “no regresar a la escuela” y me contestó rápido y seguro: “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;APRENDER&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Me causó ternura su respuesta. Finalmente la mayoría de los niños a eso van a la escuela, a aprender. Pero mientras haya estándares educativos, “aprender” involucrará que los niños reciban información acorde a criterios que pueden ser totalmente disímbolos con su naturaleza. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Por lo tanto, la educación en casa es la mejor oportunidad que tiene mi hijo de &quot;aprender”; de la vida, de las cuestiones académicas que le son interesantes, de su familia, de su conexión con su comunidad. En fin, es la oporunidad que tiene de aprender a madurar, a valorar su mundo y el contexto en el que se encuentra inmerso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;APRENDER&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Que pequeñita palabra y cuanto mensaje lleva consigo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;********&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Les comparto las clases del día de hoy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Continuamos con &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Algebra I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, y al terminar me pedío de favor seguir con las clases de &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mandarín&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; que tenemos agendadas para los lunes, miercoles y viernes. ¿Quién puede decirle que no a quien quiere seguir aprendiendo? =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Así es que añadimos &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mandarín&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; al día de hoy, lo cual me hace cambiar toda la agenda futura, pero pues para eso estamos en casa, para que estos cambios improvisados no nos afecten. Al contrario, para tener la flexibilidad de irnos adaptando a las circunstancias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etrillas.com.mx/etrillas/detalle.php?isbn=9789682450846&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://www.etrillas.com.mx/etrillas/port/9789682450846.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Siguió su día con &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Lectura Diaria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, y le conseguí un libro diferente para la sección de desarrollo de habilidades del pensamiento. Es otro libro divertido y que toca temas que ayudan a la solución de problemas y el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico. Se llama &lt;strong&gt;Piensa&lt;/strong&gt;, y es de &lt;strong&gt;Editorial Trillas&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Se supone que sólo iba a hacer un ejercicio el día de hoy y le gustó tanto que para cuando fuí a observar cómo iba, ya había adelantado tres ejercicios más… Nuevamente el tema de esta aventura del Homeschool es la &lt;em&gt;Flexibilidad&lt;/em&gt;. =) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telesecundaria.dgme.sep.gob.mx/mat_edu/me_lb_1.php#1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLOAb7dafC2J1swBYj9S3O0vHerJ4KQCWebJi7f_7E2jZhhEAs-gIxNiNx9C5-mUpu1XGzL3GzX0g30lGX4qsSjKgjoFNLzVyBCa-GKUfsqisIxSCWz4gOQWTbHqA6k4DzOW9Yt4Y9Q/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; width=&quot;190&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Después tuvimos su clase de &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Español&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. En ésta lo apoyo como guía en las actividades. Como les comenté anteriormente, seguimos el libro de Telesecundaria de Español 1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Me gustó el libro, y me gustó la presentación de las actividades. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Hoy iniciamos con la Sesión de introducción y&amp;nbsp; lo que me agradó es que las lecturas que contiene plasman de modo muy realista lo que se vive directamente en la &lt;strong&gt;escuela&lt;/strong&gt; (cosas que no nos suceden en casa) y esto le ayuda a ampliar su visión del mundo, viviendo a través de la lectura y no de la experiencia, la oportunidad de formar parte de un grupo social y entender por ejemplo las &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;reglas “tácitas”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; de una comunidad. Muy buena lección.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;

Nuevamente nos estamos basando en el libro de Telesecundaria y me encantó cómo tomó con gran entusiasmo esta clase. Inmediatemente abrimos el planisferio de &lt;a href=&quot;https://maps.google.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;, y ¡a viajar se ha dicho!. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Al terminar la lección me dijo, “creo que Geografía se va a convertir en mi clase favorita”. Nada mal para un niño que creía que España estaba en Sudamérica, jejeje…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Ha sido un fabuloso segundo día de clases y los dejo porque hay que ir a hacer de comer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;

Entonces decidimos dejarlo seguir sus propios intereses y trabajar un poco más en matemáticas que es lo que le gusta mucho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Se decidió también por continuar aprendiendo mandarín ya que por un tiempo estuvo inscrito en el curso en línea de &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.activechinese.com/home7.jsp?cm1=3&amp;amp;cm2=7&quot;&gt;Active Chinese&lt;/a&gt; ($10 dólares al mes) pero como aprende por inmersión, aprende muy rápido y en dos meses, ya había terminado el curso, así es que lo dejamos continuar aprendiendo Mandarín por su cuenta utilizando &lt;a href=&quot;http://translate.google.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google Translate&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wiktionary.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wiktionary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Así estuvo trabajando hasta Junio… Y después de eso vacaciones… Por lo que d&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;espués de unas largas,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; l a r g a s&lt;/span&gt;, muy largas vacaciones HOY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; iniciamos el nuevo ciclo escolar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jmap.org/JMAP_INTEGRATED_ALGEBRA_AMSCO_RESOURCES.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;234&quot; src=&quot;http://www.jmap.org/images/int_alg_1_cover.JPG&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; width=&quot;203&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Empezamos con &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Algebra 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Seguimos trabajando con un libro que descubrimos el año pasado y nos gustó porque está muy bien explicado, las lecciones vienen divididas en pequeñas partes y eso permite que se comprenda muy bien el tema. Presenta muchos ejemplos prácticos y sobre todo, la sección de ejercicios, no sólo incluye los tradicionales ejercicios de práctica, sino también de razonamiento y de comprensión y aplicación de lo aprendido a la vida real. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Muy recomendable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Es de Editorial AMSCO Publication, y se puede descargar en la página de &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jmap.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jefferson Math Project&lt;/a&gt;. Lo que me gusta de esta página es que también pueden conseguir infinidad de hojas de cálculo, problemas de exámenes, y actividades de enriquecimiento, como complemento de este libro de texto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/The-Story-Science-Aristotle-Leads/dp/1588341607&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;The Story of Science: Aristotle Leads the Way&quot; src=&quot;http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YHtjHc7kL._SL500_AA300_.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;La siguiente clase, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Historia de la Ciencia, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;es una de las favoritas de esta casa. No sólo le encanta a mi hijo, a mi también me tiene fascinada. Desde que conseguimos el libro, nos encantó. Leímos el libro el año pasado y a mitad del mismo decidimos incluir el cuaderno de trabajo y comenzar de nuevo incluyendo estas actividades. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No nos ha decepcionado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Students-Quest-Guide-Aristotle-Science/dp/1588342549/ref=pd_sim_b_2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;Student&#39;s Quest Guide: Aristotle Leads the Way (The Story of Science)&quot; src=&quot;http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GtMjOXCvL._SL500_AA300_.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; Se llama &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Story of Science Aristotle Leads the Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, de &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Joy Hakim&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Es el primero de tres libros y lo compramos por Amazon. También ahí conseguimos el manual de instructor y el libro de actividades del alumno. No están caros, y la verdad nos han abierto los ojos a un pasado que desconocíamos, que esta lleno de personajes interesanes e información no sólo impresionante, sino también divertida. Esta clase la hacemos juntos porque yo también aprendo bastante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etrillas.com.mx/etrillas/detalle.php?isbn=9789682432866&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;293&quot; src=&quot;http://www.etrillas.com.mx/etrillas/port/9789682432866.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: left;&quot; width=&quot;233&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;La tercer clase del día es &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Desarrollo de la Inteligencia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Utiliza el libro &lt;strong&gt;Creática 5&lt;/strong&gt; de &lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Editorial Trillas&lt;/span&gt;. Esta clase se la incluí para que vaya desarrollando más su pensamiento crítico. Trabaja varias areas de la inteligencia y también valores. Es un libro de trabajo para divertirse un poco y relajarse un poco más, mientras que desarrolla sus procesos verbales, instrumentales, creativos, lógico-matemáticos, de abstacción, etc. Es un libro que hay que comprar, la verdad no es caro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Terminando su actividad de Creática, continu&lt;a href=&quot;http://diarioeducacion.com/libros-de-lectura-rieb/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaBBiOuaXu1ByGrLihPDivIYW6eR5cgsI9hUyp2BFi4RvIbOd5Xe5GMsMG4NxJ7GVVhPxqTcKqFrFjwsjx3Kw3uMUm8c-F_i2oKAfXKFJ-fvKT2EruagcFzfENd4xmGjwoyi1F8IFOwQvX/s200/libro+de+lectura+rieb.png&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a con una pequeña lectura de su libro de &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lecturas diarias&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; de Quinto grado. Esto lo aprovechamos para que vaya ampliando su vocabulario, mejorando su expresión verbal y siga disfrutando el día. Porque en esta casa ¡nos encanta leer! Cómo les comentaba estos libros los consiguen gratis en el blog de &lt;a href=&quot;http://diarioeducacion.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Diario Educación&lt;/a&gt;, muy buen blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Y por último, la cereza del pastel. &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mandarín&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Encontramos estas lecciones en línea y ¡son gratis!, la página se llama &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zhongwenred.com/lessonsoneten.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Zhongwenred&lt;/a&gt;, que según mi hijo significa Chino-Rojo. Después de haber tomado su curso anterior, nos parecio (bueno, le pareció a él, porque yo no le entiendo) una buena continuación para practicar pronunciación y conversaciones cotidianas y aprender nuevo vocabulario “)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Es medio día del primer día de clases y ya tengo aquí a mi estudiante modelo tratando de quitarme de la computadora porque ya va a empezar su clase de mandarín. Así es que los dejo por lo pronto y hasta la próxima. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Saludos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A snail?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A bacteria?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Well, imagine that competing versus a human in a race.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Easy, huh? The human wins.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNoaAIkcm_hSMYvNMj6XF8-HClLKjxSPOnxxCLPtMDOvsXla-YUtiArtIDIw2np1KPDGgrRNTtG0Iy6SSWD9Zk7uE54YFHiiWY2DOwS_nlbnO8862Nh19v3nB6m4pzQF90w_sUIiD0OQ/s1600-h/IMG_2072%25255B4%25255D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_2072&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0PkSkTY0wtBXSXVXoTr3ou1MoxSrHi40Wn7OXFc3pVH4mRKSasTplgvOC57aZgpAS54VL7Ew27H7xVcS7RFOUEs6i39YvM-gULZdw4gG7a7_vQIp3yYCSoMsMN1a6LItkmlEmJ42xQ/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;IMG_2072&quot; width=&quot;536&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But what if the human decides to run the distance equivalent to half the race (let&#39;s exclude the time he needs to get there), and then run the distance equivalent to a fourth of the race? And then an eight?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;He loses.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;To explain why we&#39;re going to need to use infinitesimal calculus...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Yes, you probably have bad problems with calculus, but I am going to take it easy on you.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;EASY&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First, I&#39;ll explain sigma (∑ ).&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s say you have the following equation:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Cambria Math;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;3&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Cambria Math;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; ∑&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;(k-1)+k&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Cambria Math; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;k=1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This means the ranges of our variable,&lt;strong&gt; k&lt;/strong&gt;, vary from 1 to 3, and each time you solve &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;(&lt;/u&gt;k&lt;u&gt;-1)+&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;k&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;k&lt;/strong&gt; changes by &lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt; and the value is added to the last one.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;(&lt;/u&gt;k&lt;u&gt;-1)+&lt;/u&gt;k&lt;/strong&gt; is first (when &lt;strong&gt;k&lt;/strong&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt;) equal to &lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt;, and when&lt;strong&gt; k&lt;/strong&gt; is&lt;strong&gt; 2&lt;/strong&gt;, our equation is equal &lt;strong&gt;3&lt;/strong&gt;, which we add to our last value, &lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt;, to get four, and when&lt;strong&gt; k&lt;/strong&gt; is equal to &lt;strong&gt;3&lt;/strong&gt;, the result of our equation will be equal to &lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt;, which we add to &lt;strong&gt;4&lt;/strong&gt;, our last value, to get&lt;strong&gt; 9&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;(Hey! I have accidentally discovered another way to say 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So if I say:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Cambria Math;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;∞&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Cambria Math;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&quot;∑ 2&lt;sup&gt;-k&lt;/sup&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Cambria Math; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Cambria Math; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;k=1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What do I mean?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I mean 1/2+1/4+1/8...!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But other thing I have to explain is that this is INFINITESIMALLY LESS THAN 1!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If you add 1/2 to 1/4, you get 3/4, 1/4 more to 1, but if you only add then 1/8, you have 7/8, and only need 1/8 more to get 1, but if you only add 1/16...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;At the end you might find yourself having to add only 1/∞ more, only to add 1/((1/2)x∞)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So in this race the human keeps running forever and ever only to get nowhere...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;-The Roaring Thunder&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Conforme pasaron las primeras semanas del curso fuí viendo que aunque el libro cuenta con ilustraciones muy bonitas, el contenido me pareció muy superficial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Reglas gramaticales ¿qué es eso?, ortografía ¿con qué se come?… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Finalmente optamos por cambiar de libro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mined.gob.sv/cyc.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOB1_Ujcs-YqpiGWWBu5Y9jCuf94SlJ7gJZz5hbNgDMXyrQzknXjnZdyNyGs2mo-rPPgpRrMq-6Ug0FqBIr4UwvnTOe5f7ma3JCXqcJ-NSCo2_i-KB8np0gQINHGJASmW3A4xZIjzJ0Ec/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; width=&quot;191&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Me encontré los &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mined.gob.sv/cyc.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;libros de texto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt; del Gobierno de El Salvador , y para mi gusto le dicen a los de la SEP, “quítate que ahí te voy” =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No sólo incluyen una guía metodológica bastante explicada y detallada, que me fue de gran utilidad para planear las actividades. También incluyen el libro de texto y un cuaderno de ejercicios, que imprimimos y con el cual trabajó mi hijo en este ciclo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Me gustó la forma de presentar la información, pero sobre todo los contenidos didácticos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Si están buscando libros de texto de Español, Ciencias y Matemáticas; buenos, bonitos y baratos, no busquen más… les recomiendo ampliamente esta colección.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Completamos el curso, con el libro de Lecturas Diarias &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://diarioeducacion.com/libros-de-lectura-rieb/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0p9iscZBZaLz-eWNwK1Nse169ARKGHdMoTQrHtDF8mgQl_C4iQrbi_P9O9TocKlHhpq-5ZoOI7s3JfL8RQz9S14MDyNXFluZiujoQnzzLBOUaUSvQ1uUF6-OKr4rNcHGW3mGb7a-bY4/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; width=&quot;187&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;. Porque a mi hijo le encanta leer y entre más cosas pueda leer, pues mejor para él. De eso se trata fomentarles el gusto por la lectura. ´&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;También vamos a utilizar estos otros libros de lectura: &lt;a href=&quot;http://diarioeducacion.com/libros-de-lecturas-sep-2012-2013/&quot;&gt;http://diarioeducacion.com/libros-de-lecturas-sep-2012-2013/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Y este año, ya más organizados, nos daremos la vuelta a conocer las bibliotecas de la ciudad. &lt;em&gt;Agradezco sus recomendaciones al respecto. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Por último, para este año decidí cambiar la configuración y pasar de lo predeterminado a lo personalizado… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Le dimos un repaso en general a cuarto, quinto y sexto de primaria, y básicamente nos topamos con la misma información cada año con un poco más de profundidad. Así es que viendo que ya estaba dominado el tema, este año iniciaremos con Español 1, utilizando los libros de telesecundaria. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telesecundaria.dgme.sep.gob.mx/mat_edu/me_lb_1.php#1&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLP0jlOs22hM5vHevAweoTCzWop2nPVG3tA5wflNOyqmpo4-BnX-_7VR08wu6GWLw2A7QB03UwGt9KMn_ZCfTDd3M9tiDjYyjcvNESG6YA6tQQbFnvdeZQaB_HaKBP30buiusuzlff1M/?imgmax=800&quot; style=&quot;background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; width=&quot;187&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Estuve buscando otros libros, pero no encontré algo de mi total agrado, y no le había dado oportunidad a la telesecundaria porque, no me parecía que fuese a llenar mis expectativas, pero &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;al ver los libros me gustaron los contenidos, el acomodo de la información por sesiones y los apoyos para el maestro.&lt;/span&gt; Así es que vamos a darle una oportunidad este año.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Ya les iré contando como nos va con esta clase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;¡Saludos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;**********&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Notas: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reason?:&lt;/strong&gt; because the planets are very far apart. and because the scales are almost always off by &lt;strong&gt;A LOT&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Yes, we know already they&#39;re far apart, but they&#39;re much farther away that you think.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Photo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.universetoday.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;http://www.universetoday.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;First of all, our&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; sun&#39;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; diameter is about 864,938 miles, but the things get both little and big after this.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mercury&#39;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; mean distance from the sun is 36,000,000 miles, but has a diameter of only 3,032 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Next, &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Venus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, is about 65,000,000 miles away from the sun, but only 7,257 miles wide. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Earth&lt;em&gt; (home sweet home)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is at the distance of the famous 93,000,000 miles away from the sun and has a diameter of about 8,000 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is about 228,000,000 miles far, which compared to the other planets is a whopper, and has a diameter of about 4,220 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But things start to get &lt;b&gt;BIGGER&lt;/b&gt; when you get to this point!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Jupiter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is about 484,000,000 miles away from the sun, and has a whopping 83,082 miles for diameter! (wow, that&#39;s big).&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; also gets it&#39;s fair share with, apart from it&#39;s 893,000,000 mile distance from the sun, 74,897 miles in diameter.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Welcome the billions&lt;/u&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Uranus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, with a distance of 1,783,950,480 miles from the sun, and a diameter of about 31,800 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;With &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neptune&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; you are very far from the sun, about 2,798,310,160 miles, and with a diameter of 30,707 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Despite&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Pluto&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is only a dwarf planet, I can still state it&#39;s distance from the sun as 3,670,052,070 miles and it&#39;s diameter as 1,413 miles.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So actually, the planets are relatively very small, and their distances very big, so next time you see a &quot;scale model&quot; of the solar system, except the size of the planets are those of bacteria and the solar system is the width of a sheet of paper, remember it&#39;s actually &lt;b&gt;WRONG&lt;/b&gt; and by &lt;b&gt;A LOT&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Dada la novedad y la premura de la elección, concluí que lo mejor sería iniciar con lo básico de educación que está recibiendo cualquier otro niño en el país, es decir, los libros de la SEP e ir construyendo y variando la experiencia a partir de esto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Así es que les comparto los pasos que seguí para construir la currícula del ciclo escolar anterior.&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj58nGtxbe-PN5iviR6cfgpzKZqnXtoga4-WJ0ulplyTmIPOde2OSmP4qnsQBBsE7EwhN8w7G81op0IkXfXGecRNHPgNgSBPUHjQ8mcDJVQZTDGVyFbx2KWsbS_uorgB3CugKP_6W_ijwO/s320/pla+estudios+2011+rieb.png&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;1) Conseguir el programa de estudio para el año académico que le correspondía a mi peque. Esta información la encontré en un fabuloso blog que se llama Ayuda para el maestro o Diario Educación &lt;a href=&quot;http://diarioeducacion.com/category/planes-y-programas/&quot;&gt;http://diarioeducacion.com/category/planes-y-programas/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;2) Imprimí los objetivos por materia y los añadí a una carpeta en la cual podía ir marcando qué objetivos se iban cumpliendo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;3) Bajé los libros de la SEP en línea, pueden encontrarlos en la mísma página de Diario Educación, o también en esta otra página que tiene buena información de apoyo. &lt;a href=&quot;http://apoyo-primaria.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://apoyo-primaria.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;4) Me dedique a buscar más libros en línea que pudieran sernos de utilidad. En la página &lt;a href=&quot;http://profemiguelito.blogspot.mx/2011/06/libros-de-trabajo-creatica.html&quot;&gt;http://profemiguelito.blogspot.mx/2011/06/libros-de-trabajo-creatica.html&lt;/a&gt;, me encontré una serie de libros de la colección “Creatica: Estimulación Integral de Inteligencia y valores”, (cuadernillos de trabajo para educación primaria, distribuidos en seis para cada grado, estos libros contienen actividades para desarrollar sus aprendizajes en las aéreas de procesamiento verbal, lógico, creativo, instrumental, analítico, esquemático, crítico y de memoria.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;5) Construí una agenda básica de trabajo con horarios, simulando un día normal de clases en la escuela.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Ese fue el comienzo, y al principio funcionó. Sobre la marcha fuimos variando y ampliando los contenidos, cambiando libros de texto y adaptando los horarios y experiencias educativas para pasar de estar escolarizado a la aventura de aprender por interés, sin restricciones de tiempo y sin imposiciones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Poco a poco, voy a ir compartiendo, el libro que utilizamos para cada materia&amp;nbsp; y el programa de trabajo que seguimos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Saludos,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;funny science news experiments memes - All Better!&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://chzscience.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/funny-science-news-experiments-memes-all-better.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;272&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;When you talk about irrational numbers, you normally think about &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;π&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;... or less normally, &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1/3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1/3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; shouldn&#39;t exist for one thing:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;THERE IS NEVER A REMAINDER EQUAL TO 0 (zero)!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You can get 0.3333333333333..., but there´s always an extra three.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Another thing that is invalid: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;1/3) x 3 ≠ 1,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;1/3) x 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it´s only 0.999999999999... &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But why do people use 1/3?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Because the difference between &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(1/3)x3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and 1 is of an extremely puny &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1/∞&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So really, it doesn&#39;t actually matter a lot.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But it really isn&#39;t valid, and contradicts that &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(y/n) x n=y&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;And so do 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14... In fact, any number bigger than 1 that isn&#39;t a power of 2, a power of 5, or divisible by 10 will contradict it!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;…&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But why powers of 2?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;That depends on the sole fact that &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n/2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; when &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n is an integer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; will have no more than 1 decimal place, and &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n/2 ^ x&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; will have no more than&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; x&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; decimal places.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;... &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Why?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Because of the way divisions are made, and because: &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every even integer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;is divisible by 2, but with odd integers the only remainder possible is 1, you add the invisible 0 to get 10, divide by 2 to get 5 remainder 0.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;4 is divisible by every 2 even numbers, and the possible remainders are 1, 2, 3 (and 0).&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If the remainder is 1, add the invisible 0, 10/4=2 remainder 2, add the invisible 0, 20/4=5 remainder 0&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If the remainder is 2, add the invisible 0, 20/4=5 remainder 0.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;If the remainder is 3, add the invisible 0, 30/4=7 remainder 2, add the invisible 0, 20/4=5 remainder 0.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;etc....&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Try it yourself, see as far as you can get.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;- The Roaring Thunder &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
