Happily part of KC Universal Network since August 1, 2022. en-us Copyright 2022-2026 by Kris Caballero https://math.kcuniversal.net/probability/dice-odds-1-eight-sided-dice-summing-to-11

New math tutorial! Yeah, it's been two years, but we're still at it!

We launched a section for Probability! Starting things off, we calculate odds on an eight-sided dice. Yes, such dice isn't as common, but what are the odds of a pair summing up to 11? Both the image tutorial and text are provided, so check it out and see what you think!

Thank you so much for sticking around and your patience! We'll be working on more math tutorials and discussions! Thanks to staying tuned!

And thank you everyone for reading and checking out our new math tutorial! If you have any questions, comments, and/or suggestions, send them our way! Hope everyone has/had a happy Monday!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:43PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/blog/thoughts-on-majoring-in-mathematics

New math blog! Yes, we are still in business and been very busy! You finally know why: We talk about the reason your's truly has finally been pursuing Mathematics academically, the reason for it, plus sharing advice to others thinking of doing the same!

Take our advice with a grain of salt, since everyone's life paths are different and are led into different directions. Coming from doing video production for over 20 years, we discuss from the perspective of someone who thought that entertainment was the mainstay, until getting in touch with their true selves, along with an increase in curiosity in how things work and why, are the points being made on this post.

Anyway, thank you everyone for reading and for sticking around! Much appreciated!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 07 Oct 2024 6:30PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/mathematical-mysteries-the-beauty-and-magic-of-numbers-calvin-c-clawson

New book review! This was just posted so it's hot and fresh off of the oven! This is another book about numbers, but mostly covers the equations and theorems that helped make mathematical disciplines like Number Theory possible! This should cater to the aspiring mathematician, math historian and/or number theorist because this is Mathematical Mysteries: The Beauty and Magic of Numbers by Calvin C. Clawson!

Yes, we're still here! Things have been unbelievably busy on our end but gradually trickling out more goodies as we go!

Thank you all for sticking around as usual! Happy Monday to everyone!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 26 Aug 2024 03:47PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/logic/l-concepts-its-terms-and-definitions

New tutorial! Yes, we're still here and we've started off with our personal favorite study of Math, and that is, Logic! We begin simply talking about the Carnapian vocabulary of L-Concepts and defining statements as such.

These terms were made possible by philosopher himself Rudolf Carnap! Granted, these terms aren't being used much anymore, but it's great to see and define what they are, especially we found no other webpafe talking about it nor discussing it.

Parts of this website is still a work in progress, but it's time we launch! Thank you all for sticking around! More to come for sure! Happy Friday to everyone!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Fri, 19 Jul 2024 03:11AM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/the-book-of-numbers-peter-j-bentley

New book reviews! If you're new here, these have originally been posted on our main page, kcuniversal.net, via The Seeds of Books section, and have been reposted with permission.

These two books ought to entice those who either are studying physics and/or studying math history or number theory. Great and easy to read: These are "The Probable Universe" by Dr. M.Y. Han and "The Book of Numbers" by Peter J. Bentley!

We're getting there, still some work to be done around here! Nevertheless, thank you all for sticking around! More to come!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Tue, 25 Jun 2024 03:16PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books

Section for math and math-related book reviews has been updated! They were all used and reposted with permission from The Seeds of Books, on the front page of KC Universal Network!

Still some dust to clean up but overall, progress is in! Thank you all for sticking around! More to come!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 20 May 2024 06:11PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/mathematics-a-very-short-introduction-timothy-gowers

Book review posted! This is a simple and short text introducing the beauty of problem solving. Big thank you to Oxford Publications, this is "Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction" by Timothy Gowers!

More reposted reviews to come! Also, title and link from the previous RSS feed post has been fixed.]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 13 May 2024 06:57PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/zero-the-biography-of-a-dangerous-idea-charles-seife

Book reviews posted! We have reposted two more book reviews! One of them is "A Mathematician's Apology" by G.H. Hardy and the other is "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea" by Charles Seife!

Yeah, it's been busy and there's a lot to do, plus something new to present as we're working on it. Thank you all for staying tuned! Meanwhile, thank you for sticking around and checking out our posts! Thank you to those for subscribing to our RSS feeds too!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 13 May 2024 06:00PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/quantum-physics-a-beginners-guide-alastair-i-m-rae

Book review posted! Continuing with gathering all the math and disciplines that use math over here, we look at a book that we wish could've been better. Then again, explaining a difficult subject for the average layperson is a daunting task but we commend the author for trying. This is Quantum Physics: A Beginner's Guide by Alastair I.M. Rae!

More book reviews, all which are related to math in every way, will be reposted here! Still plenty of work to be done but thank you for everyone's patience! We were also able to fix the links from the previous RSS post feed. Everything should work now, but more cleaning and maintenance on the way!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Thu, 09 May 2024 03:28AM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/reviews/books/the-numerati-stephen-baker

Book reviews posted! These were originally published on the network's section The Seeds of Book but have been granted full permission in reposting it here! We have reposted two so far, and will continue working on reposting more.

Math Anxiety is real, let alone the mental health issues that's plaguing our world. This one book ought to do wonders for your anxiety as it reads like therapy. This is Mind Over Math by Dr. Stanley Kogelman and Dr. Joseph Warren!

Another book we have reposted is all about the number crunchers. The media never talks about them but they are essential to our data processes and telling us what's going on and what may happen before it happens. Frightening stuff since online ads do just that, so get to know how it's all done with this book, The Numerati by Stephen Baker!

More book reviews, all which are related to math in every way, will be reposted here! Still plenty of work to be done but thank you for everyone's patience!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Wed, 08 May 2024 06:13PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/math-talk/math-dictionary-first-book-ever-purchased

New and first MATH TALK article! Again, keeping it all simple, this article talks about and discusses the very first book we bought that brought us into the world of Mathematics. As weird as it seems, it's actually a dictionary of mathematics!

Never would we imagine that a reference book would bring us some curiosity and inspiration, but if you look at such book, there are a handful of notations and terms that, at the time, were not familiar to us. There are notations and terms we haven't even heard of at all! It's fascinating that math is used everywhere, and to know about it makes it more fun.

Read all about it! Thank you so much for checking us out! Plenty more to come, for sure! Thank you all for your interest and patience as we get this place tidied up!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Wed, 24 Apr 2024 04:00AM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net/blog/what-made-us-love-math

Welcome to KCU Network of Mathematics! Almost two years later, here we are! New blog post!

It's a simple post about how we came to enjoy and love the beauty and discipline of Mathematics. Now, yes, many people don't like the topic of study, which is understandable since we used to be that way. However, things change for the better and know that thanks to a hobby and now a potential career path, we love it more than ever! Who would've thought that something we hated, we now came to love because everything suddenly clicked and made sense? That's exactly how we felt! Anyway, read our very first post and learn about it! Thank you for visiting!

Yeah, the website still looks incomplete after being dormant for almost two years. Please be patient as we are working on them now that this will become one of our main focus! Thank you to everyone's patience!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Sat, 20 Apr 2024 10:49PM PST https://math.kcuniversal.net The Seeds of Math, a subsidiary of The Seeds of Books! We talk about and explore various mathematical disciplines and discuss them in every way!

Lots of dust around here, plus we just finished setting up our new computer so things will take a bit of time to get acclaimated. Stick around, remember this website's URL and we shall get started soon! Thanks for checking us out!]]> kris@kcuniversal.net (Kris Caballero) Mon, 01 Aug 2022 09:43PM PST
