Project of the day (day 8) 2023, Wednesday, August 30th

#UCALC : https://github.com/seanpm2001/UCALC/

UCALC is one of my first #Python projects, and is one of my most developed software pieces. It is functional, but currently only works via command line, and is missing a lot of planned features. It is a highly advanced #calculator, with dozens of modes, and support for very complex #mathematical jobs, such as #calculation beyond the computers #processor type (eg: it can do #128bit and higher calculations on a #64bit machine)

Recently, I learned about the new terms Ronnabyte and Quettabyte (along with the smaller units deca (10) and hecto (100) which I didn't add in originally) and I am hoping to update the calculator (and 2 other projects) to include these new units in the near future.

UCALC was originally tested on #Windows 10, but can work on any computer that has a functional Python interpreter. I hope to make it more functional, and eventually add a functional GUI.

We also visited #StPaul's #Cathedral to hear about the things they're doing to explore the #maths in the building, its contents, people & stories with families & #schools.

Again, I'll write more about this at some point, but here's a beautifully #mathematical staircase that some of you may recognise.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that August's #Bletchley & #MK #MathsJam is:

- *tomorrow*: Tuesday 22nd!
- at Brewhouse and Kitchen in Central Milton Keynes (close to the theatre, *not* to be mixed up with the Midsummer Tap which is very close and has "pub and kitchen" on the sign!).
- From 7pm

Bringing yourself is an absolute must, and any #mathematical #ideas, #conundrums, #puzzles, #tidbits, #games, #books, #toys or #tales are encouraged but completely optional.

If you're able to let me know if you're intending to come I'd appreciate it, otherwise just turn up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

See you there,

Tom

In a recent episode of the #MathematicalObjects podcast, @sam_hartburn chats about the #guitar as a source of #maths & #mathematical intrigue. I was inspired to take part of what she said a little further: https://mathstodon.xyz/@TeaKayB/110876357639740309

Many #mathematical algorithms weren’t designed to be used for #MachineLearning. 👨‍💻 @PhilippHennig5 is trying to change this and develops a 🆕 software framework to give #AI a boost.

A #mathematical fact: The upper 1% can well consume double that of the lower 50%. And still 90% of consumption goes to the middle class. The 49% that were not mentioned probably to greenwash themselves.

You can sure say, oh, but I'm middle class I'm not changing anything. That's up to you. But don't excuse yourself. You are as guilty as anyone who doesn't start immediately with a revolution.

The poorer 50% might be excused. Busy fighting for survival. You too the contrary just don't want to get your ass up, or are afraid of simple repressions that are standard to the poor.

Had a few new followers this week, so here's an updated #introduction:

Hi! I'm Tom.

Professionally, I'm a #maths #teacher and #museum #learning #consultant with a broad interest in #STEM, #digital tools and #history, with a particular focus on their use in and relevance to maths education. I believe that #museums and other #heritage organisations have a mostly untapped opportunity - and, arguably, an unrealised responsibility - to help erode the British national pastime of maths negativity by drawing more explicit attention to the #mathematical themes that run through their #stories, #objects & #exhibitions. Open to projects (preferably funded as my mortgage provider doesn't take payments in kind).

Recreationally, I'm in to #maths, #reading ( https://www.goodreads.com/friend/i?invite_token=MWU1YjQ0NzEtM2RiYi00NDU1LWEzN2EtMDhkZWIzODI0ZDFh ), #movies ( https://boxd.it/KGkl ) and #astronomy (https://blogstronomy.blogspot.com), and I play #guitar and exercise ( https://www.strava.com/athletes/57672161 ) far less than I should.

Academically, my BSc was in Mathematics with Astronomy and I have completed a PgCert (Digital Literacy) and an MA (#Education). My research interests are mostly around some intersection of maths education and museum learning with a smattering of digital skills (see https://tkbriggs.co.uk/about-2/ for titles of assignments completed, and https://orcid.org/0009-0008-4910-5467 for published work). I want to do a PhD but I need to settle on a project & then work out how to fund it.

I #blog sporadically on various of the above at https://tommaths.blogspot.com and I'm still active on #Twitter ( https://twitter.com/TeaKayB ) and have profiles elsewhere though I'm aiming to make Mathstodon my primary social media residence.

I don't follow back automatically: gimme a reason!

Suppose one struggles with a #mathematical concept (Eg determinants), not feeling truly like one owns it; trying unsuccessfully to prove theorems before looking. One day, the feeling of deja vu will result in the brilliant insight that something else is a determinant in disguise.
