I bet if they taught the subject with a little aesthetics like this, it would have been quite enjoyable to the young Linda. <br /><br />I was a math dunce. However Geometry was the only math course I ever enjoyed. I was particularly interested in how everything proved out--no gray areas. Trig was a disaster for me. To this day I haven't got a clue what it's used for. Me and half the class were in summer school--68. I'm getting upset just thinking about it. <br /><br />I like "joinery is everything". We'll dub it Roth's Theorem.William Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286221149980028093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888852565263559100.post-46780310781903383502012-05-14T18:31:38.809-04:002012-05-14T18:31:38.809-04:00Very enlightening Bill.

No one said why I needed to know it. Then I went to art college and noticed through drawing everything was connected. This line is parallel to that; these points all meet at this point. (I like to describe it as "joinery is everything"). Then I became a designer and knew what geometry was for. I bought the books. I studied the theorems. I calculated and constructed and made a living. Now I'm back to the second dimension and again joinery is everything. Why don't we connect the dots for our young?Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.com
