@aneesha Is it wrong that I read that as experiment with staff? 😃

Today is experiment with stuff day .....

@PhysInHistory How is the Black-Scholes Equation related to physics? Isn't it a model for financial markets?

Some important equations in Physics ✍️

@RandomSamplePOD @DiscoverAMSI @AustMS @StatSocAus @MERGA_maths Concerning statistics no doubt but how much of an outlier are they? What percentage of other subjects are taught by out-of-field teachers? Is this a maths problem or more general?

This study was sponsored by a consortium of @DiscoverAMSI, @AustMS, @StatSocAus, @MERGA_maths, and the Actuaries Institute.

REPORT: 🔺40% of maths teachers aren’t maths trained 🔺75% of AUS Year 7-10 students experience these ‘out of field’ teachers A group of peak bodies in maths & stats is calling for government action to break the out of field teaching problems in maths. amsi.org.au/2024/03/25/oof…

@Rainmaker1973 or the arrows should be reversed

@Rainmaker1973 The indexes are incorrect for times less than a second eg a second should be 5.39 x10^44 times the PlancK time not 10^-44

From the Planck time to the eon, how time is fractioned.

@monsoon0 Lake George?

Do you know where I am now ? #mathematicallife

@Rainmaker1973 For the same reason that Gauss was able to calculate the sum of the first 100 numbers quickly as a school boy.

Do you know why 13? [📹 condsty]

@susie_dent And what is it for anyone who has heard it? 😜

For anyone who hasn’t heard it, to ‘hurkle-durkle’, from 19th-century Scots, is to linger under the covers of a warm bed long after it’s time to get up.

@Rainmaker1973 About a million years ago when I was in primary (elementary) school we used something called cuisenaire rods which were used in a similar way. Great for getting a good mental model of the integers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenair…

@Rainmaker1973 This was done with spectacular result in a 60s science show (around midway through the video) youtube.com/watch?v=3s9psf…

Steel drum collapse experiment. The water in the barrel is heated at its boilling point and sealed. The ice lowers the temperature and the internal pressure decreases due to condensation: the atmospheric pressure causes it to collapse suddenly twitter.com/Solocuriosos_1…

Another paper published, written in conjunction with the wonderful people at the Maths Support Centre at UCD. This one is "Optimising the blend of in-person and online mathematics support: the student perspective" available (Open Access) doi.org/10.1080/002073…

Short notice but this seminar will be of interest to many. fyimaths.weebly.com/2/post/2023/03… via @weebly

@Yummymath As a mathematician I would expect the trailing 0 to be specified, however in nursing numeracy these are always omitted as they could lead to misinterpretation.

For the problem: Round 24.038 to the nearest tenth. If a student gave the answer of 24 would you mark them correct or wrong or partially correct? How about rounding to the thousandths & writing 24.040 #math #mathchat #mtbos #elemmath #iteachmath

@christianp We use the term "augmented matrix" when using row operations to solve a system of equations or to find the inverse of a matrix. In the first case the column vector of values for the equations is added in the second and identity matrix.

@hansmriess @MathType Or negative for that matter.

@MathType What happens when u or v is 0?

Here's a memory of high school calculus: Leibniz product rule, which allows to calculate the derivatives of products of functions in terms of the derivatives of each function. #MathType

@MathType This is fine as long as u and v are both positive definite functions, if not log(u) and or log(v) are not defined so the argument is not valid.

Here's a memory of high school #calculus: #Leibniz product rule, which allows to calculate the #derivatives of #products of functions in terms of the derivatives of each #function. #MathType

@ThreatNotation @alexmasso I remember a teacher telling me about a tuba student complaining about a boring part once, turns out he'd been given the bass drum part by mistake!
