CorydorasEthan Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Wow I haven't learned Euclidean geometry yet. I don't really enjoy math, but I am pretty okay at it. Right now I'm in my Freshman year taking Algebra II. I like history and science a lot more than math. 2

Competed at State tournaments before, etc. As a subject matter, it’s satisfying to find and prove balances in equations, and the logic of Euclidean geometry has a lot of connected purposes and values. 3

Wow nice! Although I haven't participated in any math competitions, but I do regularly participate in the Science Olympiad competitions. 1

Here's to anyone interested in watching a fish nerd "Nermsplaining Math" 🤓 Loved reading Euclid at St. John's. Never thought I liked geometry until I saw the procedural and logical basis for it. I'm sure you've seen similar proofs for 1.47, but I'll never get sick of it: 2
Kirsten Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 But I gotta say, after a year or two of worshipping Euclid, Lobachevsky really rocked my world. "But...what IF parallel line DID meet at some point, mm? Just...hypothetically...like on the surface of a sphere, say." 1

(As a former school teacher who is married to a mathematician and currently a moderator on a forum of writers, I really really like this song. 😁) 1 1
