@park_star@Trianglemancsd I can't make sense of it, but can explain the tally. You can nominate anyone (even if they don't want--like Hern) and vote for anyone even if not nominated. The 12 "others" were votes for Rep-Elect Donalds who had been nominated in previous rounds. Present is an abstention.
@truxtonstables @RiceAthletics @jppalmCBS I forgot Buffalo gets another crack next week (and will be favored) against Akron. And UL and USM both won. So need either Tennessee over Vandy or Pitt over Miami.
@truxtonstables @RiceAthletics @jppalmcbs Going into this week there were 9 bowl spots left. Mizzou, Miami (OH), UAB, and the App St/Ga Southern winner take 4, but now only 4 teams even possible left (UL, USM, Vandy, Miami). So Rice is guaranteed based on APR?! Or did I miss one?
@mpershan I believe @pgliljedahl is defining mimicking as specifically copying without thinking. And I don't believe you do that. From your writings it's clear that you are always thinking about and questioning those things you take from others.
So yesterday, after coming out of a rough spot, my wife @rabbicece saw an amazing rainbow over her lake. Less than 2 hours later, over 2,000 miles away, I saw a stunning rainbow over my mountain. How awesome is that?
Day 1 of Morning Math was so much fun. So many conjectures being debated, tested, and revised. Here's the direct link to the Morning Math problems...https://t.co/mUjsVSFHaI
Hello #iteachmath#MTBoS and #PCMITLP alums! If you want to do math along with your friends at Park City Math Institute Teacher Leadership Program this summer, visit https://t.co/BfY8J18HKg, click on Resources ==> Morning Math. We just had a lovely Day #1! @bowenkerins@CAnalytic
@Mathowitz @jamestanton@JenniferWathall@GlobalMathProj Well, I think in terms of circles and not triangles, but the point about thinking of secant in terms of cosine still holds. As I said, though, the conflict however is that the most common reason I use arcsecant is substitutions also involving tangent and square roots.
@Mathowitz @jamestanton@JenniferWathall@GlobalMathProj Oops. I meant it would be nice if arccos(1/x) = arcsec(x) which would call for range of arcsec being 0 to pi (except pi/2), but the tan issue wants it to be 0 to pi/2 and pi to 3pi/2.
@Mathowitz @jamestanton@JenniferWathall@GlobalMathProj Which leads to question of how to best define arcsec. On the one hand it would be nice if cos(arcsec 1/x) was x. On the other hand, it wold be nice if tan(arcsec x) was positive. But can't have both. Must choose. (I vote for latter, but not a "natural" call)
@peterrowlett Agree it's no prism as there aren't parallel bases, but you could form it as a triangular prism with oblique rectangular pyramids attached at each end.
@MrLarrieu @bowenkerins Two of the increases are percentages, but the other two are a flat increase or decrease of $20 so it's addition and not multiplication.
