@martynware @Mammabell15 Disagree even though I’m Scottish and love your synth work. The game was the very essence of joy, like a childhood dream.

[Neil Finlayson @neilfinlayson]

A lovely, astonishing game like those memories from childhood. Nothing much at stake other than joy. 😍

Historian Michael Wood takes us to a coffeehouse in Kars, Turkey, where a traditional bard (aşıks) performs the “Epic of Köroğlu.” As seen in 1979’s “In Search of the Trojan War.”

“The reason people run with the ball is cuz they don’t see the picture early enough “ this is why I laugh when they say Adam Wharton can’t run or cover ground ,,He really sees 2 passes ahead before the ball gets to him ,football is first 🧠 ,then legs

@northumbriana as per the question my pal Malky once asked Joey Ramone in a lift at the Glasgow Uni QM Union, is it true that Dan Burn is 17 feet tall?

And indeed between the Newtonian and Laplacian views of the conservation of energy.

At this World Cup England and France look set to revisit the long-standing argument between the Newtonian and Lagrangian views of the calculus.

@euanmccolm @scotonsunday My sympathies Euan I get these too. Very intense pain! Stretches every day like clockwork seems to help …

Hey Scottish footballers welcome back and don’t be downhearted. Each day, each moment is an opportunity you will have plenty more in life.

[Neil Finlayson @neilfinlayson]

Important to remember that 74 was our only good year at the World Cup. 78 was a fiasco, 82 poor, 86 was terrible (Ferguson did not do a good job), 90 the decline was very evident, 98 we were useless. There’s a clear pattern, even though we’ve had good individual players.

A Glasgow pal has argued for years that we don’t love football as much as we say we do …

As Jock Wallace used to say, ‘Never mind the ball, get on with the game!’

@BBCSportScot @MsLMG79 McTominay is covering too much ground and not showing enough composure. Calm down. Stay upfield. Choose your moment. Then strike.

@kmckenna63 @jonnyrmcfarlane Not sure that Scotland have sufficient agency on the field to go either murderball or gung-ho. Mostly they react.

However, the actual sequence lengths for the first few orders are smaller than previously stated:

Dearie me.

[Neil Finlayson @neilfinlayson]

“No, the list of values provided in the previous answer contains errors, though the mathematical formula itself is completely accurate.
The correct formula for the number of terms in a Farey sequence of order \(n\) is indeed \(\vert{}F_n\vert{} = 1 + \sum_{k=1}^{n} \phi(k)\).
