That Morris Kline quote reminds me of a book that I had enjoyed some years ago, "Arithmetic for Parents" by Ron Aharoni. The author goes from teaching college-level mathematics to introducing arithmetic to elementary school children. [1of4]

Throughout most of the book, he notes the physical meanings behind basic operations (e.g.: "subtraction" as either a separation of one amount from another, or a comparison, a "difference" betweeen two things without removal). [2of4]

It is very basic, but it renewed my love for applied mathematics and is a nice example of how tightly our abstractions can correspond to more familiar life experiences. Becoming aware of those relationships seems like a good way to develop a strong "mathematical intuition". [3of4]

Another really good example of this is the work of Saunders MacLane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics,_Form_and_Function#Mathematics_and_human_activities I would love to read the book that this table is derived from someday. [4of4]

Thanks for bringing up Aharoni's book - I'll have to give it a read. And that table from Mac Lane looks fascinating, I think it ties in surprisingly well to Morris Kline's overarching claim, that the origins and even the present motivation of mathematics were/are anything but abstract.

it wasn’t the cache. honestly, i put some stuff in the wrong place. I'm still not 100% happy because I still have something weird with the images, but I'm going to leave like that. I'm just too tired.

the first piece of the three men on your art page is nicely done! It almost looks like cubism era art.

Very short blog post on the hotty-fication of the Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days comic site. Only new thing is a character page I wrote up for that site with more info on Antonio, Alejandro and a bit on Layla and Alia: https://starlitseas.neocities.org/anotherskyblog/tpatablog15

I guess I might as well share why the inactivity for the past year or so. It mostly has to do with my father's health and that he has been in and out of the hospital several times since October. As such, I am his caretaker. I still watch anime and film, but I have not been keeping notes. The Edgerunners review will be complete, then the Mai-HiME review, then Initial D, Crayon Shin-Chan and possibly Golgo 13, [1/2]

but this might take some years to do. I am sorry, I thought it would be one instance and an absence for a short while, but I guess that is not the case. Just know that I am in support of everyone's website and while I am gone, I have not abandoned the website or any of your websites either. [2/2] [End].

Oh yeah, I might update the website later with more work on the Cyberpunk review, but no promises.
