Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 11, 2014, 09:46:33 PM Maths has always been like a foreign language to me. My secondary school maths teacher actually took me to one side one day & said You're obviously just never going to understand this. If you promise to sit quietly at the back of the room & not distract the other boys, I'll leave you alone & not ask you anything.
Basic adding, subtracting etc, that's my limit. Even now words like logarithm & trigonometry make my blood run cold. Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us.

Post by: klogan45 on February 12, 2014, 09:25:17 AM Hey Andy you are not the only one to have a teacher say that to him.....guess who else that happened to.....yep ME!!
I couldn't get a grip with maths at school, to be honest i wasn't that interested anyway, just wanted to do wood and metal work so only picked up the maths skills in later life, there are still things that i can't do,not always been a teacher i had loads of 'proper' jobs first. ;D Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us.

Even now words like logarithm & trigonometry make my blood run cold. We have a lot in common - I was hauled up in front of the class for not doing my Algebra homework. The teacher ranted "How do you expect to pass your algebra exam?" I said "I don't, Miss Smith" She looked at me, sighed, and said "Go and sit down." And in fact, the lack of algebra has never held me back! Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: klogan45 on February 12, 2014, 07:34:23 PM ALGEBRA ? Its all greek to me. ;D ;D
Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: klogan45 on February 12, 2014, 07:36:33 PM So.......... Where do mathematicians of no orientation go for a drink in the nude?
A moebeus strip club! :-[ Btw....im NOT a mathematician!!! Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: Tony oily bike on February 13, 2014, 10:42:52 AM Good old Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip says the following:
The Möbius strip or Möbius band (UK /ˈmɜrbiəs/ or US /ˈmoʊbiəs/; German: [ˈmøːbi̯ʊs]), also Mobius or Moebius, is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858. I'm guessing the name Möbius / Mobius is a bit unusual (at least in English speaking parts). So, just wondering if it was used as inspiration in the great Sci-Fi classic "Forbidden Planet", as the chap the spaceship crew finds on planet Altair IV is Dr Morbius............ I'll get me coat! Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: hornet6 on February 13, 2014, 08:57:13 PM Actually...forbidden planet is based around shakespears "The tempest"
From a sci-fi geek. Title: Re: One for the maths buffs among us. Post by: Olds on February 13, 2014, 09:28:52 PM Morbius is a name use in at least three sci fi areas and never in a good way. Forbidden planet, in Marvel comics as a vampire and in Dr Who as a malevolent time lord.
