I would love to know who they were and why. Terence Tao confirmed that he was not Cleo. Some people thought it was Hawking, or Ramanujan reborn. Just excellent work.</p> 2024-07-05T15:31:04Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2011-05/2665/ <p><a href="http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/math-for-programmers.html">math for programmers</a> makes a lot of good points. i just need a way to track my wikipedia usage and claim it as 'studying'</p> 2011-05-10T00:02:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2010-04/2521/ <p>there's <a href="http://www2.stetson.edu/~efriedma/numbers.html">something special</a> about most numbers. lots to learn</p> 2010-04-26T17:06:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2007-06/1302/ <p>a wooden binary <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDshWmhF4A">adder</a>? too cool [via hammond]</p> 2007-06-29T18:48:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2007-01/1259/ <p>a <a href="http://www.scottaaronson.com/writings/bignumbers.html">interesting article</a> on huge numbers [via xkcd]</p> 2007-01-15T08:22:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2005-11/1095/ <p><a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/574321/replies?c=6">pie are square?</a> two pie are. and three pie are cube!</p> 2005-11-20T22:17:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2004-07/330/ <p>the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number">wikipedia page</a> on surreal numebrs makes for interesting reading.</p> 2004-07-26T21:32:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/) http://www.iamcal.com/2004-07/241/ <p>this is a <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~mrob/pub/math/numbers-3.html">nice piece</a> on highly composite numbers.</p> 2004-07-13T18:59:00Z Cal Henderson (http://www.iamcal.com/)
