And, ...Did you see the Num3ers episode about this? <br />And, have you read "A mathmatician's Lament"?<br />I think you would like them both.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217282962233011656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-81931875873117160602010-08-08T23:13:02.212-04:002010-08-08T23:13:02.212-04:00I know you all may have negative episodic memories...I know you all may have negative episodic memories of math.

I first heard about Fibonacci numbers when I started homeschooling and I wondered "Why didn't they teach us about cool stuff like this in school??" I was trained to think of math as a form of drill, not as a living, 3-dimensional thing existing in the universe. <br /><br />When you look at patterns in nature, it really is like seeing God's fingerprints all over the world. :-)<br /><br />I'm still not in love with math, but I'm gradually learning. No longer a "math atheist" -- maybe an open-minded math agnostic?Stephaniehttp://laughingstars.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-13401112222196945292010-08-07T20:41:43.307-04:002010-08-07T20:41:43.307-04:00I hate math.
