Math From Scratch 0003: Whole and Natural Numbers
Here it is, part three of many: Defining Whole (and Natural) Numbers.
Math From Scratch 0002: Set Theory
Part two in our tri-weekly series is here. This week’s topic: Set Theory. For past topic, click the “math from scratch” tag below. There will be too many of these to include links in every article.
Math From Scratch 0001: Relations
Bureau 42’s biggest educational project to date begins here. The ultimate goal: teach everything we possibly can in math from the ground up in a sequence of comprehensive lessons, released no more than three weeks apart. This project will likely take years. The first lesson, defining mathematical relations, is available here.
Summer School 2010.9: Quantum Physics
We conclude the 2010 summer school session with lesson nine, dealing with spin. You will also find more content after the break.
Summer School 2010.8: Quantum Physics
The penultimate lesson in our Summer School details how atoms come together.
Summer School 2010.7: Quantum Physics
Our lessons are coming to a close, but that also means they are approaching the modern view of quantum mechanics. This week, we go Down the Rabbit Hole.
Summer School 2010.6: Quantum Physics
We are at the two thirds mark of our summer school. This week’s lesson: Quanta, Quanta Everywhere.
Partial Linear Algebra Lessons
As mentioned last week, I wasn’t pleased with how the linear algebra summer school modules were turning out, so the project has mutated into something else entirely. Those who are interested can read the portions that were completed here. All intended content will eventually become a part of the Math From Scratch project, but as the first lesson was the only one I was really satisfied with in this format, I’m changing the plans. Consider this a preview of the “Math From Scratch” project that will start in early 2011.
Summer School 2010.5: Quantum Physics
The midpoint in our series on Quantum Mechanics is available here.
