Haversine & Morning Math at SudoRoom
Casual morning math sessions at our Oakland hackerspace
I love to build things, but I also like to be off the computer too doing healthy things like snowboarding and surfing. Art is important too.
FIRST SESSION OF MORNING MATH
This week we jumpstarted the Morning Math event at SudoRoom hackerspace after many years of dormancy. A low-pressure fun way to just deal with and talk about math, even for people who forgot everything to chill with people who are professional expert mathematician bears!
Whiteboard and Pencils First
The format is a bit different from most in that we try to stay away from screens as much as possible, browse as little internet and do not do any remote meetings or YouTube video watching. The focus isn't on eliminating technology but using it responsibly!
We also bring in the art supplies and (eventually) even might sew!
The sessions are quite short, so this telenovela began with a discussion of “what if”… what if we wanted to know the distance between SudoRoom hackerspace and Paris?????? on this round globe we live on called the Earth. It’s not like putting a line between two points on a flat math because… well the earth is round!!!!
