I’d say, yes.

The Math Kid
A collection of mathematical fascinations, not strictly limited to the subject itself but also people's interactions and interpretations. My curiosity for the subject is infinite, but I try to stay away from the sciences. The thrill lies in the purity, not the application.

Vi Hart discusses the paradox presented one of my previous posts, Troll Math. She explains this better than anything I’ve read so far. Measure theory and the oddities of infinity nicely wrap up this apparent contradiction.

Given n identical circles, the problem is to find the smallest circle they can all fit into. For n up to 10, the exact answers are known- and this animation shows the best known solutions up to 50 circles.

About
Recreational mathematician and aspiring teacher. Grew up a math nerd and consider the subject a major part of my identity. Fascinated by just about everything. Here's hoping this blog will open me up to some more creative outlets. That might be good for me at this juncture in my life :)
