πŸš€ "Orbital Data Centers: Because Math Needs a View!" 🀣 Amidst a cosmic quest to reinvent the wheel, we explore why shooting matrix multiplication 250 miles high might be the best worst idea since multiplying pi by infinity. Spoiler: the only thing higher than these data centers is the writer's ambition. πŸŒŒπŸ’»

Complex Number Book - Having Fun with Complex Numbers - A Real-Life Journey for Upper Elementary Students

This complex number book is based on the innovative work of deriving the imaginary unit and Euler formula from first principles. Complex numbers formed from imaginary numbers have widespread applications, but have remained puzzling to many learners. The work opens up the opportunity to explore, extend and share with the general public the newly gained comprehensive understanding of complex numbers for the thorough demystificatio, popularization and empowerment to broader educational levels.
