@benniekara 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'll get on it once the move is finished.

Excuses, excuses.

@Mr_n_wood it was as good as I thought it would be. Lots of oohs and ahs and "wait! Miss! Look!".

Ada Lovelace died #OTD in 1852, at the age of 36. In her 1843 supplement to Babbage’s Analytical Engine, simply titled Notes, she outlined four essential concepts that would shape the birth of modern computing a century later. #WomenInSTEM
@benniekara I need it to stay November for a bit longer, please 🤣😬. Too much to do on the house and tempus is fugiting too quickly.

Here's a maths fact that I find surprisingly useful in everyday life.

Suppose you have a long thin right-angled triangle, say with sides 1 and ε. Then Taylor expanding Pythagoras' Theorem gives that the hypotenuse is approximately 1 + ε²/2. Since ε is small, ε²/2 is tiny. So the hypotenuse is basically the same length as the side!

I'll give some examples of places where this comes up. Would love to hear others! (1/2)

@Mr_n_wood I love teaching that! I have differentiation from first principles tomorrow. Cannot wait.
