y of x: ABBA = ABBA
http://yofx.blogspot.com/2009/07/abba-abba.html
The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. I was dragged to an ABBA. Tribute concert last Friday night. I'm regrettably familiar with ABBA's music, Mama Mia. Veteran (even the sing-a-long), but it was the first time I realized the band's name is a palindrome. It is also the first time the name reminded me of a rhyme scheme. Two revelations, one night.) What is the real origin of the name? Reminder YofX will be moving to www.yofx.org. In 6 days on 7/20*. Geek of the Week.

The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. I'm a junkie for any kind of graph/chart, and recently found NameTrends.net. Links to this post. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. When will I use math in the real world? Memorize all these equations. There'll be a quiz next class. Links to this post. Monday, December 15, 2008. My Hero, Zero. Links to this post. Friday, December 12, 2008. Online. I'm really blown away. I would love to use this in one of my courses. Let me know if any of ...

y of x: Which Mathematical Function Are You?
http://yofx.blogspot.com/2009/07/which-mathematical-function-are-you.html
The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Which Mathematical Function Are You? Lee tipped me off on a great Facebook time-waster: the Which Mathematical Function Are You. Lee is apparently the Riemann zeta-function. I'm curious how many functions the quiz outputs. Let me know what you got in the comments. Reminder YofX will be moving to www.yofx.org. In 4 days on 7/20*. I usually skip the FB quizzes, but this one appealed to my nerdy side. Funny enough, I was Gaussian also!

y of x: Something to Show Your Algebra Classes
http://yofx.blogspot.com/2009/07/something-to-show-your-algebra-classes.html
The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Friday, July 10, 2009. Something to Show Your Algebra Classes. I actually found a reference to variation. That isn't in a text book. The Wired Science blog had a post on high-altitude wind. Generation (pretty interesting in its own right). They describe the relationship between wind speed and power generated like this. I wonder how many of the students I tortured with variation would remember what it means if they read this article? Geek of the Week.

y of x: A Mathematician Goes on Vacation 6
http://yofx.blogspot.com/2009/07/mathematician-goes-on-vacation-6.html
The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Friday, July 17, 2009. A Mathematician Goes on Vacation 6. This is the last real post to this site. Next week yofx officially moves to a new home: www.yofx.org. This site will remain up as an archive for us to refer back to. I guess the minus sign in braille is the two adjacent horizontal dots that precede the number? I searched trying to confirm this but I couldnt find anything (if you find a link let me know).

http://yofx.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The Unofficial Tunxis Math Department Blog. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. I just got done with a round of midterms. I'm always fascinated by the scribbles students write on their test. My favorite scribble among the recently corrected is a student that got a little over zealous when checking his answer. I'm always harping on students to check. I say it so many times I'm even sick of hearing it. Well, I finally reached someone. Boo-yah! Links to this post. Monday, March 30, 2009. Pic by flowers and machinery.
