Much of my work involves discrete event simulation. Where a simulation advances, in discrete jumps, from one “interesting” point in time (called an. In particular– and the question that motivated this post– what is. And why does my simulation need to know about it? This protocol can help to understand. The end re...

On science, mathematics, and computing. Monthly Archives: June 2015. June 21, 2015. I often need to display or record output of floating-point values, in a human-readable decimal format. This is easy enough in most programming languages… unless you need the representation to be one-to-one, so that distinct finite values always produce distinct output. … Continue reading →.

Making Math fun and accessible. Math contest problem links. David Reimer – Inspired by Math #35. I love novel ways of looking at arithmetic. I'm fascinated with how computers compute in binary, with tricks for simplifying calculations and with how Vedic mathematicians handle difficult arithmetic efficiently. So, when Princeton University Press sent me a review copy of their new book " Count Like An Egyptian. We discussed these questions plus some nice tangents! How much time did you spend unraveling its ...

Making Math fun and accessible. Math contest problem links. Maria Droujkova – Inspired by Math #24. Maria and I met a few years ago at a science conference and spent hours sharing our love of sharing math. Maria is starting what I call a "mass math movement." She is changing the story of how infants and toddlers can relate to math. The kickstarter project that launched the Moebius Noodles book is just the beginning. This is very exciting stuff. From the Moebius Noodles About page. As parents, we are inte...
