I just didn't take to it. Funny how Maths sounds like Meths - especially when a New Zealander says it. I agree that Maths CAN be viewed as fun but only if the onlooker is mentally deranged. Thank heavens for calculators that mean that Maths is now unnecessary for 99% of the planet's population.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-24632452734892920352013-04-22T10:15:24.424+12:002013-04-22T10:15:24.424+12:00Maths can be viewed as fun.

As far as the written words that accompany the pretty pictures, however, I had absolutely no idea what they meant. I do know what a Mobius strip is, but that's about all. By the way, <i>Kinderszenen</i> means "children scenes".... <br /><br /><br />rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-57307145191389122532013-04-21T23:48:39.264+12:002013-04-21T23:48:39.264+12:00I wish that too Adrian. - well, somewhere between...I wish that too Adrian. - well, somewhere between your wish and Geeb's.<br /><br />Fi, I expect it has lots of exes, whys and zeds, with a generous sprinklings of sins, coses and cees too. <br /><br />Geeb.

I couldn't trace it on musopen.org. The piece usually called <i>From Foreign Lands and People</i> is one of Schuman's Kinderszenen Op 15. None of that has anything to do with the mathematics but having started I had to finish.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-46599718511500591482013-04-21T22:11:23.714+12:002013-04-21T22:11:23.714+12:00I should add that Peter Samuels' music complem...I should add that Peter Samuels' music complemented it perfectly.
