Gwen Fisher<p>One of my favorite things about teaching <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> to children is getting to be the first person to tell them that we have a number called, “gross.”</p>
Thorsten Suckow-Homberg<p>My latest article delves into vector rotations as a specialized class of linear transformations, addressing their theoretical underpinnings in 2D and 3D.

gclef<p>The broad mechanism behind what will happen if we don't change our ways is straightforward. "If we keep on pumping carbon into the atmosphere, the oceans will keep on warming, sea ice will retreat, ice shelves will collapse, and the Antarctic ice sheet will melt into the Southern Ocean."</p><p>What we don't know is exactly how and when this will play out, and whether it might be reversible. "This is fiendishly difficult. It requires that we understand the feedback [mechanisms] between the different components of the Southern Ocean."</p><p><a href="https://plus.maths.org/content/lungs-earth" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">plus.maths.org/content/lungs-e</span><span class="invisible">arth</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Math</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a></p>

vrtxd<p>Hands down the best mnemonic for Celsius-Fahrenheit conversions:</p><p>Ten is fifty minus forty.</p><p>That's it.<br>• Ten is fifty: 10°C = 50°F<br>• Minus forty: –40°C = –40°F<br>• Math checks out: 10=50–40<br>• Obtain any other values by deducing: since increasing from –40°C up to 10°C (+50°C) is equal to increasing from –40°F up to 50°F (+90°F), every ±5°C change means ±9°F change.</p><p>So if you ever need to deal with <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Celsius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Celsius</span></a> or <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Fahrenheit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fahrenheit</span></a>, just remember: ten is fifty minus forty.</p><p><a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Engi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Engi</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Math</span></a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/STEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>STEM</span></a></p>
