For any maths teachers out there looking for some inspiration to bring technology into the classroom, make sure you check out my talk with @maplemathmatters on Maple Learn. I've found it incredibly useful for bringing to life the Oxford undergraduate calculus course with 3D graphs and interactive exercises - find out how it all works in the video at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile) #tomrocksmaths #maplesoft #maplelearn
The next stop on our journey into the mathematical universe with TRM intern Charlie is a 4D world where colour gradients are as important as positions in 3D space... Learn about the incredible properties of Quaternions and the story of their discovery by William Hamilton in 1847 at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile) #tomrocksmaths #quaternions #complexnumbers
The second stop on our journey across the mathematical universe is ‘Fluid Planet’. The whole surface of the gas giant is in a constant state of motion which means partial differential equations (PDEs) are key to modelling this alien world… Find out more about the ‘Heat Equation’ in the latest article from TRM intern Charlie Ahrendts at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile) #tomrocksmaths #fluiddynamics #heatequation
Last day skiing today so obviously had to pose for a photo… The highest point on the mountain is 719m, with a 65% drop to the bottom of the resort where this sign is located. At what height was this photo taken? #tomrocksmaths #finland #yllas
Stop 1 on our journey into the mathematical universe is 'Positivity Planet'. These friendly aliens don't have the concept of negative numbers - much like the Ancient Civilizations of Earth - and so have to use other clever methods when it comes to modelling things such as projectile motion… Read more at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile) #tomrocksmaths #negativenumbers #mathematicaluniverse
Aurora Borealis at KP index 2. The sky was crystal clear but the moon was the brightest I’ve ever seen - this was taken without a flash! The KP number system is a scale of geomagnetic activity which gives you a measure of how strong the Northern Lights will be. It ranges from 0 to 9 with a KP index of 7 meaning they’d be visible as far down as Oxford. #tomrocksmaths #northernlights #aurora
