Tattoo #35 - Maxwell’s Equations of Electromagnetism. Taking the curl of the first two equations, and combining with the second two equations (zero divergence conditions in a vacuum), results in both the Electric Field E and the Magnetic Field B satisfying the wave equation. This is how mathematicians showed that light is a wave. Mind-blowing. #tomrocksmaths #maxwell #electromagnetism
NEW VIDEO: I learn to play guitar following the Guitar Fundamentals course by @mikeboydvideo.

The final instalment in the Cube Root of 2 series of articles from TRM intern Chenying Liu shows us how to construct the length using nothing more than a ruler and compass. Follow along for yourself to see if you can succeed where even the great Plato failed… Read all of the articles at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile) #tomrocksmaths #cuberoot #plato
