Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not…..� Thomas Henry Huxley

One more day

Calculator retrieved.  Whew!

Six hours of working on this device and one other, and still they are smiling:

One more day until the competition and they are ready.

UPDATE:   DS came away with 4 medals, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 5th and a 7th.  The one event he didn’t medal in was the one he was favored to take a first.  Oh well.  We know why he came in 15th and as with any competition you either win or it’s a character building event.  He had another character building event that day.

    I came across a book your cal-cu-head might like, it’s beyond me. It’s called,
    An Imaginary Tale:
    The Story of i [the square root of minus one]
    Paul J. Nahin

    But, I did like: Archimedes’ Revenge, the joys and perils of mathematics by Paul Hoffman.

    Enjoy!
