  • I believe math was created, not discovered. And our application of math is to quantify works of the divine.
  • Bernoulli trials. Probability based world. Binomial distribution. Independent trials vs. expected independent trials to achieve a certain outcome. Your system matters. What is our system today? Independent trial fallacy vs. probabilistic world.
  • Force diagrams. Seeing optimizations and force distributions.
  • Karnaugh mapping. Ridiculous process for simplification.
  • Virtualization. Typically with large systems, making assumptions in superposition is awesome.
  • Units. Unit theory and abstraction.
  • Iterative math. 9/11 forensics example. Outrunning our shadow.
  • Newton's law of thermal heating and cooling. Heat transfer is such an important part of daily life.
  • Leonardo da Vinci tensile strength tests on iron wires of various lengths. The more you add, the more you allow to fail.
  • Force transfer. Think of a force diagram of a tower and the triangular needs.
  • The word 'miracle' should exist in both the English language and the mathematical languages — and to some extent it does, we just don't like to admit it. Entropy.
