My sister had to do some artwork for school, and she decided to make some\ncurved shapes out of lines. It looks pretty cool (although it would have been\neven better with pencil I think, but she wouldn’t listen, and I’m too lazy to\ndo it myself right now), and making curves out of just<\/em> lines, well, I find\nthat pretty fancy. But I wondered what the curves actually were… Circles?\nParabolas? Ellipses? Something different?<\/p>"},{"title":"Go Order of Operation Matters","link":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/go-order-of-operation-matters\/","pubDate":"Sat, 07 Dec 2019 10:00:06 +1100","guid":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/go-order-of-operation-matters\/","description":"

In Go, two mathematically equivalent expression can yield different result\nbased on the order in which you do things!

If you studied physics, one of the first things you probably did was graph the\n“motion” of objects. That is the displacement, velocity, and acceleration at\nan instant t<\/em>. Didn’t it remind you of a mathematical concept?<\/p>"},{"title":"Length of a curve","link":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/length-of-a-curve\/","pubDate":"Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:31:45 +1100","guid":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/length-of-a-curve\/","description":"

After misunderstanding a question in physics, I thought I had to calculate the\nlength of a curved trajectory (ie. the distance) instead of just the straight\nline (ie. the displacement). Turns out it was the easy option, but I now wanted\nto know how to get the length of a curve. I mean, it’d just be summing up\nan infinite number of straight lines, which is almost exactly what integration\nis…<\/p>"},{"title":"How to combine svgs","link":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/combine-svgs\/","pubDate":"Sun, 08 Oct 2017 17:18:21 +1100","guid":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/combine-svgs\/","description":"

If you want your website to be fast, you should limit the number of http\nrequests. A great way of doing that is combining your images. If you use SVGS\nfor your icons and stuff like that, here’s how you can combine all your icon in\none big file, and use them in your website!<\/p>"},{"title":"Bash's find command","link":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/bashs-find-command\/","pubDate":"Sun, 24 Sep 2017 07:51:15 +1000","guid":"https:\/\/math2001.github.io\/article\/bashs-find-command\/","description":"

The find<\/code> command in bash is quite powerful, and knowing the basics might save\nyou some scripting.<\/p>\n

What does it do? It “finds” files. By default, it outputs their path relative to\nwhere you ran find<\/code>. But, in addition of providing you with advanced “filters”\nit actually allows you to run commands on each of those files.<\/p>"}]}}
