Math
Thoughts, ideas, and investigations using
science and mathematics. Since I was 12, I've thought of myself as a scientist.
As an adult I have strayed into business data processing, but my underpinings
are scientific.
I want clear, unambiguous axioms to reason from. I'm tempermentally
put-off by explanations that assume underlying mechanisms that are never
defined - where axioms must exist but you are expected to slowly uncover
the features of the solutions.
I understand, in some cases, that may be warranted,
but in others like computer
programming where teachers or authors or coworkers start using words
like real-time - which has various meanings in different contexts and
they don't pin down which they mean - and I hear one context is assumed
at the beginning of the discussion and another at the end. It gets my
hackles up.
If you see such sloppiness in my web book, I know you
won't hesitate to send me a comment.
