New Shoes | Writing Formulas on My Shoes | DIY | LThMath
A new pair of shoes! This time I went with a little bit of a theme on the formulas. I hope you enjoy the video; it actually took 1 hour to write of these and the video is on x4 speed ^_^

8th post for the Women in Mathematics
Wang Zhenyi (1768–1797) was a scientist from the Qing dynasty. She breached the feudal customs of the time, which hindered women's rights, by arduously working to educate herself in subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, geography, and medicine.
Zhenyi mastered trigonometry and knew the Pythagorean theorem. She wrote an article called "The Explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem and Trigonometry,". She admired the mathematician Mei Wending (1633–1721 A.D.). He was famous in the early Qing dynasty and wrote the book, "Principles of Calculation". Wang Zhenyi became a master of this book, even rewriting it with simpler language, and made it available to others under the title, "The Musts of Calculation". She was very dedicated in her study of mathematics and wrote a book called "The Simple Principles of Calculation" when she was twenty-four. Her studies were difficult and she once said, "There were times that I had to put down my pen and sigh. But I love the subject, I do not give up."

When Emmy Noether was young, she loved dancing and “used to look forward to family parties”.

10th and last post on Women in Mathematics
I kept my favorite mathematician for the last 🖤 Amalie Emmy Noether – known for her groundbreaking contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
Described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl, Norbert Wiener and others as the most important woman in the history of mathematics, she revolutionized the theories of rings, fields, and algebras.

2nd post on Women in Mathematics series
Marjorie Lee Browne was a noted mathematics educator. She was one of the first African-American women to receive a Ph.D in mathematics. After receiving her doctorate, Browne was unable to keep a teaching position at a research institution. As a result of this she worked with secondary school mathematics teachers, instructing them in "modern math." She focused especially on encouraging math education for minorities and women.
Browne's work on classical groups demonstrated simple proofs of important topological properties of and relations between classical groups. Her work in general focused on linear and matrix algebra.
Throughout her career, Browne worked to help gifted mathematics students, educating them and offering them financial support to pursue higher education. In 1974 she was awarded the first W. W. Rankin Memorial Award from the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics for her work with mathematics education.

9th post on Women in Mathematics
Katherine Johnson (August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. During her 35-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks.
Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths for Project Mercury spaceflights, including those for astronauts Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and John Glenn, the first American in orbit, and rendezvous paths for the Apollo Lunar Module and command module on flights to the Moon.
In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2016, she was presented the Silver Snoopy Award by NASA astronaut Leland D. Melvin and a NASA Group Achievement Award. She was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson as a lead character in the 2016 film Hidden Figures. In 2019, Johnson was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
Area of the Koch Snowflake | ThMath Advent Calendar
December is the best month to play with creating different types of snowflakes. So in today's video I wanted to calculate the area of the Koch Snowflake. This is just me trying it out for the first time, so if you spot a mistake let me know in the comment box bellow. Also you will see me getting way to excited for the answer I get ^_^

Day 24 | LThMath Advent Calendar
Last day of the Advent Calendar!! Thank you for your patience and support. Keep loving and enjoying the beauty of mathematics. Make sure you share your love for mathematics with the people around you.
Have a wonderful magical festive season!
Ioana ^_^
Day 23 | LThMath Advent Calendar
A day before the Christmas Eve and I had to share some Christmas Maths Carols. They are so funny and I think they could sound great.
Day 19| LThMath Advent Calendar
I play quiet a number of games during the year and I wanted to share one game with you that at first glance doesn't look like it is mathematics related.
To my surprise, while randomly searching for a good puzzle game, I found Monument Valley. It took me 10 minutes to fell in love with this game completely. Also, I have spent all a full weekend to finish this game (I played a lot) and since then I have played the game three times already (and will probably play again). I don’t want to say anything about it, just a couple of images will make you understand why I got so excited. All the images bellow are from the first couple of levels:
Day 21 | LThMath Advent Calendar
In today's post I want to share one fiction book that has presented mathematics nicely. I am a huge fan of science-fiction fantasy books and of course this book is this category.
Day 16| LThMath Advent Calendar The time for a little puzzle :) I hope you will enjoy it, don't hesitate to share your answer with us. This puzzle is from Amusements in Mathematics by Henry Ernest Dudeney, published in 1917.
"Cut the pudding into two parts, each of exactly the same size and shape, without touching any of the plums. The pudding is to be regarded as a flat disc, not as a sphere." Send us messages with your solution or comment bellow. You can use the photo bellow or create your own drawing.
Day 15| LThMath Advent Calendar
Another a bit on the historical day, but I have to mention the day for the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. From a very young age, Algebra has always been my favourite part of mathematics. This is another post that is just so dear to me not to mention.
Making Snowflakes | LThMath Advent Calendar
December is the best month to play with creating different types of snowflakes. Even though snowflakes are not actually symmetrical, I believe it is quite interesting to create shapes with a 6-fold radial symmetry. Making them intricate, beautiful complex shapes is an awesome extra addition.

Day 14 | LThMath Advent Calendar
In today's post I wanted to share a little creative way of showing some digits of e. The number e, also known as Euler's number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828, and can be characterized in many ways. When used as the base for a logarithm, we call that logarithm the natural logarithm and write it as lnx. This is another interesting mathematical constants.
A little bit of self promotion in here, I have used this design to create a little design that you can add to different items, such as T-shirts, hoddies, mugs, tote bags and a little sticker. If you enjoy the design, take a look at our Teespring shop.
