First of all, I ran across this item:
Which reminded me of this item:
Which reminded me of some great feedback from Randall Pruim, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Calvin College, who wasn’t impressed with the importance or mysteriousness of this particular sequence or the above video clip…but who also provided me with some papers, each with the words “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics” in the title:
- Wigner, E. (Feb., 1960). The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences. Communications in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Vol. 13(1). New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Retrieved at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/MathDrama/reading/Wigner.html.
- Hamming, R.W. (Feb., 1980). The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 87(2). pp. 81-90. Retrieved from http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~mduchin/UCD/111/readings/hamming.pdf
Anyway, I can’t say I understand all of this. But I believe God’s fingerprints are on many events, things, and changes that we experience — some of these things we see, but many are invisible.
May your Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter morning be especially meaningful this year for you and yours! Here’s to our Creator, Redeemer, and Friend!
Peace,

Interesting take on 3D printing…perhaps not just for manufacturing/engineering purposes…but perhaps artists will use these technologies.

- A Whole New Mind — by Daniel Pink
To survive in this age, individuals and organizations must examine what they’re doing to earn a living and ask themselves three questions:
1) Can someone overseas do it cheaper?
2) Can a computer do it faster?
3) Is what I’m offering in demand in an age of abundance? (p. 51)

Virtual Labs: Augmenting Learning — from CampusTechnology.com by Dian Schaffhauser
Colorado State University’s engineering department has taken its labs online to augment classroom activities and help students get their assignments done while away from campus.
There was a time when college science labs were limited to the space between four walls and furnished with thick, black tables, stools, and the equipment needed to conduct experiments and/or get assignments completed. Technology has since infiltrated these spaces, making them more state-of-the-art in nature, but students typically must be physically present in class in order to get the lab work done.
Colorado State University in Fort Collins has found a way around that glitch by developing a number of “virtual labs” across campus. Not meant to replace classroom instruction, the labs augment traditional learning by giving remote students access to the tools and information they need to complete their labs when they can’t be on campus.
…
To use the virtual labs, students need only a computer and Internet access. “They can get all of the software that they need to get the work done virtually,” said Ritschard, “even if they don’t have the latest and greatest laptop or computer.”
