Mathography

I never really liked math. It has always been my worst subject. I'm not saying this with intent to sound cynical. Hopefully I don't come across as such. I've always gotten A's and B's with little effort in all my classes, but I always found myself struggling to maintain a B-. It was almost a battle everyday I had Math just so I wouldn't drop to a C+. 

Any day I had Algebra seemed like a bad day. My teacher didn't seem to care, along with all the kids in my class. To be honest, at times I found myself not caring also. But I knew if I didn't want this class next year I would have to put away all of my apathy for the next 90 minutes and get things done. 

Now that I'm out of Algebra, I hope that this year in Geometry will be way better. I have a class full of people that I like, whether I knew them until I had this class or not, and a teacher who has a very unique approach to teaching math. I always heard people like Geometry more than Algebra, and from what I can tell, I feel that way too. 

Flatland Chapter 2 Summary

In chapter two the author discusses the bizarre infrastructure of Flatland. There is no sense of direction, almost in direct correlation to there being no sun. The civilians of Flatland are being oppressed by only being allowed to have a house with five angles with a city of more than 10,000. Rural areas often have square houses though, and triangle buildings are only reserved for government buildings and military. 

Flatland Chapter One Summary

The story Flatland is told by the shape of a square. Strange, I know. The setting is in Flatland, the name the narrator chose to give his world. In here, he describes a two dimensional world where everything are shapes. There are no shadows, only shapes. If you were to live in Flatland, you would only see lines, but from a bird's eye view you can see a world of shapes.
