Meta Boogie Math
What is Boogie Math? It is a collection of stories about a silly
guy who likes mathematics. And how his family, friends, and
neighbors see his ridiculous mathematical endeavors.
And what is Meta Boogie Math? Well, metamathematics is the study
of mathematical methods using mathematical methods. Meta Boogie
Math is nowhere as serious, though. One could say it features
stories about stories. So, in this section you will find a bit
of background to the texts that are to be found in the
categories below: Math Circle, Math History Circle, Notes, and
Fachidiots.
Math Circle
Well, this poor guy not only wanted to learn math; he wanted to
teach math too. In fact, he wanted to teach it to kids. Good
Lord, please save the kids!
He tried. The meetings were named Math Circle and lasted a bit
less than two years. Then the virus came, prevented all kind of
gatherings and saved the kids. In this section, you will find
writings about the struggles the poor guy experienced while
trying to teach.
Poor guy wants to learn some advanced math
How advanced is your math? Before Christ? After Christ? 17th
century? 19th century? This poor guy would love to learn some
20th-century abstract algebra and 21st-century cryptography.
Wish him luck. He will need it.
In this section, you will find highly boring notes that the poor
guy is making while studying.
Math History Circle
Not only kids, but this guy also wanted to teach math his
neighbors! Luckily, seniors are smart enough to have fun during
his useless lectures!
Yeah, here you will find reports of his meetings with seniors.
Fachidiots
Does this guy have friends? You wouldn’t believe it, but he
does. Except that they are poor fachidiots like himself. A
physicist. A mechanical engineer. An electrical engineer. A
software developer. No sane person could stand such a company!
They are trying to humanize themselves though. In their weekly
meetings, they try to talk about art and culture. Again, no sane
person would probably be interested in reading about their
discussions. Nevertheless, in this section you will find exactly
this.
And if you are wondering what a 'fachidiot' is – in German it
means something like 'narrow-minded specialist'. And that’s what
we are. At least the first part.
