Norman Wildberger on Levelling Up Your Musicianship

When I was trying, some time in 1992, to level up my mathematics, I started to think about why squaring any rational was a piece of cake, and so you could draw the graph of x-squared almost without effort, but drawing the graph of  the square root of x was really hard, unless you just geometrically flipped the graph of x-squared about the line y=x. It turns out that's a long story, ... David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History and Eugenia Cheng on Monads, Monoids, Algebraic Theories and Models.

Norman's done quite a lot of music videos in his maths series:

See Chuck Berry's Weather Report December 10, 2020. At the time I wrote that post I had no idea of the Scottish history of Darien: The History Guy on Panama's Scottish History, nor of the Callawayas in Paname: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "The jam" (One more time with feeling). I did however know about Sean Connery's hat!

So who makes these rules? See Darz Rojas Talking About Creativity and Moritz Klein Doing Real Greek Lego.

If I learned this lesson, and if this sheet music is right, ... this is 12 bar blues in A:

Actually, I don't know whether that is right at all, and I have no idea of what a key sounds like.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
