A neat little skit from Abbot and Costello proving that 13 times 7 is 28.

Maths is hard. Thanks Jason.

Update: Here's another 13 times 7 is 28 bit from Abbot and Costello. I promise this one is different.

MATH

Guys, I hate math.

And how math practice exams are always a hundred times easier than the actual exam so when you take the actual exam, you are screwed. Yeah, I hate that.

Mirror Reflects Image Without Reversing It

posted by on 02.26.09 at 7:46 pm

andrewhicks_mirror

Andrew Hicks, a mathematician at Drexel University, used some of his math skills to make a mirror that reflects an image without reversing it.

It’s called a non-reversing mirror and the effect can be recreated pretty easily. Just take two mirrors and put them 90degrees to each other and look directly at them.

Hick’s mirror is slightly more complex because its all on one mirror. I think he uses some sorta parabolic math mumbo jumbo to make his. Either way, its pretty cool.
