Stay Home

I would like to mathematically demonstrate how important it is to stay home in times like these. My article will be a very short version of the cite below. Let’s start with a simple task:

Begin by asking how a rumor might spread among a population. Suppose on Day 1 a single person tells someone else a rumor, and suppose that on every subsequent day, each person who knows the rumor tells exactly one other person the rumor. Have students ponder, discuss and answer questions like: “How many days until 50 people have heard the rumor? 100 people? The whole school? The whole country?Exponential Outbreaks: The Mathematics of Epidemics

Introduction and formalization of Boolean algebra

Recently I’ve been teaching my friend boolean algebra for their exams at university. Some exercises included simplifying boolean expressions. While teaching them, I noticed that we mostly relied on the transformation rules and almost mechanically simplified expressions (M of MIU, remember? :))

In this post, we will formalize this algebra and prove some properties about it.
