7/20/2015


Day 1

Today we learned about the Greek mathematician Hypatia, who was basically murdered later in her life for not being like the other women. Today we also learned about venn diagrams and sets. we got to play an awesome game called Set, which is one of my favorites. we learned about polynomials and polynomiography (and a bunch of other long words too). I have made a lot of new friends so far, and so far, math camp rocks!


Polynomiography:



  This one is my friend Eleanor's name!

Day 2
    Today we learned about the first "programmer," Ada Byron Lovelace. We also got to learn about the platonic solids, and we got to build them. My favorite was the icosahedron. We learned about Paschal's Triangle and other cool number tricks. We got to do the second part of our Math Olympiad, one of my favorite parts of the day.

More polynomiography!!!
