I'm thrilled about this one -- hoping I can bring something original to the table. (My degree's in math.)

For inspiration, I think the Pi challenges are the closest thing we've had:

Pi

Pi II

Okay, here's my original idea, and I don't want anyone copying this novel idea:

"I see somebody standing in front of a chalkboard full of complicated looking algebra."

I thought of it first...hehehehe!

At least it's not a woody challenge!

Before you fill that chalkboard with "complicated looking algebra" make sure it's something substantial -- or at least correct! I see a lot of bad math going up just for the visual, and I suspect I won't be the only one put off by it. I'll be grading -- er, I mean, voting in this one.

Wonder if a shot of my income tax form would count? Makes my brain hurt just to look at it.

Math is not my strong suit, but there are some alternate numbering systems involved with computers and networks. I have (what I think is) a good idea for this one. I like it when I come up with my idea early in the week, so I have time to work out the details. It'll be another opportunity to work on improving my lighting skills.

Hey, that's a prime number.

No pressure Jan, but I'm expecting something really good from you in this challenge.

Personally I would like to see a quadratic equation

I should warn you not to go too deep in math. Anything beyond Calculus would probably stretch it ;p

Do you mean that people won't understand, and therefore mark your image down?

That's right. If I can't solve the equation in your entry, I'll go ballistic and slap it with a 1. ;-)

Just kidding. So was Gotaka I suspect. Just have fun with it. ...as fun as the subject of math can allow anyway. :)

Oh, great. I have way too many 'good' ideas for this challenge, which seems to be a bad sign for me. I get attached to an idea, then when I don't have the skill to execute it I can't drop it (and submit anyway). My 'morning' result started with a 4!

Errr...what does 1 + 1 = ?

1+1=11 yea definately 11.... :)

so simple 1 + 1 = 1

That's the problem with DPC voters... can't get clearer than this :/

Well in Binary it would be:

1+1= 10 :)

In binary 1+1=1 again, 1+0=0 as does 0+0. Binary addition is very pessimistic.

Here are some LEADS/IDEAS.
I hope this is the Forum-Thread to put them in.

There is a HUGE amount of math put into most everything around you.
Just ask a someone in the following professions:
Math teacher, Engineer, All Sciences, All Medical, Demographics (Presidential polls), Any professions/businesses that involved $$-Money (Finance/Stocks/Sales/Accounting).

Counting, calculating, accumulating, predicting.Don't count your chickens before they hatch. A penny saved is a penny not well invested. Your DPC averages are calculated mathematically, by microscopic "Calculating machines". Post-processing Pixels and calculation exposures.

It was started by the cave-men, and has continued since.
The world would barely exist without Mathematics.

I agree with you on that, but Mathematics was derived mostly from physics. Newton practically invented calculus with his physics equations.
