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." |

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. |

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! |

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. |
