Simplefootball - The idea
In my introduction I said that I would also present some of my programming and today we will get started with that. The program I want to talk about is a simple football (soccer) simulation that I have

Polar coordinates
Today we will come back to complex numbers. As discussed before, a complex number z is represented as a + b * i with a and b real numbers and i the imaginary unit (the square root of -1). Since this is

The harmonic mean
Last time we looked at the geometric mean in contrast to the “normal” arithmetic mean. There is even a third way to determine the “middle” of two numbers, the harmonic mean. The harmonic mean of two numbers

The geometric mean
When there is a competition to estimate some number (e.g. the amount of money in a jar full of coins) we want the person closest to the actual value to win. Since the distance between two numbers x and

Complex numbers
Some of my following posts might use complex numbers so I want to properly introduce them. To understand why we need them we will first take a look at other, more simple, sets of numbers. In elementary

Postfix notation
Most people don't think about how to write sums. It is clear that that the plus sign should go between the two numbers you want to add. This makes a lot of sense but when you think about it there is no

Why 0! = 1
Most of you should be familiar with the factorial function where n factorial (written n!) is the product of the first n natural numbers, e.g. 5! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120. This is a straightforward definition

Introducing my maths blog
Hello there! I am currently studying maths at university and I made this account to share some of the interesting things I learn there (or anywhere else) as well as maybe some of my programming (maths-related
