I found this case of old mathematical/drawing instruments - more
like instruments of torture to me! Don't
they look scary? I wouldn't have a clue
what they are for.
Funnily enough my husband and sons are fabulous at
maths/physics etc.
This book was my husbands when he was at college - its a foreign language to me.
Were you good at maths?
Love, Liz

I saw the word 'maths' and I shuddered. I'm not too bad at sums, but I need to think about them. I was half reasonable at probability but that was about the only thing that worked outside of the basics.
I have a son who doesn't think it is a real sum unless half the Greek alphabet is contained therein. But then, he did do his year 9 independent research assignment on Time Dilation. It was very interesting but I think the only person who really would understand is Professor Hawking.
I'll stick to trying to work out block sizes for patchwork. That should do, shouldn't it?
Absolutely rubbish....still am! Yes, very scary stuff and I don't just mean the equipment! :) x
I used to be good at math but somewhere along the uneven years of my life, I lost a lot of that. Didn't use it at work but did use writing skills so that became stronger and my math dwindled.
Nope. Not me, completely useless, still am. Maybe if I had been called Silvanus, it would have been a different story... xxxxx
Maths was my preferred subject to all others. Note the past tense!
Love from Mum

I was rubbish at maths and physics too. Still have trouble fathoming stuff out but my sons were great at both.
I absolutely LOVED maths!

I was useless at school, how odd I ended up doing accounts! (Glad I'm retired though now.)
Hope you're keeping well Liz.

Algebra, yes, I loved finding out the unknown. Not keen on calculus or geometry!
I loved Maths at school. I went on and did it at uni too and became a Maths teacher until I had my children. Your Maths instruments make me want to dig mine out and draw a circle or two! :oD
Ooh I went slightly queasy at the very thought of maths! and those instruments!! Hopeless! hehe...Hugs Maria x
Hello Liz, thanks for your nice comment and what a great and varied blog you have here! I was hopeless at maths, except for geometry. However, I enjoy (to some extent) keeping the family accounts and I can alter knitting and sewing patterns. Strange how one's brain / motivation works.
Nah my eyes glaze over when people start talking about numbers. They really do. I have other talents!
I do appreciate those little math tool sets though!
