pectinicŭlus

Rereading this blog I realize that much use a word that (at Monterrey least) sounds a bit strong. Perhaps because he had heard much Facundo Cabral y Alberto Cortez in my youth or maybe I lived much with Peruvians in Germany and they in fact is not an offense.

Anyway, I use it in all conscience (knowing that usually produce a "shock") to communicate something I think is important.

According to the Royal English Academy:
asshole.

HEART THE STRATEGIST MIMICRY


data, tangible and palpable reality, jettisoned all approach born, developed, and supported only with intelligence theoretical.

As well show us the great philosopher and teacher, José Antonio Marina, practical intelligence is needed to lead to successful action, projects and jobs.

are many theories were created after diagnosing a given situation, could be youth unemployment. And with all good intentions, those responsible for implementing these theories, are advised by very smart people, but with the data in hand, do not optimize the results of their knowledge. And it is one thing to know much about medicine, and other, knowing how to cure patients.

Fortunately, there are excellent professionals, who devote their lives to research, serious and quality. These researchers are giving us much information about the causes of problematic circumstances, such as lack of corporate culture based on excellence, innovation, causing the low level of competitiveness and loss of productivity, of our business.

theory tells us to strengthen SMEs, generating eighty percent of jobs in our country. That increasing the level of competitiveness and improve productivity, SMEs have to innovate. We got clear, but where are the results tangible and palpable?

There are two theoretical concepts much needed to face and overcome future success, the serious crisis that we are still. Business excellence (to optimize performance and ensure the business as a whole), and work excellence (to improve organizational performance of the company, which enables the creation of employment).

should reflect policy makers, unions, and business institutions, without prejudice or complex, with the courage to propose and take action to generate employment changes, on the importance of professionals in the day to day, we know and we implement, with intelligence, as important theoretical concepts to improve the quality of life of citizens.

A useful fiction ... Smullyan

recently bought the "Lament of a mathematician / Mathematician's Lament" by Paul Lockhart. I had already read online (and in fact I've written about this in the blog ... stupid and boring.)

As a mathematician and having been since the aim of disseminating mathematics, always look for inspiration this cause. And many are in the little book of Lockhart. The part I want to write is the following ...

worst of the "reform" education in mathematics
are attempts to make mathematics is "interesting"
and "important in life" for children.
NO NEED TO DO THE MATH TO BE INTERESTING
AND IS MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU CAN HANDLE!
And his glory is precisely that appears to be relevant in our lives.
That is funny.

Clearly
Lockhart not talking about the mathematics being taught in school , but the real math. But ... what I'm thinking is this:

What are interesting things for a child or young?

The more I think about it the more I realize the truth of the words of Lockhart. For children and young people the most interesting is not relevant to life. Music, soccer, cartoons, video games, jokes, comedy, science fiction, ...
... even for adults, the most interesting is not always the most "important" in life.

Mathematics is a useful fiction. Hartry Field

"The product of the ages of John and Peter is equivalent to his age José 3 years ago when the sum of the ages ...." For God's sake, pretend that speak of ages make the problem interesting or on the real world?
As real problem is absurd and silly. Any child asks when it will help me know how this nonsense?

simple and interesting questions (and I do frequently with my children) is as follows:

Find two numbers multiplied to give 42.

Find Other
.

Find two numbers that multiplied to give 13.

Find Other
.

These questions are interesting in themselves for children (no question, I have evidence that they are interesting from experience). Let them discover that mistake ... and 15 minutes are very clear what a prime number.
do not care if the primes are used to code and make transfers paswords Interbank safe. And if there is a whole area cryptography (see for example: RSA) related to these issues. It is also interesting, but it comes later.
