Pythagorean Theorem and Zombies

I complain a lot about math I have to learn, especially with fancy names like Pythagorean. Who can remember that? No disrespect to Pyth, but I can barely remember how to spell it.

So I usually make up a name I can remember. Plus, add some interesting bits to help me remember.

Here we have a name replacement. Easier to remember, yes?

Here we find the right triangles. Who the heck needs other shapes when you’ve got a super hot and awesome right triangle?

That triangle is so freakin’ hot, let’s make her a twin!

OMG! Zombies! WTH are they doing in math?

A2 plus B2 equals C2 (FTW!)

a2 + b2 = c2

I’m totally good at this. Where do I sign up to write math textbooks?

  1. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

  2. This is a great post, I stumbled across your post while looking for some random stuff. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to come back.
