A "change of basis" is an action performed in linear algebra, whereby a change in fundamental structure yields an entirely new viewpoint. This blog began as a record of a pedagogical change of basis for me, and continues as an ongoing account of my thoughts as I design and direct courses in mathematics at the University of North Carolina, Asheville.

Somewhat tangential update: beards at two months
Hey! Just thought I'd check in with the latest photograph of our ongoing facial hair fracas. Roughly two months in, here's how it stands:
Howzaboutit? (Note my especially spiffy Elvis shirt...my wife hates it when I wear that in public...)
kinda off topic, but a real question. im just curious about why don't you wear shoes? Is it like a Johnny Lang thing where you did better barefoot in a previous class or just because you perfer barefoot?
I just prefer it. In general I prefer loose-fitting, light clothing to confining and restrictive clothing (thus shorts over long pants!), and that carries over to footwear.

ReplyDeletePlus it accentuates my craziness.
I'm noting your anime-esque hair, myself. And yes, I do despise that shirt!
