LL 11

This week I learned some java, and created some programs! I created a math game, and am trying to make some others. I also learned about celular biology and that trees mostly geth their mass from the air. I also learned about taylor series and how you can use polynomials to create approximations for functions in a certain range!

LL 10

 This week I learned about how holograms are made. It's a very facinating process, I learned about how a 2D peice of film can contain a 3D image. I also learned a lot about the nature and science of light. The most surprising thing I learned is that if you have two light scources both illuminating the same plane, the resulting wave pattern is not just the two light waves added together. They are combined in a different way.

Here's the video:

LL 9

 This week I learned about an interesting function called the ruler function which is the number of ones that you carry when counting in bianary. I tried to see how many digits of the ruler function I could name before I lost track and got to 1,024! I also learned about the USS arizona, a ship that was destroyed in the japenese attack on pearl harbor. Almost half of the casualties from pearl harbor were from the sinking of the USS arizona. I was in Scottsedale, Arizona and was able to see part of the wreckage and learn about the ship and how it worked, it was very interesting.

 I also went on a hike and saw delicate arch which is the arch used on some utah licence plates, it's amazing to see up close!

LL 8

 This week I learned about the three kingdoms era of chinese history. It was very interesting, it was one of the most chaotic war periods in all of history! This is a video I watched about it that I really liked.

I also learned about economics and politics in the book "The end of the world is just the beggining" by Peter Zeihan. He talks about what he thinks will happen to economies and politics in the futire and I think it's facinating. I also learned some python, it's a lot easier than C#. The makers of python made it more efficientfor proggrammers to write but it's not as fast.
