To the reviewer wrote this about a book I wrote: "THE AUTHOR HAS GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO CONFRONT THE READER WITH AN INEFFABLE PIECE OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE GARBAGE." I have rewritten the book, and now I believe the garbage in the book is completely understandable.

Logan is hauling ass, knowing an F5 tornado is right behind. But Logan, being a border collie, the genius of dog breeds, isn’t barking, bow-wow, he’s yelping the NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION, which describes the flow of gases, including the 250 mph air gusts in the twister behind him.

Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) was a German mathematician who didn't invent mathematics, but did invent modern predicate logic and quantified variables -- the language of mathematics in his 1879 book, Begriffsschrift. -> wikiwand.com/en/Gottlob_Freg…

Quote by a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it: “There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.”

I'm ashamed to say I never knew the proof of Heron's formula for the area of a triangle as a function of its side lengths, so I asked Gemini, and bingo, there it was.

Out of curiosity, I asked AI Gemini on Google Chrome to find the square root of 77 using Heron's method, starting with the initial estimate of 8. It found sqrt(77) to 5 places in a few seconds, complete with all the steps. Try it yourself.
