I'm just happy sticking with programming! The Maths I do here is enough. Zed, Prolog, Venn Diagrams, Propositional Logic.

I wanna do no more!!!!

Lol, I just can't get enough math :D I'm now trying to make some 3 dimensional projections of 4 dimensional polytopes. First attempt had candy at the corners. Then i've just <insert the english word for "piepschuim" here> . You know the white stuff used to keep TV screens from getting broken inside the boxes. Next time i'm going to use ropes but i haven't found all the materials i need yet.

I believe you're reffering to polystyrene.

You're actually aking 3d models of 4d stuff? That sounds pretty cool. I've always been good at visualing things in my head, so I've always found 4d space, something totally alien to me, really fascinating.

I can visualize some 4D objects. But they are the simple ones. The problems occur when you try rotating them in your mind. I mean rotating a cube in your mind isn't easy but rotating a hypercube is just impossible to do withouth computers
