The Lightbulb Problem Part 3: Providing a Justification
In the previous part of the lightbulb problem, we came up with the idea that all powers of 2 will work, but we never generalized a solution to the problem; we just used a pattern without proving. This time, we will take a look at proving this problem, explaining why this problem is True if

A Visual Map of the Faults in California
Recently, while visiting UCR, I was shown this amazing model of the faults within California by Professor Oglesby. I will be explaining what these faults represent, and an analysis on them. The Map On the map, there is both the ocean and land (the white and blue, respectively). In the ocean, there are a few

The San Andreas Fault and its Effect on Los Angeles
Recently, I got to meet an earth science professor in person, who explained to me his findings in an experiment on the San Andreas Fault. His motivation and enthusiasm was very inspiring, so I wanted to write about it here. This is about the San Andreas fault, and how it could have bigger consequences on

The Lightbulb Riddle Part 2: The Cases that Don’t Work
Last time we discussed this problem, we looked at one case of the lightbulb question. However, that does not solve the problem of every case. Now, we will look at how to generalize this lightbulb question to many switches. Question There are n switches, in a regular polygon with n sides, all of which are

The Pirate Riddle
The pirate riddle is a riddle that has given a very shocking result. It may seem one way, but when using math and logic, it can result in a much better outcome. Today, I will explain what the pirate riddle is, and how to solve it. The Riddle Five pirates A, B, C, D, and
