NanoMath::A Very, Very, Very Small Blog About Math

I am a computing/math instructor at Scottsdale Community College located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I created this blog thinking I'd use it to blog about math, but I haven't gotten around to taking this blog seriously. 3Q'02012 is ending today and I'm thinking about bringing this blog--which had 16 postings on 30 September 02012-- to life.
