Paper cut picture: Do not stand at my grave and weep

Sometimes I make Kirie (cutting peper picture). I gave most of them to some friends. This is one of the recent my kirie. I thank Claudia for giving me a permission to put my Kirie's picture in my blog.

I translated a poem, "Sen no Kaze ni natte" (Original English "Do not stand at my grave and weep") to German from Japanese. Why did I translate it based on non-original poem? Hum, I thought I could sing it since Japanese poem has a song. But, it is difficult, of course.

Tausend Winde (Stehe nicht vor meinem Grab und weine)
Englisch Autor: Unbekannte (oder Mary Elizabeth Frye)
Japanische Übersetzen: 新井満 (Arai Man)
Deutsche Übersetzen: Hitoshi und Leo

Stehe nicht vor meinem Grab und weine.
Ich bin nicht dort, ich schlafe nicht.
Ich bin tausend Winde, die im Himmel wehen.

Ich bin der gänzende Diamant auf dem Schnee.
Ich bin der Sonnenstrahl auf reifem Getreide.
Am Morgen werde ich ein friedlicher Vogel
der Dich aufweckt, im kreisenden Flug.
In der Nacht werde ich die sanften Sterne.

Stehe nicht vor meinem Grab und weine.
Ich bin nicht dort, ich schlafe nicht.
Ich bin tausend Winde, die im Himmel wehen.
Ich bin überall, wo du bist.

Why parallelogram area is |ad-bc|?

Here is my question. The area of parallelogram is the difference of these two rectangles (red rectangle - blue rectangle). This is not intuitive for me. If you also think it is not so intuitive, you might interested in my slides. I try to explain this for hight school students. Slides: A bit intuitive (for me) explanation of area of parallelogram (to my site, external link) .

Geometric Multiplicity: eignvectors (2)

If eigenvectors of a matrix A are independent, it is a happy property. Because the matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix S that column vectors are eigenvectors of A . For example, Why this is a happy property of A? Because I can find A's power easily. A^{10} is not a big deal. Because Λ is a diagonal matrix and power of a diagonal matrix is quite simple. A^{10} = SΛ^{10} S^{-1} Then, why if I want to compute power of A ? That is the same reason to find eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are a basis of a matrix. A matrix can be represented by a single scalar. I repeat this again. This is the happy point, a matrix becomes a scalar. What can be simpler than a scalar value. But, this is only possible when the matrix S's columns are independent. Because S^{-1} must be exist. Now I come back to my first question. Is the λ's multiplicity related with the number of eigenvectors? This time I found this has the name. Geometric multiplicity (GM): the number of in...

Gauss's quote for positive, negative, and imaginary number

Recently I watched the following great videos about imaginary numbers by Welch Labs. https://youtu.be/T647CGsuOVU?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9g6KIvZ_703G3KJXapKkNaF I like this article about naming of math by Kalid Azad. https://betterexplained.com/articles/learning-tip-idea-name/ Both articles mentioned about Gauss, who suggested to use other names of positive, negative, and imaginary numbers. Gauss wrote these names are wrong and that is one of the reason people didn't get why negative times negative is positive, or, pure positive imaginary times pure positive imaginary is negative real number. I made a few videos about explaining why -1 * -1 = +1, too. Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by pattern https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by climbing a mountain https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 But actually Gauss's insight is much powerful. The original is in the Gauß, Werke, Bd. 2, S. 178 . Hätte man +1, -1, √-1) nicht positiv, negative, imaginäre (oder gar um...
