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...

Tezuka Osamu's Black Jack, "Shrinking"

I like several novel authors. My first favorite author is probably Teduka, Osamu. I still love him. The list grows by adding Hoshi, Shinichi, Agatha Christie, Hermann Hesse, and so forth. My first favorite article of Tezuka was Atom as most of the (boy's) Tezuka fans did. But my favorite is Black Jack. I try to summarize one story, it is still quite vivid in my memory. I first read this story when I was 13 - 15 years old. I re-read it at least several times since Black Jack is composed of many short episodes. The title should be "ちぢむ (SHRINKING)" or it might be "縮む(Shrinking)". (It is not so convenient to translate this to English, since English does not have a system to say the exact same word in several ways. So I just simulate it with capital letters.) Black Jack is a genius surgeon, but he does not have the license. In short, his medical activity is illegal. His skill is top level in the world, but, the fee is also out-of-law expensive. In the story ...
