Hi All,In a post that I wrote about a week ago, I said that I was going to start a new thread concerning numbers. A few days after that, I wrote an entry on the number 1. That blog entry has become a favorite - it ranks in the top 20 blog entries that I've written. Who knew that number 1 would be so popular? Go figure - but hey...it is the number 1!
So...without further ado...here is a blog entry dealing with the number 2!
Well, as usual, I've included a link from Wikipedia. Click on this link from Wikipedia about the number 2. So, what does this entry have that is interesting about the number 2? Indeed, the entry has a section on numerological significance, the number 2 with respect to technology and to religion and more.
Click on this link to connect to the 2nd Avenue Deli - a kosher restaurant and caterer in New York City. Note that there are two locations of the deli - one on 33rd Street and another locaton on First Avenue.
Did you know that they (the MTA - as in the Metropolitan Transit Authority in New York City) are trying to build a Second Avenue Subway? I didn't think so...Click on this link to the section on the MTA website that has links about the project. Topics of included links are background, construction, documents and outreach. Interesting stuff - oh, and the project is expected to be finished some time after 2016...
I never heard about this theory before - click here for a link that discusses the 'Theory of Second Best'. Link is from Wikipedia and the theory is economic in nature - kind of interesting if you think about it.
Click on this link from a blog post that was written in 2003 on a blog named Legal Theory Lexicon. Pretty esoteric stuff - sort of interesting.
From a website called Virtuescience comes this long entry and link that describes the number 2 in mathematical terms - links follow on the page.
This link is from a site called Constitution.org and introduces the reader to the Federalist Paper #2 - link has the full-text of the document. FYI, the document title is 'Concerning Dangers from Foreign Force and Influence' and was written by John Jay.
Click here for an answer to the oft asked question, 'why do we use number 2 pencils to take tests?'. Fun stuff!
And for those of you who have a little tyke (child) on your hands, you might want to click on this link for mathematics for children - very cute and entertaining for the kids!
Enjoy the sites!
