Video Review: Recommended Pair of Compasses [STAEDTLER 552 01 PR1 Mars]

STAEDTLER 552 01 PR1 Mars

Here I review the STAEDTLER 552 01 PR1 Mars pair of compasses. I have been using these for the last few years and I thoroughly recommend them.

You can find work that has been produced with them at https://www.instagram.com/mathematics.proofs and also https://www.instagram.com/tiago_hands.

If you purchase this pair of compasses via my Amazon affiliate link, not only will you get a fantastic item, but at the same time, you'd be supporting this blog and my Youtube channel.

Buy the STAEDTLER 552 01 PR1 Mars Comfort compass set on Amazon

Thank you!

Understanding Heuristics: A Practical Guide to Smarter Problem Solving

Understanding Heuristics: A Practical Guide to Smarter Problem Solving Image by:  https://pixabay.com/illustrations/data-robot-brain-humanoid-mind-7473235/ Introduction In our daily lives, we constantly make decisions, big and small. But how do we tackle complex problems without drowning in endless possibilities? Enter heuristics – a powerful set of mental shortcuts or "rules of thumb" designed to simplify decision-making. Heuristics are especially useful when time is limited, full information is unavailable, or a quick solution is needed. In this post, we'll delve into what heuristics are, how they work, and why they’re indispensable for efficient problem-solving. What Are Heuristics? Heuristics are simplified approaches or techniques that help us make quick, practical decisions. They don’t guarantee the optimal solution but offer a reasonable shortcut to finding workable answers. While heuristics are sometimes viewed as a compromise between accuracy and speed, ...

The Pythagram Defined

The Pythagram Defined Contributors over a 2.5 Year Period: Tiago Hands ( Final Construction ), Carlos Luna-Mota ( Egyptian Triangles ), Andrzej Kukla ( The Rhombus with Area of 3 ) 06 October 2025 Abstract The Pythagram is a planar geometric structure derived from the 3 : 4 : 5 right triangle and the orthographic projection of a cube. Its construction through defined Cartesian coordinates reveals six interrelated Pythagorean sub-figures that encode proportional symmetry across multiple dimensions. This document formalises the coordinates, connections, and geometric properties of the Pythagram as a reproducible mathematical entity. Coordinate Data Group 1 — Central Core A(16, 18), B(14, 18), C(12, 16), D(12, 14), E(14, 12), F(16, 12), G(18, 14), H(18, 16), I(15, 15), W(15, 17.5), X(12.5, 15), Y(15, 12.5), Z(17.5, 15) Group 2 — Inner Square L(15, 20), M(10, 20), N(10, 15), O(10, 10), P(15, 10), Q(20, 10), R(20...

The Unicursal Pythagram

Image
🜛 The Unicursal Pythagram 08 October 2025 The unicursal pythagram is a geometric figure drawn on a 6×6 grid . It is made from sixteen points connected by thirty-two straight lines , and the whole pattern can be drawn without lifting the pen . That is what makes it unicursal — it is one continuous path that begins and ends at the same point. The figure is related to the 3:4:5 right triangle , just like the standard pythagram. But while the standard version is about static shapes, the unicursal version adds movement. It shows how all the parts of the pattern connect together in a single, flowing line. Points used (A–P) A(2,2), B(3,4), C(4,2), D(2,3), E(4,4), F(3,2), G(2,4), H(4,3), I(0,3), J(1,5), K(5,5), L(6,3), M(3,0), N(1,1), O(3,6), P(5,1) Drawing order (32 lines) A→B, B→C, C→D, D→E, E→F, F→G, G→H, H→A, A→I, I→J, J→B, B→K, K→L, L→C, C→M, M→N, N→D, D→J, J→O, O→E, E→L, L→P, P→F, F→N, N→I, I→G, G→O, O→K, K→H, H→P, P→M, M→A In simple terms The unicursal pythagram shows...
