** Wobbly updates or a sort of week notes **
Hello RSS goblins.
It’s unseasonably warm here, and well, I suppose everywhere. That’s…frightening, but before I let that weigh to heavily on this post I must move on.
It’s been a gorgeous weekend. We took the kids to the beach Friday after dinner, expecting to play on the sand and scramble up the rocks, but they actually each went swimming. They had a blast. The car is filled with sand, and I hope that last little hurrah of summer hangs around for a bit.
We also went putt putt golfi … ⌘ Read more

数学教授教体育把 9 名校队选手送进巴黎奥运会，这是怎么做到的？数学对游泳的贡献能有多大？
体育课来了数学老师，数学老师一来，校队还直接包揽世界级的奖牌？这样的梦幻联动是真实的，而且可能将成为体育界的常态。
事情要从美国游泳圈的“卷”说起。
数学教授创造奇迹
在美国，游泳是非常热门和“卷”的运动。美国有3.3亿多人口，每年却有约3百万名儿童参与暑期游泳联盟的活动。在美国的游泳圈有一条格言：“吃饭睡觉游泳”（eat, sleep, swim），听起来像不像东亚“吃饭睡觉刷题”版的美国镜像？这也反映出那个游泳世界的自律和单调。
美国的游泳圈卷到什么程度了呢？实际上在美国进入大学游泳队就是一项值得吹嘘的成就了。因为根据美国国家大学体育协会（NCAA）统计，在中学游泳健将中，只有7%的人能够入选美国国家大学体育协会第一级别。
可是要进入国家队，这个程度还远远不够。对于每个奥赛游泳项目来说，全美只有60-80位运动员能够收到美国奥林匹克国家队资格赛的邀请，而其中只有4人能进入国家 … ⌘ Read more
