math
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory), structure (algebra), space (geometry), and change (mathematical analysis). It has no generally accepted definition.Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate new conjectures; they resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about nature. Through the use of abstraction and logic, mathematics developed from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity from as far back as written records exist. The research required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry.
Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932), David Hilbert (1862–1943), and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary to view mathematical research as establishing truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Mathematics developed at a relatively slow pace until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that has continued to the present day.Mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics has led to entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians engage in pure mathematics (mathematics for its own sake) without having any application in mind, but practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered later.
If my dies are 14 threads to the inch then 1/4 turn is .0178 inches of movement, correct? My thought that I've done in the past is to start at whatever fits in the magazine and see if it chambers then push the bullet into contact with the lands and then turn the die down the 1/4 from there. Now...
Couldn't sleep last night so in a sleep deprived fog I wrote this, my friends liked it so I thought I'd share here also, it's satire so don't get too offended...:)

A close friend sent me this link. It's an interesting read, although I disagree with the naturalist's assumptions.

Found 9mm ammo for sale at the LGS and bought a couple of boxes. $11.99 for Remington UMC 115gr RN plinking ammo. 50 rounds, so $.24 per round.
Small pistol primers are impossible to find. Unobtanium. The only ones I've heard of for sale around here were at a gun show at $120 per 1000, or...
I have felt bad about some purchases in the past because I could not find well discounted gift cards to make the purchases with. Then a lightbulb came on. I thought if I got the previous purchase with a 20% percent gift card and then sold that item for what I paid for it, then the discount will...
I was looking in to the details of an Oregon County's Ordinance regarding camping on your own private property. The Ordinance permits camping on private property up to 21 days in any 6 month period. If my calculator work was right that means I could legally camp for an average of 3.5 days a...
If I go from a 32" tall tire, to a 33" tall tire on my SUV, and do not correct the speedometer, how many fewer miles a year will show on my odometer in a year, or 12,000 miles of driving?
Was talking to my dad about lifting my SUV and going to a 33" tire and he pointed out that doing so would...
