Old video, but in case anyone wants to see metronomes syncing in action.

This is very interesting. I've always struggled with Mathematics. Recently I
got a Dover book on Trigonometry, and I finally understood what radians are!

Now I know there are folks here who intuitively grasp mathematics - I see and
sometimes envy their grasp of the material - but I'm finding that I'm enjoying
understanding the most basic of mathematical concepts. There's something
incredibly satisfying about it all.

Given my screen name, one would suspect that I like this article. :-)

Math should be a joy. I wish I had heard of this book sooner. I certainly
added it to my wish list in Amazon. [http://www.amazon.com/The-Joy-Guided-
