Two diagrams showing the Inscribed Angle Theorem. On the left the minor arc is highlighted; on the right the major arc is highlighted. Text reads: Euclid El, 3–21 'In a circle, angles in the same segment are equal to one another'.

Semiotic observation (!) ... when you think of the Inscribed Angle Theorem, which arc do you mentally highlight? I've always done (a) but actually Euclid presents it as (b) … which makes sense because the angles are indeed in that segment. Time on my hands? Maybe ;-)

Remind me again about how mathematical terminology was designed to make things easier to learn.

Oh, wait. No it wasn't.

#UKMathsChat #ITeachMaths #mathsky

PS I have nothing to say about the suitability of this terminology for insiders. It may be perfectly on point. But that's not my point here.

The Right Angle

Seems a good day to remark that π isn't something to get all bothered about, but then neither is τ. At least, not *that* τ.
