Photoshop seminar and the new banner

I recently attended a 2-day in-house seminar on Photoshop CS2 (we don’t have a CS5 yet), and the banner above is one of my outputs (with the help of the facilitators of course).

I also would like to acknowledge Steve Jurvetson for his Internet Splat Map used at the left side of the banner.

If you want to request banner designs or other art works, you can email me at mathandmultimedia@gmail.com, and I will refer you to our artists.

Math Words in Filipino

Note: This post is for Filipino readers.

Mathematics in the Philippines is taught in English, and I have never used a math term in Filipino (our national language) before. I found these translations, and I am delighted to share it to fellow Filipino math teachers and enthusiasts. Honestly, I  only know one translation, and it is embarrassing that I didn’t even know the other  translations exist.

  • math – sipnayan
  • mathematician – sipnayanon
  • arithmetic – palatuusan
  • radical – pangugat
  • exponential function – pangunahing kabisa
  • square root – pariugat
  • cube root – taluugat
  • square – parirami
  • cube – talurami
  • differential – tingirin
  • involution – balisultag
  • tangent – dikit
  • plane figure – lapyang laraw
  • probability – kalagmitan
  • permutation – pamalitan
  • factorial – bunin
  • infinity – awanggan
  • imaginary number – guning bilang
Please share to fellow Filipinos. :-)
