And another re-arrangement of the axioms.</p><p>Paul Halmos in his autobiography reports on one of his colleagues who taught a course in measure theory (I quote from memory). He set out the axioms in lecture 1. Come lecture 2, and he explains that actually, the right axioms should be such and such. And so the semester progresses, each week a new, better axiom system, with no time left for any derivations. </p><p>I love that story, on so many levels.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PaulHalmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PaulHalmos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/axiomatics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>axiomatics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>procrastination</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TakeYourTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TakeYourTime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/yesthestudentswillhavelearntmoreinthislecturethaninanyother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yesthestudentswillhavelearntmoreinthislecturethaninanyother</span></a></p>

Virginicus<p>Bush-hogged yesterday, but it was too hot to rake up the detritus for the compost heap. Early morning is cooler, so I left it for today. At dawn, all those pulverized weeds were soaked with dew, so I don’t need to water the pile.
