School is in session

[haveabiscuit]

We've been generously offered some space to use for school purposes. I think the value of education has become clear in attempts to analyze this particular message from the Trumps.

ANd if that's not enough incentive on its own, the space also offers respite from the effects of this particular Liminal Space. The door is in the Library of Mr Da Vinci's workshop and I can place a charm should anyone need further guidance.

I'm planning to teach applied maths. We also have offers to teach general sciences and English literature. Our Earth geography resources are era specific but are worth touching on given that a fair number of the Jaunts go there.

Which applications?

[She's momentarily intrigued - but only momentarily.]

Other resources are also era specific. Science, literature, history. They're living organisms, growing and shifting and building.

[haveabiscuit]

Varied, mostly based on what we've experienced in the past Jaunts. Resource management, statistical analysis, construction. If it gets people paying attention to maths, I'll even discuss the magical applications even if they can't be implemented.

[Maths is an important subject and no one gets excited for it]

Yes... literature and history are at least a little simpler to teach a microcosm of.

Interplanetary navigation? You should cover all the fundamentals.

...You can apply math to magic?

I'm from Earth in 1997, so someone else will have to handle that particular application.

My particular area of specialization is highly technical. You need maths to account for the weight of what you're trying to transfigure, the wand you're using, the inherent properties and several other factors.

Is there a standard formula? Or does it vary on effect?

[haveabiscuit]

A standard formula with particular constants for different effects.
