Mathematics, a voyage to understand the world

This is a new entry about math, or maths, or mathematics, whatever you prefer. I usually use math, but maths is the same mainly in UK. It does not matter, both are great.

I have already talked about the importance of mathematics in another entry. Today, returning to the subject, I would like to talk about this matter again, in a more direct way.

The reason is a recent conversation with a mathematics professional, a teacher who is truly desperate due to the very low level of mathematics that we have in Europe (at least). A serious problem, since the lack of knowledge of mathematics entails many problems for students, not only in their studies, but in life in general as well.

Desarrolladores, Steam y Ferraris

En esta entrada voy a hablar de un tema recurrente en el mundo de la programación de videojuegos: elegir el color del Ferrari cuando subes tu juego a Steam y ganas millones de dólares. Porque, de eso se trata, ¿no es así?

No. Hay muchos sueños, y muchos soñadores, que ven triunfar un juego indie, y creen que pueden repetir esa hazaña. No es que sea imposible. Pero solo hay que observar cuántos juegos se publican en Steam cada día, y cuántos ganan para, al menos, cubrir gastos, para entender que este mundo no es ninguna maravilla. Tampoco es la pesadilla que reclaman algunos. Es, como todo lo demás, cuestión de conocimiento, trabajo, y algo de suerte. Y un padrino lleno de dinero si es posible. Pero eso pocas veces ocurre.

Developers, Steam and Ferraris

Hi again! Long time no see! Sorry I was dieing months ago, but recovered well and online again. Old developers never die.

In this post I am going to talk about a recurring theme in the world of video game programming: choosing the color of the Ferrari when you upload your game to Steam and earn millions of dollars. Because that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

No. There are many dreams, and many dreamers, who see an indie game succeed, and believe that they can repeat that feat. It’s not that it’s impossible. But you only have to look at how many games are published on Steam each day, and how many earn to at least break even, to understand that this world is no wonder. Nor is it the nightmare that some claim. It is, like everything else, a matter of knowledge, work, and a bit of luck. And a godfather full of money if possible. But that rarely happens.
