Seven and Math are best friends

Seriously, I love math. Numbers, patterns, rules, consistency... math has it all! I have often said (not yet on this blog) that I understand numbers better than people, which is true for the most part.

Two plus two is always going to equal four. It's never going to equal three or five. People constantly change, which can be either good or bad.

Some people doodle. Sometimes I doodle, too. But I doodle random abstract designs/patterns... and math.
This is just part of one where I was finding patterns in exponents of 2.

Most people prefer algebra class or geometry class - like, they prefer one over the other. I don't have a preference. I enjoyed both equally.
I love to... well, these are my favorites: factor, find roots (square, cube, etc), find permutations, find all possible combinations. I like pretty much everything math. The only thing I find annoying is long division, when the divisor is more than one digit. But even this isn't very annoying.

    Ah, there we go. Can you give an example of finding permutations, finding all possible combinations? How does this manifest in your world?

    Seven I love that you love math and all of the fun stuff. I like both algebra and geometry. When I took geometry in high school, I hated the proofs, but I think that I'd even find them enjoyable now. I did love what I taught of geometry. (Proofs, weren't in the curriculum.)

    Proofs are okay for me, though the long ones can be really confusing.

    Oh right, permutations, finding all possible combinations.. I don't remember exactly what permutations are at the moment, but what I mean when I say finding all possible combinations would be...
    Example: Suppose I have four flags, one orange, one green, one blue, and one purple. There are four flagstands aligned in a single row in which I can place the flags. How many ways can I arrange the flags?
    Then I'd start thinking like this:
    1. orange, green, blue, purple
    2. orange, green, purple, blue
    3. orange, blue, green, purple
    ...etc.
    (Yes, I made up this example. If you're wondering, there are 24 possible combinations.)
