 Hello, this is Chicho. I just wanted to give everyone an update regarding the language of mathematics series. First thing I got to do is apologize to everyone because I missed my own deadline. I promised some videos by September and that didn't happen. We had Canadian elections happen here and that consumed a lot of time. So, you know, there's good news and bad news. The good news, well, I'll give you the bad news first. The bad news is that there isn't going to be a whole bunch of videos coming online right away. I didn't get out there to do the shoot. I was hoping to be able to go out there for two week, three week session in Vancouver because we get usually pretty good weather tours the end of August or August and September anyway. So I was trying to get all that done, condensed in one shot, shoot all the video edited and put it out there in one chunk. So, bad news, that's not happening. The good news is I've sort of put everything else aside. Well, almost everything else aside, I'm gonna you know, work on some things, but my main focus is going to be the language of mathematics series. So what I'm gonna do in the next two to three months is shoot the videos whenever we get good weather. Today's sort of sunny cloudy. It's supposed to rain later on tonight. So we're in fall in Vancouver just in case anybody doesn't know and in the fall in Vancouver, it rains. It pours. So depending on the weather, you know, the videos will be made. So what I'm gonna try to do is do as much as I can whenever we get good weather and start editing the videos and slowly putting them out there. So they won't be all coming out in one shot. They're gonna be scattered and what I'm gonna hope to do is hopefully when I get all the videos out there, I'll organize them according to what I think, how I think they should be presented. I'll try to keep it in order, but you know, can't promise they're gonna be coming out in order. But at the end, I will organize them and put them in their own sections and hopefully have some kind of proper thought pattern going through. So bad news. A whole bunch of videos aren't coming out in one shot. Good news. I'm gonna be focused on this for the next two to three months. So expect some videos coming online soon. So that's the update and you know, I hope that works out with everyone. What is this set of videos going to talk about? Now, I've been thinking about this for a while and I've been trying to sort of organize it in my mind. You know, taking some notes down and stuff like that, trying to make sure I'm you know, I'm not gonna be missing any pieces, presenting an idea. The first series that I put online was dealing with numbers, specifically operations and crunching numbers and you know, what numbers mean and how we got about sort of introducing the concept of algebra, really. So there's 30 videos on there, you know, dealing with numbers and how to crush numbers, operations and stuff like this and hopefully that from the response anywhere we've gotten, you know, people did like that a lot. Now for this next series, what I want to do is sort of take the information there and apply it somewhere. So basically get into sort of a little bit of applied mathematics, but basic applied mathematics and that's gonna entail talking about the units. Introducing variables, functions and what I'm gonna try to do towards the end is do a little bit of intro on calculus and probably get in statistics in there somewhere as well. So this next series is going to talk about units. We're gonna talk about certain money units and stuff like this. Types of units anyway or units basically and units are essentially properties. So we're gonna talk about things. Pretty vague, but that's what math is. It's a language. It's vague until you sort of narrow it down and specify what you're talking about, right? So we're gonna talk about units, variables, functions, get into statistics and calculus. So that's what I'm gonna try to do in the next two to three months, depending on the weather. We'll see how fast the videos get done, how fast I get editing. My editing software is still very, very, very basic and I got a little deemie camera and no microphone. So I'm going gorilla style on this again. So hopefully that works out. Hopefully, and I keep on saying hopefully because I'm gonna stop giving deadlines now, I'll be able to finish all this up by the end of this year, by the end of 2008. Anyway, thanks for listening and that's a quick update on Chicho on the Language of Mathematics series and I'll see you guys in the next few videos. I hope you haven't get that.
