Math has a complete different taste for me than six years ago. Something has reminded me why I liked this kind of pure science when I was teenage girl.
Anyway, I found two interesting books about math and stat history in the bookstore yesterday. I wish I have time to read both of them!

1. Euler's gem-richeson

2. Probability and statistics-tabak

Thinking like a mathematician

“The math I feel I do is like poetry,” Keynes says. “But too often, what we teach is grammar. I understand you need the grammar. But you need to see the poetry, too.”

Trump's Culture

2007-11-02T11:44:00.000-07:00

Some parts of his ethic and culture in the life:

" When you think big, big things come to you."

" The harder I work, the luckier I get."

" Hire the best people, and don't trust them."!

" Always think of yourself as someone who is important."

From his new book!!!!

What do you think?!

2007-09-03T12:47:00.000-07:00

The Namesake is one of the books, which I must read it for this semester. I have read from Lahiri before, and I like her stories.

Look at this!

2007-08-20T12:02:00.000-07:00

Almost, every night, exactly after midnight, I start to write, and I continue writing until sunrise. Then I sleep for some hours and wake up and review my passage , poem, story which I wrote last night. But, you know after sunrise they don't make sense at all! they belong to dark night, so I throw out all of them. Maybe it is better that I make a fire and burn them in it like an intellectual person! What do you think?the cold weather is in the way.

Don't stop!

2007-08-12T09:37:00.000-07:00

After 2... years old, everyday, one new idea.

Waiting

2007-07-30T12:13:00.000-07:00

It is clear that I should wait yet; why do not I accept this? Pls someone tell me "go sleep"!

Loveseat

2007-06-01T19:51:00.000-07:00

This picture reminds me of a special place in Toronto!

The word loveseat refers to a small sofa or couch which is allowed two people comfortably sit on it and maybe because of this character, this kind of couch was named loveseat. Loveseats come in various shapes and materials. Some people put two cushions on them. If you don’t have enough space, you can have a beautiful loveseat instead a big sofa. Designers usually put a loveseat near a fireplace in a small room and make a romantic cozy place.

هشتم مارس؛ روز جهانی زن

2007-03-07T21:50:00.000-08:00

من نگرانم، نگران همه شما که نگران مایید

نگرانی در این روز سال، نزدیک بهار، سنتم شده است. در این روز بیش از همیشه نگرانم برای شمایی که می دانم چه بهایی دادید در این سالها به عشق گل و شیرینی و آزادی و برابری، برای خواسته ای به عظمت انسان بودن، برای آنچه مستحق آنیم و شما هر روزتان را برای رسیدنش آغاز می کنید. ر

نگرانم برای شمایی که به گناه خواستن روزی که بدون دغدغه در کوچه زندگیمان گلی با عشق به دستانمان هدیه دهید و سرود زیبای آزادی را برای کودکان سرزمینمان بخوانید ، کودکانی که تاوان جامعه جنس زده را نخواهند داد و افق هایی روشن منتظر قدمهای بزرگشان است، چنین در بندید. ر

نگرانم برای شما و شما لبخند می زنید و با امید لبخندتان را از گزند یاس های بیشمار حفظ می کنید و روزی را نوید می دهید که گوشه گوشه ذهنمان پر است از امنیت زن بودن. ر

شما نگرانیم را با لبخند و مهر جواب می دهید و با بزرگواری از بودنمان دفاع می کنید. می دانم که دیگر هیچ ندارید که ببازید، شما را بارها و بارها به بازی گرفته اند و من بیرون از معرکه فقط نگرانم... ر

اما، شما ولبخندتان روبروی چشمانم جاری است و من در فکر حفظ تمام خطوط چهره تان، تمام رنجی که کشیدید، تمام آسیبی که دیدید، تقویمم را پر از لبخند مهربانتان کرده ام در هشت مارس همه سالها. ر

2007-01-29T12:10:00.000-08:00

I can't sleep well at night, so during the day I'm sleepy. I think my days and nights are switched really!
I should help myself get back to natural life.

John Wayne

2006-10-20T17:59:00.000-07:00

It seems a deep gap exists between past and new generations in the US. In the feminist culture class, students didn't know John Wayne (May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979) and that made the proffesor go crazy!
She said " How can I teach you American culture while you don't know John Wayne."
It's amazing!

One Year!

2006-10-12T14:53:00.000-07:00

One year has past.I can not believe how I have spent the time during last year.
I hope I will never forget anything about people in my homeland. However , everything changes through time and I am far away from home.
I know that people's behavior, lifestyle and many other things specially slangs are changable, so I afreid that I can not understand my dear ones after some years!

How Many?

2006-10-07T10:46:00.000-07:00

I believe that we have three separated women's groups in Iran : Modern , Traditional women and Group in the middle who are moving from the traditional to modern group.
The traditional group is the most important. However , we don't have a right resource to know how many percent of the Iranian women belong to this group.
The activists need this information.

DR. INGRID MATTSON ELECTED FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA (ISNA)

It is not fair!

2006-08-31T07:09:00.000-07:00

One of my friends is in a hospital now,because she couldn't accept that her husband hasn't been honest during their common life!
Many Iranian women believe that devotion can make successful relationship, so they completely forget themselves and their aims.
It is not fair!
At first, we sould know ourselves.

Campaign

And one more time " Women’s Campaign".....

I know that these serious women will finally change somethings.

My Students' Problems(3)

2006-08-24T11:26:00.000-07:00

Now about my students:
Although they were the hosts, they were actually acting as spectators!
They didn’t have enough self-confidence to show their abilities in singing and playing musical instruments although one of them was really a professional player.
Iranian students weren’t active as Korean students too.
Both of these groups were in a same age, but Korean students were more happy than my students.
This was making me crazy!
What kinds of problems had made this behavioral gap between them?

P.S : They couldn’t dance(not traditional , not modern), because it is prohibited in Iranian schools.

My Students' Problems(2)

2006-08-21T18:06:00.000-07:00

The school was situated in an upscale area. Most of the students' families were rich.At the beginning of every school year, parents paid a lot of money and the school had a really good budget to spend.
In that special day(celebration day),the Korean students exhibited some musical and fun programs.They showed the traditional dance in traditional dresses.They had a musical modern dance too,and it was like Aerobic Dancing.
They were good singers , and they sang and played their musical instruments.
Next,they tasted Iranian food and took a lot of pictures with their new friends.

My Students' Problems(1)

2006-08-15T18:31:00.000-07:00

We had a celebration in the school ,where I taught there, two years ago.A group of Korean students was invited, and we had various programs.
Iranian students and Korean students were trying to make a friendly atmosphere.Every one helped the other to learn more and more about her culture,so that was a beautiful relation.
Moreover......

Code!

2006-08-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

At last, I finished the Da Vinci code yesterday.
It was an interesting story.Although I got some new ideas about ancient religions, I couldn't believe most of the information.
Currently, some people think this book really shows a few basic ideas of feminism.
What do you think?

Interesting Night

2006-08-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

We have had a really interesting meeting last week in a café shop in Silver Spring. It was about Iranian bloggers, gender position in weblogs, writingstyle -- in short, everything about weblogs!
Our group consisted of eight Iranian women from three different generations.Three of us were weblog reader and the others were bloggers.
I learned many things that night. My friends were knowledgeable, and what they said was interesting and full of information. One of them, Sima,studiesWeblogs seriously because of her academic reaserch. So, she asked many questions and made maintained an academic atmosphere.
We were drinking coffee and speaking in the café shop before it was closed. But, we needed more time. So, Mahmonir who is a blogger, asked us to go to her home. She lives in Silver Spring. We continued working until midnight there, and we had to go back home. The Metro station was closed. Therefore, Sima gave us ride and helps us to reach home.
It was an interesting night!

To Prominent Iranian Feminists

2006-07-26T18:28:00.000-07:00

How do you think you could help women in the homeland?
Unfortunately, you need help more than them since you can't speak kindly to each other!
You may approach freedom through different ways, but you all have one "aim".
If you want to be sucessful, you must be united at first.

Iran's problems

2006-07-20T09:11:00.000-07:00

However, some spesial women like Sedighe Dolatabadi (1882-1971),
have tried to change the living conditions of women in Iran and help them to solve their problems, now adays in Iran, most of these problems still exist.

It's interesting, isn't it?

My Lecture

2006-07-13T11:48:00.000-07:00

I shared my information about Iranian women and their challenges with Islamic rules in the class yesterday.It was really hard.
Some of the muslim students glared at me , but I continued my lecture.

2006-07-04T14:49:00.000-07:00

Some essays really show the women's problems in Iran.
You can read this and this .
It's better for you to live there in order to understand them.

It's a good idea,but I need some more reasons ......
