I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
A 2010 “Graphical Computing” Calendar
The Make blog brought the Dead Reckonings blog to my attention. The blog is fascinating: consisting of essays of bits of lost mathematical lore, and nomography in particular. Author Ron Doerfler has some great stuff, and a cool give away: a calendar that demonstrates and explains many different kinds of nomographs. Of course, it’s kind of bad that I discovered the 2010 calendar in October of 2010, but such is life.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your nice words about my blog. I’ve been following your blog for about two years now and I think it’s great.
In the next few weeks I’ll be re-releasing the nomography calendar for 2011 (with only the dates changed) and also releasing a new calendar on another math topic. Next year I plan on creating a new calendar on advanced nomography and graphical computing.
Ron
