1 December 2016
- 23:4523:45, 1 December 2016 diff hist +1,292 Golden ratio The (b = ka) idea is somewhat more easy for high-school students (whom I teach) to understand. I'll not be offended if it is deleted. But consider the 'show-your-work' utility.
1 April 2016
- 17:3317:33, 1 April 2016 diff hist +88 Demographics of the world Added population density as a convenience. Its what most people (who calculate) immediately ask about populations and areas.
