There seems to be a lot of new posters on the board and many seem to have voiced the same comment - that they can't share their children's accomplishments with anyone. So I think it's time for a brag thread!
What wonderful amazing things has your child done lately that you can't tell anyone? Boast away in all your glory!
(and I expect much more boasting details from all those posters on the "isolation thread"! Here's your chance!)
DS just uploaded a short, energetic arrangement of the Game Theory Intro theme, before he had to head back for a busy year of college. He wanted to try out some free falling note visualisation software:
He proposed doing this semester’s research project on mathematical functions of music composition, which did pique the interest of the professor who taught a second year maths function course which DS aced as a first year elective, but regrettably this professor is already over his quota of research students (DS should have contacted him at the end of last semester), so DS may have to pick a project from options in the fields of AI or alloys. The topic of math functions of music composition piqued my interest and I found the following paper to be an interesting read, not least for the URL links, at the end of the article, to some astounding palindromic classical compositions: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2020-10-13_Hart-MusicalComp-T.pdf
Thank you very much Indigo & 13umm for your kind, positive feedback. His finger dexterity is a legacy from a decade of speedcubing. He is also fortunate with his paternally inherited height and proportionately long digits and maternally inherited joint hypermobility.
PS: He has modified his arrangement, so has taken down the original video and uploaded a new video:
