With the end of another academic term, and a break for the summer, I've been taking stock of my remaining course work. When I earned my Bachelor of Science in Design at the University of Cincinnati in 1978, I had completed a variety of liberal arts classes. But mathematics wasn't one of them. So the folks at the Art Institute have informed me that I must take a math class to earn my degree. My choices appear to be either "Ideas of Mathematics" or "College Geometry." (Hey, can someone tell me why geometry is often taught as part of a philosophy curriculum?)

Meanwhile, as part of our Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy, Ma and Pa Kettle take a few minutes out of their busy schedule... to do the math.
