About Merlin:

Greetings seeker of learning and knowledge. I am one of the guides in your life of choices that you may choose to direct you on the paths of knowledge, insight, and "wisdom". Knowledge is the presentation of data. Insight is seeing the relationships of the data in their discrete and extrapolated contexts. Wisdom is the efficient and elegant application of that data in the appropriate manner at the appropriate time. I offer you my skills in math and history. I consider math to be not only the basics for computational expertise, but a metaphor of the qualities and limits of life. The processes and function of math can be understood not only by the rote memorization of the different functions, but by the qualities with which you have interaction on a daily basis. For example, addition is more than an aggregate sum of numerals, but a description of a totality, plus or minus a reference point. 27 + 9 equaling 36, can be seen as the conventional plus-3 numerals to 30 and plus-6 more to 36 from 27, or it can be seen as the continuing series form 0-9, 1-8, 2-7,3-6 that is the up and down numerical escalator quality of adding 9 to a number. History is more than arbitrary dates of a particular cultural relevance. July 4, 1776 or July 14, 1789 mean more than the dates of liberation for the 13 American Colonies or the peasants of France, respectively. Those dates are the culmination of a process of individual stories that facilitated the present significance of two days in the calendar year. For either math or history the function processes and the names or dates are the tip of the iceberg for your comprehension and appreciation of math and history. To appreciate the beauty of the design of the function processes or the unintended consequences that weave into a mathematical or historical result is my mission. My methodology would to create a physical interaction as if you were on the ground level with the numerals or the participants so that you feel the cognizance of your knowledge, not just have an archival, impersonal bibliography that carries no connection to you personally. Props and role playing will supplement the dry didactic of reading to present these subjects to you. I want our hours of study to be your foundation for the learning process with our props of math and history. Merlin, Savant of the Magic of Fun.
