Interests



             A few notes and comments on things that interest me most -
             just click on a topic (date of last revisions in brackets, most recent ones flashing as well!):



Dartmoor


       The moor in general, and Ordnance Survey mapping   (20.3.08)

             For grid references in the walks, that is, 6 figure numbers preceded by SX, refer to the section on the Ordnance Survey in the reference above. A link to the main Ordnance Survey page, opening it in a separate window, is given at the top of each walk page.

       Postbridge to the Grey Wethers (and maybe on to Sittaford Tor and Statts House)  (27.3.08)


Walks in Minoo


Mathematics, science and philosophy


       There are fascinating topics on the borderlines of each of those.


       Euler's theorem on solid figures

       Archimedes, mathematics, and weighing things

       The Kochen Specker paradox


The living world


             I decided (25th April 2008) to divide this section into linked essays on various topics.

       Cats  (18.5.08)

       Foxes  (25.4.08)

       Birds  (27.4.08)
