- Did You Know? Port Williams (sequimgazette.com)
My dad passed away in 2013 and now I find myself taking these drives and picking a random spot. And since 2020 has been the year of drives, with one at times not being able to do anything else, I found myself back at Port Williams — or what’s now called Marlyn Wayne Nelson Memorial Park. ¶ The Clallam County park is described today as a beach for families, birdwatchers, dog lovers and beach walkers. But as I drove down the road that ends at the park, I wondered how many people knew about Port Williams, and did they know there had been an active port there at one time?
- Arithmetic (Wikipedia)
Arithmetic (from Ancient Greek ἀριθμός (arithmós) ’number’, and τική [τέχνη] (tikḗ [tékhnē]) ‘art, craft’) is an elementary part of mathematics that consists of the study of the properties of the traditional operations on numbers—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extraction of roots. In the 19th century, Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano formalized arithmetic with his Peano axioms, which are highly important to the field of mathematical logic today.
