Master's Jewel: 3 - 4 - 5 (gpt) the 47th Problem of Euclid is often referred to as the "Master's Jewel." It signifies a Master Mason's commitment to continuous learning and the application of Masonic teachings in everyday life. Historically, the 3-4-5 triangle was used by stonemasons to create right angles when laying the foundations of buildings. This practical application underscores the importance of precision, accuracy, and a solid foundation in both construction and moral life. The 3-4-5 triangle is used to instruct initiates about the significance of geometry and the importance of building a strong moral foundation. It serves as a reminder that Masons should strive to balance their actions and maintain integrity in all aspects of life.

Its all in the math. The setting out on the Horizontal and the vertical plane and maintaining a point of reference to place, Screed and Float the concrete is the challenge . This is especially so when there are Falls and numerous plinths with different Characteristics.

Assignment --- (Principle) The principle that can be seen in this picture is balance when the right and left sides of the pipe stem are symmetrical forming a round shape

As we continue our discussion on linear algebra, we turn to the fundamental matrix concept of elementary row operations. This allows us to place a matrix in row echelon form and reduced row echelon form which can be used as a foundation for investigating other fundamental matrix characteristics in the future. https://lnkd.in/gh4F7_xT

What are the limitations of the Mohr-Coulomb strength model? For an easy explanation read this excellent paper by Rodrigo Salgado.

"Structures which minimise area appear in numerous geometric contexts often related to degeneration phenomena. In turn, in many situations these structures also reflect the ambient geometry in some way (they are ‘calibrated’) and so they may provide a way to study the interplay between geometry and topology, as has historically been the case for variational methods in geometry. Almgren developed a theory which established that these area minimising structures are manifolds away from a codimension 2 ‘singular set’. The singular set itself, however, remained rather mysterious, including whether it necessarily has locally finite measure, unique tangent cones, or geometric structure (rectifiability). In this talk I will attempt to give an overview of these ideas, as well as of recent work (joint with Camillo De Lellis and Anna Skorobogatova) answering some of the questions above related to singularities of area minimisers." https://lnkd.in/e2DZfxHa
