Entry 397 — The Long Division Machine in Action
From a May 2009 blog entry (because, again, I have nothing better to post):
This pretty exactly shows how a long division example strikes me: that is, I see it, in motion, rather than read it. I feel it. Hence, it’s automatically more meaningful to me than it is to most others. I find it wonderful how the dividend shed can take two terms and chunk out one meaningful way they relate to each other.
