Always put cool pictures, graphics or diagrams with your writing unless you are writing a religious text. Lesson; I am not qualified to write religious text.
This is a graph of the standard normal curve using isotopically scaled axes. You never see this graph scaled like this except in my class. If you want to know why I present it this way, you will have to take my statistics class. Click on the cool graph above to find out more. Lesson; Advertising is a sneaky way to entice you to do something you probably would not do on your own.
The Three Rules of Leadership
- If you are the leader, don't quit, because if you quit you won't be the leader anymore.
- Don't panic, because if you panic you will quit and then you won't be the leader anymore.
- See rule 1.
| Just in case you were wondering what isotropic scaling is, I've created this table of images to explain. Lesson; isotropic means 'IS isotropic' and anisotropic means NOT isotropic. Lesson; Even though I haven't even explained isotropic yet, here you are following my trail even though you probably don't care what isotropic scaling is. Don't give up yet, the good stuff is next. | |
| Here are 3 pictures of 1 green-faced Martian who has a perfectly round face that is 138 thumbs wide and 138 thumbs tall. Lesson; Martians use an even stupider unit of length (thumbs) than we use (feet). | |
1 of many Anisotropic versions of the vertical type: Squeeze his 138 thumb wide face into 81 thumbs to make him look stressed. Lesson; Sometimes you have to grab (not get) someone's attention. |

The one and only Isotropic version: Un squeezed and un squashed, he looks his well-rounded best. Lesson; Isotropic scaling is special because there is only 1 way to do it. |

1 of many anisotropic versions of the horizontal type: Squash his 138 thumb tall face into 81 thumbs to make him look depressed. Lesson; Same data, different format makes a big difference. |
