I didn't mow my lawn today...........in circle or squares..................rectangles, obloids, parabolic arcs, tangentially, or using derivatives to calculate the shortest path of my lawnmower.
Tomorrow or Thursday will be lawn mowing. As for figuring out the shortest path with calculus, I probably don't even have to break out the slide rule anymore. I can probably take a picture of the yard and find an app at the google play store, show the app the picture, get a diagram and GPS coordinates, turn the GPS feature on in my phone (y'all don't leave that thing on all the time, do ya's? ), and duct tape the phone to the lawnmower handle and follow a curser.
Guys, it's 2109 or something, right? How hard can it be to figure out what geometric pattern you want to use to mow your lawn?
Buncha Luddites, probably still using fossil fuel in the mower even.
