Near-miss math provides exact representations of almost-right answers.

quote [ Mathematical near misses show the power and playfulness of the human touch in mathematics. Johnson, Kaplan, and others made their discoveries by trial and error—by exploring, like biologists trudging through the rainforest to look for new species. But with mathematics it can be easier to search systematically. ]

Eh, can't read it with that stupid annoying ad they have on there to buy their magazine.

EDIT: Got to it on my PC. Anyone know of a decent ad-blocker for Android?

On my iPad, I got the same thing, but when I closed that tab and re-opened the link, the ad went away.
