Pictoral Mathematics is simply mathematics using pictures as they apply to Aaronometry.
The figure above is known as Happy. It has a value of 200,000,000,000, which is 2.0 x 1011, or 200 billion.
Pig is equal to -1.5 . . . .
. . . . and Chef is equal to 17,000. The above three picts (that's what they are called) are the three basic picts you will need to know. The other ones are, for the most part, logical.
Flaming house, for example, is equal to house plus fire. See? It's that simple!
Faces come in Happy, Sad, Indifferent, and Chaotic (without delving into Directional Aaronometry). Each of them has a value.
You don't really need to remember anything beyond happy and sad for now. The other ones are too advanced for you.
Adding a body to a face changes its value through addition.
The body's value is represented by this:
So, try this:
|
STEP 1: Rewrite the problem. |
| (-200,000,000,000 + 12.6) + 16 | STEP 2: Simplify the head and body. |
| -199,999,987.4 + 16 | STEP 3: Solve the parentheses first. (Order of Operations) |
| -199,999,971.4 | There's your answer! Huzzah! |
No face is complete without a hat. Do not take that to mean that all faces must have hats, because that is not true. It is just a figure of speech.
However, the value of a hat can only be represented by a piecewise function.
This is probably one of the hardest things to understand in all of Aaronometry, although there are far harder things. An example should help.
 |
STEP 1: Rewrite the problem. |
( 200,000,000,000 + 
) + 3n |
STEP 2: Simplify the face. |
 |
STEP 3: Since n is equal to happy, then the value of hat is 50. |
| ( 200,000,000,000 + 50 ) + 3n | STEP 4: Insert this into the equation. |
| ( 200,000,000,000 + 50 ) + 3 (200,000,000,000) | STEP 5: Insert the value of n. |
| 200,000,000,050 + 3 (200,000,000,000) | STEP 6: Solve the parentheses. |
| 200,000,000,050 + 600,000,000,000 | STEP 7: Distribute the 3. |
| 800,000,000,050 | It's that simple!!! |
