Mike's World (brain farts and other adventures)Who would have thought it? After another morning at the Mathematical Association’s annual conference I found out that as well as their place in chaos theory (see The Dog Fish and Chaos Theory) apparantly some breeds of dogfish can swim in tessellating shoals…
Is it a fish or is it a dog, is it a fishdog? No its a dogfish. Some crazy people think dogfish are a type of shark but I think it is a close cousin of a beagle…
It is said that if a dogfish wags his tail in the South China Sea it can cause good surfing in Newquay. This is a known as the Dogfish Effect and is a key concept in Chaos Theory.
