Over the centuries the religious calendar has pursued its unchanging annual repeating orbit and successive generations of mankind have obediently participated in its ceremonies from their cradles to their graves. In turn, they all came to know that Faith must be built on a foundation of Truthand yet, hypocritically, in turn no one addressed the fallacies and enigmas which abound in the bedrock. Th is written piece is the presentation of the truth and to God be all the glory for I live only to serve.

Michelle Andrews began living in Florida in the late 1950s after the birth of her first child. She was your average mother, homemaker, wife, and semi-professional, making a living in the field of dentistry since high school. Two more children later and well into her second marriage and finally enjoying the "empty nest," her life takes a dramatic turn. After the death of her husband, Paul, her life takes on a new identity. With it come intrigue, fear, mystery, and new relationships. What she finds out about her dead husband throws her in the middle of The Imperfect Circle which she unwittingly becomes a part. A set of keys and a post office box become the focus of her life, and also the answer to a seven-year crime spree.

This textbook introduces generalized trigonometric functions through the exploration of imperfect circles: curves defined by |x|p + |y|p = 1 where p ≥ 1. Grounded in visualization and computations, this accessible, modern perspective encompasses new and old results, casting a fresh light on duality, special functions, geometric curves, and differential equations. Projects and opportunities for research abound, as we explore how similar (or different) the trigonometric and squigonometric worlds might be. Comprised of many short chapters, the book begins with core definitions and techniques. Successive chapters cover inverse squigonometric functions, the many possible re-interpretations of π, two deeper dives into parameterizing the squigonometric functions, and integration. Applications include a celebration of Piet Hein’s work in design. From here, more technical pathways offer further exploration. Topics include infinite series; hyperbolic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; metrics and norms; and lemniscatic and elliptic functions. Illuminating illustrations accompany the text throughout, along with historical anecdotes, engaging exercises, and wry humor. Squigonometry: The Study of Imperfect Circles invites readers to extend familiar notions from trigonometry into a new setting. Ideal for an undergraduate reading course in mathematics or a senior capstone, this book offers scaffolding for active discovery. Knowledge of the trigonometric functions, single-variable calculus, and initial-value problems is assumed, while familiarity with multivariable calculus and linear algebra will allow additional insights into certain later material.
