"My background is in representation theory; my thesis is in this area of math called geometric group theory,"

So was mine until I got stymied trying to calculate square roots............

Some number sequences have had visual representation for quite awhile. 36-24-36.

you beat me to it!
I remember when Feynman invented these little diagrams, ha!
they helped quite a bit too

a picture can be worth a 1000 words
but
if i posted the kind of pictures that ARE worth that much,
Robinson would delete them

smile smile

Beat me to Feynman too. Well met though.

Kate Bush: "Pi"

She looses herself somewhere in the later digits though. But great song. I wish she would have let it just fade out.

The Harvard Commune shows pictorially, how Social Studies students can now build major automobile bridges. And do it without all that complex messy mathematics, just pictures.

The Harvard faculty has yet to volunteer to drive across the long, high bridge.

The so-called math nerds at the ticket table got it far wrong in Never Been Kissed: embarrassing.

I wasn’t in any math club, but I was a math nerd with time on my hands in high school:

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510...

I am working on a serial/decatonic piece that represents pi to 50; I call it: “A Slice of pi”.
