saturday night i colored in the corners of this cube. the underlying black-and-white is based on a work of the great dutch artist m.~c.~escher. the cardboard cut-out version is from a collection by the american mathematician doris schattschneider. (_m.c._escher_kaleidocycles_). anyhow, i’ve had the whole “5 platonic solids” set from this work on display in the […]

☉ Sun ☽ Moon ♂ Mars ☿ Mercury ♃ Jupiter ♀ Venus ♄ Saturn On Monday, when Al first shows up for the Symposium, he finds Betty already there writing in her notebook, seated nearer to the aisle (up the middle of the room) than to the door, in the front row. “All that stuff […]

i’m going to SPACE next week. it’s columbus ohio, so the list narrows down pretty quick: the “arnold classic”, SPACE, and, um, let’s see… there *must* have been something else… “ameriflora”, maybe, in your dreams. “miracle mile”, back from the “miracle” days of the long-gone late-great thriving american working class that shopped (until it dropped) […]

Right. Here’s some old paperwork, alpha-tized as usual; do please maintain the order as it circulates so everybody can find their own work. Exam 1 is a week from tomorrow; Friday the I don’t know what — 28th, thanks.  Chapter 6 and the first part of 7;  I’ll be more precise by about Wednesday or […]

i know it shouldn’t bother me that for the whole rest of the connected world it’s trivially easy to capture images & move ’em around on the net. but by golly it does anyway. you could look it up. anyhow, on the image at home you can see all twenty-four group elements in all four […]

(the “typed” image will be munged by nearly any interface, i suppose… it looks lousy enough in mine, i know… i never thought i’d miss DOS boxes *then*…) ^ >==========> ^ | ____________________ | | ____________________ | | ____________________ | | ____________________ | ^ >==========> ^ the interior of our square can be conveniently co-ordinatized […]

BC’s are a certain species of what are (annoyingly) called “rationalizations”: excuses to avoid looking at something we… umm… fear? no, let’s not bring *that* into it… something we *aren’t willing* to look at (just now). i find “rationalization” (as a folk-technical term) annoying because it invites confusion: *who* (after all) will be able to […]

here… but not for long… is another page from the display i’m removing (the big version from the previous post is gone already). you can see a corner of the car-wreck-into-house shot again; also one “line”… the line at infinity, as i think of it, in fact… of a page showing a duality diagram for […]
