Symmetry


You once said you were seeing Math with different eyes. That made me very happy.
Here is a video for your curious mind, as well as for your love of ideas and of symmetry. Just click on View video online.

Take a look when you have time to see how Math can be a red thread in the big maze we're living in. Besides, It's a topic I particularly like, and Galois' theory and the symmetries groups were part of my work for a teaching degree years ago.

The image is one of Escher's symmetry drawings. More of his works here.
Click on Picture Gallery, and then Symmetry.

Good thoughts.

Borrowed





Sometimes we "borrow" the hobbies of the ones we love, maybe as an effort to understand them better, maybe in our desire to share.
I have not got as far as to like trains, but I became truly fond of old cars. Perhaps because they stimulate my imagination and take me in times that might have been if not easier to live in, at least less alienating.
Anyway, I do enjoy their grace, their elegance and the stories they tell.
The photos are also borrowed from my son, Sorin was not so well and it was horribly hot to go out. But at 24 years old, 36 degrees are still OK.
I will only post a few, it might not be your cup of tea. Or is it? :)

Women in Science

Just in case you don't have it. Because this site is related to the history of women and the places they lived in.
I hope you like it.
