Math and Interesting
Sometimes math, sometimes interesting, sometimes math and interesting; but always either math, interesting, or both.
Professor Beilinson has written several interesting essays, which fall within the above guarantee:
- Before... An essay on nature, and people as part of that wider nature.
- Math as a Metaphor (or, Why Math Differs) Responding to a talk by Manin at the IMC, where he claimed that math is a metaphor, Sasha muses on what that metaphor may be.
- Israel Moiseevich Gelfand An essay on the mathematician, and on his style of mathematics, which Sasha continues in the Lagnglands seminar.
- A Salute to Michael Banks Our vision is not seperate from our eyes; our thought not from ourselves; not from our surroundings.
