Here's Looking at Euclid

Alex Bellos answered my reader appreciation letter about his book, Here's Looking at Euclid. Now I am writing him back like an excited Tigger-that-I-can-be with my enthusiasm. I hope I don't bounce him into the stream the way Tigger bounced Eeyore there.

I am really enjoying the book & generally reclaiming my mathishness. His book is full of all manner of ideas that are lighting up my thinking.




These are two images from an app on my iphone. It's called Geome-trees.

Well, the next lot youmight not look upon as math, but you better believe it, I see it that way. Folds & Wrinkles!!

Oh My!

These were taken at a once-in-a-lifetime farm auction.
WHAT A SET of images!!

The origami of jeans.














That's it for today.

    You really captured the regularness possible with those knee backs with one of those (on the right, near the bottom). Such a perfect and repeating shape!
