Am home, more later
Aug. 10th, 2008 03:50 pmAnd some of the entries I never got around to writing at PROMYS (well, just one, really, IIRC - a whole thing about Vlad, who I don't think I've done justice to with how little I've mentioned him) even more later.
First, though, I'm unlocking Neat stuff that couldn't go in last entry as PROMYS is over. In fact, Tim TeXed up his proof and they put it in the yearbook! (It's not new, it should be noted - it was first found back in the '70s. But he did come up with it on his own, and it's amazing how simple it is. Also, Phil claims it can actually be generalized to biquadratic reciprocity?)
The T-shirt is currently in the wash, so I can't give you its text, but I'll tell you the Glenn Stevens quote on the front:
"By day we experience, by night we describe." - G.H. Stevens
