Is that waltz music in the upper left? I would like to play it(waltz or not). If possible could you please post a close-up of it?

I read this early in my PhD, and it's been with me ever since. Chapter 1 grants a superpower that I cannot imagine living without.

"Just glue some gears on it and call it Steampunk" comes to mind except this is even more stupid.

I have been having these sorts of conversations since the Yom Kippur War of 1973 which coincided with the tail end of the Jesus Freak movement in the US. Some of my middle school went absolutely bonkers when they didn't get "raptured" or meet Jesus in person.

I knew this guy in high school. I'm not surprised he became a musician (he was really talented) but being on the soccer team with him did not prepare me for this surprise. He's running 100 miles for veterans. Watch if you please, donate if you like:

The number of non-equivalent distinguishing coloring partitions of the path on n vertices (n>=1) with exactly k parts (k>=1). Regular triangle read by rows: the rows are indexed by n, the number of vertices of the path, and the columns are indexed by k, the number of parts.

Photo of a drawing of mathematical art (descriptive geometry) next to a canvas showing the same drawing in an earlier stage (construction nearly done, no coloring yet). Both show how circles on a sphere containing the North Pole are projected onto lines. By elkement 2024/2026.

I am re-creating my 2024 drawing "Circles to Lines" on gesssoed and sanded canvas!

The construction is nearly done: Six circles on the surface of a sphere, containing the North Pole --> projected onto lines via stereographic projection.

Do you have your own trees? I am guessing from my previous experience with friends you need around 5 trees for that much sap to yield 50 oz.
