John Lennon Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. Imagine building mathematical models that make it possible to manage our world better, imagine solving great problems, imagine new problems never before thought of, imagine music, art, poetry, literature, architecture, theatre and cinema with mathematics. Imagine the unpredictable and sometimes irrational applications of mathematics in all areas of human endeavour. Imagination and mathematics, imagination and culture, culture and mathematics. For some years now the world of mathematics has penetrated deeply into human cul- ture, perhaps more deeply than ever before, even more than in the Renaissance. In theatre, stories of mathematicians are staged; in cinema Oscars are won by films about mathematicians; all over the world museums and science centres dedicated to mathematics are multiplying. Journals have been founded for relationships be- tween mathematics and contemporary art and architecture. Exhibitions are mounted to present mathematics, art and mathematics, and images related to the world of mathematics. “Imagine Math” is intended to contribute to grasping how much that is interesting and new is happening in the relationships between mathematics, imagination and culture. A look at the past, at figures and events that made history, can also help to under- stand the phenomena of today. It is no coincidence that this volume contains an homage to the great Italian artist of the 1700s, Andrea Pozzo, and his perspective views. It also has a particular focus on Luca Pacioli, who remains today a source of inspiration not only for art, but for theatre. Here theatre, art and architecture are the topics of choice, along with music, literature and cinema. No less important are applications of mathematics to medicine and economics. Nor does this particular focus neglect the universality of mathematics, from its ori- gins in Mesopotamia up to the geometry of Japanese origami. The topics are treated in a way that is rigorous but captivating, detailed but full of evocations. An all-embracing look at the world of mathematics and culture. Michele Emmer Emmer M. (Ed.): Imagine Math. Between Culture and Mathematics DOI 10.1007/978-88-470-2427-4 1, c Springer-Verlag Italia 2012 Homage to Benoˆıt Mandelbrot The Fantastic World of Tor’ Bled-Nam Michele Emmer Let us imagine that we have been travelling on a great journey to some far-off world. We shall call this world Tor’ Bled-Nam. Our remote sensing device has picked up a signal which is now displayed on a screen in front of us. The image comes into focus and we see. [...] What can it be? Can it be some strange looking insect? Or could it be some vast and oddly shaped alien city, with roads going off in various directions to small towns and villages nearby? Maybe it is an island – and then let us try to find whether there is a nearby continent with which it is associated. This we can do by ‘backing away’, reducing the magnification of our sensing device by a linear factor of about fifteen. Lo and behold, the entire world springs into view. [...] Wemayexplore this extraordinary world of Tor’ Bled-Nam as long as we wish, tuning our sensing device to higher and higher degrees of magnification. We find an endless variety: no two regions are precisely alike – yet there is a general flavour that we soon become accustomed to. [...] What is this strange, varied and most wonderfully intricate land that we have stumbled upon? No doubt many readers will already know. But some will not. This world is nothing but a piece of abstract mathematics – the set known as the Mandelbrot set [1, p. 74-79]. The journey into the land of Tor’ Bled-Nam begins the chapter that Roger Pen- rose dedicates to the relationship between mathematics and reality in the book The Emperor’s New Mind. It may seem paradoxical that the Mandelbrot set is the first example that Penrose uses to confirm the Platonic reality of mathematical concepts, objects that can only be seen on the monitor of a computer!

  • Time Travelers Camporee a Compilation of Resources
    1 Time Travelers Camporee A Compilation of Resources Scouts, Ventures, Leaders & Parents…. This is a rather large file (over 80 pages). We have included a “Table of Contents” page to let you know the page numbers of each topic for quick reference. The purpose of this resources to aid the patrols, crews (& adults) in their selection of “Patrol Time Period” Themes. There are numerous amounts of valuable information that can be used to pinpoint a period of time or a specific theme /subject matter (or individual).Of course, ideas are endless, but we just hope that your unit can benefit from the resources below…… This file also goes along with the “Time Traveler” theme as it gives you all a look into a wide variety of subjects, people throughout history. The Scouts & Ventures could possibly use some of this information while working on some of their Think Tank entries. There are more events/topics that are not covered than covered in this file. However, due to time constraints & well, we had to get busy on the actual Camporee planning itself, we weren’t able to cover every event during time. Who knows ? You might just learn a thing or two ! 2 TIME TRAVELERS CAMPOREE PATROL & VENTURE CREW TIME PERIOD SELECTION “RESOURCES” Page Contents 4 Chronological Timeline of A Short History of Earth 5-17 World Timeline (1492- Present) 18 Pre-Historic Times 18 Fall of the Roman Empire/ Fall of Rome 18 Middle Ages (5th-15th Century) 19 The Renaissance (14-17th Century) 19 Industrial Revolution (1760-1820/1840) 19 The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) 19 Rocky Mountain Rendezvous (1825-1840) 20 American Civil War (1861-1865) 20 The Great Depression (1929-1939) 20 History of Scouting Timeline 20-23 World Scouting (Feb.

  • Ordered Equilibrium Structures of Patchy Particle Systems
    Dissertation Ordered Equilibrium Structures of Patchy Particle Systems ausgef¨uhrt zum Zwecke der Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der technischen Wissenschaften unter der Leitung von Ao. Univ. Prof. Dr. Gerhard Kahl Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik Technische Universit¨at Wien eingereicht an der Technischen Universit¨at Wien Fakult¨at f¨ur Physik von Dipl.-Ing. G¨unther Doppelbauer Matrikelnummer 0225956 Franzensgasse 10/6, 1050 Wien Wien, im Juli 2012 G¨unther Doppelbauer Kurzfassung Systeme der weichen Materie, die typischerweise aus mesoskopischen Teilchen in einem L¨osungsmittel aus mikroskopischen Teilchen bestehen, k¨onnen bei niedrigen Temperaturen im festen Aggregatzustand in einer Vielzahl von geordneten Struk- turen auftreten. Die Vorhersage dieser Strukturen bei bekannten Teilchenwechsel- wirkungen und unter vorgegebenen thermodynamischen Bedingungen wurde in den letzten Jahrzehnten als eines der großen ungel¨osten Probleme der Physik der kondensierten (weichen) Materie angesehen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Ver- fahren vorgestellt, das die geordneten Phasen dieser Systeme vorhersagt; dieses beruht auf heuristischen Optimierungsmethoden, wie etwa evolution¨aren Algorith- men. Um die thermodynamisch stabile geordnete Teilchenkonfiguration an einem bestimmten Zustandspunkt zu finden, wird das entsprechende thermodynamische Potential minimiert und die dem globalen Minimum entsprechende Phase identifi- ziert. Diese Technik wird auf Modellsysteme f¨ur sogenannte kolloidale “Patchy Particles” angewandt. Die “Patches” sind dabei als begrenzte Regionen mit abweichen- den physikalischen oder chemischen Eigenschaften auf der Oberfl¨ache kolloidaler Teilchen definiert. “Patchy Particles” weisen, zus¨atzlich zur isotropen Hart- kugelabstoßung der Kolloide, sowohl abstoßende als auch anziehende anisotrope Wechselwirkungen zwischen den “Patches” auf. Durch neue Synthetisierungs- methoden k¨onnen solche Teilchen mit maßgeschneiderten Eigenschaften erzeugt werden.

An "abstraction" (noun) is a concept that acts as super-categorical noun for all subordinate concepts, and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category. Abstractions may be formed by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose. For example, abstracting a leather soccer ball to the more general idea of a ball retains only the information on general ball attributes and behavior, eliminating the characteristics of that particular ball.
