I just realized my least favorite mathematicians share a name with my favorite revolutionaries

Augustin-Louis Cauchy & Augustin Robespierre

François Viète & François Hanriot

God why must you curse me in this way

a post after a lengthy slumber. heath finally has a boss jesus christ

i need to start drawing more here she is! i did draw a beta concept before but back then she was kind of more like a maiden but i decided to change it

"Abbiamo brutte cere, frutto di emozioni contrastanti

Di rimpianti, di bugie da mettere a tacere

Ok, piacere, conosciamoci di nuovo

In ogni modo cerco di nasconderti l'amore che non provo."

In the process of mathematical research, dialectical conflicts are of fundamental significance: analytic/synthetic, axiomatic/constructive, … algebraic-geometric…. The development of analytic geometry is usually attributed to Descartes and Fermat. Ancient Greek geometers used relations between curve segments which, from a present-day standpoint, are like equations for the curves in cartesian coordinates. However, the analytic perspective was not fully developed. Th basic idea of each analytic method is the reduction of a system to a few basic elements. The advantage of simplification gained in this way may possibly be opposed by the disadvantage of complexity in the reconstruction of the system from the basic elements. In the case of analytic geometry the reduction consists in choosing two perpendicular lines in the plane [or any two intersecting lines!] and determining the position of points on a curve by their distances x,y from these lines. The simplicity of the reduction of the description to a position relative to only two lines is opposed by the complexity of the equation f(x,y)=0. The Greeks, whose thinking was perhaps more synthetic than analytic, preferred to muse many auxiliary lines, in order to attain simple relationships. The advantage of the analytic method, the reduction of geometric relations to complex quantitative relations — only came to light after algebra had been developed in the East and imported into the West. Fermat had the idea of analytic geometry in 1629. Descartes published his geometry in 1637, but had worked on it earlier, perhaps since 1619. Descartes’ _Geometry_ brought classical geometry within the scope of algebra. The book was originally published as an appendix to _Discours de la Method_. Descartes searched for a general method of thinking. Since the only [decent system] was mechanics, mathematics became his means for understanding the universe. His _Geometry_ actually contains little analytic geometry in the modern sense, no "cartesian" axes and no derivation of the equations of conic sections as in Fermat. Ancient Greek geometers had considered not only lengths x, y of segments but also their products, such as x², x³, xy, etc. But *they were not regarded as numbers of the same type*. Descartes abolished this distinction: An algebraic equation became a relation between numbers, an advancing abstraction, which one can regard as the final adoption of the algorithmic tradition of the East by the West. … Thus it was that the geometry of plane curves became analytic geometry, the investigation of the equations defining curves by algebraic and analytic methods. This was the starting point for two hundred years of development, after which the tendency to synthesis again came to the fore.

I’ve pared down Brieskorn’s words and removed any compliments in the description of Descartes. Why has mathematics been good? Where’s the evidence that it led to “invention”? Where is the evidence that abstraction has been good? Having, over some time, read about the exterior product (wedge operator ^), it seems that the distinction between 1-dimensional and ≥2-dimensional quantities has been reinvented, e.g. electromagnetism exerts 2-dimensional forces, as does mechanical rotation.

Te iubesc din alte vieti, cum iubesc marii poeti

[21518]

Kas man pasaulis, jei aš jam vieta tuščia,

Kaip duobė, kurią galima pakeisti kita,

Kuri skirta prilyti ir tapti bala

Arba avarijos pradžia?

Aš numirsiu, kai mane užkas,

Užpils betonu ir pirmoji pėda žengs ant manęs.

Visi kapą matys, bet nė menkos idėjos neturės,

Kiek vaikų džiūgavo taškydamiesi joje

Ir kliegesių ir šypsenų gausos,

Kurią girdėjus mano ausis.

“Amor ti vieta” - Love forbids you… Composed by Umberto Giordano from the Opera, Fedora (1898). Everytime I perform this aria it feels like the 100 metre dash. You must hit the ground running and you never stop until the very last note. It’s the type of aria that demands the singer continually give and give and give. You can never hold back, the music demands that you should never hold back your power and your passion. Franco Corelli and Mario del Monaco are two performers I admire very much and they both perform this aria uniquely. At one point in my vocal development this aria represented a certain milestone of achievement, but as I write this blog on August 18, 2017; I think there are more arias that have overtaken this one and represent more ambitious milestones and I can’t wait to share these new arias with you in the future. Looking forward to acheiving more and harnessing more out of my potential… Hugs, kisses and all my love, xoxo YC
