BTW, Dr. Elkies, the author of the CGT chess article I mentioned a few days ago, has quite an impressive curriculum. Among other things, he disproved Euler's conjecture for fourth powers.
Intrigued by Fermat's last theorem, Euler proposed a variant which states that the sum of n-1 nth powers cannot equal another nth power (n>2.)

As you may have heard before, the Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio (phi,) are directly related to the perception humans have of beauty. Artists and architects have used it for centuries to produce stuff we find appealing. Applies to human beauty as well, and the types of faces we find attractive.

Saturday morning. Went to bed relatively early last night, so I am already awake.
Very quiet out.
I may stay in tonite. I heard from Judit that they'll be in town tomorrow for sure, so we'll hang out in the evening. Jose arrives Sunday, so I'm, sure we'll hang out some as well.
