A beautiful mind.
John Forbes Nash, Jr. was a child prodigy. While other boys his age were playing childhood games in their hometown of Bluefield, West Virginia, John was reading E.T. Bell’s Men of Mathematics. Learning more at home than he did at school, the young lad (who was encouraged by his educated parents) was able to solve some of math’s most difficult problems. Accepting a full-ride fellowship to Prince...
متن کامل“The great tragedy of science: the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.”
Dental amalgam has been maligned as a filling material, both because of its clinical properties and its alleged effects on systemic health, but reports of its demise have been premature.

متن کاملBeautiful Interpolants
We describe a compositional approach to Craig interpolation based on the heuristic that simpler proofs of special cases are more likely to generalize. The method produces simple interpolants because it is able to summarize a large set of cases using one relatively simple fact. In particular, we present a method for finding such simple facts in the theory of linear rational arithmetic. This make...
متن کاملPhysics in a Beautiful Context
Like many of the readers, my training during college and graduate school focused on experimental methods for studying cellular, molecular, and developmental systems. This training included little formal education in physics and mathematics beyond the minimal requirement, a single semester of calculus and one to two semesters of physics. If the reader is anything like me, we are now wishing that...
متن کاملA Beautiful Proof by Induction
The purpose of this note is to present an example of a proof by induction that in the opinion of the present author has great aesthetic value. The proof in question is Thomassen’s proof that planar graphs are 5-choosable. I give a self-contained presentation of this result and its proof, and a personal account of why I think this proof is beautiful. A secondary purpose is to more widely publici...
