A Mad Night’s Work*
Last night's posts on triangles, and today's anniversary of the
death of Evariste Galois, suggest a review . . .
"Take triangles, perhaps" . . . as a category.
And then . . . take squares, perhaps, as another category,
and then . . . find a suitable "translation machine."
See "Square Triangles."
* Title adapted from a 2001 essay by Pierre Cartier.
