A Sunday Sermon: Math Noir

From this journal  last Sunday morning . . .

From this journal  this  morning . . .

"In conclusion: what an axiomatic presentation of a piece of mathematics
conceals  is at least as relevant to the understanding of mathematics
as what an axiomatic presentation pretends  to state." — Gian-Carlo Rota

As for noir . . .

Consider how Apple TV recently created "brutal, exaggerated worlds
that originated in actual locations" and also created a villainous
private company named Axiom .

Some relevant history of mathematics . . .
