my love-letter to the humanities: a book on mathematics & poetry. it starts with the question: "Where the Hell is Heaven?" thesis: in imagining the afterlife, poets from ancient times used the same imaginative skills that geometers and topologists use to imagine abstract

not gonna screen-shot & dump on those commenting on the depth of linear algebra... for i too was once a fool and did not appreciate its beauty (a long time ago)... better to point out beauty than ridicule stupidity... so here is something beautiful about linear algebra (or, even,

there once was a writer named witt whose actions would shock you (a bit) his piece tried to playtrices with products of matrices and math nerds just want him to quit
