Enjoyed following the story of Coxeter (Cambridge, Princeton, U of Toronto), and/vs Bucky (unaffiliated), followed initially from your blog. Recognize the clash of sensibilities some. And the side story: Seems that we might have more domes around if Bucky had more of an OpenSoruce sensibility and hadn't patented the triangle ;) And I suspect you might be less hostile sounding to academia if you were not incited by its inability to get to 4 when counting the dimension of apparent space. Let it go. Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
