Macro Monday (8.31.09): "Back to School"
Remember these EF half pencil/half ink erasers? The pink pencil side was always so perfect--just firm but pliable enough to erase without leaving a trace...then you'd go to use the ink side on a Bic-related mistake and it would shred your paper like a puppy with a new pair of shoes. Arrrggghh.

geometric Sunday
In the mathematical fields of topology and K-theory, the Serre–Swan theorem, also called Swan's theorem, relates the geometric notion of vector bundles to the algebraic concept of projective modules and gives rise to a common intuition throughout mathematics.
The two precise formulations of the theorems differ somewhat. The original theorem, as stated by Jean-Pierre Serre in 1955, is more algebraic in nature, and concerns vector bundles on an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic). The complementary variant stated by Richard Swan in 1962 is more analytic, and concerns (real, complex, or quaternionic) vector bundles on a smooth manifold or Hausdorff space.

This dictionary was given to me for my birthday by my parents in 1967 when I was in 8th grade. This will be the source of my information for this year's FAFM project.
1. A Algebra (al’-jƏ-brƏ) noun. [Italian < Arabic al-jebr, the reunion of broken parts < al the + jabara, to reunite] 1. The branch of mathematics that uses positive and negative numbers, letters, and other systematized symbols to express and analyze the relationships between concepts of quantity in terms of formulas, equations, etc.; generalized arithmetic; abbreviated alg. 2. A textbook or treatise dealing with the branch of mathematics..
I was a math major in college, and algebra was one of my favorite subjects. Years later, I helped tutor a number of students after school, and this index card was used to help them remember the "Quadratic Equation". The four steps were an inspiration to help them remember the process on solving these equations. Of course, they also had to know the slope-intercept formula, y = mx +b.
Okay, too much information at one time, but don't worry. my 2024 FAFM will not be all math! More fun topics to come! (And yes, some of my Lego Minifigures will also be assisting me!)
Austrian postcard by Verlag Hubmann (HDH Verlag), Wien, license holder for Ufa/Film-Foto, no. 7205 2. Photo: Universal International. Tony Curtis in Flesh and Fury (Joseph Pevney, 1952).
American film actor Tony Curtis (1925-2010) played a variety of roles, from light comedy, such as the musician on the run from gangsters in Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959), to serious dramatic roles, such as an escaped convict in The Defiant Ones (Stanley Kramer, 1958), which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. From 1949, he appeared in more than 100 films and made frequent television appearances.
Tony Curtis was born Bernard Herschel Schwartz in 1925 in Manhattan, New York City. He was the eldest of three children of Helen (Klein) and Emanuel Schwartz, Jewish immigrants from Hungary. His mother was later in life diagnosed with schizophrenia. His brother Robert was institutionalised with the same mental illness. Curtis himself admits that while he had almost no formal education, he was a student of the "school of hard knocks" and learned from a young age that the only person who ever had his back was himself, so he learned how to take care of both himself and younger brother, Julius. Curtis grew up in poverty, as his father, Emanuel, who worked as a tailor, had the sole responsibility of providing for his entire family on his meager income. This led to constant bickering between Curtis's parents over money, and Curtis began to go to movies as a way of briefly escaping the constant worries of poverty and other family problems. The financial strain of raising two children on a meager income became so tough that in 1935, Curtis's parents decided that their children would have a better life under the care of the state and briefly had Tony and his brother admitted to an orphanage. During this lonely time, the only companion Curtis had was his brother, Julius, and the two became inseparable as they struggled to get used to this new way of life. Weeks later, Curtis's parents came back to reclaim custody of Tony and his brother, but by then Curtis had learned one of life's toughest lessons: the only person you can count on is yourself. In 1938, shortly before Tony's Bar Mitzvah, tragedy struck when Tony lost the person most important to him when his brother, Julius, was hit by a truck and killed. After that tragedy, Curtis's parents became convinced that formal education was the best way Tony could avoid the same never-knowing-where-your-next-meal-is-coming-from life that they had known. However, Tony rejected this because he felt that learning about literary classics and algebra wasn't going to advance him in life as much as some real hands-on life experience would. He was to find that real-life experience a few years later when he enlisted in the navy in 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Inspired by Cary Grant's role in Destination Tokyo (Delmer Daves, 1943) and Tyrone Power's in Crash Dive (Archie Mayo, 1943), he joined the Pacific submarine force. Tony spent over two years getting that life experience doing everything from working as a crewman on a submarine tender, the USS Proteus (AS-19), to honing his future craft as an actor performing as a sailor in a stage play at the Navy Signalman School in Illinois.
In 1945, Tony Curtis was honorably discharged from the navy, and when he realised that the GI Bill would allow him to go to acting school without paying for it, he now saw that his lifelong pipe dream of being an actor might actually be achievable. Curtis auditioned for the New York Dramatic Workshop and was accepted on the strength of his audition piece, a scene from 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' in pantomime. In 1947, he studied acting under the influential German stage director Erwin Piscator. His contemporaries included Elaine Stritch, Harry Belafonte, Walter Matthau, Beatrice Arthur, and Rod Steiger. He then began to pay his dues by appearing in a slew of stage productions, including 'Twelfth Night' and 'Golden Boy'. While still at college, Curtis was discovered by Joyce Selznick, the notable talent agent, casting director, and niece of film producer David O. Selznick. After seeing his potential, Selznick arranged an interview for Curtis to see David O. Selznick at Universal Studios, where the 23-years-old Curtis was offered a seven-year contract. He changed his name from Bernard Schwartz to what he saw as an elegant, mysterious moniker, Tony Curtis, named after the novel 'Anthony Adverse' (1936) by Hervey Allen and a cousin of his named Janush Kertiz. Curtis began making a name for himself by appearing in small, offbeat roles in small-budget productions. His first notable performance was a two-minute role as a rumba dancer in Criss Cross (Robert Siodmak, 1949), in which he makes Burt Lancaster jealous by dancing with Yvonne De Carlo. This offbeat role resulted in Curtis's being typecast as a heavy for the next few years, such as playing a gang member in City Across the River (Maxwell Shane, 1949), starring Stephen McNally. Curtis continued to build up a showreel by accepting any paying job, acting in a number of bit-part roles for the next few years. It wasn't until late 1949 that he finally got the chance to demonstrate his acting flair when he was cast in an important role in an action-Western, Sierra (Alfred E. Green, 1950) starring Audie Murphy. On the strength of his performance in that film, Curtis was finally cast in a big-budget movie, Winchester '73 (Anthony Mann, 1950). While he appears in that film only very briefly, it was a chance for him to act alongside a Hollywood legend, James Stewart.
Tony Curtis was receiving numerous fan letters, so Universal awarded him the starring role in The Prince Who Was a Thief (Rudolph Maté, 1951), a Swashbuckler set in the Middle East with Piper Laurie. It was a hit at the box office and Curtis was now established. He followed it up with a role as a boxer in the Film Noir Flesh and Fury (Joseph Pevney, 1952), with Jan Sterling. His next films were the comedy No Room for the Groom (Douglas Sirk, 1952), and Son of Ali Baba (Kurt Neumann, 1952), another film set in the Arab world with Piper Laurie. Curtis then teamed up with then-wife Janet Leigh in Houdini (George Marshall, 1953), in which Curtis played the title role. He reunited with Burt Lancaster in the prestigious action drama Trapeze (Carol Reed, 1956). It was one of the biggest hits of the year. As his career developed, Tony Curtis wanted to act in films that had social relevance, ones that would challenge audiences. He achieved his first serious recognition as a dramatic actor in Sweet Smell of Success (1957) with co-star Burt Lancaster. The following year he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in The Defiant Ones (Stanley Kramer, 1958) alongside Sidney Poitier who was also nominated in the same category. Curtis then gave what could arguably be called his best performance: three interrelated roles in the now-classic comedy Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959) opposite Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe. That was followed by Operation Petticoat (Blake Edwards, 1959) with Cary Grant. These frantic comedies displayed his impeccable comic timing. He often collaborated with Edwards on later films. In 1960, Curtis played a supporting role in Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960). He was advised against appearing as the subordinate sidekick in Spartacus, playing second fiddle to the equally famous Kirk Douglas. However, Curtis saw no problem with this because the two had recently acted together in dual leading roles in The Vikings (Richard Fleischer, 1958). Spartacus became another major hit for him.
Tony Curtis's stardom and film career declined considerably after 1960. Curtis took on the role of the Ukrainian Cossack Andrei in the historical action romance epic Taras Bulba (J. Lee Thompson, 1962) featuring Yul Bryner and also with German actress Christine Kaufmann, who became Curtis' second wife. Curtis then focused on comedies such as Sex and the Single Girl (Richard Quine, 1964), with Natalie Wood; The Great Race (Blake Edwards, 1965), with Wood and Jack Lemmon, and Boeing Boeing (John Rich, 1965) a sex farce with Jerry Lewis. His most significant dramatic part came in 1968 when he starred in the true-life drama The Boston Strangler (Richard Fleischer, 1968), which some consider his last major film role. The part reinforced his reputation as a serious actor with his chilling portrayal of serial killer Albert DeSalvo. He later starred alongside Roger Moore in the TV series The Persuaders!, with Curtis playing American millionaire Danny Wilde. The series ran twenty-four episodes. In 2008, he published his autobiography 'American Prince: A Memoir' in which he accused many people he worked with of holding anti-Semitic views. He settled in Henderson, Nevada, where he eventually died in 2010. He was 85. Tony Curtis was married six times and had six children. His wives were actress Janet Leigh (1951-1962), German actress Christine Kaufmann (1963-1968), Leslie Curtis (1968-1982), Andrea Savio (1984 - 1992), Lisa Deutsch (1993-1994), and Jill Vandenberg Curtis (1998-2019 - his death). He was the father of Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis (with Janet Leigh), Allegra Curtis, and Alexandra Curtis (with Christine Kaufmann), Nicholas Curtis, and Benjamin Curtis (with Leslie Curtis). He became largely estranged from all six of his children. His son Nicholas Curtis, died of seizures due to an overdose of heroin in 1994. He disinherited all of his children from his will and left the bulk of his estate to his wife Jill Vandenberg Curtis, who was 46 years younger than he.

Born in Khiva around 780 CE, al-Khorezmi (or al-Khwarizmi meaning 'of Khwarizm', the original name of Khiva) was a great mathematician, scientist and author. He is considered the father of algebra (the word derives from the name of his book on the subject, Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah, which became the standard mathematical book at European universities until the 16th century. He made an even more important contribution (hard to imagine….) in developing the concept of an algorithm. In this capacity, some consider him to be the grandfather of computer science. The word algorithm is derived from a Latin corruption of his name.
In addition to his original work, al-Khorezmi also synthesized the work of other great scholars of the era. After reviewing various numerical systems, he adopted the Hindu system (in the western world, we incorrectly call it the Arabic system) of numerals and was the first to recognize the importance of the number zero. It was through al-Khorezmi's work that this numerical system spread to the Middle East and then Europe and the rest of the world.
Beyond mathematics, al-Khorezmi made contributions to the field of geography by supervising the creation of a map of the world and to astronomy where he wrote about clocks, astrolabes and sundials.
At the time, Khiva was part of Persian Khorasan that was under the auspices of the Arab Abbasid caliphate administered from Baghdad. Al-Khorezmi moved to Baghdad early in his life and studied there at the House of Wisdom, a scientific research and teaching center.

When I took the picture I saw a potential abstract from reality... When I opened it in Photoshop I found a Mensa-style puzzle:
3 (boards), 3 (Tacks), 2 (lines), 12 (staples)... what is the next number in the sequence?
I have no idea, I just take pictures...
I then noticed the algebraic equasion:
(3+3)2 = 12
Now I will toss and turn all night trying to work in the 4 corners...
*sigh* I should have simply deleted the silly thing.
Known for Abstract algebra, Amalie Emmy Noether; 23 March 1882 – 14 April 1935) was a German mathematician who made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She discovered Noether's theorem, which is fundamental in mathematical physics. She was described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl and Norbert Wiener as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed some theories of rings, fields, and algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws.
Noether was born to a Jewish family in the Franconian town of Erlangen; her father was the mathematician Max Noether. She originally planned to teach French and English after passing the required examinations, but instead studied mathematics at the University of Erlangen, where her father lectured. After completing her doctorate in 1907 under the supervision of Paul Gordan, she worked at the Mathematical Institute of Erlangen without pay for seven years. At the time, women were largely excluded from academic positions. In 1915, she was invited by David Hilbert and Felix Klein to join the mathematics department at the University of Göttingen, a world-renowned center of mathematical research. The philosophical faculty objected, however, and she spent four years lecturing under Hilbert's name. Her habilitation was approved in 1919, allowing her to obtain the rank of Privatdozent.
Noether remained a leading member of the Göttingen mathematics department until 1933; her students were sometimes called the "Noether boys". In 1924, Dutch mathematician B. L. van der Waerden joined her circle and soon became the leading expositor of Noether's ideas; her work was the foundation for the second volume of his influential 1931 textbook, Moderne Algebra. By the time of her plenary address at the 1932 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich, her algebraic acumen was recognized around the world. The following year, Germany's Nazi government dismissed Jews from university positions, and Noether moved to the United States to take up a position at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania where she taught, among others, doctoral and post-graduate women including Marie Johanna Weiss, Ruth Stauffer, Grace Shover Quinn and Olga Taussky-Toddone. At the same time, she lectured and performed research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Noether's mathematical work has been divided into three "epochs". In the first (1908–1919), she made contributions to the theories of algebraic invariants and number fields. Her work on differential invariants in the calculus of variations, Noether's theorem, has been called "one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the development of modern physics". In the second epoch (1920–1926), she began work that "changed the face of [abstract] algebra". In her classic 1921 paper Idealtheorie in Ringbereichen (Theory of Ideals in Ring Domains), Noether developed the theory of ideals in commutative rings into a tool with wide-ranging applications. She made elegant use of the ascending chain condition, and objects satisfying it are named Noetherian in her honor. In the third epoch (1927–1935), she published works on noncommutative algebras and hypercomplex numbers and united the representation theory of groups with the theory of modules and ideals. In addition to her own publications, Noether was generous with her ideas and is credited with several lines of research published by other mathematicians, even in fields far removed from her main work, such as algebraic topology

As phoebird requested, here are details of the triptich. A fine idea for flickr because one of the problems here is getting a sense for larger pieces that I do. This triptich will be about 18" x 48" on the wall, if not a little lerger. But I kind of like them as iindividiual statements too.
Even though spring exams are just as hard as the winter exams, the brighter light helps a lot. In Norway, as you might now, there is a huge difference in the amount of daylight during summer and winter. Today, I made a brighter version of a self portrait I made last semester, when the darkness of winter made everything more depressing.
It is kind of a double-edged sword, though. The urge to go out and play is a lot more pressing during spring as well. It's easier to stay focused in winter.
I Grok Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra. I found this copy of my fatherinlaw's "world renowned" book on Linear Algebra he wrote in the 1960s on eBay. At $8 and an old library copy we got it for the cheap entertainment of notes, where it had been (England) and other smalls.

"Got an A in Algebra? That’s Worth $120" by NATASHA SINGER via NYT t.co/IN1J0l0Fvu (via Twitter twitter.com/felipemassone/status/701058540962762753)
"Algebra applies to the clouds, the radiance of the star benefits the rose--no thinker would dare to say that the perfume of the hawthorn is useless to the constellations. Who could ever calculate the path of a molecule? How do we know that the creations of worlds are not determined by falling grains of sand? Who can understand the reciprocal ebb and flow of the infinitely great and the infinitely small, the echoing of causes in the abyss of being and the avalanches of creation?"
— Victor Hugo (Les Miserables)
Life's ebb and flow... good times and bad times come and go!

A Haiku to Math:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Dear Algebra,
Don't ask me to find your X
and don't ask me Y.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I was just a young lad I had what many of us fear the most... The Evil Math Teacher! She was a wicked, mean, nasty old ancient creature who seemed to take an unusual amount of pleasure in our not having any. I'm not sure why she was like that, perhaps the man she most loved ran off with another (understandably, probably became an Astronaut, minimum safe distance...), perhaps she had no friends or a poor upbringing or maybe, she was just mean and always had been. Some people are just like that, hiding some inner defiency under a coat of ugly I guess. I didn't wonder about that back then, I wondered how I was ever going to do well in this class, math is a difficult subject enough. I mean what the devil is the point of treating a bunch of young minds so poorly? About a month into the school year Lady Luck heard our prayers and smiled upon us, The EMT (Evil Math Teacher) had gotten herself pinched between two cars and had to have knee surgery to repair the damage. She would miss a majority of the year! I'm not one to celebrate others misfortunes- usually.
Our substitute teacher was a kind middle aged fella who was semi-retired as I recall. Good natured, soft spoken and even tempered, he was most welcomed by the class and as it turned out he was a pretty darned good teacher to boot. I was running a 'C' average with the female Lord Voldemort at the helm but after a few weeks with the substitute, my weekly quiz scores climbed steadily. The year passed by quickly but good fortune would not last, rumours began of her return.
The week of the finals rumour became reality and the wicked woman was there and passed out our tests, her knee apparently repaired, her character still broken, not too quietly she grumbled as we worked through to the end. We went home for the weekend and waited. Monday morning EMT returned our tests with the scores written in red ink at the top. My results, to her dismay and maybe a little of mine - was a 93! Far too good of a score for her to believe unfortunately, if I had passed with a 70 she wouldn't have thought twice, but a 93? No way was that going to fly. I was accused of cheating and nothing I would say could make her think otherwise, if I hadn't cheated then was not her teaching ability in question? I would have to retake the test... Alone... Just her... And I... After school... Two months of meanness bottled into one foul release. Fine! If it's a gunfight you want lady, you've got it. For once in my small, simple little life I'm ready, I'm prepared.
The end of the day found us together, our desks facing each other, her spectacled scrunchy eyes peering at me intently as I sat and retook the test, every movement observed. What? No pat down? The questions were the same but in different order, enough to throw me off if I had them written down inside my arm. The big white clock punched out the seconds in its usual distracting manner. On the thin side of 45 minutes later 'It' informed me time was up. She swept in and snatched the papers from my desk, and graded it on the spot. What could almost be called a good mood she finally displayed, surely thinking she had me now! But to my great satisfaction whatever inkling of happiness she was on the verge of was taken from her. My lips pursed at the corner into my best Clint Eastwood sneer ever. Her body convulsed as my bullets flew into her, hers missed me completely. The dust settled. It was over. The music could swell up now, for here at the end of the year, my second final test, I scored a 97!
Dorothy Vaughan was one of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics' (NACA) first African American female supervisors. In 1949, she was promoted as head of the West Area Computing Unit at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (now NASA Langley Research Center) in Hampton, Virginia. where she collaborated with other human computers such as Vera Huckel and Sara Bullock to compile an algebraic methods handbook for the mechanical calculating machines used by the group. During Vaughan's career at the NACA and at NASA, she became an expert FORTRAN programmer and contributed to the Scout Launch Vehicle Program. Vaughan was portrayed by actress Octavia Spencer in the Oscar-winning film "Hidden Figures." On June 1, 2017 she was inducted into the Langley Hall of Honor.
