| | | | | Today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Martin Gardner. His books on mathematics had a huge influence on me as a teenager, and I'm a fan of his writing on magic as well, but it was only last year that I branched out into reading some of his essays on philosophy, economics, religion,... | |

| | | | | Finding solutions to systems of polynomial equations is one of the oldest and deepest problems in all of mathematics. This is broadly the domain of algebraic geometry, and mathematicians wield some of the most sophisticated and abstract tools available to attack these problems. The elliptic curve straddles the elementary and advanced mathematical worlds in an interesting way. On one hand, it's easy to describe in elementary terms: it's the set of solutions to a cubic function of two variables. | |
