Math Encounters July 2024 "Imagine That! Math in the Art Museum" featuring Ingrid Daubechies
Join mathematician Ingrid Daubechies to hear the fascinating story of how an interdisciplinary and multicultural group of art historians, artists, mathematicians, and engineers teamed up to reunite, for the first time in more than 100 years, the eight known panels of a 14th-century Italian altarpiece - and then to reconstruct the missing ninth panel. While an art reconstruction expert was able to design and paint the missing piece, it took mathematical image analysis to "virtually age" the new panel - to mimic 650 years of aging pigments, dulling colors, and development of fine cracks. And once that was done, the team also figured out how to apply virtual aging in the reverse, transforming old, aged works to corresponding "freshly painted" versions, thereby rejuvenating age-old works of art. They even developed a program to address the impact of the stabilizing hardwood lattice backing many old paintings, digitally removing the effect of this "cradling" and creating a new, art conservator-friendly software tool called Platypus in the process.
Special introduction by Thomas Lin, founder of Quanta Magazine and Quanta Books.

Imagine five friends in a quilting circle decide to make five quilts in a "round robin" sort of way.

    Newton was not the first to do binomial expansions when r is not a positive integer. Newton was not the first to consider infinite sums that converge. Both were "in the air" in Oxford and Cambridge at the time, some by Isaac Barrow but mostly "the other guy at Oxford" (senior moment -- I can't recall his name). I think Newton's contribution was going from r=1/n (square roots, cube roots, etc) to general fractions, and in finding a neat way to find the formulas: for example, (1+x)^{1/2}*(1+x)^{1/2} = 1+x, so when you multiply out the terms in (1+x)^{1/2} they have to cancel. You can get any rational power, positive or negative, this way. I think Newton also found other surprising identities about binomial coefficients beyond their use in binomial expansions.

    "... the list of primes goes on forever ..." According to Edward Fredkin, infinities, infinitesimals, perfectly continuous functions, and local sources of randomness are figments of human imagination and do not occur in nature. I conjecture that the Riemann Hypothesis is true but unprovable in ZFC, but ZFC and Peano Arithmetic are contrary to empirical existence. There is a saying on Wall Street: Trees do not grow to the sky. Do an arbitrarily large number of positive integers occur in nature? Consider some conjectures: (1) There are three fundamental levels of physics: classical field theory, quantum field theory, & string theory, (2) There exist positive integers W, X, Y, & Z - each greater than 1 and less than 10,000 - such that the amount of classical information is < W^X, the amount of quantum information is < Y^ (W^X), and the amount of stringy information is < Z^(Y^(W^X)) , (3) String theory with Fredkin's finite nature hypothesis suggests dark-matter-compensation-constant = (3.9±.5) * 10^-5 .

    If another aspect of POV is to use Euler's implied symbolically connected inference in the projection-drawing picture-plane, on the Blackboard that is, how effectively the innate "whole message" of logarithmic condensation-coordination vanishing-into-no-thing Singularity-point positioning is exposed to view depends on the assembly of functional abstractions shown us by our Teachers. Eg if we are familiar with the entangled connection of Absolute Zero-infinity reference-framing containment positioning NOW of/by i-reflection Singularity-point, the expectation is that all potential positioning possibilities are contained, recognisable within the holography dimensionality of e-Pi-i 1-0-infinity sync-duration, represented by the Unit Circle of Infinity @.dt instantaneously.

    I think the question of who the giants were is the question is begged in too many discussions about Newton's thought. It needs to be discussed and the best discussion is to be found within the pages of Never at Rest, Richard Westfall's monumental biography of Newton. Often people cite portions of Newton's notebooks of the 1660s. But what they neglect is why he turned away from the new Cartesian mathematics after he had mastered it further than anyone living in the West. In his thirties, he gave a second shot at the ancient Greeks. He expressed his regretted his youthful arrogance when dismissing presumptuously the early books of the Elements of Euclid as being too simple. When he wrote the Principia, he wrote it in the style of his new heroes - Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius. Contemporary commentators doge the bullet by translating all Newton's proofs in synthetic geometry into modern algebra. Newton had said that the Greeks solved everything Descartes boasted of discovering and had done it more elegantly. Newton also explicitly decried what would happen if the mathematicians of the future neglected the Greeks.
