I of Newton



This is my favorite bit from, "The Twilight Zone," during it's brief resurgence back in the mid 1980's. It's so seldom that mathematicians are held in the level of awe we so richly deserve.

I really liked that. I'll have to run it past the boys tomorrow.


FYI--I am in awe of all mathematicians. On my best days, I speak just pigeon math. :)

In truth I'm like a middle-aged guy who was good at sports in high school. A good differential equation now would probably put me in L'Hopital :-D
