I read a book recently called "A Tour of the Calculus" by David Berlinski, written to describe the calculus and what it does, rather than teach it. There's a couple of pages of analysis in most of the chapters, which is to say, just slightly more than I can take in. He thinks through the ideas of integration and derivatives, and includes things like the relationship between mathematical objects, physics and "la vie vecue". I like best that he calls it the calculus, the way Sir Isaac did.

But Euler's e, I still don't think I get it. It's a transcendental number, yup, it a logorhythmic function, it can be used as a base same as we commonly use base 10 or computers use base 2, right, and...it's the number whose...log is itself...no, but it loops back on it self somehow...Nope. Dunno. It has something to do with ants on a Moebius strip somehow.

In the jailhouse now?

I wonder if Firestone is one of those arrested yesterday on the steps of the Capitol. If so, you should get cracking on your prison memoirs.

This just in: the Tomatis Method comes to CIIS. Matt Egg and Augusta Dora rejoice.

Actress Margaret Whitton?

I'm happy today because I wrote "Moron rules" in wet concrete.
