When Visiting Professor of Mathematics Stavros Garoufalidis returned from intersession to teach the second half of Mathematics 22, "Honors Linear Algebra and Calculus," he saw nearly two-thirds fewer faces in his introductory level course...
...women's dress evolve from the balloon-derriere silhouette of the 19th century to the cleaner, linear look that has characterized the 20th? This show at the Met's Costume Institute makes the dazzling and utterly convincing visual argument that what facilitated the transition was the influence of Cubist painting and theory. From the tunics of Callot Soeurs to the cylindrical day dresses of Vionnet to the drop-waist skirts of Chanel in the 1920s, fashion's deflation followed the Cubist embrace of the plane. In other words, liberated from corsets, women everywhere owe a thank-you to Picasso...
Calculus and Linear Algebra," a course intended for students, primarily first-years, who have had, according to the Courses of Instruction, substantial experience with abstract mathematics...
...assume that mathematics as we know it is still valid within Memorial Hall. We must look to alternate explanations for the phenomenon. Assistant Professor of Mathematics Mike J. Nakamaye, who teaches Math 25a: "Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra," has put forward one theory. "Measurements of fat content in Annenberg food undoubtedly rest on faulty linear approximation techniques," he said in an e-mail message. "To the extent that the food at Annenberg is everywhere homogeneous and nowhere differentiable, linear approximations are doomed to failure...
Harvard students can explain anything from the Kantian moral imperative to the Gram-Schmidt reduction of linear algebra with the fluency of a matriarch's Yiddish and the passion reserved for TV evangelists. But ask them what they want to do after graduation and responses stall and stutter...
