For Hemingway’s birthday:
Mathematics and Narrative, continued
“We know many little things about the relation between mathematics
and narrative, but lack one big comprehensive insight.”– John Allen
Paulos (pdf)“On Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002– 9/11/02– the New York State lottery
numbers were 911, an eerie coincidence that set many people to thinking
or, perhaps more accurately, to not thinking.”“Time and chance happeneth to them all.”
– Ecclesiastes 9:11
