Given two integers x,y>1. S knows s=x+y and P knows p=x y. We hear the dialog: P: ``I don't know x,y". S: ``I don't know x,y". P: ``I don't know x,y". S: ``I don't know x,y". P: ``I now know x,y". S: ``I now know x,y". What are the integers? t.co/2Bl2m8UmtD t.co/vLhUqWsVnr

Gogole generates Bach-inspired tunes with AI-powered Google doodle. My test: t.co/RkhD1QK38A Pretty cool. A similar thing has been done by a student in a Math 21b mathematica project t.co/ZuyREwqaB4 who used a database of written poems to enhance a given one. t.co/0ekAlu6EUG

Special pi day today: 3/14/2019 as 3142019 is prime. e^pi - pi^e = 0.68153 reminds of the golden ratio phi=1.61803. An identity to celebrate Pi Day: Pi^((E^Pi)^I)*Pi == 1.Picture: n=100;MatrixPlot[Partition[IntegerDigits[Floor[(10^(n^2)) Pi],10],n]] t.co/Sry8mmvaKf

Nice fire pits allow to relax near the Science Center Plazza at Harvard. Behind, the staircase structure with floors 2,3,4 (first terrace with my office),5,6,7,8 and telescope. Perspective renders the floor levels appear non-parallel. Additional non-linear distortion due to heat. t.co/9SWbZ3WQ12
