"Ingrid, go tell the kitchen: fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish."
Steven Strogatz of The Opinionator has decided to embark on a series of blog posts to teach artists about math. He starts off with the basics in a post called From Fish To Infinity in which he extrapolates from a classic Sesame Street clip. "As adults," he suggests, "we might notice a potential downside to numbers. Sure, they are great time savers, but at a serious cost in abstraction." (Thanks, again, to Morris Wolfe for the tip.)
Excellent!
