a (sga) question for the ages:

[ekaterinn]

Would Rodney find John insanely attractive right away, even from the side? Or would he have to turn around and ideally display some interest in math? my braincells may depend on your answer!

also, what kind of math would John be interested in? racousraven, do you know of any especially cool math from your NUMB3RS watching?

And I'm halfway tempted to go with fractals for now, simply because they sound cool.

Fractals do sound cool. Especially fractal complexity -- it's an idea (and a model) I find rich in possibilities.

Fermat's Enigma (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/item.asp?Item=978014026869&Catalog=Books&Ntt=fermat%27s+enigma&N=35&Lang=en&Section=books&zxac=1)
Zero: the biography of a dangerous idea (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/item.asp?Item=978014029647&Catalog=Books&Ntt=zero%3A+biography+of+a+dangerous+idea&N=35&Lang=en&Section=books&zxac=1)

Those are the two math books I've read most recently. Note that neither is written for specialists! Both are fascinating, but the one on Fermat was also really, really gripping -- couldn't put the thing down, even to go to sleep, although I already knew how it ended.

Oooh neat! Thank you so much! And, fractal complexity seems interesting...perhaps I'll use that. ^_^
