The World's Most Beautiful Equations?
music4l numb3rs asks: "'An exhibition of the world's most beautiful equations...and some of the ugliest ones too' is how the artist Justin Mullins describes his upcoming show in London. He's exhibiting a number of old favourites such as Maxwell's equations and Euler's relation plus some I've not come across such as entanglement. As for ugliness, he points to the four color theorem. My question to contemplate over the holiday period is: what do Slashdot readers think are the most beautiful equations, and the most ugly ones too?"
Do you really have to leave a question on the tail of each story to get slashdotters to post? Do you not think we'd post what we think even without your third grade Discussion Time questions used to force us to speak? I'm fairly certain that the readers here have no problem figuring out what to talk about in relation to the story. Adding those questions to the end of many entries is obnoxious and frankly, quite insulting. We don't need your prompt to speak, so please start cutting them out.
