Haverford returns Descartes letter

My alma mater just discovered that they were holding a stolen Descartes letter in their collections.

Man. I wish I'd known that letter was there when I was a student. I would have taken the time to stare at words actually penned by one of the smartest people ever.

Still, I'm proud to have gone to a school that immediately returned something as soon as they realized they weren't the rightful owner.

Graphic Novel about math

I'm kind of curious to read Logicomix. It's a graphic novel about mathematicians arguing about the philosophy of math, and whether logic exists and can be useful in the real world.

And most of them are crazy. Which you always kind of suspected about really brilliant mathematicians.
