“We were interested in, if you like, the amalgamation of mathematics and cooking tips — the profane, the sacred,” Mr. Legendre said. “I was actually speaking to someone in Paris last week who said, ‘This might have been a project by Dali.’ ”
The book classifies 92 types of pasta, organizing them into an evolutionlike family tree. For each, the book provides a mathematical equation, a mouthwatering picture and a paragraph of suggestions, like sauces to eat it with.
Photographs, mathematical equations and descriptions of unusual pasta shapes from the book “Pasta by Design” by George L. Legendre.
You can torture numbers into very unmathematical contortions — contortions that will make you smile.
The mental activity associated with coding and all IT work is that of mathematics”, says Dr. David Dubin, medical director for Sleep Recovery Centers, Inc. “And the frequency produced by the mathematical brain is clearly that of beta. In code writers, that beta is totally pushed to extremes”.
It seems that there is also a fine line between mathematical beta and and the anxiety producing brainwave hi-beta as well. When the human brain develops an habitual daily pattern of beta, it can migrate upward into this next level of frequency range. And if this goes on long enough, chronic insomnia is usually what follows.
