Sweet greetings!

Happy Pi Day!

IMAGE: This mathematically delectable dessert was created by the PBS News Hour's Facebook friend and birthday girl Kay Sweet in 2015 (find out what was so special about Pi Day 2015). By now the pie's all gone, but we still can savor it in our hearts.

And I used to think Math was boring

The "Visual Insight" page of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) includes some wonderful images.

Take the one I've "borrowed" here, titled {6,3,3} Honeycomb in Upper Half-Space, by Roice Nelson. I encourage you to access the article about this image on the AMS site.

I also encourage you to look at Roice's blog, which has some more wonderful imagery based on mathematical concepts that I don't understand.

I detest having to say I don't  understand the math (and I'm still angry over the way I was taught math in elementary school, which so profoundly bored me that I became viscerally aversive to later study of the discipline).

However, I am thankful that I don't have to understand it to enjoy this image.  I simply realize that if I did understand the math, I probably would enjoy it even more.

I am delighted that mathematicians now have access to computers that can create such images, and that I have access to an Internet that allows me to see and share them.
