They're very popular for tattoos now you know. Maybe you could create celtic tatt designs and sell them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1149188946272612752006-06-01T12:09:00.000-07:002006-06-01T12:09:00.000-07:00Shucks!!Shucks!!Cyn Bagleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404416186783891402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1149144062122116062006-05-31T23:41:00.000-07:002006-05-31T23:41:00.000-07:00;^)That's pretty cool, but somehow it's not the sa...;^)<BR/><BR/>That's pretty cool, but somehow it's not the same...C.

I think that I do not have an erdos number. ;-)<BR/><BR/>But I am in the Who's Who of the World.

Then cut any one of the bands at any point. All of the rest of them will become completely untangled from each other!!!!<BR/><BR/>If you look closely and use some imagination, you can kind of see that it works.<BR/><BR/>For a long time I had a dream of writing a serious research paper saying something about tangles that have this property, but I never really succeeded in coming up with any sort of invariants or theorems about them. Just a few interesting examples...<BR/><BR/>However, if some other mathematician wants to build on this an write a joint paper with me, I'd be happy to do so!!! :D<BR/><BR/>Especially if you have an Erdos number. I'm so jealous of my husband that he has such a low Erdos number (something like 3 or 4...), so it would be cool for me if my Erdos number were something finite instead of infinity... ;-)C. L.

People who can do math are sort of demi-heroes to me. Not my strength, but I find it fascinating (as long as I don't have to DO it -- then I just find it frustrating).Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006115623631732544noreply@blogger.com
