Maths is front page news!

Indeed a maths-orientated article has made it to the front page of the much-used Wikipedia as the article of the day!

Have a gander at the main page, or the article itself if you're not reading this today (if that last bit makes any real sense...).

Re: Maths is front page news!

My favorite is the Nested intervals and least upper bounds.  I knew about all the things the article mentioned, but the way in which it is applied is so clever.


"In the real world, this would be a problem.  But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist.  So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
