The Beauty of Mathematics

"To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in"
Richard Feynman

Welcome! This is a new site devoted to fascinating mathematics, addressed to the general reader. I intend to add pages and links to the philosophy of mathematics, prime numbers, topics from Operations Research, math software, puzzles and more.
I will be happy to know that you thought mathematics is boring and you changed your mind!

What's new.gif:
  • in More Links:

    • How to publish in scientific journals found by Argyris Kaldiris

    Direct links for OR people:
    An Introduction to Computational Complexity Theory: A readable introduction to the mathematics of problems classification and the famous Pne.gifNP conjecture (not all "reasonable" problems can be solved "efficiently")
    Graph Theory and the Web map: Concepts and applications of Graph Theory in the Net:  use the familiar concepts of Web pages and pointers to explain Graph Theory (any ideas about a maximal complete subgraph of the Web?)
    new.gifAn introduction to Integer Programming models (in Greek) contributed by Stella Sofianopoulou (PPT slides)
