Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Still on the Riemann Hypothesis and Dr Opeyemi

ah math, we think it is the key to everything. someone like bacon or i forget who--oh, it was condorcet--opined that since we had calculus there were no more secrets to the universe. that was when calculus seemed magical. now think of al l those freshmen students suffering with double and triple integration, getting surfaces and volumes. baby science, all over again.
the real magic is poetry.
when poetry is forgotten, and math is universal, we'll be in trouble.
by the way, i was formerly a math major, before switching to humanities for my degree.

Not so fast Professor Harrow!

 "the mathematical inventions also include: Using Mathematical function to detect someone with crime intention, invention of I-cell key holder, which earned him best inventor of the year 2012 at the Ekiti State University… a model that would empower aircraft to detonate a bomb fired at it, generation of power from thunder and oceanic bodies, movable silos that could conserve agricultural products for five years and Mathematical invention for the protection of oil pipelines."

We know that mathematics is the language of science but having been taught so little and the liberated imagination having mostly been  more attuned to "The brightest heaven of invention" little did a non-mathematical ignoramus the likes of me know that mathematical applications extended so far from theoretical calculations into the field of practical, useful  invention.  Hopefully, he has obtained patents for these inventions and when some of them are put to practical use, the $$$ millions of dollars will start rolling into his bank account.( I know some  otherwise very ordinary Swedish guys & dolls  whose bank accounts are still being flooded with pay-outs for their inventions and songs)

At this point I am still reeling under the impact of Lucas Etter solving the Cube puzzle in FIVE SECONDS!

My curiosity is intense. I am still patiently waiting for Sheikh Bangura's mathematical application of Chaos theory which he has promised to apply to Professor Toyin Falola's literary masterpieces , the autobiographical "A Mouth Sweeter than Salt" and Counting the Tiger's Teeth . Assuming that I will ever understand the maths behind the literary genius, I am hopeful that Sheikh Bangura's analyses will tenderly anoint my eyes so that I may see the light (wisdom) and that that light will inform my own appreciation and help make it more complete, so that I can put the finishing touches to my won down to earth review of "A Mouth sweeter than water "

 Still in the mathematical realm, Rashad Khalifa took a lot of flak (especially from the South African Ullema at Port Elisabeth – the major critique I read ) for his theories about the Quran code 19 – said to be based on the Noble Quran ( in Arabic) 74:30 (Above it are nineteen) which Rashad Khalifa  closely associates with Quran: 9:128-129

i think we can do better than postings like this one. we've been round the issue many times, and this returns us to base one, and seems to trivialize it.
