This collection contains several maths stories. The one I recommend is Division By Zero,about Jane Parkinson,a brilliant German mathematician.To her great despair,she ends up proving that mathematics is inconsistent and is able to prove that any two numbers are equal.A beautiful,thought-provoking(发人深省的)story about belief,understanding,and faith.
What does“I”refer to in Paragraph 1?
A.Catherine Chung. | B.Ted Chiang. |
C.Jane Parkinson. | D.Yoko Ogawa. |
10 . “We showed it’s possible for animals to live in an environment they are not used to: microgravity,” Poynter says.
In 2014, Poynter and Maccallum achieved another first. They led the engineering team that helped former Google exec Alan Eustace skydive from the edge of the stratosphere. That’s when it hit them: The balloon-parachute system they designed for Eustace could be transformed for tourism and research. So they formed World View, with MacCallum serving as chief technical officer.
