On the wall are some of my friends -- people who have taught me good things.
From the left -
Felix Hausdorff (Who did so much for topology, and who took his life before being deported to a concentration camp)
Gosta Mittag-Leffler (complex analysis)
Alvin Turing (Computability)
/below, hidden somewhat/ Tesla on a blue Serbian banknote, Newton, Stefan (of Stefan-Boltzman fame), Feynman/
Sofia Kovalevskaya (PDE's)
Cahit Arf (on the Turkish 10 lyre bill - topologist)
Emmy Noether (Rings & Fields)
HSM Coxeter (Canadian geometer ... I met him when I was in High School!)
Euler (on the Swiss 10 Franc banknote)
Srinivasa Ramanujan
Felix Klein
Fourier
and I'm resting on a Friden STW calculator that I've rebuilt.
I have one of his books about polytopes and find it hard to wrap my head around the details, despite a childhood interest in higher dimensions. The diagrams are terrific!
