Sven Yrvind - Inspiring

 

Reading a comment by Sven Yrvind, about boat design today - led me on an eclectic thread of reading adventures...

 

To mathematics...

 Algebra > permutations  > combinations > partial permutations

Galois theory, Function composition

 

To lives of famous mathematicians...

Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi (717-786) > Fabian Stedman (1640-1713) > Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) > Évariste Galois (1811-1832)

 

To the culture of of the Bedouin...and the emergence of the formal grammar of the Arabic language...

 

To the concept of Tafsir...the exegesis of the Quran.
