  • Die Mathematiker sind eine Art Franzosen: Redet man zu ihnen, so uebersetzen sie es in ihre Sprache, und dann ist es alsobald ganz etwas anders ( Goethe, Maximen und Reflektionen XVI, 1005). Les mathématiciens sont comme les francais : quoique vous leur dites, ils le traduisent dans leur propre langue et le transforment en quelque chose de totalement différent. Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language, and forthwith it is something entirely different.

    Example of a harmonic map on the unique square valued in the set of measure preserving maps on the unit interval (approximated by permutations)
    A dissipative solution of the pressureless Euler-Poisson system on the real line. A neutralizing background is fixed on the unit interval. The initial density is uniform on the unit interval. The initial velocity at time t=0 and point x is v=4*sin(2*r*pi*(x-a))
