Fourier Analysis
Fourier analysis, named after Joseph Fourier (1768 - 1830), is a branch of mathematics of huge importance in modern technology.
A little-known fact is that Fourier once had a short-term position at a Cambridge college, where he was very highly regarded. When he came to leave the college all the other dons gathered and sang âFourierâs a jolly good fellow!â

The Little Rose, A Poem
The rose whispered to me
Can you not see that I am dying?
No I replied
All roses live forever
Little rose you can carry us both
And to wherever we want
Because love is a miraculous vehicle.
The last roses
petals still hang
but
soon itâsÂ
winter

I missed his presence there today.
I hope he hasnât gone away.

From Our Opera Correspondent
In an unfortunate episode earlier this evening, the first performance of Herr Wagnerâs opera, The Flying Dutchman, about a spectral sea vessel, was abandoned at the last minute.
The cause was the stage instructions, which although spoken with the utmost clarity by Herr Wagner as âGhost shipâ, must have been misheard for some reason.
Too much of a good thing?
