SMS-Math Meme (SMM)

with 2 comments

Hey, here’s an idea : The Text-Math Book! Trying to promote mathematics while at the same time acknowledging the fairly limited attention-span of the intended generation, let’s try to write a book on serious maths following just one rule

EVERY DEFINITION, THEOREM AND PROOF IN THE BOOK SHOULD NOT BE LONGER THAN A TEXT-MESSAGE (ie. 160 chars)

I don’t even own a cell phone1, so PLEASE educate me youngsters! SMS your contribution, either as a comment left here or hosted at your own blog (please link, so that I can learn…, a full text explanation of abbreviations used will be applauded.)
