Wrong, But UsefulWrong, But Useful, Episode 74
It’s time for the @BigMathsJam Wrong, But Useful!
@stecks (Katie Steckles): Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem: “they said it’s a theorem, so I’ve got to believe it.” Mentions @jamesgrime.
@christianp (Christian Lawson-Perfect): ordering cards to generate a fractal sequence.
@peterrowlett (Peter Rowlett): transforming numbers problems into graphs. Mentions @alexcorner and @wtgowers. The puzzle is stated here and the discussion thread is here.
@dragon_dodo (Dominika Vasilkova): the Weierstrass function
@scroggs (Matthew Scroggs): @oddsandevens’s fractional origami.
Yuen Ng: Miscancelling fractions
@pecnut (Adam Townsend): @astrastefania’s redesign of the the musical stave.
