Terry,
Just a reminder:
You say below: "it would be helpful if that kind of advanced Maths was
taught more in design schools.... "
I am still very much interested to learn how to introduce maths in Design
teaching curricula.
Years ago you told me it would take you more time to elaborate than what
what you can spare now. Please, whenever an opportunity arises, just drop
me a hint.
Warm regards,
Francois
