I’m getting tattoos and they’re all based on mathematical symbols and images. I have Pi on my back, Phi on my shoulder, and a drawing of a 3-“sided” Mobius strip on the left side of my chest.
Next I’m planning on doing the infinity symbol, but after that, I’m out of ideas.
Good choice, by the way, for a theme. I’d say you’ve got to work e and i in there somehow. I believe the magic equation that contains lots of important math symbols is e[size=-1][sup]i(pi)[/size=-1][/sup]+1=0. Or, if you can add the chemistry, Planck’s Constant, written as h, is important, too.
“a[sup]n[/sup] + b[sup]n[/sup] = c[sup]n[/sup] has no positive integer solutions for n > 2. I have a truly marvelous proof of this proposition which my body is too small to contain.”
Howzabout the 47th problem of Euclid? Not really an anomoly, and it’s been mentioned before, but how often do you get a chance to shout “Eureka” and sacrifice a hecatomb?
It’s got to be omega, the probability that a randomly selected program will halt if given randomly selected inputs. Not only is the value of omega unknown, but it is provably unknowable.
Something from topology would also be fairly hot. Unfortunatly, I’m a total topology noob, so maybe someone else could point you to something good there. I was trying to find something on a Calabi Yau space or a Hodge diamond, but couldn’t find anything worthwhile.
You mention phi but do you have the “Golden Ratio” and rectangle within a rectangle drawn out with the nautilus spiral inside traced out? I love this one myself.
