My own history with the expansion and consolidation of banks. The lesson I have learned: Chase is The Borg, resistance is futile, and you (or your bank) will be assimilated.

Whoa. Kind of puts it all in perspective.
Gaudino talk and Prof. Devadoss
So I’m here at the Gaudino talk, wishing all if you were here as well! Anyway, we must get Satyan Devadoss to come talk with us, not only because his area of study is topology (which we got a glimpse into with Julia.s paper and presentation today) but also because he, too, is obsessed with the visual display of information, and makes these beautiful drawings of strange four-dimensional objects folded through 5-dimensional space with flexible sides and other things that make my brain hurt. And he is fascinated with the idea of bringing art and mathematics together in such a way that both lead to greater understanding and discoveries in their own fields through the exploration of the other. As he says (and he and I have had this conversation previously as well), most of the time with artists and mathematicians come together, the mathematicians end of making bad art, and the artists end up presenting math that is 300 years old and thinking it’s new and cutting edge.

iPad apps and their specific uses
As we go along in class, I’m finding things that people are doing where I think, “Oh, we should have gone over this or that app, or other way to do things, or had some app that I didn’t think of before!” So here I’m accumulating those thoughts for future use.
For everyone in the class, if any of the things I mention ring true, and you would like us to take some class time to go over them, let me know in comments. If you’ve already figured out another way of accomplishing the same goal, please share.
Map of a Woman’s Heart
Circa 1833-42. “Exhibiting its internal communications and the facilities and dangers to travellers therein.” Purports to be written by A Lady, but that seems unlikely. I’d say it’s probably authored by a man who’s perhaps spent too much time in the Region of Platonic Affection or the Tenting-Ground of Uncertainty. Poor guy.
