The Language of Nature

Richard Feynman once said, "To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ...If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in." An educated person has always been able to boast of his or her lack of knowledge of mathematics and still be considered educated. I'm not sure that is a good thing, now or especially in the future.

To that aim, there is a new feature in the NY Times, called From Fish to Infinity which hopefully will be an interesting, useful and educational resource. It looks promising as it starts off with a clip from the greatest TV show ever.
