Numbers, Measures & Counting.
image
Fantasy image of various forms of counting, numbers and measures.
The abacus being the oldest form of counting mechanism here, is the focus were as the Bar code is the latest, and comes directly from it.
The landscape is actually grains of sand (the classic counting challenge) and the sky is a range of clouds (which as we all know is made of drops of water, try to count them!).

They Dined On 'E'...
This Is The Correspondent Side Of They Were 'Pi'..
Another very short book of causative wisdom. But this time, there is a twist.
Ion Express'. There is a charge of potential to experience here. A potential of what you might ask. Don't, less you're sitting on a mind punch that you can project as an implosion.
You must enable yourself to kiss your morality and emotions goodbye before attempting to read these pages. This book splits the atom of consciousness by how its constructed; just like it's sister book.
To read this book, You must decide to be you! Can you be this?

The Works of Archimedes
$22.99
Book
Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: Ἀρχιμήδης) (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics, statics and the explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors.
Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. He used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series, and gave a remarkably accurate approximation of Pi. He also defined the spiral bearing his name, formulas for the volumes of surfaces of revolution and an ingenious system for expressing very large numbers.
Archimedes died during the Siege of Syracuse when he was killed by a Roman soldier despite orders that he should not be harmed. Cicero describes visiting the tomb of Archimedes, which was surmounted by a sphere inscribed within a cylinder. Archimedes had proved that the sphere has two thirds of the volume and surface area of the cylinder (including the bases of the latter), and regarded this as the greatest of his mathematical achievements.
Unlike his inventions, the mathematical writings of Archimedes were little known in antiquity. Mathematicians from Alexandria read and quoted him, but the first comprehensive compilation was made only by Isidore of Miletus (c. 530 AD), while commentaries on the works of Archimedes written by Eutocius in the sixth century AD opened them to wider readership for the first time. The relatively few copies of Archimedes' written work that survived through the Middle Ages were an influential source of ideas for scientists during the Renaissance, while the discovery in 1906 of previously unknown works by Archimedes in the Archimedes Palimpsest has provided new insights into how he obtained mathematical results.

A chaotic cup, a Mandelbrot mug, for your Julia orange juice. Coffee would do, too. Wake up to a fractal: an object that, upon magnification, resembles itself...on all scales! A pretty mug for the mathematically minded.
MATHSTORM
$17.59
Mug
The mug for the mathematician in you (and there is one). A 3-dimensional tornado of geometric objects on one side, and a pretty Mandelbrot Set magnification on the other. A unique mug that will make coffee-time fun-time. Or just to impress your students, professors, colleagues, friends.... The three-dimensional graphics were created with the program POV-Ray, while the Mandelbrot image was generated on original software.

FLATLAND: A Romance of Many Dimensions
$8.56
Book
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 novella by Edwin A. Abbott, still popular among mathematics and computer science students, and considered useful reading for people studying topics such as the concept of other dimensions. As a piece of literature, Flatland is respected for its satire on the social hierarchy of Victorian society. Isaac Asimov, in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, wrote that it is "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions."
