MathVentures -- the Pleasures of Math

This blog is dedicated to promoting math knowledge and understanding. We present situations, anecdotes, jokes, photos, videos and anything else that will make you smile, laugh, think and enjoy things mathematical. Someone famous in mathematical circles (who we shall not name) said that you, an ordinary non-mathematician person, cannot enjoy math the way a non-musician can and does enjoy music. We are here to prove him wrong.
