I say, that may be places like github are something like a beautiful forest for some creatures. And may be our civilization is needed to produce code, so that some creatures get aesthetic pleasure.

But for many years Fuchs had been, along with a number of other top mathematicians, trying to alleviate the effect of the discrimination against Jewish students by privately teaching young talented kids who were denied entry to MGU.
As part of those efforts, Fuchs was involved in what became known as “Jewish People’s University,” an unofficial evening school, where he and his colleagues gave courses of lectures to students. Some of those lectures had even been held at Kerosinka, although this was before my time.
The school had been organized by a courageous woman, Bella Muchnik Subbotovskaya, who was its heart and soul. Unfortunately, the KGB got on the case, alarmed that there were unauthorized gatherings of Jewish people. She was eventually called to the KGB and interrogated. Soon after that interview, she was killed by a truck under suspicious circumstances, which led many people to suspect that this was in fact a cold-blooded murder. Without her at the helm, the school collapsed.
from the book Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality by Edward Frenkel

I just had an idea, may be lame, - as #therapists deal with logical mistakes in the minds of people, deal with irrational thoughts, may be it would be good to include #logic and/or #discrete #math in their university courses. #psychology
#Jewish #Problems This is a special collection of problems that were given to select applicants during oral entrance #exams to the #math #department of #Moscow State #University.
