Equation Trees, Acrylic on canvas 16”x20”

Seventeen equations that changed the world are embedded in the trees along with symbols of knowledge and learning.

"Seventeen Equations That Changed the World​"  flashe and acrylic on canvas, 30"x40", 2015, includes symbols from different cultures for wisdom, learning and knowledge.  The math and science equations embedded at the roots of the trees include, among others, Newton's law of gravitation, Euler's formula for polyhedra, the Navier-Stokes equation, and Einstein's theory of relativity.  Mathematician Ian Stewart included these particular 17 equations in his book In Pursuit of the Unknown. The trees represent the arbor philosophica -- to plant the philosopher's tree is to stimulate the creative imagination. ​ Chosen by the Art in Embassies program for exhibition at US Embassy in Amman, Jordan 2021-2023
