“Let’s push math to its limits — the smallest number and the largest. No, no, not actual numbers, but as in number theory. Could pi be both the largest and smallest?”

Dear Dr. Edward Burger:

Among mathematicians, you and Steven Strogatz (Cornell) are at the top of my list of pi (π) experts. I wonder who is at the top of your list of pi (π) experts?  

Thanks.

Warm regards,

Bruce

Happy 4th of July! https://81018.com/penultimate-revolution/

Dear Dr. Edward Burger:

I was doctoring my reference page for you — https://81018.com/burger/ — and thought holiday greetings were in order. Your emphasis on pi not only stuck with me, it pushed me: https://81018.com/csh/ Is it the first formula to connect the finite-and-infinite? Does it to give us the first infinitesimal sphere to define space-time? https://81018.com/most-simple/ Earlier work: https://81018.com/sphere/

Best wishes to you always,

Bruce

Dear Dr. Edward Burger:

You are quite remarkable so I now have a reference page to try to keep up with you: https://81018.com/burger/ You article about pi caught me and has never me let go!

If you would like any changes on that reference page to you, please ask. I’ll gladly change you wish. Thanks.

Warm regards,

Bruce

Dear Dr. Edward B. Burger,

Congratulations on a life well-lived, excelling with everything you touch. I hope your move to Austin is good. We once lived in Round Rock; it was all a bit sleepy for us.

May I engage your math mind? You’ve said pi is one of the most important numbers…” Do you think perhaps it is the number that guides our earliest universe: http://81018.com/challenge/ My working document to follow it up is: http://81018.com/instance/ Possible? Thank you.

Warmly,

Bruce
