Image description
The logo is made by superposing a Lewis Caroll's phrase on a circle, using fisheye effect to simulate a sphere. The phrase is a quote from "
Euclid and his Modern Rivals" by
Lewis Carroll (Preface, page X), which says:
"In one respect this book is an experiment, and may chance to prove a failure: I mean that I have not thought it necessary to maintain throughout the gravity of style which scientific writers usually affect, and which has somehow come to be regarded as an ‘inseparable accident’ of scientific teaching. I never could quite see the reasonableness of this immemorial law: subjects there are, no doubt, which are in their essence too serious to admit of any lightness of treatment – but I cannot recognise Geometry as one of them. Nevertheless it will, I trust, be found that I have permitted myself a glimpse of the comic side of things only at fitting seasons, when the tired reader might well crave a moment’s breathing-space, and not on any occasion where it could endanger the continuity of the line of argument."
Descripción de la imagen
El logo está hecho mediante la superposición de una frase de Lewis Caroll sobre un círculo, usando el efecto de ojo de pez para simular una esfera. La frase es una cita tomada de "Euclid and his Modern Rivals" (Euclides y sus rivales modernos) de
Lewis Carroll (Prefacio, pag. X), que dice:
"En un aspecto este libro es un experimento, e intentará probar un error: quiero decir que no consideré necesario mantener a lo largo del mismo la gravedad de estilo que los escritores científicos usualmente utilizan, y que de algún modo vino a ser visto como un “accidente inseparable” de la enseñanza científica. Nunca pude ver la racionalidad de esta ley memorial: hay temas que son, sin duda, en esencia demasiado serios para admitir cualquier tratamiento liviano –pero no puedo reconocer a la Geometría como uno de ellos. De todas maneras, confío, se descubrirá que me he permitido vislumbrar el lado cómico de las cosas solo en momentos apropiados, cuando el cansado lector puede muy bien desear un momento de respiro, y no en cualquier ocasión que pueda poner en peligro la continuidad de la línea argumental."
