galleta Caterpillar's Symbolic Algebra
Keep your temper wasn't telling her to be polite, It meant stay in math proportion at a steady height.
galleta Alice's worried recital that four times five is twelve and four times six is thirteen works perfectly in base eighteen and twenty-one
Under Lewis Carroll's mathematical progression formula, what base would 'four times seven' require to equal fourteen?
What mathematical base system makes Alice's statement 'four times five is twelve' completely correct?
galleta Without the dimension of Time, three characters rotate endlessly around the tea table
Which Irish mathematician's theories on quaternions and 'pure time' did Lewis Carroll mock with the Mad Hatter's tea party?
Why are the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse stuck forever having tea at six o'clock?
Carroll's math: Charles Dodgson was a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, for 26 years, writing books on geometry and voting theory.
galleta Rock the crying baby to discover the strange pig transformation Disney left out of the book.
What famous modern saying describes the topological equivalence that Lewis Carroll poked fun at?
What branch of mathematics, which studies shapes deforming without tearing, did Lewis Carroll mock via the baby-to-pig transformation?
A mathematical system that extends complex numbers to four dimensions, representing rotations in three-dimensional space. Lewis Carroll satirized this concept in 1865 through the endless rotation of his mad tea party.
What did the Caterpillar mean when he told Alice to 'keep her temper' in Victorian mathematical slang?
Which Victorian mathematician's work on symbolic algebra was Lewis Carroll likely satirizing during Alice's size-changing scenes?
