"A photographic exploration of mathematicians' chalkboards

""A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns,"" wrote the British mathematician G. H. Hardy. In Do Not Erase, photographer Jessica Wynne presents remarkable examples of this idea through images of mathematicians' chalkboards. While other fields have replaced chalkboards"

Reviews for Do Not Erase: Mathematicians and Their Chalkboards

Do Not Erase . . . reveals the scribbles, workings and eureka moments of minds bursting with equations and theories, a paean to mental graft and the blackboards that display it. You can almost feel the tickle of dust in the nose, the thump of chalk on the board, the swish of a cuff brushing away a mistake. ---Nicola Davis, The Observer American photographer Jessica Wynne's Do Not Erase captures the visual workings of mathematicians in producing formulas and illustrating their thoughts. ---Cheyenne Darko, The Financial Times Snapshot American photographer Jessica Wynne's Do Not Erase captures the visual workings of mathematicians in producing formulas and illustrating their thoughts ---Cheyenne Darko, The Financial Times Snapshot
