Amigos,

de volta a pergunta super interessante do aluno do Joao Marcos fiquei
sabendo so recentemente da estoria do 24th Hilbert problem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_24th_problem.

ainda nao li
Hilbert’s twenty-fourth problem
<http://www.maa.org/news/Thiele.pdf>Rüdiger Thiele, American
Mathematical Monthly, January 2003


mas tenho certeza que o que o Hilbert queria nao 'e simplesmete contar
simbolos.
Tb ainda nao tive tempo de ler o paper que o Doria mencionou a respeito,
mas contar simbolos, mesmo que seja o Goedel mesmo,
nao 'e uma medida boa de simplicidade/elegancia/perspecuidade de provas.
Vai um anuncio de uma conferencia relacionada ao tema.

Abracos
Valeria

Simplicity: Ideals of Practice in Mathematics & the Arts
The Graduate Center, City University of New York
April 3-5, 2013
http://www.s-i-m-p-l-i-c-i-t-y.org/

Lectures by and conversations among twenty-five mathematicians, artists,
art historians, philosophers, and architects together with screenings of
artist's films by Andy Goldsworthy (New York premiere), David Hammons,
Richard Serra, Andy Warhol, and William Wegman.

To find "criteria of simplicity" was the goal of David Hilbert's recently
discovered twenty-fourth problem on his renowned list of open problems
given at the 1900 International Congress of Mathematics in Paris. At the
same time, simplicity and economy of means are powerful impulses in the
creation of artworks.

Recognizing the aesthetic nature of Hilbert's question, this conference
aims to focus on criteria of simplicity in mathematics that are informed by
perspectives from art and architecture, the philosophy and history of
mathematics, and current mathematical practice.
