Andrew Wiles Building

Andrew Wiles Building
A photo taken earlier this year. The main building is the Andrew Wiles Building in Oxford. It is the Oxford University Mathematical Institute. It opened in 2013.

The building in the background is a small part of the Radcliffe Observatory. Construction started in 1772 and it opened in 1794.

For 'Sight and Sound' I was looking for a mathematics link :-) I found one list that included Bob Dylan's "Love Minus Zero/No Limit". The explanation being it is "a love song that seamlessly blends in the relationship between mathematics and romance. According to Bob Dylan, the song title is a fraction and the formula for a good relationship". .......Of course I knew this :-)))

I was going to use an original version but the only one I could find on YouTube didn't really sound like Bob to me!!

I am, therefore, using Rick Nelson's version :-)

Wow, this is a real beauty, Roger. And this song is good. I haven't heard much of Rick Nelson so this was a nice surprise. I've never heard Bob Dylan do it before so I looked it up and found this live version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w1mCevu3sU

I don't know if you can see it but I thought it was good too. :)

Thank you so very much, Karen :-) And, thank you for the link.....it works perfectly. Such a relaxed performance that makes me carefully listen to the words. Such a beautifully composed song from Bob. Before I read the description against the video I did wonder how come Donovan was in the video. Then, of course, I read that it was a London Hotel Room Recording in 1965 :-)
