Zenos Merch
Description: "An infinite number of steps can add up to a finite distance. Zeno's 2,500-year-old puzzle meets the convergent geometric series, drawn as a square split again and again and as a track of shrinking jumps. Zeno of Elea's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, solved with a halving square and the series 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 1. Each leap gets shorter, yet the race still ends. Infinity, made visual. For math teachers, physics and philosophy students, calculus lovers and anyone fascinated by infinity. A clever gift for nerdy friends, graduates and lifelong learners.
Description: Italian writer Italo Svevo had a profound influence on modern literature. He was an innovator both in the language and the novel's structure. His most important work, Zeno's Conscience, was ignored in Italy and was recognized only after his death because James Joyce had the book translated to French and French critics praised its originality.
