|   | The Solar eclipse sequence on our 
    splash page
    was captured by 
    Rajiv Gupta, 
    a faculty member of the UBC Mathematics Department.  Many of 
    Dr. Gupta's astronomical photos have been published in Astronomical
    publications.  The animation is achieved by using
    
    Herb Jellinek's  Animator applet. | 
|   | The images of the chinese characters on our 
    splash page
    were digitized from video shot by
    Djun Kim. 
    The characters appear on carvings outside of UBC's C.K. Choi
    building, housing the Institute of Asian Research at UBC.
    The character shown means ``wisdom''. | 
|   | This image is a proof of Pythagoras' theorem - a detail from
    a digitized image of a 9th Century Greek Manuscript of Euclid's
    Elements from the 
    Vatican Exhibit 
    at
    SunSITE @ UNC. | 
|   | Yet another proof of Pythagoras' theorem. This comes from the
    title pages of a 
    most remarkable book.
    The image was digitized by 
    Bill Casselman. |
