How to stabilize a wobbly table, or theorem Bolzano.

How to stabilize a wobbly table, or the theorem of Bolzano. A mathematics performance to illustrate the theorem of Bolzano and its peculiar applications, Andrea Caranti, Trento. Thursday, September 11, at 18
BOLZANO - continues the events of Tabula Rasa, a special project of Manifesta 7, The Rest of Now, in collaboration with local and international artists. Thursday, September 11 at 18, the long table designed by Nikolaus Hirsch and Michel Müller hosting How to stabilize a wobbly table, or the theorem of Bolzano. This theorem, however, should not the name of the town, but to a famous mathematician of the nineteenth century ... Prague Mathematical analysis and contemporary art are a combination of at least unusual, but he could not miss the large container of Tabula Rasa, is proud to host a unique performance of mathematical analysis by Andrea Caranti, Professor Algebra at the Department of Mathematics of the 'University of Trento.
Caranti part with an original proof of the theorem of Bolzano, this time using the canonical blackboard university, but by writing the equations along the 11.50-meter board, and continues by illustrating the most curious applications of this theorem, a surefire way to solve a problem that affects most: the wobbly table. A practical demonstration of the application will help to better explain the dynamics.
