Read an essay by Mendel on the mathematics of heredity. I especially like reading about his exhaustive efforts to control his experiments.

A fascinating essay on the topology of soap bubbles, and one by Mendeleev on his work, and one about him (this one did a good job of explaining his process of developing the periodic table and portraying him as a person.

Two essays today on the importance of minimization. The second one by Boys had a great problem on pg. 900 that I shall have to come back to.

Two essays on using geometry to predict the shape of crystals. Mathematics and physics informing each others experiments and theorems. On page 869 a very good chart showing the relative lengths of rays, compared to comprehendable, visible objects. I'll have to use it in my classroom.
