Quantum: The Magazine of Math and Science
The articles are listed in alphabetical order by title. You can use your web browser’s “Find” function to search by author, title, description, department, or date (see the format used below).
Note: In addition to the articles listed below, each issue of Quantum contained math and physics problems, “brainteasers,” a solution section, a department called Gallery Q that tied works of art to topics in the magazine, a chess column (in the early years), a science crossword puzzle (from November/December 1992 on), and a bulletin board.

Vladimir Radunsky
Vladimir Radunsky grew up in Moscow, Russia where he studied art and architecture. In 1982 he immigrated to New York), and started designing books for such publishers as Abbeville Press, Princeton Architectural Press, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Marlboro Gallery, etc.
At the same time, Radunsky became interested in children’s books and from then on until now has dedicated himself almost exclusively to them. He is a well-known author and illustrator of more than 30 books for children.
For that reason the most fitting CV would be a complete list of Radunsky’s published children’s books.

“Table Manners”
in collaborati June 26, 2015InAstrology, Relationship, Self GrowthByIngrid Hoffman Intuition, psychic powers, mediumship and spiritual séances are all the province of astrological Neptune. Long before Rene Descartes announced, cogito, ergo sum. I think therefore I am, the irrational mind, the realm of intuition and symbolic thought, was an incendiary to the collective projections of those shadowy parts of our humanness that slumber within us all. Can we hear the whisper of our Higher Self in the babble and bustle of over-scheduled lives? Do we have the time and inclination to spin straw into gold, or venture outside without iPhones or Sat Navs in search of our Swans? Author Anne Lamott suggests, “You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind. The rational mind doesn’t nourish you. You assume that it gives you the truth, because the rational mind is the golden calf that this culture worships, but this is not true. Rationality squeezes out much that is rich and juicy and fascinating. Few of us arrive at a place of stillness where we can mine our intuitive knowing through sound bites and status updates.” Founder of bio cognitive science and author of The Mind Body Code,Mario Martinez says“We suffer from Desartesian Anxiety. The split between mind and body. We have to develop transcendental legs.” Mystics and Martyrs, the thousands of intractable virgins who met gruesome deaths today might be labelled “anti-social or borderline, paranoid, or narcissistic” by psychologists who name parts that cannot be named and try to capture souls in butterfly nets made of clinical cases. For some, intuitive powers are ridiculed, dismissed, or trivialized by those who ad Albert Einstein Tag
Heartbeats
In many shamanic traditions as well as in ancient Greece, madness was thought to be a possession by a deity. What a shaman would call a vision quest or an ecstatic trance might today be termed a psychotic episode.
