This website is supported by professional mathematicians based in Manhattan, Kansas (USA). As mathematics is the language and the tool that facilitates advances of other sciences, the bypassing us Interstate Route 70 serves for our connections with people in other places. Hence comes the name of this website.

• On Sol LeWitt: Is The List of Incomplete Open Cubes Complete?
  Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes is the major project by important conceptual artist of the XXth century Solomon LeWitt. In this paper we interpret the enumerative component of the project as embeddings of graphs. The conclusion is that the artist found the correct number of structures (that is 122), however his list contains a mistake in the presentation of a pair of incomplete cubes. (by M.Reb, N. Rozhkovskaya, final version is published in Nexus Network Journal, vol. 17, no. 3, 2015.)

• On Le Corbusier: Mathematical Commentary on Le Corbusier’s Modulor
  We present mathematical comments on Le Corbusier’s scale of proportions the Modulor. The analysis covers the structure of the scale, approximation routines, errors of the geometric deduction, evaluation of the postulates of harmonious design. (by N. Rozhkovskaya, submitted.)
