Iconoclasm – A Road to Modernization?

European Review, 2022

Abstract Caroline Series' [The modular surface and continued fractions, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2), 31, no. 1, (1985), 69–80] gives a clear framework linking, in a deceptively simple way, the dynamics of the geodesic flow on the modular surface with the dynamics of the regular continued fraction, through a well‐chosen symbolic coding.

The Egyptian antiquities that have come down to us have often been severely mutilated. While the damage may be the result of natural and accidental causes, in very many cases the images show clear signs of intentional destruction.
