Abstract
Choosing seven mathematical theorems or ideas to take to a desert island is
more difficult than I first thought. In an earlier article (with Colin Fletcher) I
discussed other people’s choices. Now comes the time to bite the bullet and make
my own. I was reminded that the choices do not have to be ‘great’ or
‘state-of-the-art’ or involve any crystal ball gazing. They do not have to be
among the hundreds of fundamental theorems that abound in mathematics all they are
bound to be is personal.
