Do social have a formula?
What I wanted from my international camp group was to re-create one of Euler’s formulas with the printed T-shirts they wear which is regarded as the most beautiful mathematical formula because of how it includes more than two representations of volume (pi for circle, i for imaginary numbers and e(in) for logarithmic functions) in one single equation. When the group tried to form the formula’s three steps in the right order, they realized each other’s ‘social volume’ actively and formed a living-poem by using their body to constitute space for the mathematical symbols through mutual persuasion.
