Hagy makes set theory sexy

April 13, 2007

Check out one of Guru's favourite blogs - Indexed by Jessica Hagy.

Hagy has a peculiar talent for reducing life's comlexities and dilemmas into Venn diagrams - a branch of mathematical set theory.

Anyone who remembers A-level maths will recall John Venn's strange intersecting circles.

Well Hagy has taken them to the next level and published a whole pack of index cards full...

Indexed

Fans of Hagy can already buy Indexed t-shirts, and it can only be a matter of time before she expands the operation into a Gary Larson Far Side-style enterprise.

Guru wishes his old maths teacher had been this interesting.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
