Yes! You need the Mandelbrot icon because you brought Jonathan Coulton's songs to my attention! I hope the equation's right; I swiped it from the wikipedia entry on Mandelbrot sets.
My latest fandom is very much about the science = sexy axiom, and it's really getting me back into maths. (I kinda lost my math-fu when I was royally stuffing up third year, and that's always bothered me, but now that I don't have any pressure to learn maths I can dabble in it as a hobby and hopefully pick up what I've forgotten and what I never quite learned!) But Charlie Eppes scribbling out advanced mathematical concepts on a blackboard and explaining them with some clever analogy? Incredibly hot. :D
I sometimes get envious of the people I went to uni with who managed to stay consistent with their studies and got through the degree properly. I've taken a big silly detour, but I rather like the way it's turned out as I've essentially managed to wrangle a way of studying as many sciences as possible at various times in my life!
