The Earth by descending powers of 2

Activities:

• Since 1983, IMaGe has hosted a Colloquium in Mathematical Geography which has met on a regular basis to discuss topics of mutual interest among local people.  Special sessions are held on request when visitors with an interest in a topic come to town and wish to meet.  Some of the books in the Monograph Series, and articles in Solstice, are the outcome of these meetings.
• Websites reach around the world.  Early in the history of IMaGe, we had comments from a sociologist in Tasmania noting how much she enjoyed easy access to online materials at IMaGe (as opposed to her more arduous procedures involving transoceanic shipments of printed materials).  A bit later, a note from a colleague in Latvia expressed appreciation for documents on the website well-suited to his university activities.  More recently, a colleague in Belgium noted that he too found the IMaGe website a convenient resource to which to refer those in search of clear graphics in support of often difficult-to-visualize principles.  A few recent comments appear in this link.
