I'm trying to come up with "math-y pilgrimage sites" to visit.
For example, the bridge in Dublin where Hamilton wrote the equations for the quaternions.
Or the estate where Newton wrote the Principia.
Or, to include a more literal religious angle: the Boole window in the Lincoln Cathedral.
What are some places that you think math and computing nerds should visit?
