Today @hermathsstory.bsky.social is happy to feature Ilse Fischer's journey in #math. IIse works on enumerative #combinatorics. Not sure what that is?! Check out her story where Ilse provides fun everyday examples of where you might be using them!
Check out Ilse's profile over on Her Maths Story!
We think it's really worth a read 👏

I love stories: they connect ideas and people. From a Modultown! character with 6 arms, to a talk show on number 6.

Pretty much anything by Kim Stanley Robinson. I love how the books are made of literal lists, feature tons of straight-up exposition, and break so many other writing conventions in very satisfying ways.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

#FibonacciDay 11/23 is coming! Do you know a way to show or explain, like you would to a five-year-old, that this construction (starting from the Vesica Piscis twin circles) is indeed Golden, and so it helps us make Very Good Pentagons? #iTeachMath #MathSky

I wanted to make aperiodic pixel art for a long while. I am so happy to close this project after years of rumination. Now, any image can be asymmetrically converted to monotiles.

The new surface-colouring option in @desmos.com 3D allows a cute way of visualizing conic sections.

(The option to have translucent surfaces doesn't save with the graph itself, so needs to be re-toggled on. It's important for seeing the full curves)

Thank you! How awesome, to open BlueSky in the morning and see Sasha and Allison's new children's book at the top of my feed. Illustrations by the graphic artist, author, and tabletop game creator @markgonyea.bsky.social really bring the story to life. #iTeachMath #MathSky #KidLit #MgLit
I'd endorse anything from Sasha, but I got to beta read Modultown and can strongly recommend her and Allison's new book. Fun, great math, charming illustrations. Give it a look and join me in backing! #mathstory @maria-naturalmath.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...
