Tell your Italian friends: I'm speaking at two events in Italy a week from now:

A public event in Rome Sep 27 related to the Italian edition of my book: www.associazionetokalon.com/matematica-p...

Then at the Global Math Summit in Cagliari on Oct 1: www.globalmathsummit.com
Excited about both!

Look what arrived in the mail! Five years ago, I got a call from @profnoahgian.bsky.social to discuss my experiences writing a book for the general public. Since then, he’s written TWO… this one out today, and he was just recognized with JPBM award for mathematics communication. Congrats, Noah!

Everyone should see “Counted Out”, a film by Vicki Abeles. This Pi Day (3/14), I'm moderating a panel after the screening at UCLA.

I left #JMM2025 early to take care of fire-related stuff. Sorry to miss some of you. Our house in Pasadena is okay but lots to deal with. I’ll leave you with a beautiful piece of math art (by Peter Kagey) that can be found at the exhibit halls.

Two justice oriented panels at #JMM2025 happening Wednesday (I’m moderating one of them):

The Mathematics of Mass Incarceration

How Can the Mathematical Community Mitigate Bias and Other EDI Issues in Al

Unfortunately they’re at the same time but right next to each other.

Happy New Year 6^4 + 3^6! Thanks to my nephew, we had a last minute opportunity to view Rose Parade floats from seats right over Colorado Blvd. N4yo gave and received a lot of waves 👋

Mathematics for Human Flourishing is now in Turkish!

And if you're looking for other languages that it's appeared in--Spanish, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Romanian, Italian, Japanese, Korean--here are links:

My wife’s cranberry pie (with a little help from N4yo). Unfortunately on the car ride over to a gathering, I turned a corner too fast and they sloshed out. But it still tasted just as good. 😆 Happy Thanksgiving!

New paper from my time in Sydney. And cool story about its origin: at SMRI, I bumped into another visitor, Salil, who had been a student in a course I taught way back in grad school! He's now an expert in an area of CS known as differential privacy. After attending one of my talks, Salil realized...

Returned from speaking at the NCCTM conference of North Carolina math teachers. They had these stickers and buttons. Look at their conference theme!
