Some of the most important problems in network science, it turns out, are equivalent to problems in descriptive set theory, a field dedicated to sorting through infinity. Joseph Howlett reports: www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-bridge...
A New Bridge Links the Strange Math of Infinity to Computer Science | Quanta Magazine
Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms.

Estem vivint una nova sessió del #7deMates i l’ambient no pot ser millor! 🔢✨

Els nois i noies de 2n i 3r d’ESO ja estan immersos en reptes i activitats que els fan pensar, discutir i descobrir noves maneres de mirar les matemàtiques.

Aujourd’hui la newsletter Mon Petit France Inter suggère un épisode des P’tits bateaux. En défilant ce #podcast on peut retrouver des questions de #mathématiques posées par des enfants auxquelles le mathématicien Étienne Ghys répond.

Qui a inventé les formes géométriques, et pourquoi ?
C'est la question de Louane, 7 ans. Le mathématicien Étienne Ghys explique que les origines de la géométrie, dont le nom vient du grec ancien, remontent à l'Égypte antique.

BTW, do subscribe to my Substack, if you haven't yet done so! The latest post is about why mathematics survives the many errors in the literature—if it really was founded on pure logic, math would crumble to dust.

In a theory called quadratic gravity, “ghost” particles violate physicists’ intuition of quantum fields. This made the theory unpopular for decades. Now, it’s experiencing a resurgence.

Ens ha deixat en Claudi Alsina i Català, un gran referent en la divulgació de les matemàtiques.

Des del mmaca volem fer arribar el nostre condol i una molt forta abraçada a la seva dona, Carme, i la seva família.

Que les matemàtiques l'acompanyin sempre!

Una hipótesis reciente sugiere que una civilización avanzada podría vivir junto al agujero negro Sagitario A, en el centro de la Vía Láctea. Tal vez el Imperio Galáctico que imaginó Star Wars no esté tan lejos, solo escondido en el bosque oscuro.

Particles can have “spin,” “color” and “flavor.” To some, they might be formed from vibrating strings. Other researchers see them as holograms, just like space time.
What Is a Particle?
It has been thought of as many things: a pointlike object, an excitation of a field, a speck of pure math that has cut into reality. But never has physicists’ conception of a particle changed more…
