Mathematician, mathematics educator and mathematics enthusiast. He/him.
I might have a $150 budget to buy games for a math student lounge. (Like chess board various puzzles). Undergrad students. Maybe 15 use it, mix of 1st-4th year students.

For those who have recent experience with this:
What works really well for this type of thing?

A mathematician who transforms an extremely hard problem into several other problems that are also extremely hard, but each one slightly easier possibly, has had a great day.

Pleased with this result, although technical :) kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Bought a bunch of high quality PPC and PPE (protection) in case these items are about to become more difficult to obtain (or at least much more expensive) in the near future….

If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Hello maths/physics community at bluesky 👋🏻

My name is Viktor, and having been frustrated by the countless hours I spent studying and deciphering math from long, linear, exhausting paragraphs of text, I am now pioneering spatial writing to make studying and reading much friendlier for our brains.

“Happy New Year” is an annual exercise in modular arithmetic.

Further proof that everybody LOVES Mathematics.

I am excited to announce the opening of the Mathematical Art Digital Exhibition at Queens College. The exhibition features the work of 27 mathematical artists representing 10+ countries. View the exhibition at math.qc.cuny.edu/made-gallery and see the artwork, artist bios, and links to learn more.

Testing alt text to make sure I can do it. I saw this on another social media site. If it looks like alt text works for me, I’ll post the answer in 2 replies. A picture in each reply. The other site does not have an alt text option that I know about.

Bluesky told me that its algorithm would decide what I like based on the first 10 things I “like” so now I’m afraid to click that like button for any reason. Too much pressure.

Left twitter more than a year ago, stayed off social media and tried threads for a bit. Created this account and it looks like some of the #math #mathematics #maths crowd has moved. here. Cheers,

Paper on magic labeling appears today, open access. The referee said it's good for those who would like to see how such constructions are made, as we describe our process. It's work with Jonathan Calzadillas, an undergraduate student. Proud of him&it #mathematics
