You probably heard that an interval map with a periodic point of period 3 has periodic points of all periods: what’s the analogue for complex quadratic polynomials?

Sharkovsky's Ordering in the Mandelbrot Set
Sharkovsky's ordering describes orbit forcing of interval maps, and generalizations of Sharkovsky's ordering exist for maps of trees. In this paper I will describe Sharkovsky's ordering and analogous ...

![5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools? Methodology is hard and there are so many ways to get incorrect results. What is the magic ingredient that makes for good science? (3) TEACHER: To figure it out, I ran a regression with all the factors people say are important: [embedded list in sub-panel, cut off at end] Outcome variable: correct scientific results. Predictors: collaboration; skepticism of others’ claims; questioning your own beliefs; trying to falsify hypotheses; checking citations; statistical rigor; blinded analysis; financial disclosure; open data (4) TEACHER: The regression says two ingredients are the most crucial: 1) genuine curiosity about the answer to a question, and 2) ammonium hydroxide. (5) STUDENT: Wait, why did *ammonia* score so high? How did it even get on the list?

On the Rigidity of the Roots of Power Series with Constrained Coefficients
Here we consider the set $Σ_S$ of roots of power series whose coefficients lie in a given set $S$ and how such sets of roots vary as the set $S$ varies. We give an estimate of the depth that complex r...

AMS Announces $1M in Backstop Grants for Mathematical Community. Recent federal funding cuts stand to significantly impact the mathematical sciences. AMS leadership recognizes these impacts, and to help mitigate these challenges, is launching the AMS Backstop Grant program.

Simple yet very useful fact that I overlooked until yesterday:
for any subgroup P<G
G\(G/P x G/P) = P\G/P
for any subgroup P<G
G\(G/P x G/P) = P\G/P
