I’ve spent the day at an excellent @mathshistory workshop to remember the great David Singmaster.
I recorded my own fond memories of him in a blog last year robeastaway.com/blog/david-singmaster

Un peu d'histoire des maths sur Bluesky ! #HistSTM #Mathshistory
Mon article sur le nombre de Simon Stevin est sorti hier sur Images des maths, à lire ici.
J’espère qu’il intéressera notamment les profs de maths qui croisent parfois le flamand en 6e ou en 5e

Simon Stevin a parfois été considéré comme l’inventeur ou le principal précurseur de ce que nous appelons aujourd’hui les « chiffres après la virgule ». Mettant en regard son fameux texte La Disme avec deux autres de ses ouvrages, L’arithmétique et La pratique de l’arithmétique, nous voulons montrer que le projet de l’auteur lui est propre et n’a pas été complètement poursuivi par d’autres mathématiciens. À rebours d’une histoire trop linéaire de l’écriture décimale, nous cherchons plutôt à inscrire Stevin dans une situation particulière, à savoir celle d’un ingénieur des Pays-Bas de la fin du XVIe siècle qui a voulu faire une synthèse, grâce à l’algèbre, de mathématiques utiles à divers métiers.

There is a picture of George Green, the mathematician from Nottingham, doing the rounds on the internet. Alas, this is not the right George Green. Details:

Hey who invented #Trigonometry anyway?
Good question, come find out on this week's episode of #TheMathematiciansPodcast.
Wouldn't it be cool if he was the same guy who first identified a supernova, well if you insist
