I’ve started a monthly email newsletter collecting my writing, some of the things I’m reading, and a few other odds and ends. You can subscribe here.
This is what I wrote in February 2017:
- A math lesson from Hitler’s Germany My first article for Undark Magazine is about how math and science can be destroyed by politics. Bummer.
- Celebrating Black Mathematicians For Black History Month, I wrote about a new website highlighting black mathematicians. Visit it today and make Black History Month last longer!
- Colin Beveridge and Dave Gale graciously invited me to co-host their podcast Wrong, but Useful.
- An exhibit about Claude Shannon got me thinking about error-correcting codes and why I’m so bad at French.
- How to Celebrate Fatou’s Day Mathematician Pierre Fatou’s birthday coincides with Fat Tuesday this year! You can celebrate the rare mathematical holiday of Fatou’s Day by learning about a fractal I (and no one else) call Fatou’s pancake.
- How to Communicate in a Post-Truth World
- The Serenity of Kakeya The Kakeya needle problem reassures me in difficult times. If I persist, I can change my course.
