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 January 2017:
- More graph isomorphism drama: A roundup of news related to that slippery graph isomorphism problem.
- Solidarity with scientists: How scientists are speaking out in the present political climate and how mathematicians can join them.
- A reflection on Teach Us to Outgrow our Madness by Kenzaburō Ōe. I read the book last February, but it was so disturbing that I couldn’t manage to write about it until almost a year later.
- How fluid dynamics can help you navigate crowds: As protests become the new normal, here’s what crowd researchers say about staying safe in large crowds.
- My blog turned 4 on January 7th. Happy birthday, Roots of Unity!
- I learned about Wilson’s theorem this month. And then it trolled me.
- I went for the art, but I accidentally found set theory instead when I wandered into an exhibit about frames.
- A few of my favorite spaces: the Mandelbrot set
