  1. @lekahe Thanks for the RT!
  2. Beware: Roto-Rooter says that tomorrow is the 'Cloggiest Day of the Year' http://bit.ly/6yG5gt
  3. New blog post: The geometry of meandering rivers http://bit.ly/4yV8Uy
  4. The Invisible Cities' song "Pythagorean Theorem" http://bit.ly/6nu07E
  5. Love @brizzly and I wish there was a mobile-optimized version for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
  6. OK, it turned out my Analysis class DID want to know about the history of calculus AND they wanted to avoid new work. Fun discussion.
  7. My Real Analysis class wants me to talk about the hist of calculus today. Are they interested or is this just a ploy to avoid new material?
  8. @timchartier That's crazy about plagiarizing a teaching statement. Good job catching it.
  9. @timchartier We found a bunch of math documents on the website, but suspect that one student uploaded them all.
  10. Cool! A geometric invariant for meandering rivers on Science Friday http://bit.ly/6YxJ2d
  11. @ITChE Actually, in full disclosure, my colleague noticed it.
  12. Image from the NY Times (http://bit.ly/6iF3mJ) totally looks like Pick's theorem (http://bit.ly/8poUA2)
  13. @JohnDCook Hah, yes! But in my defense, it was my favorite theorem before I wrote the book—that's why I wrote it.
  14. @timchartier Saw your post about paper mills. Have you had students uploading math solutions to CourseHero?
  15. The International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 now has a twitter feed @ICM2010. I'm looking forward to going.
  16. #favoritetheorem? Gotta be Euler's polyhedron formula: V-E+F=2
  17. @mathheadinc It was Zill and Wright's Calculus book (I've never heard of it before).
  18. In big letters on a promotional flyer for a new calc book: "Yes! Your students can pass calculus." Way to set high standards!
  19. New blog post: Legendre who? Not who we thought he was. http://bit.ly/4eBr19
  20. Leave it to the Germans to figure out how to be late on time - The Chronicle of Higher Education http://bit.ly/3iXV2G
