    I’ve got a new book coming out on October 8th, and here’s everything you need to know. It's called CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT. It's about calculus. It contains my heart, my soul, and almost 500 of my most earnestly bad drawings to date.

    As you keep zooming in, you think: it's a point! No, it's a line! No, it's a rectangle! No, it's a bunch of points! No... It's a subset of the plane invented by Simon Willerton, which shows that your estimate of the dimension can keep changing as you zoom in more and more.

    Follow-up: What is the LEAST elegant game that you still totally love? Like, the rules are baroque, and may be hard to learn, but the game is nevertheless great?

    What, in your opinion, is the world's most elegant game? Let's say elegant = "simple basic rules generating beautiful, complex outcomes." Candidates might includes go, soccer/football, and (my vote) peekaboo.

    Here’s a fun fact: Black H.S. students from Oakland are responsible for becoming a state holiday in California! They embarked on campaign in their freshman year in 1978. Cali’s first MLK Day was celebrated in 1982—before it became nat’l holiday in 1986! ✊🏾

    I love this fiasco, where you can run down the clock indefinitely by taking false start penalties over and over. A broken rule that can unravel the game. As in math, this was true the moment the rule book was written. We were just waiting for a proof to point it out.
