    Clickbait versions: - All she did is add and subtract 1’s, and what happens next will blow your mind - 97.532671% of mathematicians in 1885 got this wrong - can YOU guess the answer?

    What’s that? You too had a long day at work failing to spot that the proof was just one line invoking universality of a universal object? Here’s the content you’re looking for.

    Hey all please note the mathematical correction in the comments for the Mertens video just posted! The expected counterexample is around 10^(10^23) (which, while gigantically gigantic, is not quite as gigantically gigantic as 10^(10^40))

    One of the reasons I like Mertens conjecture so much is that it was the 1st example I learned of a false conjecture. It was early in grad school, when most of the *other* info I was getting was more along the lines of "professors are always right". I know (much) better now : )

    Couldn’t find my rabbit for ages but it’s always the last place you look, amirite? (Douady’s rabbit hiding in Newton’s method applied to a cubic polynomial 🎉)

    In need of British Eng -> Amer Eng translation. “I tend to agree” means: (a) I’m 100% on board, brilliant colleague! (b) Yes (c) I agree reluctantly because I don’t like you much and so hate when you’re right. (d) you’re so wrong but don’t respect you enough to fight it.

    Hello lovely! Illustration of equidistibution theorems of Brolin and more generally Friere-Lopes-Mañe.

    I’ve started always using Newton’s method to motivate complex dynamics to new students, because it seems a universally frustrating student experience to be taught the method but not when/why it works.

    Selectively blaming all behavioral quirks on either country of birth or country of adoption is simply expat privilege. It’s how the world compensates us for tax season(s).

    I don’t know if it’s England or aging or what, but in four years I went straight from “slippers look weird and no one should wear them no matter what” to “I have a backup fuzzy pair in the office and sometimes I walk in them down the hall to the printer”.

    You guys look at this tiny projector I got so I can show my complex dynamics class movies, without waiting a year for the in-room projector system to boot up! 😍

    I’m enjoying watching accumulate fame & fortune, we were in the same high school class! Sadly I myself am so bad at general knowledge that for example I have a *negative* effect on a pub trivia team, often confidently talking them out of the right answer 🙄

    Twitter, my usual fitness things - yoga and running - are both out of the picture while letting my fractured toe heal. What other types of exercise do you like to do without a trip to the gym?
