A Trick Fitch for Two Published in Math Horizons (Vol. 32, No. 4, 2025)

Also, Tom Edgar has a nice article about the Fitch Cheney card trick. @cardcolm.bsky.social improved it from a five-card trick to a four-card trick and to a three-card trick. Tom gets it down to two cards and even one(ish)! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Black and white photograph of Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician, wearing glasses and a blazer. To the left of the image, a dark blue panel with geometric patterns features white and light blue text reading: "MAA | Black History Month. Katherine Johnson (1918–2020). A NASA mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics were critical to the success of the first U.S. space flights."

Join the MAA in celebrating Katherine Johnson, whose contributions advanced NASA’s space exploration mission. Her legacy has inspired generations to enter the STEM field. 🚀 #blackhistorymonth

My grading philosophy? Do No Harm. And the best way to minimize the harms of grading is to implement alternative grading models that release the pressure valve and honor the fact that learning is a deeply complex process that unfolds at different rates for different students. #UngradingChat

This is a good time to (re)read Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark. And here she’s sharing free copies for a week.
