"beyond ordinary human understanding" is evident every time I hear/read a journalist - "this library has countless books!"

Is that waltz music in the upper left? I would like to play it(waltz or not). If possible could you please post a close-up of it?
New episode: Mari Wolf at JPL. A 1950s sci-fi author who worked in Computing at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with connections to LA fandom and the Pacific Rocket Society. Her writing was a career, and this story treats it that way. mathsciencehistory.libsyn.com/mari-wolf-a-...

ugh.
Book recommendation: Street-Fighting Mathematics by Sanjoy Mahajan
I read this early in my PhD, and it's been with me ever since. Chapter 1 grants a superpower that I cannot imagine living without.

Looking forward to watching. In bar now.

"Just glue some gears on it and call it Steampunk" comes to mind except this is even more stupid.
2025? - No thanks, my time machine is not going back there.

I have been having these sorts of conversations since the Yom Kippur War of 1973 which coincided with the tail end of the Jesus Freak movement in the US. Some of my middle school went absolutely bonkers when they didn't get "raptured" or meet Jesus in person.
Totally made sense bc - bread!
Maybe you will end up in space someday but via a surprisingly chill ascent.

Bread, yum!
Thanks for the reminder!
I knew this guy in high school. I'm not surprised he became a musician (he was really talented) but being on the soccer team with him did not prepare me for this surprise. He's running 100 miles for veterans. Watch if you please, donate if you like:

The number of non-equivalent distinguishing coloring partitions of the path on n vertices (n>=1) with exactly k parts (k>=1). Regular triangle read by rows: the rows are indexed by n, the number of vertices of the path, and the columns are indexed by k, the number of parts.
Looks a lot like split peas.
Photo of a drawing of mathematical art (descriptive geometry) next to a canvas showing the same drawing in an earlier stage (construction nearly done, no coloring yet). Both show how circles on a sphere containing the North Pole are projected onto lines. By elkement 2024/2026.
I am re-creating my 2024 drawing "Circles to Lines" on gesssoed and sanded canvas!
The construction is nearly done: Six circles on the surface of a sphere, containing the North Pole --> projected onto lines via stereographic projection.

Have you heard about the mathematician who published her first paper in Nature at the age of 10?
Thanks! Inspiring story for many of us in math education advocating for kids getting the opportunity to experience rigorous pure math topics.
Do you have your own trees? I am guessing from my previous experience with friends you need around 5 trees for that much sap to yield 50 oz.
