“There are many people [mathematicians] whose primary enjoyment of math comes through problem solving in one of its incarnations,” [Jacob Tsimerman] wrote. “If that disappears, that is not a trivial issue and many of them might not want to do it anymore.”

This is a bit of a long-shot, so I'd appreciate any help.
A few years ago perhaps -- someone in my network either posted directly, or boosted a post which had a book recommendation for the abacus.
It was an older book -- but I cannot remember the title or the author.
I know it's not much to go on, sorry.
I've tried searching the fediverse but I cannot find it, which means it might have been one of those posts which is deleted after a set time.
I want to try and track this down if I can.
If anyone is reading this and can possibly help, please get in touch.
TIA!

Check out my latest article: A Basic Privacy Assessment on AI ToolingDifferent AI ecosystems and tools are beneficial for different types of tasks. In addition to task type, relevancy formulas, hallucination rates, and training data, privacy should be a part of the equation.

Oh great, another blog post about #microcode in a 40-year-old chip 🥱. Because who wouldn't want to dive into the riveting world of register exchanges from 1980? 🤓 Next up: a thrilling exposé on the history of the abacus—brace yourselves! 🧮✨

🎉 Bravo, UK! You've saved "millions" by swapping out complex #Palantir tech for what we can only assume is an #abacus and some sticky notes. 📉 Because nothing says "efficient refugee management" like the tech equivalent of a toddler's toy box! 🙃

I want this giant #soroban #abacus on a carrying strap! Such delightful #chonk!

Deal with the "sound quality issues" because a 7yo doing math this fast is amazing

I am:
* Learning #soroban #abacus and trying to improve my mental #math in other ways as well.
* #SkimReading "C By Example" to refresh my oxidized neural pathways on the subject.
* Keeping "Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain" in the stack to read and work through.
* Attempting semi-immersive language learning by watching movies in #French
* Etc etc etc

Solo dos meses después ya he gastado los 36€ adelantados a #Abacus con lo que tener gratis los envíos de libros me ha salido gratis. #abacuscooperativa es una buena alternativa a Amazon de la economía social para libros/comics, juegos de mesa o papelería. Recomiendo ojearlo. El buscador que tiene no es muy bueno pero en caso de duda siempre puedes buscar con isbn si estas buscando libros. Estaría guay que también vendieran ebooks.

La Coop. #Abacus es una buena alternativa a Amazon, en libros/comics,juegos d mesa,papelería,...,y con precios para socios normalmente veces menores q los otros. Totalmente recomendable.
https://www.abacus.coop/es/homeEscribo porque ha sacado una campaña llamada Més Abacus (CAT: https://mes.abacus.coop/) en la cual se puede suscribir uno adelantando 36€ al año (lo devuelven en tarjetas regalo) y a cambio hay varias ventajas como gastos de envío gratis sin llegar al mínimo

At my daughter's school, 6th grader's do an "exihibition" in late January. Each child makes a booth in the school gymnasium where they present the results of their year-long research project, in #Japanese and English. The child chooses the topic. Last week I attended the exhibition, and one girl did hers on the #abacus. She herself has been doing abacus since she was small and is quite the expert. Her enthusiasm was infectious. Apparently doing the abacus is great for the brain! #parenting
