  1. PhET is in #Atlanta for #NCTM2025!! 
    Stop by booth #1307, meet Cathy and Amanda - some of our math folks - and snag some awesome stickers. Join us on Friday for our session on Data Science lessons with PhET. #data #math #learning #mathisfun

  2. The #mathisfun web site has amazing explanations for complex #mathematical concepts. I've struggled in the past to find examples of why Taylor expansions of functions work with multiple derivatives or how complex exponentials can facilitate calculations with complex numbers. Many thanks to the people involved.

  3. If it helps the poll get traction with the nerds who follow me, I’ll create some graphs from this data and post an analysis of the data!

  4. 🎶🤹‍♂️ When math professors get tired of equations, they play with ribbons instead! Dave Richeson takes us on a thrilling 😴 journey of maypole dances and mathematical tangles, because nothing screams 'party' like a deep dive into braid groups! 🎉 #MathIsFun?

  5. "🤓 Let's dive into the thrilling world of the Peano Axioms—you know, those edge-of-your-seat, pulse-pounding rules that define 1, 2, and 3 like it's rocket science 🚀. Because who needs action movies when you can have 'Axiomatic Studies' instead? 📚💤"

  6. Today's Sunday fractal. One vector field equation with differing colors depending on each pixel's initial coordinates.

  7. More fun with strange attractors. Finally got GPU rendering going on these, makes things so much faster!

  8. Wow. Once I sat down for a few minutes with a pen and a back of a napkin (well, pharmacy bag) it quickly became evident that the math needed for these intersecting planes is trivial and a single acos calc. Yay.

  9. CW: Quick multiplication hack

    If you are multiplying two even or odd numbers, you can square their average and subtract the square of their difference from the mean to get the product.

    For an easy example, 18 x 22. The square of 20 is 400. Subtract 4 (2 x 2) to get 396. Simple.

    Slightly harder 21 x 13. Square of 17 is 289. Subtract 16 (4 x 4) for 273. Not simple but not hard.

    31 x 19. Square of 25 is 625. Minus 36 (6 x 6) equals 589. Brilliant!
