  1. Hey, it's my birthday today. But please don't feel embarrassed that you didn't get me anything, all I want for my birthday is for you to enjoy today's new episode of #themathematicianspod. This time, Pingala, and a 10 minute beat poem... Please forgive me. #mathsky #mathshistory #poetry

    Episode 56 - Pingala - Beats u...

  2. Why, it's another episode of #themathematicianspod this time an interview episode with the fabulous @[email protected], author of #themathrmaticianslibrary. Listen in to hear his thoughts on writing a book about books about maths. As well as more history and philosophy. #talkingmaths #mathsky

    Episode 55 - Injective - Thoma...

  3. I've just finished watching "Death by lightning" on Netflix. They appear to have missed the most interesting aspect of the #POTUS 's life, that President Garfield developed his own distinct proof of #Pythag, one without using any squares. Otherwise a good watch. #mathsky #somepresidentswereclever

  4. Who can tell me what this #wildcurve is? A stable fluid boundary on an angled chopping board with a laminar water jet. #mathsky #mathsinthewild

  5. My first attempt at a #DiscreteDynamicalSystem Take a number, n If (n-1) is prime then map n -> n^2 If (n-1) is composite then map n-> Aliquot sum of (n-1) Numbers 1-19 all end in a cycle. I am not sure about 20. eg. 6 -> 36 -> 13 -> 16 -> 9 -> 7 -> 6. #mathsky #recreationalmaths #mathsart

  6. Just had a fun conversation about Primitive Pythagorean Triples with Carol Jacoby from: theartofmathematicspodcast.com Can you find a coordinate M:(a,b) such that |OM|=|MA|=k, with O:(0,0) & A:(20,20) and k an integer? You should be able to listen in at the end of March #talkingmaths #mathsky

  7. Happy half term holidays! I am celebrating by releasing another episode of #TheMathematicianspod. Find out about Systems A & B today with a double bill of 'Babylonian' Mathematicians. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-vjqv3... #talkingmaths #mathsky #mathspodcast

    Episode 53 - Nabu-rimanni & Ki...

  8. New oeis.org/A393283 just dropped. Take a triangular array starting (0),(1,0) Now draw a ray from the tip down to the next term. Each new term is the sum of terms on or adjacent to this ray. 0 1,0 1,1,0 2,3,2,0 Try this in mod 2 for a #cellularautomata. #mathsky #sequences #recreationalmaths

  9. New #mathspodcast episode just dropped of the #themathematicianspod, if you want to listen to #Baudhayana again, but with slightly updated mathematics, you will love the episode on #Apastamba A tower is built with one brick on top of another. Come meet India's second brick! #talkingmaths #mathsky

    Episode 52 - Apastamba - What ...

  10. New sequence just dropped to the #oeis Start with the numbers [2,2,...] Then each new number is the product of the last two, written in mod n. The sequence stops when there is a repeating pair of consecutive numbers. a(n) is the length of the above sequence. oeis.org/A389543 #mathsky

    A389543 - OEIS

  11. New game just dropped: #Vector-bet Can you create a letter of the alphabet using a polynomial with vector coefficients? Have a play for yourself with my #GeoGebra widget: www.geogebra.org/m/hv99xfkj Featuring drag and drop vector tools and a squiggly pen! #sillymaths #mathsky

    Vector-bet

  12. Follow up from my #alevelmaths student: If you use 2D vectors for a high order polynomial, the resulting plot is, once again, 2D - however it is highly disorganised: Here we see a Quintic Equation. #mathsky

  13. A great observation from my #Alevelmaths student: If you create a polynomial with vector coefficients $r=a+bt+ct^2+dt^3...$ you can get higher dimensional equivalents of the polynomial. Here is a 3D quartic equation. #mathsky

  14. New sequence just dropped to the #OEIS Have you ever wondered how many sides are needed on a k-gon such that an inscribed and circumscribed k-gon calculates the area of a unit circle with accuracy bounds up to n digits? I know I have! If you have a 12-gon will tell you π=3 oeis.org/A391013 #mathsky

    A391013 - OEIS

  15. My new #OEIS sequence just dropped. Least k > a(n-1) such that k + the sum of all previous terms = 0 (mod (k-2)), with a(1)=1 and a(2)=2. 1,2,3,4,... (1+2+3+4+n) Is a multiple of (n-2). ...5,... What comes next? oeis.org/A390783 #mathsky

  16. I am delighted to share with you my first episode of the new year, and my first for the history of maths in #India. Come and listen to some instructions with rope with #Baudhayana. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-tueww... #mathstalk #mathsky

    Episode 51 - Baudhayana - Back...

  17. Write down the Fibonacci numbers, next find the remainder of each one when you divide it by your favourite number. Then notice how long it takes for a repeating cycle. Rinse and repeat. #mathsky #pisano

  18. Which is better, artistically, to see the layers of fractal pentomino tiles, or just a sea of mini pentominoes? #pentomino #mathart #mathsky #tessellation

  19. My daughter and I were outraged this morning watching #ShauntheSheep The goat unwinds the post and eats the grass in an unmistakable Archimedean spiral. What do you think should have happened ? #mathsky #kidmaths

  23. Episode 5 of #Un-NaturalNumbers the maths chat show just dropped. In what is arguably our largest number so far: 5. Join me, @hopeiona.bsky.social and Jocelyn to discuss our favourite facts about the number 5. #mathschat #mathsky #msthstalk youtu.be/i-oAWhc5SH0

    Un-Natural Numbers: Episode 5 ...

  24. If I say: Any square (4*4 or 8*8) may be rotated by 90 degrees, if the pieces are fully enclosed in the square. Is it possible to sort all the greens to the left and reds to the right? #playmaths #mathschat #mathsky

  25. "Müssen wir da was ausrechnen?" fragen die Kindergeburtstagsgäste auf dem Weg ins MAINS.... um dann fast 2h später nicht nach Hause zu wollen.
