  1. 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

  2. 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

    Why do some people seem so natural on camera, while the rest of us feel awkward and inarticulate? This talk delves into the art of speaking to a camera and sharing your skills online...

  4. Shower thought: idly wondering about placing mutually attracting points on a 2D sphere in a stable configuration.

    Turns out this was solved by none else than John #Leech:

  5. @ColinTheMathmo @VisualStuart Sorry for the poor quality of introduction - I was on my phone (my laptop, I'm still recovering from a ransomware).
    Summarising:
    I met Colin at college, where he corrected many of my initial bad juggling habits, and introduced me to the (then, very new!) concept that became known as #Siteswap. I keep up with him for the #recreationalmaths , the #MathsJam events, and other reminders that I used to be, and still am, interested in that space.
    Stuart, on the other hand, is someone who seems to show up in random unconnected places - we were both Microsoft MVPs at various times, and with the #PortlandJuggling Festival being the most local, reliable annual juggling festival, I've run into him a few times there. For the first couple of years, there was definitely a vibe of "I've seen you before, but I can't remember where".
    There is likely to be a #SeattleJuggling event in the next year.
    Hopefully that's enough hashtags.
