  1. 6.28: Happy #TauDay ... and #ShamelessPlug Day! #MathyDay

    "Coexist" and "Tau & Pi" tees (and other mathy tees and downloadable posters) are available at my Inspired by Math shop on Etsy: inspiredbymath.etsy.com

  3. Happy #ShamelessPlug Day (cont'd)!

    While I'm at it ...

    I also have a downloadable poster of the Seven Single-Fold Operations of #Origami (popularly, but improperly, known as "Axioms").

    The attractive ---even friendly!--- design features clear descriptions unencumbered with unnecessary mathematical notation.

    Also, unlike with many compilations of the statements, this one lets you know up-front when a given operation can be performed by multiple folds ... or none at all! (Also-also, I'm introducing labels for the operations ---eg, "PP Qq" for "a point folds onto itself, and another point folds onto a line"--- because I can't keep the various numbering/lettering schemes straight in my head.)

  5. Happy #ShamelessPlug Day!

    #TauDay (6.28) preppers and #PiDay (3.14) laggards, my InspiredByMath shop on Etsy has t-shirt designs featuring both Tau and Pi.

    Remember: There's room enough on the numberline for both constants, so let's stop with the belligerence already!

  7. Happy #ShamelessPlug Day!

    Finding myself in need of #PiDay apparel ("ap-π-rel"?) for an event or two, I've added a couple of pi-related t-shirt designs to my Etsy shop: inspiredbymath.etsy.com

    • "Approximately Pi" demonstrates the near-equality of π and √2+√3 (that is, 3.1415… vs 1.4142…+1.7320…=3.1462…). Note that √2 and √3 appear courtesy of our old friends the 45°-45°-90° and 30°-60°-90° triangles.

    • "Powers-of-Pi Pinwheel" features a sequence of iterated involutes of a unit semicircle, each with length π^n/n! . It's the special case (t=π) of Y. S. Chaikovsky's delightful visualization of the power series for sin(t) and cos(t). (Fun Fact: Long ago, I adapted Chaikovsky's construction to tan(t) and sec(t), but cot(t) and csc(t) still remain elusive. trigonography.com/?p=881 )

    These join two pi-and-tau designs.

  9. Mathy 2026! #MathyDay

    (It's not an "i", it's an upside-down "!" for "inverse factorial"!)

    #ShamelessPlug: T-shirt (listing lots of mathy days throughout the year) available at my Etsy shop: inspiredbymath.etsy.com

    I'll take the opportunity to slip-in another #ShamelessPlug for my Mathy 2026 t-shirt, available at my Etsy shop: inspiredbymath.etsy.com

  13. Happy #ShamelessPlug Day!

    I've added "Mathy 2026" t-shirts to my Etsy shop, just in time for holiday shopping ... and shipping!

    inspiredbymath.etsy.com

    The front features the digits of 2026 incorporated into an equation (oh-so-cleverly using an upside-down exclamation point to indicate the inverse-factorial function). The back lists over forty mathy dates (in MDY format ... sorry DMY-ers!).

    Buy one of these, and you can ignore my #MathyDay posts for a full year.

    Thanks for your support! :)

  19. I’m Not on Bluesky, but the Blog Is

    I’m told that Ancient World Twitter was a thing and many of the same people have moved to Bluesky. I am an open web person not a corporate social media person, but if you prefer following this site on Bluesky to following it on RSS or by email or on Mastodon or by checking the URL every few days, there is a way. For a few months, it has been possible to follow bookandswordblog at https://bsky.app/profile/bookandswordblog.scholar.social.ap.brid.gy

    I am not there! I am unlikely to see any likes or replies. I think all corporate social media funded by other people’s money will follow the same path as Facebook and Reddit and birdsite. I wonder if in a thousand years people will talk about microblogging like the Romans talked about the time they invited the Goths across the Danube then started to shake them down and enslave them without calling in the army first (or maybe like the Athenians talked about how they realized that speaking persuasively was a skill that could be taught for money). But if you want to follow this site on Bluesky, that is possible.

    Just a note that, if you like my triggy math-o-lantern t-shirt, then you might want to order one in the next day or two for delivery by Halloween. (In my experience, delivery takes about a week, but holiday shipping could cause delays.)

    I've added a triggy Halloween t-shirt to my Etsy shop. The design features a jack-o-lantern (math-o-lantern?) with iconic 30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90° right triangle eyes (with sides in proportion 1:√3:2 and 1:1:√2, of course), an equilateral triangle nose (1:1:1), and a sinusoidal grin (or grimace).

    While I'm at it, I'll mention my design for fans of the Oxford/Harvard/serial comma. Pi-Tau COEXIST, Kangleroo, and other options also available.
