Mathematics : Mathematics News

The northern goshawk is one of nature’s diehard thrill-seekers. The formidable raptor preys on birds and small mammals, speeding through tree canopies and underbrush to catch its quarry. With reflexes that rival a fighter pilot’s, the goshawk zips through a forest at high speeds, constantly adju... (original story)

Mathematics : Mathematics Blogs

At this point, I’m sure everyone has seen at least one of the YouTube videos of Hitler ranting (actually actor Bruno Ganz from the movie Downfall) with fake subtitles. Here’s one showing Hitler’s reaction to discovering that in topology a set can be both closed and open. I think ... (original story)

Where Have All the Numerals Gone?

Posted from About Mathematics 6 days ago
Mathematics : Mathematics Information

Roman Numerals were part of the curriculum when I was in school. However, after looking through a variety of curricula, the concept of Roman numerals is nowhere to be found. No surprise, after all, I'm sure the talking math heads made the right decision when they removed Roman numerals fr... (original story)

Mathematics : Mathematics Blogs

Andrew Gelman quotes from the best possible rejection letter from a journal (sent to Charles Babbage): It is no inconsiderable degree of reluctance that I decline the offer of any Paper from you. I think, however, you will upon reconsideration of the subject be of the opinion that I have no other a... (original story)

Back, From Outer Space!

Posted from Ars Mathematica 16 days ago
Mathematics : Mathematics Blogs

And you just walked in to find me here with that sad look upon my face. The computer that hosted Ars Math (which was at a dedicated web-site hosting company) died a horrible death a couple of months ago. For a while, it looked like several years of posts had been lost. They could be recovered by c... (original story)

Shapley-Folkman-Starr Theorem

Posted from Ars Mathematica 19 days ago
Mathematics : Mathematics Blogs

While economic theory sometimes uses advanced mathematics, such as Brouwer’s fixed point theorem, it’s less common for economic theory to lead to new mathematical developments. The Shapley-Folkman-Starr Theorem is an example of the latter. Roughly, the theorem states that the (Minkowsk... (original story)

TheoryMine

Posted from Ars Mathematica 19 days ago
Mathematics : Mathematics Blogs

Here’s an odd web site. TheoryMine is a site that sells original mathematical theorems. You pay them money, and TheoryMine uses an automated theorem prover to find a theorem and its proof. The paper The Theory Behind TheoryMind explains more about the how it works. New Scientist has an arti... (original story)
