🧵 My 3rd book is now out! It is on the fascinating history of math. How did people throughout history think about math?What problems did they care about? How did they express them? How were they solved? This book includes a lot of historical math. a.co/d/gsoNKxP
In the age of AI writing, it is more important than ever to emphasize this to the next generation. Writing is not a simple record of what you think---it is one of the best ways to learn. And it is a means to uncover what you didn't know you believed.

Showed my kids their first two Counterexamples in Analysis. Brains broken. Me happy.

ICYMI: I wrote a math history song. (And I think it's actually pretty damn good!) You can watch the music video on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=0KrT_V… Or listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/3MEbKXC5…
Little news: I wrote a song! It is a math history version of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." I then got Tom Bedlam to perform it, and I turned that into a music video. Check it out! I hope you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=0KrT_V…

Why Do We Prove Things In Math?

I am starting a sequence of videos on my YouTube channel in which I will cover the main content of my Proofs book. In the first video, I argue that learning proofs amounts to a "phase change" in your math eduction. Please check it out and subscribe! youtube.com/watch?v=HbUagv…

I write "long-form math" books. A few years ago I thought of the phrase "Long-Form Merch" and thought, "well, now I have to do it." I'll add more over time, but in case you want some fun math-based merch, you can check it out my Etsy store here: etsy.com/shop/LongFormM…




Being a dad is amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
Going to make some YouTube videos soon. Today I worked on my best Grant Sanderson impression.
Thanks for these suggestions! Keep them coming! And if you want to see my eventual YouTube videos, then you can subscribe here: youtube.com/@LongFormMath
I plan to make lecture videos on my textbooks, starting with my Proofs one, which I’ll post to YouTube. If you have any thoughts or suggestions on any part of this project, let me know! Could be content, style, logistics, presentation, recording tools, editing software, etc
