I have been like this for at least 5 years, probably more. Never going back.

We love @tweetsauce’s video “Fixed Points,” and it made us wonder about Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem. WHY is it true? Tai-Danae (@math3ma) uses a mathematical portal to give the proof! New episode! youtube.com/watch?v=djaSbH…

2⁷⁷²³²⁹¹⁷-1 is the largest known prime number and was discovered on Jan 3, 2018. It's substantially easier to find primes of the form 2ᵖ-1, also called Mersenne Primes. Here's why: fermatslibrary.com/s/a-really-tri…

What I wish I could convince my Ss who are panicking over final grades: There's SO much more to math than grades: the joy of discovery, a love for learning, an unquenchable curiosity & - especially - a commitment to persevere. Foster these. Enjoy the math. The grades will come.
