Karl Menger (1902-1985) is definitely one of my new favourite mathematicians. See what you can do (and other teenagers) with his fractal cube, aka Menger sponge quantamagazine.org/teen-mathemati…
📐 It’s #MathsWeekEngland 2025! The theme, “Connection or Coincidence?”, has us revisiting Prof @AlainGoriely’s mind-bending lecture “The Deceived Brain: Coding and Illusion.” Can maths explain why our eyes trick us? 👀 👉 gres.hm/coding-illusion @OxUniMaths #Maths #STEM

Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to the brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Noether revolutionized the methods of modern physics by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The third image is her grave marker. #Mathematics

Next week is a birthday of Karl Menger (1902-1985), 5th October. This is a thread about something he thought about and wrote as the rise of National Socialists was worrying him and his many friends. He published this as a little book in Vienna in 1934, under the title "Morality,…

a thread on more recent history of symmetry
Ok a little bit about symmetry: it is one of the oldest concepts in mathematics and appears in many cultures around the globe and in all historical periods. Here's one pictorial representation, not such an old image, but showing how symmetry visits arts comfortably from its…

Mikhail Gromov, the giant of geometry. First time we met when I accidentally ran into him in the Parisian underground sixteen years ago. He somehow knew about my existence and agreed to meet the following day, dedicating to me 3 hours. Today, he came to my talk in Cambridge.
So this came in the post the other day - and has a little article about me on the last page! Thanks @YoaYeo for the lovely interview, @IMAmaths for getting it all done so nicely, and last but definitely not least @London_W4 for a very nice photograph!
