What mistake has happened in my phone to make it tell me the sun is going to go down at 12.36pm in Dundee today?! All the other locations are showing the normal depressing time of 4.30ish!

The @ima-maths.bsky.social seems quite proud they invited BAE to speak at their conference. I am so so disappointed that an institution which normally funds sweet creative maths projects and supports maths communities has chosen to platform BAE Systems which produces munitions used in genocide.

Nice try human, I’m not wasting time solving that impossible cube. Treats now.

I don’t think that @ima-maths.bsky.social should be inviting speakers from BAE Systems to speak at their conference when BAE manufactures weapons which are used by Israel in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. That sounds like Maths being complicit to me.

It’s ya girls first ✨producer credit✨ Here is the video youtu.be/eqyuQZHfNPQ?... it has all your favourite maths hits: triangle number, square number, cube number, 45 pin bowling… I am very proud of it 💗

Okay, now I’ve found their “Bagpipe Practice Room” I think Scotrail might just be having us on!

“Whisky Distillery” On a train?! How? @geofftech.bsky.social

I can’t quite explain it but something about describing a country’s birth rate in “births per woman” feels really misogynistic. (As well as the obvious erasure of NB n trans peeps who give birth)

Happy Paperback Publication Day @drrageshri.bsky.social Your writing is so compassionate and forceful. I believe this book will change the relationship between medical practitioners and patients for the better (and probably already has done) 💗✨

This is another thing I have been doing lately and it’s really fun. Go get involved maths nerds! 💗

I’ve been doing so much stuff lately but I never get time to reflect or share! Here’s a mini documentary I made about the recent free Community Meal we organised, using veg from a local growing project :) Tryna live as if it’s the first day of a better world 🌍💗✨🦀

Well this is fun. The Met Office are taking suggestions for new storm names. Sure would be a shame if we named them BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, and Shell 👀 www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

How many Howie Hua? Only one Howie Hua. According to Google AI. How did it count? (@howiehua.bsky.social’s fun subitising resources “how many” are so great for low barrier prompting of mathematical discussions)

Grime Time with James Games.

Oooh Morse code content!!

Do you pronounce it "google" or "joogle"?

Literally the coolest teacher of geometry around! I love your diagrams and wisdom 😍

I misread this and wondered why not a single person in the comments was talking about the shoegaze/post-hardcore/chip-ish band ✨Idiot Pilot✨ who were my absolute jam circa 2005

Spent my 12345th day on Earth processing sea grass for a re-wilding project at Loch Craignish. It was awesome! All the sea grass is safely planted now and hopefully soon there will be a sea grass meadow habitat 🌱🦀🦭🦑🌊

Today is my 12345th day on Earth! 🥳 And look at what my van did in celebration (an hour and twenty early) 🚙 I don’t remember being 1, 12, 123 or 1234 days old and I probably won’t make it to 123456 days - so it’s time to celebrate!! 🌈💗✨

Something I did in the other place was the Math Photo Challenge-a weekly invitation (June-July) to notice the world through a mathematical lens and share a photo. I’m giving it a go on Bluesky. First prompt drops June 5th. Everyone’s welcome to join! 📷 Tag your posts with #MathPhoto25. #ITeachMath

I desperately need there to be a word for when a meal is the best you’ve ever tasted, not because of the actual food but because of the circumstances in which you are eating it.

Une vidéo intéressante de @ayliean.bsky.social ! Ça m'a fait penser au tweet de @collmaths sur les nombre de Delannoy  (c'est un homonyme...😉) et une démonstration qui fait intervenir le triangle de Pascal.

Gutted I can’t go to this screening tonight! The anti-immigrant crowd are planning some get together in Dundee on Saturday so if you want to show them that racism and fascism isn’t welcome then come along and take up the space :) @foodnotbombsdundee.bsky.social

Cool question! Minimum understanding: someone can talk me through it and I go “ah I see” but I probably won’t remember it Full understanding: I can be the person explaining it to someone else Deep understanding: I can connect it to other areas of maths and get the same thing from different views

Three consecutive hours of high energy Maths Communication done! ⭐️ Complete with modelling balloon Octahedron on a stick As the only Platonic solid with <2 odd nodes it is the only one which can be made by a single modelling balloon I will now be retreating back into the woods 🌲🌳🌈💗✨

Yes, technically right now I am in a beautiful Scottish mountain stream. But in half an hour I will be sat at my desk ready to do some fun Maths live streams over on Parallel. Tonight’s topics: 6pm 3D Shapes 7pm Tiles and Tessellations 8pm Graph Theory Pop in and say hi!

Tonight I’ll be running free Maths Circles (basically fun livestreams) over on Parallel. Our evening’s menu is: 6pm 3D Shapes 7pm Chess Puzzles 8pm Frobenius Numbers They’re aimed at young people, but nobody can stop you checking them out if you feel young at heart :) www.parallel.org.uk

I’m willing to bet this is the nerdiest thing you will do all day, get in here and watch some NUMBERS!!

Tonight, 7pm we premier Matt’s Say The Prime debut! It’s a wild 5 minute ride of number fun. Come along, I’ll see you in the chat :) youtube.com/@saytheprime

FYI: I'm part of the Finite Group, a friendly bunch of mathematicians with a free Discord community and monthly livestreams about cool bits of maths. Our next is 23rd May, when I'll be chatting with @Ayliean.bsky.social about maths & Rubik's cubes! Find out more and join at finitegroup.co.uk

This train journey I’ve been experimenting with Truchet-Like tiles for representing base 10 numbers. Fun squiggles :)

A satisfying and useless maths fact to start your weekend 💗 youtu.be/MzMPK7OeHow

Clopen Mic is on RIGHT NOW! Get on in here: www.youtube.com/live/JVu2CG6... I've already learned that if the universe was shrinking then it would ✨look✨ like it was expanding 👁️👄👁️

This is going to be so cool. Thursday, be there and be square!

Oooooh my gosh, I’m gonna have to do a PhD so that I can wear one of the cuuute pins! (I would actually love to do a PhD in something maths/education/ethics/communication related)

Motion to call it the “Ardersier wheel” instead. it’s closer to Ardersier than Inverness and we always get missed out. There was even a whole new rail track built toward Ardersier that missed the village by 3 miles! 🥹

Oxford Online Maths Club let me nerd out about Morse Code for an hour! So much fun :) www.youtube.com/live/YzBUNRr...

You can use classroom skills at protests to build community 💗✨ (and stop the government sliding us into fascism)

Another day, another tadpole cat drawing. Moby and Steven, my greatest tadpole cat drawing challenge yet. How do you draw an all black cat as a tadpole without them just looking like a tadpole?

Another day, another tadpole cat. Trans women are women 💗 Trans men are men 💙 Trans rights are human rights 🤍

Applying light graph theory for Eulerian paths to the London Underground escalator system isn't even in the top 3 nerdiest things I've done today✨

This year's #MathArtMarch was beautiful in so many ways. I made some art and when I fell off, the rest of the community carried the flame and I got to see so much joyful nerdy creativity - I'm smiling writing this post! Here's a Padlet to collect future prompt ideas 💗 padlet.com/ayliean/math...

I am sorry, I insist you watch this video - it is art. I am running a collective human effort to say the longest prime number we know out loud, chunk by chunk, and this person is absolutely crushing it. It is bringing me so much joy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xdL...

Kitten Loaf Tadpoles!

When I was in NYC I also kept a page in my notes of all of the fauna I saw!

That makes sense because I think polygons are the bee’s knees!

Colour changing flower pride badge?! Are you kidding me?! And I get to support a friend’s small business?! Let’s goooooo! 🌈🌸💗✨

Is anyone able to ID these tadpoles for me? Some maybe helpful info: - Hatched in the last 2 days - In the North East of Scotland - They definitely have frilly gills, which says Newt to me But I’ll put a photo of their spawn below, which looks way more frog! Tag ya favourite UK herpetologists 💚

Maybe they’re all negative tariffs? Personally, as a mathematician, my favourite negative number is 4. Source: ustr.gov/issue-areas/...
