We're back on Thurs. 20 Nov when @snezanalawrence.bsky.social will guide us through 'A Little History of Maths.' How did our ancestors think about numbers? How was maths used to explain and understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from? sitp.online/sitp/bedford/ #Bedford

Book Review: A Little History of Mathematics Author: @snezanalawrence.bsky.social Published in Annals of Science and #FREE to read! @tandfresearch.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@snezanalawrence.bsky.social post on Karl Menger @illinoistech.bsky.social inspired me to memorialize 40th anniversary of death w/model of #Shutdown2025 using his mathematical formalism of (in)compatibile groups in my Intro to Math Modeling class @ucsdphysci.bsky.social. Started w/background info:

Theorem of the Day (September 26, 2025) : Galois’ Theorem on Finite Fields Source : Theorem of the Day / Robin Whitty pdf : buff.ly/8Ekyu4p notes : buff.ly/0WyPEYY #mathematics #maths #math #theorem

Absolutely gutted that I won't be able to join you today. I hope to see you soon though.

IMPORTANT UPDATE. Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's talk with Snezana Lawrence, 'A Little History of Maths' is postponed. Deepest apologies for the late notice which is beyond anyone's control. We will be rescheduling and will keep you posted on a new date. Please repost this info.

Our upcoming talk on Thurs. 18th Sept. by @snezanalawrence.bsky.social makes the @bedfordindependent.co.uk entertainment guide. As always, huge thanks for their continued support.

Glorious afternoon. Read @snezanalawrence.bsky.social’s Mathematical Meditations by a lake. Watched light shine through the trees. Discovered hidden paths. Met a turtle. Touched some rocks. 😌

I will love @snezanalawrence.bsky.social forever for introducing me to sangaku🤩! Context ➡️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangaku

Great book, it was my summer holiday read 👍🏻

Today marks the 81st Anniversary of #DDay, the largest seaborne invasion in history and the beginning of the liberation of France. To mark the occasion here's a 🧵 of Yale books with a quote from each. #DDay81

Je viens d'acheter la "petite" histoire des mathématiques de @snezanalawrence.bsky.social

J'adore les illustrations en tête des chapitres ! Bonne idée @snezanalawrence.bsky.social

We now have a full schedule for the rest of 2025! Talks coming up on Climate Change with Jim Harris, Dark Matter with @mattbothwell.com , the history of Maths with @snezanalawrence.bsky.social & Artificial Intelligence with @lawrennd.bsky.social - Full details sitp.online/sitp/bedford/ #Bedford

Tomorrow, at Heffers bookshop in Cambridge (UK) I'll be doing a talk about my "A Little History of Mathematics" - if you are nearby, come and join me and Cambridge friends! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-little-h...

Lovely!

Congratulations!

Excellent!

This hits the bookshops today in UK!

The book is out in the UK today :-)

Enjoy!

So enjoyed attending the Oxford literary festival today and supporting @snezanalawrence.bsky.social who launched her new book ‘A Little History of Mathematics’ with @yalebooks.bsky.social

Hey the weather in England is so nice it's unbelievable! And apparently on Friday in Oxford it will be gorgeous! So come and join me and friends for the Oxford Literary Festival (and as it's at 6pm you won't miss much of the sunshine) oxfordliteraryfestival.org/literature-e...

Some of the highlights of the week in Edinburgh. What a beautiful place.

I wish there were a way to do a little light math as a hobby, the way you get to keep reading for fun even after you stop taking classes (if you know that this exists, please share)

I have been reading Snezana Lawrence's recent book Mathematical Meditations. You might find something of what you want in here. (Just discovered she is on BlueSky @snezanalawrence.bsky.social)

NEW EVENT! Thurs 18th Sept. @snezanalawrence.bsky.social will join us to talk about her new book 'A Little History of Mathematics.' She'll trace the fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers. sitp.online/sitp/bedford/ #maths

This looks fascinating! We'd love to host you for a talk. I have sent you an email. I hope we can arrange something. Thank you.

This is what you shall do.

It's exactly a month to the launch of my book at the Oxford Literary Festival! If you are in the UK then you should perhaps come and see me in discussion with colleagues and friends from @yalebooks.bsky.social oxfordliteraryfestival.org/literature-e...

Hey @pubsci.bsky.social followers, April's speaker is snezana Lawrence who'll talk about some of the lesser known stories in the history of maths and present her wonderful new book (published just a week before PubSci). Pre-order you copy now!

Just rediscovered some #Mathematica code I wrote five years ago to help me find cool 2D strange attractors 😍😍😍 #mathart

Look what just dropped on my desk today! As well as the news that a Thai-language edition will also be available in a not too distant future...

While this piece focuses on Christmas (and so I think it would certainly speak to many Christians), there are definitely analogies in the Jewish calendar -- from lighting candles to open and close to Shabbat, to increasing the lights from one to eight on Hanukkah,

Begin with a circle (blue in the image below) and a fixed point P on the circle. For every other point Q on the circle, draw a new circle with center Q and radius PQ. The envelope of these circles is a cardioid. www.geogebra.org/m/sxztqbby

Start with a circle of radius r and a fixed point on the circle, A. For each point B on the circle, find the two points on the line AB that are r units away from B. These points trace out a cardioid. The cardioid is thus a conchoid of the circle. www.geogebra.org/m/bctmcj6f

A lovely little film about Barry Mazur on 'The Infinite Cheese of Knowledge' www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEf2...

Just a week left to register for this fantastic workshop in Edinburgh, taking place at the end of March. If you are interested in International Mathematics Olympiads, problem solving, mathematics education, then this is the place to be! icms.org.uk/workshops/20...

No matter what you think of Ed Witten or of string theory, this is a very nice read 🧪 #ScienceSky johnhorgan.org/cross-check/...

A lovely article about William Rowan Hamilton and the poet William Wordsworth - in summary, it was suggested to Hamilton to stick with his day job (mathematics) rather than further pursue poetry. Shared with me by friend @mfried17 wordsworth.org.uk/blog/2015/05...

On trouve bien sûr les manuscrits sur Gallica (avec la lettre écrite à l'abbé Sallier de la Bibliothèque royale quelques jours avant son décès) par exemple: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b... ou (pour la capture d'écran ci-dessous) gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...
