I have a second piece display at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley CA this month, entitled "Julia". Here it is, and a short math-explainer of what we're looking at

I used to post long #VisualAlgebra threads on #MathTwitter before realizing that I was actually in #TheBadPlace. I'm going to make my debut #MathSky thread today, with visuals that I've never publicly shared. (Can you guess the topic?) I'm excited to show you, and I hope you enjoy! 1/19 🧵👇

This is the article I was interviewed for! Their new wonderful proof(s) of Pythagoras are now published in the Monthly. www.sciencenews.org/article/teen...

We are at the tail end of the autumn splendor, but there's still enough colour in the leaves to make a nice backdrop for a Great Blue Heron. Oromocto, #NewBrunswick, Canada October 2024 📸 #birds #GBHE #nature #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

My institution held a workshop about this one summer and I went. I didn't have to change anything about my courses, but I did rewrite all my syllabi in a way that makes them much friendlier to new students and easier to navigate.

So. A bit of a brag on a project I've been working on this summer. First: credit where credit is due. I learned about what I'm going to describe from @clontz.org, while participating in last summer's MAA/AIBL workshop led by @drew-lewis.com et al.

grades are in for 2 of 3 classes. the sun is shining. saw an oriole this morning. picking up the oldest from college today and taking the whole family to a concert this evening. maybe I'll do some math this afternoon

Today's classes included one dedicated to @dccmath.bsky.social . My students have been studying the classification of wallpaper patterns into 17 symmetry types, and today they practiced making some patterns to fit given descriptions. Here is a thread of images for your enjoyment 1/n

I'll also shamelessly self promote our MAA OPEN workshop this summer, where you can learn how to do Team-Based Inquiry Learning (which these resources were designed for).

We are running another workshop on Team-Based Inquiry Learning this summer as part of the MAA OPEN workshop series. Held virtually June 24--28. @nativemath.bsky.social @tienchihmath.bsky.social

Working on a new article about student evaluations of teaching (SETs) and feeling a little spicy about it. #highereducation

some days feel like a bad spiral but you can always try to do something small and under your own control So I made stickers to hand out to my number theory class

I'm still not really sure why you'd want to listen to *me*, but Sharona and Bos are great.

booooooo

Registration is open for the Grading Conference! June 13-15 2024, online. Low cost and pay-what-you can options are available. If you're interested in learning more about alternative grading or sharing your work, check it out! thegradingconference.com/registration...

who would like to join me in being angry about math! it's a good time, I promise!

choice: go to gym for small lift and sprint training OR stay home and fuss over tomorrow's first day of class plans which are basically ready Note: it is 3 degrees Fahrenheit and not getting warmer

got to referee HS indoor matches last night. had a fun time and wore the new hot pink uniforms

Hi Everyone! Schools are all restarting so it is time for the syllabus sharing ritual. First up, here is my syllabus for a senior level partial differential equations course, where I expect 3-5 students 1/3

The Times, as usual, focuses on elite institutions, but the blowback will be awful at red state regional publics as state legislators learn to use this playbook.

been doing hw exercises to prep for next term's PDE class. Damn Fourier series are magical.

break between semesters might be the time to plan: Can I get my department to agree we should teach our math & math ed students how to draw a little? And maybe a tad bit of python?

woke up this morning with lil jon's xmas collaboration with the kool aid man so it is definitely the holidays How long until this plays in a target during shopping season?

The universe was unimpressed with this. I got an email at 7am today that one of these "done" classes was getting bumped to a dual enrollment undergrad/grad course... and so I needed to plan the grad part. I have not learned any productive lessons

One thing I liked about the other place was my crowd had lots of thoughtful reflective educators and we would sometimes do syllabus swap day. anyone wanna do that again? (totally bragging that I have 2 out of 3 syllabi for spring done as of this moment)

exam week is upon me. I don't wanna grade papers, so I'm planning next term. And who is the wonderful human who left me 95% of a semester in a folder last spring that I can reuse for next spring? I know the name, but I do not recognize this behavior.

Sat through a meeting with a rep from one of the big publishers showing off their online homework/assessment system. And ya'll. They do not understand ANYthing about the way our courses are designed. Or about the role that an instructor plays. Or what it means to assess student understanding.

as local club president, I just bought some gear to give away to new soccer referees in the spring but now i've got a tab open at officialsports for the sale and i'm having trouble exercising self-control

teaching about the system of the Lorenz equations this week. got my history & links ready yesterday, so today I'm making fancy pictures #having_fun

my outdoor soccer season is done for 2023. So I washed, cleaned, reorganizied, and packed up most of my gear. Just left out the few things I'll need for indoor soccer (now thru march) Looking at my records: 206 matches this year. 635 since I went back in spring 2021.

been discussing the ideal pendulum in differential equations this week, so I got to draw these fun pictures

hi. @sbagley.bsky.social let me in, so its his fault maybe I'll hang around a bit
