The Egyptian government condemns #Sydney 's attack on Jews. Terrorism should never happen in the name of Palestinian Cause.

So sweet to see the Modern Algebra course attracting 30 students, including non-Math majors.

It took me a while to discover this limit, and turned out to be solvable using high-school Calculus. #Math #MathSky

It took us years of bloodbath to be here. Sticking to one short-sighted narrative is bad for everyone. All of humanity should celebrate this day for a long living peace. #Israel #Palestine

Following up D. Kurtzer, I found he did support Palestine as well. Full report: www.mei.edu/sites/defaul...

In my home country, and even within the community of The American University in Cairo, a US ambassador to Israel is not welcomed to speak.

#Palestine is calling for help, rebuilding its universities. #science Quote: In light of the systematic destruction of every university by Israeli forces, rendering the academic community nonfunctional, our focus now has shifted mostly to rebuilding Gaza’s higher education system.

Everyone is speaking about Sora 2. I'll try Veo for the first time. The historical walk of Gödel and Einstein. #science

I've just brought a chalkboard into my house 🙂; Today I'm a mathematician. Any tips? #MathSky #Math

The first time I see manifolds used by practitioner AI engineers. #science #AI thinkingmachines.ai/blog/modular...

Long history but an embarassing present, #Egypt. We have all the tools but no good utilization. #science. Download: filebin.net/r4a0bb1ken1n...

It's wonderful to see the community supportive like that. #MathSky #Math

Excellent advice to young students: Rebellion pays — don't follow the system. #science

Quote: "war to destroy Hamas is basically morally justified, even if there are innocent casualties". I denounce. innocent casualties should never be justified but declared as a war crime. It's a militant operational failure for the IDF and US, if innocent casualties is their only solution. #israel

Excited to see a joint Ramsey Theory seminar between @marylanddot.bsky.social and The American University in Cairo (AUC). #MathSky #Math

New Analysis lecture videos and problem sets by MIT OCW. 18.100b is more proof demanding. #MathSky ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-1...

A wonderful Algebraic Geometry workshop by our Egyptian stars: - Moaaz & Hussien, Representation Theory & Algebraic Geometry, PhD students @uoregon.bsky.social - Hazem Hassan, Arithmetic Geometry, PhD student @mcgill.ca #MathSky #Math #Egypt

Math is reputed to be for a limited gifted segment of people. I found this from an advice for startups: paulgraham.com/13sentences.... #MathSky #Math

This online Complex Analysis book contains cool interactive visualizations: complex-analysis.com/content/anal... There is a good potential in augmenting books with modern educational tools. #Math #MathSky

I have just discovered a quality open-access Geometric Deep Learning course: geometricdeeplearning.com as part of African Master’s in Machine Intelligence: aimsammi.org #ML #MachineLearning #AI

Retracting a flawed P ≠ NP paper is involving extensive argumentation rather than a clear immediate resolution. Many more weird things in this world, anyway. Quote: - "The Editor-in-Chief declined to retract the article." - "The authors of the paper in question have asked me to link to their reply."

Researchers subjectively believe in their directions before progressing through them. #science #TCSsky Quote: "Many people believed that there’s no better way. Duan wasn’t one of them. He’d long dreamed of building a shortest-paths algorithm that could break through the sorting barrier."

Behind every technical progress, there is a story of people and life. #MathSky #Math Quote: "I was somewhat lonely. Math was sort of there as a friend almost." www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

I don't know how significant Geometry, Topology, or Algebra, will be on machine learning. Nonetheless, It's great to see a paper surveying and introducing such emerging fields. #AI #MathSky #TCSsky arxiv.org/abs/2407.09468

Where else would we find a TCS community, if not in the US? #TCSsky

Hamas is reported to be seizing Palestinians' starvation as a political tool to put pressure on negotiations. Not the first irresponsible act, though. Such a tragedy to see starvation becoming a game by Hamas and #Israel for their own political plans. #Palestine www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Junior researchers like me won't feel good, seeing Terry losing his grant. #MathSky

Geoffry Hinton's talk highlighted how logic had fallen back in intelligence. For me, it is a reminder that scientific progress may happen outside of our favorite areas. #science #AI #MachineLearning www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikdz...

Call it whatever you want; Israel commiting a war crime, or Hamas threat pushing the IDF to protect itself. Everyone is responsible of #Gaza suffering. A surgeon at Nasser hospital: "I've just finished operating on another severely malnourished young teenager." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Requiring proficiency with mathematical proofs is not common among the machine learning community. Who knows what this will bring us. #AI boazbk.github.io/mltheorysemi...

We are happy to announce a summer workshop on Algebraic Geometry, at The American University in Cairo. It is by our alumni, Moaaz and Hussien, who are currently pursuing their Math PhD at the University of Oregon. sites.google.com/aucegypt.edu...

The Math community in #Egypt had a very sweet gathering in The American University in Cairo. A stunning hall, energetic talks, warming gathering, and sweet donuts. Some stayed late night after the event had ended at 9:30 PM. #MathSky

A very unique book by @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social which treats Category Theory as a theory to understand Pure Math. Given Category as a theory of Math, can we infer which research directions are progressing for Math and which are not? #Math

It's common among theorists to say, someone should follow her passion and what she finds curious. I disagree. A theorist is a truth-seeker who figures the right question at the right time, to progress the intellect. It is possible for wrong acts to occasionally yield good results. #MathSky #TCSsky

My heart is with all my Egyptian undergrad colleagues who lost financial support by #USAID. I don't mind if the US decreased its budget for us. However, halting scholarships during their intermediate periods, risking students the completion of their degrees, is unprofessional. #AcademicSky

As Apple had fallen behind in LLM race, they did research about the limitations of #LLM, rather than pushing its frontiers. This shows how research is based on biased tastes and subjective directions. Paper publication is not science authority. #AcademicSky machinelearning.apple.com/research/ill...

When #CS is useful to #Math 😉

We are thankful for everyone's support to Palestinian students. #MathSky Registeration: univ-lille-fr.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

A researcher is supposed to self-criticize her claims to seek the truth. When publication becomes the goal, it turns into a process of tailoring evidences so that they support a paper's claims. It is easy to do psuedo-science when the goal is to produce what LOOKS objectively correct. #AcademicSky

We should all condemn: - The suffering of people of Gaza. - The two Israeli diplomats shot at the Capital Jewish museum. It's the same misconception: - Harming civilian Gazans in the name of defeating Hamas. - Harming civilian Jews in the name of Palestinian cause. #Israel #Palestine

Regardless of anything this man says, those are truly great pieces of advice. He starts with the youth potential and ends with taking risks Quote: "Progress never comes from those who are satisfied with a broken system. if you wanna go to the top, then you break the system. #Trump

Celebrating women in Mathematics at Cairo university. Unlike the west, women in Arabian regions do truly deserve support. Many families believe women's role is only sitting at home for raising kids. #science #AcademicSky

Unprivileged students have the opportunity of growth from adversity, building their own style and technique since they are not followers. Success comes from unique experiences, not given privileges. #AcademicSky source: x.com/Saraht0n1n/s...

The inventor of modern Reinforcement learning says #AI isn't matured, and we need non-profit basic research. Then science gets budget cuts in the name of efficiency 🤔. source: www.openmindresearch.org

Yes! Good researchers don't just blindly follow directions to quickly publish and get promoted. They are brave to advance what no one works on. #CS #AcademicSky #science source: cacm.acm.org/news/a-rewar...
