In which Vihart constructs a 6-pentagon polylink out of (U.S.) Smarties. This candy as called "Rockets" in the U.K., Canada, and most other places.

One of the most interesting uses of diffusion models I've seen thus far.

The second instalment of Vihart's recent scutoid series. I hope there are more to come.

One of the OG mathematics communicators on YouTube is back.

This site contains the mathematical archives of Alexander Grothendieck from 1949 to 1991. There you will find manuscripts, "typescripts", sometimes printed documents, in a classification essentially faithful (when it existed) to the author's classification . Of the 28,000 (approximately) pages in this collection, only 18,000 (approximately) are currently accessible

I hope some of us will benefit from his knowledge.

Open source repo in link, and most recent patch was just a few months ago! Single player had several nice puzzles, took a nice 30 minutes. Includes 2 player mode and a level creator.

Note it's 'hold leftclick and swipe' to cut an edge in the browser/pc.

You may have seen that cool new arXiv feature 'experimental HTML' - this is about stuff like that! Latex (and hence a lot of math research) is not well suited to screen readers, but HTML is. If you'd like to learn more about how your paper can be in the format, or just about how to make research more accessible, this could be useful!

The art of scientific prediction has seeped into every aspect of our lives, influencing our habits and perspectives. Weather, transport, space conquest, architecture and even agriculture: our daily lives are inextricably linked to forecasts. In this first season, Cédric Villani takes us into the thrilling story of the invention of differential equations, calling on Isaac Newton, Christian Huygens, Leonhard Euler, Henri Poincaré...

Very nice vulgarization !

The Collège de France promotes and teaches research currently being carried out in sciences, letters and the arts. Courses, seminars and conferences are open to all and free.

Everyone is welcome as long as places are available.

Just love this concept

I've been dabbling in mental divisibility rules over the past few months, but hadn't previously come across these diagrams to track the remainder. Neat trick, and kind of artistic too.

Another entertaining Numberphile video. I just wish they dug into the more complex maths to account for the non-equal probability of each Pokémon.

I get about 1/1772 but I'm not confident
