@steckl.esReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialI continue to find a bit of time each day to produce a zine for #mathober! Today's is about the Reciprocal Prime Constant, which is nicely related to a thing I already knew about, but M is new to me. PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo12
@mathforlove.bsky.socialBig numbers are very hard to develop an intuition for. That's why this little game from @wired.com is so surprising and fun www.wired.com/story/spend-...
@studymaths.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialI do have something along those lines!
@mathforlove.bsky.socialI love it, and I can't remember seeing anyone make this kind of design before. It looks like a kind of face to me. Or maybe it's purely abstract?

@mathforlove.bsky.socialIn a recent visit to some friends, I noticed that their 7-year-old son was playing with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. His mom sent me this photo today.
@mathforlove.bsky.socialWhen we talk about misleading representations of data, this one may have to be in the hall of fame. (Though I assume it was a joke in the first place)
@tcarmody.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialThis is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
@mathforlove.bsky.socialThis also helps me understand why I've been so into the Zombies. They get to it really quickly, which I guess I like. But even though This Will Be Our Year is a great song, it wasn't my pick for this list - A Rose for Emily gets to the heart of the music/story basically as fast as possible.
@mathforlove.bsky.socialSometimes it misdirects you to present a revelation or bafflement of your expecation (A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy) And then there are some that I'm not sure how to classify Lachrymosa by Mozart Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash
@mathforlove.bsky.socialI've been thinking about this question all evening. I think it's because the first fifteen seconds of a song can do such different work. Sometimes it just gets into the heart of the song (A Rose for Emily by the Zombies) Sometimes it's a completely different preamble (Rocky Raccoon, the Beatles)
@davidkbutler.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialTwo stages of a pattern blocks design between two mirrors, at #100factorial yesterday.
The designer was unsatisfied with her first design, wanting a bigger triangle to fill the corner next to the orange square. I suggested making a bigger pink triangle out of four smaller ones and off she went.
@davidkbutler.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialAn unexpected use of the upscale pattern blocks at #100factorial yesterday @mathforlove.bsky.social
@mathforlove.bsky.socialThese are great! I like vertical.
@mathforlove.bsky.socialI signed this petition, and if early numeracy is something you care about, you should think about signing it too :-)

@mathforlove.bsky.socialThis is really worth reading
@mathforlove.bsky.socialThat's super cool. We briefly considered the Ulam spiral for the official board.
@davidkbutler.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialBefore the second game we arranged the cards by number of distinct prime factors (or by number of different colours if you like).
@davidkbutler.bsky.socialReposted by @mathforlove.bsky.socialBodyscale Prime Climb at #100factorial yesterday. We arranged the cards in an Ulam spiral first to see what that looked like with the coloured cards.
