My colleagues and I have started the process of applying for a grant from #NSF. This is a strange time for such things here ( šŗšø ) but if anyone is interested I can "live-blog" the process here to document any surprises or changes from our past experience. Specifically we are applying for a "conference grant" to support travel for graduate students and postdocs to an annual regional conference series on mathematical analysis. The conference organizers, including myself, have successfully applied for this grant approximately every year since 2015 - last year it was at Indiana University in Bloomington and for 2025 the location will rotate here to #PurdueFortWayne. So - stay tuned, either for good news or an informative fail-in-public anecdote!

Amid all the excitement last week I forgot that it was the sixth teaching week of the Semester. That means that weāre now past the halfway point. Among other things that meant that examination papers were due in on Friday (8th November). That means two papers for each module Iām teaching, one to be sat in January and another for the repeat opportunity in August, so thatās four altogether.
I always find setting examination questions very difficult. In theoretical physics we want to stretch the stronger candidates at the same time as allowing the weaker ones to show what they can do. Itās a perennial problem how to make the questions neither too easy nor too difficult, but it is compounded this time by the fact that Iām teaching two modules for the very first time so judging the right level is tricky.
Another issue is that Iām once again in a situation in which I have to set examination papers without having taught all the material. At least Iāve covered the first half of the content so I have some idea of what the students found difficult, but thatās not the case for the second half. It should be a bit easier next year once Iāve experience of covering the whole syllabus. Assuming, of course, that Iām teaching the same modules again next year, which is by no means guaranteedā¦
Iām teaching a module on Differential Equations and Complex Analysis for 4th year students and just about ready to switch to the part that comes after the and. I taught a bit of Complex Analysis when I was at Sussex and Iām quite looking forward to it, although it does pose a particular challenge. Some of the class are doing a Double Major in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, and have done quite a lot of Complex Analysis before, while others are doing a Single Major in Theoretical Physics and havenāt really done any. I have to somehow find a way to satisfy these two different groups. The only way I can think of to do that is to teach the subject as a physicist rather than a pure mathematician, with an emphasis on examples and real-world applications rather than in the abstract. Weāll see how this works out over the next few weeks.
P.S. On the subject of Complex Analysis, I just remembered this post from a few years ago.

Sometimes, you write a function to compute some complicated thing that has as yet no appearance to you at break-finger pace just to see what the thing looks like. Then, boom. You're looking at God's t-shirts. And it's cool.
After getting Bill Tavis' #Mandelmap (https://www.mandelmap.com) I got again interested in the Mandelbrot set and want to know more about it. Is there somewhere a book that explains to a mathematical reader our current knowledge about the set? Or could someone of the experts write such a book and inform me about it in a few years, once it is ready? š

Five Models for Making Sense of Complex Systems
| by Christina Wodtke
| Medium
Five diagrams are particularly useful for understanding complex systems. This seems more important every day, as we are all complexifying things full time.

Is there a "Stop doing complex analysis" meme already?
1/0 is just the point at infinity on the extended complex plane, which is the North Pole of the Riemann sphere

Who needs coffee, when you can evaluate an integral like the one below to wake you up :neofox_googly:

Finished the second assignment for the Complex analysis course, and my brain must have reached the limitā¦ of $$\frac{e^{it}}{t}$$ as $$t \to \infty$$ :neofox_dizzy:

I'm doing a review exercise at the end of Book 2 (out of 4) from the Complex analysis, and I got the wrong value of an integral. The given solution uses a different method, so now I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong.
I bet the reason is something along the lines of "oh you can't use method X here, because the foxxo is too floofy to be boopable at eĻ" :neofox_googly_shocked:
