Not gonna lie. I’m only understanding this on an intuitive level. Seems so cool. Positive geometry! Hurrah. Something else to investigate.

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem.

The Matrix Tree Theorem : Let G be a graph with n vertices and define the Laplacian of G, L(G), to be the n × n matrix whose entry in row i and column j is: 
−(the number of edges joining vertex i to vertex j) 	if i ≠ j, and 
the number of edges incident with vertex i 			if i = j. 
Then the number of spanning trees of G is given by det L(G)(1|1), where L(G)(1|1) is the matrix obtained by deleting the 1st row and 1st column of L(G).

35 years ago, Jim Sanborn presented the cryptographic sculpture Kryptos to the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia. Made from copper, granite, quartz and petrified wood, it has four sections, each of which holds a message in code. Over the years, three of the sections have been solved — by CIA code breakers, a California computer scientist, and the National Security Agency. Now, 79-year-old Sanborn says he's going to auction off the solution to the final message, with the company arranging the sale estimating a winning bid between $300,000 and $500,000. Here's @newyorktimes's story on why he's doing it now, and what he hopes the winning bidder will do with the secret.

"A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories ; and one can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies." – Stefan Banach (1892-1945)

I think I am finally understanding suprema and infima, upper and lower bounds etc., thanks to Olmsted’s book. Now to figure out why they are such a big deal!

(Update: Could this be related to epsilon delta proofs!? Wait… I’ll need to think about this. )

The plane enemy will now follow the player and hurt it when they collide, but like a plane, it cannot take sharp turns, so there's some linear interpolation going on. Isn't it cool that a historian can say mathematical things? #GameDev #Mathematics

#mathematics #maths #math #theorem @Theoremoftheday

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem.

The Small Prime Gaps Theorem : For a prime number p denote by pnext the least prime greater than p. Then 
lim inf _(p→∞) (pnext − p) / (log p) = 0.
