@doboprobodyne one tiny problem with the "type equations at the speed of thought" -- most #mathematicians can *already* type equations and such at the speed of thought, because TeX notation is so deeply ingrained in their brains/fingers. For example, if I'm thinking of

\[ \int_0^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)\, dx \]

then I just automatically type

\int_0^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)\,mathrm{d}x

without really thinking about it, and I don't have to take my hands off my keyboard.

That said, it looks like a fun little device, especially if it's QMK compatible.

Saw this nascent #macropad for #mathematicians and thought of #mathstodon

Their slogan is "Type equations at the speed of thought with this specialized keypad".

I'm not a mathematician, so if I've missed any hashtags out please feel free to add them by reply!

As a mathematically not-so-sophisticated #EE/#CS bloke, I sometimes wonder whether those bona fide #mathematicians and #physicists (or those EE/CS folks who had attained such heights of mathematical sophistication) view me as a "maths carpenter".

Oh hey, hang on there. There's nothing wrong with being a carpenter or a mason or a farmer; these callings predate mathematics and physics by several millennia. They kick-started the human civilisation, and they continue to grow it.

Still, I wonder....

Of course this was known to many famous #mathematicians, like #Euler and #Jacobi and they solved the equations in terms of #EllipticIntegrals. I find it satisfying to be able to visualize the #dynamics of the this system, using #FreeSoftware, such as #WxMaxima.

@sellathechemist #ClassicKit index page now open in a browser tab that will probably remain there until I can't restore it any more. Haven't #mathematicians got there own site/page for their obscure survivors where Klein could be celebrated without the help of creatives modelling their stuff for them in Real Matter?

So good to see liberal America standing up to the Trumpian threat today. A strange thing happened to me as I followed the topical posts.

Each time I saw the #HandsOff hashtag, what my brain read instead was #Hausdorff, for Felix Hausdorff, the eminent mathematician.

To my shame, I knew nothing about Felix Hausdorff the man. To me as a former Berliner and an emigree to England, Hausdorff sounded like an East Prussian landed-gentry name, I expected a Junker. Wrong. Today I learnt that Felix Hausdorff was in fact Jewish. He, his wife and his sister in law escaped the death camps by suicide, in 1942. (His daughter Lenore survived.) I never knew.

So there really is a hidden connection between today's encouraging #HandsOff news and Felix Hausdorff, the great thinker who was exposed to the same evil of unchecked state power that threatens us today, and against which today's protests took a stance.

Happy birthday to one of greatest #mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front of a blackboard with a more simple formulation of her theorem and three specific applications of it, shown schematically, 🧵1/

My linocut portrait of Emmy Noether in front of a blackboard with diagrams and equations. Noether is printed in blue. She has her hair up and wears a pin-striped buttoned shirt with puffy sleeves, bow tie, tweed skirt with belt and is shown from waist up, turned slightly away from the viewer. The blackboard is green and shows a simple form of Noether’s equations at the top. On the left are three diagrams to represent translational symmetry (a frame of reference or 3 orthogonal axes and a straight diagonal arrow to a second frame of reference); rotational symmetry (a frame of reference and curved arrow to a second rotated frame of reference); and time symmetry (two simple clocks with an arrow between them and their hands at different places). On the right are the three associated conserved quantities: momentum (a p with arrow above it); angular momentum (an L with arrow above it); and energy (E).

Happy #Nowruz to all who celebrate. Makes much more sense to me to celebrate the #NewYear at the beginning of spring on an astronomically significant day rather than on some odd, astronomically insignificant day in mid-winter. I mean, what’s up with that anyway? So to celebrate Nowruz, which BTW is observed by an enormous population including in Iran, Central and South Asia, I’m posting a short video memorial to one of the greatest #mathematicians ever, who happened to be an #Iranian woman, Maryam Mirzakhani. The first woman to win the Field’s Prize, math’s equivalent to the Nobel, Mirzakhani broke barriers and forever changed her chosen field. A Harvard graduate and former professor at both Princeton and Stanford, she deserves more attention than she gets. Regrettably, she died far too young at 40. May the new year bring us more genius minds like hers. #math #mathematics #STEM #WomenInSTEM #science

ā€œCurrently years into the development of the #TopologicalQubit, the journey began with a single question, ā€œCould a topological qubit be achievedā€?

Working with theory as a starting point, #Microsoft brought together #mathematicians, #ComputerScientists, #physicists, and #engineers to explore possible approaches.

These experts collaborated, discussed methods, and completed countless equations to take the first steps on the path toward realizing a topological #qubit.ā€

I am extraordinarily fortunate to work with #Moodle in my job for @catalysteu I am additionally fortunate to have been working on the #STACK #maths #question type for much of the last year. #math is too important to be left just to #mathematicians

I have collaborated on a blog post that covers STACK and our STACK hosting service which you can read here.

catalyst-eu.net/blog/2025/01/3

Moodle and the STACK software are available under the #GPL license.

2025-02-02

Just as #software systems mirror the #communication structures of their creators, #computers embody the #binary, #reductionist mindset of #mathematicians.

The company I work for, @catalyst-eu has announced our
#Moodle #STACK hosting service. I have been a fan of STACK for more than 10 years and I am excited that we have this offering.

Moodle and STACK are licensed under the #GPL and this is a service to make it easy to set up, run and create #quizzes that cover almost any area of #Maths imaginable. #Math is not just for #Mathematicians
