Friendly math advice: unless you are a genius like Tao, you will never learn math just by reading a textbook and hoping that you understand things. You actually have to roll up your sleeves, grab a pencil or pen, a notepad, find a quiet place, and do the exercises. Do the math💪

Today, May 6, 2025, the kick-off meeting of the @LondMathSoc -MARM program to be implemented at the University of Lubumbashi was held. Lots of projects, lots of mathematics and a dash of Italianness. Stay tuned. unilu.lms-marm-africa.org/

Hurt people hurt people. So how do we heal, together? Not through domination. Not through assimilation. But by returning to what makes us alive. We unite. We nurture. We liberate. Check out my latest article: Have We All Been Hurt? linkedin.com/pulse/have-we-a… #healing #belonging
