TODAY is the DAY! Launch day! Don't believe in your own math potential? @Math4HF might change your mind. Think doing math must be devoid of feeling? I wrote my book to move hearts. There ARE better answers to the Q: "why do #math?" than just "to be college-and-career-ready."

What is that sitting on my office table? Oh, it is just a function of two variables that has a limit of zero along every line to the origin but whose limit does not exist. Playing around with the GeoGebra virtual reality app. – at Carlisle, PA

The wrinkling and folding of thin #elastic sheets is familiar to most, and similar patterns occur in a wide variety of settings. During his invited talk at #SIAMAN18, Robert Kohn will discuss these patterns. Read a summary of his upcoming talk. sinews.siam.org/Details-Page…

You’ll be glad to know that all MAA journals (including Monthly) are double-blind. More journals should do this to address implicit bias. @maanow #JMM2018
