When I tweeted "Maths is in my heart" @trixiebarretto was inspired to make a video of me: vimeo.com/33615260

There's a mathematician six floors above me where I work. I'd never had much to do with her, but I'd heard she'd had an unusual childhood in Burma, and grew up to become the first female professor of...

I've now had a few interactions like this: Them: "Hey, big fan. I improved on your construction for X! Look at this LLM text filled with words like 'verified'." Me: "How does it Y?" Them: "Y?" Me: "Y. The crucial thing needed for it to X. Check that it Ys." Them: [ghosts me]

While the Fields Medal celebrates the under-40s, the mathematician Joan Birman has, at the age of 99, solved a major open problem in representations of the Braid groups, a topic she has worked on for more than 60 years.

Last month, the Niels Bohr Library & Archives at @AIP_HQ made public three interviews with J. Robert Oppenheimer that were formerly only accessible to a select few researchers. Ryan Dahn analyzes the context of one of them: a 1963 interview that focused on Oppenheimer’s early career in Europe and California. #histSTM physicstoday.aip.org/feature…

Oppenheimer reflects on his early career

Interviews now available to the public bring the famed physicist’s lesser-known early years to life.

This is absolutely not disputable. AI systems outperform 0% of working research mathematicians on the core mathematical activities of concept-building, problem-setting and conjecture-making.
