It's been more than 350 years, and we're still wondering, “What proof did Fermat have in mind when he wrote in the margin?” The answer MAY be related to how we understand prime numbers. New episode with Tai-Danae Bradley! youtube.com/watch?v=SsVl7_…
Speaking of ring theory... check out this excellent introduction to (and terrible pun about) rings by Matt Salomone! x.com/matthematician…
"Fortunately, having a faulty proof isn't always a bad thing". Tai-Danae Bradley on PBS Infinite Series. I strongly agree with this!! youtube.com/watch?v=SsVl7_…
Wonderful news, @KelseyAHE! The folks at Olin College are lucky to have you! Congratulations from all of us at Infinite Series! x.com/KelseyAHE/stat…
In the card game SET, what’s the max number of cards that might *not* contain a SET? And what does this have to do with geometry? Today, we’re exploring these questions for a lower-dimensional version of the game. New episode (and puzzle!) from Tai-Danae Bradley! youtube.com/watch?v=zurpOB…
NYC: PBS Nerd Night is happening THIS FRIDAY at the YouTube Space NY! Come see talks from @drjoehanson @pbsspacetime Eons CrashCourse Reactions and MORE! RSVP Here: goo.gl/6Wf8sM
Today, #YouTubeSpaceNY is teaming up with PBS Digital Studios to prove it's Be Smart 🤓! All day we'll be learning with education creators from PBS SpaceTime, PBS Infinite Series, Eons and Real LGBTQ+ Stories. Be on the lookout for cool content coming at you from these channels all day long!
How big is the collection of all infinities put together? You might wanna say "infinite #duh", but... you sure that's the right answer? My (Gabe Perez-Giz) take on Cantor's paradox in the new PBS Digital Studios PBS Infinite Series video: youtube.com/watch?v=TbeA1r…
Neat follow-up from Jeremy Kun ([email protected]) to our episode on the geometry of SET! x.com/mathprogrammin…
How does an uncountable set fit in a countable universe? Robert Low, inspired by PBS Infinite Series, tackles some subtleties of infinity. robjlow.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/cantor… #math #mathchat #mbpick
What's a rational tangle? We're glad you asked! Here's a shoutout to DNA topology, knot theory, and quantum physics. Our next video has it all! Check out the latest with Tai-Danae Bradley! youtube.com/watch?v=JXGyXt…
How are infinite ordinals & cardinals defined, under the hood? This week's PBS Infinite Series has Gabe Perez-Giz's take on how set theory handles infinity. Fun treats like von Neumann cardinal assignment, aleph vs beth #'s, the generalized continuum hypothesis. youtube.com/watch?v=VCksQ6…
There's a new Polymath (online, "massively collaborative" math) project: michaelnielsen.org/polymath1/inde… And, it's about the Hadwiger-Nelson problem, which was featured on a PBS Infinite Series episode: youtube.com/watch?v=59aljc…
You’ve got four cubes, each with red, blue, yellow, and green faces. Can you stack the cubes so that each color appears exactly once on each side of the stack (without going insane)? Thanks to graph theory, the answer is "Yes!" New episode with Tai-Danae Bradley! youtube.com/watch?v=Lw1pF4…
A “target” and “assassin” sit on a square billiard table. Is it possible to block any shot from the assassin using only finitely many points? Find out in our latest episode with Tai-Danae Bradley, inspired by Emily Riehl and a 2014 talk given by Maryam Mirzakhani! youtube.com/watch?v=a7gp9c…
