If you regularly work with numbers, and are reasonably good with a spreadsheet, do still do a lot of routine calculations on your handheld calculator ?
I frequently use my casio fx 260, which I love, for routine stuff

question for fellow mathematicians: have you ever heard of a standard name for this symbol: ¬
it's one of many symbols used to represent negation, although unlike all the alternative symbols, it has no alternative name. in Unicode, it's just called "not sign"
I want to call this symbol a "ledge" because it looks sort of like a ledge: you have a horizontal line that's folded over on the right side. but I'm curious if anyone has heard of another name for this, since I can't find anything on it
I have \( N \) identical balls and \( M \) labelled bins in which I can put them. A bin can be left empty, BUT I can only put a maximum of \( n \) in each. How many ways are there of putting the balls in the bins? If \( n=1 \) or \( n = N\), the result is standard. How about for arbitrary \( n \), assuming \( N \leq nM \)? #combinatorics #maths #math #puzzle

Here's a tip for beginners in #AbstractAlgebra, #GroupTheory or #NumberTheory.
Sometimes it's useful to think in terms of the divisibility ordering instead of the usual ordering where 0 ≤ 1 ≤ 2 ≤ …. Divisibility gives a partial ordering on the natural numbers where we say that n ≤ m if n divides m. Or we can extend this order to all integers, in which case n and -n become equivalent in this order because they divide each other.
The main difference is that this isn't a total order. For example 7 doesn't divide 8 and 8 doesn't divide 7. The other difference is that while 0 is the least natural number in the usual ordering, it's the *greatest* number in the divisibility ordering, because everything divides 0!
Thinking this way makes several definitions make more sense:
1. The least common multiple of 12 and 10 is 60, even though 0 is also a common multiple of 12 and 10. This is because 0 is greater than 60.
2. If an element of a group never becomes the identity when you repeatedly multiply it by itself, then we say it has order 0. This is because the order of an element is the least power of the element that equals the identity, under the divisibility ordering.
3. Likewise we say that a ring has characteristic 0 if 1 + … + 1 is never 0. Again we can use the divisibility ordering to say that the characteristic is the least integer for which adding together that number of 1s gives 0.

'The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm.'
Theorem:
replacing math in the K12 curriculum with psychology would be a net benefit
Because in the real world, there are more real life problems related to psychology then to math

Any ideas?
Things my brain thinks up when I'm trying to sleep:
It's possible to raise a number to a positive integer such as 2^2, it's also possible to raise a number to a positive fraction such as 2^(1/2) but what is the result of raising a number to a negative integer or fraction such as: 2^(-2) or 2^(-1/2)?
I'd really love to know the answer to this.

If you're wondering what in Satan's name is that supposed to be doing... well, creating a sphere like in the second image.
Does it work? Not with that formula, as it would need division with units in calc() to get an angle from a triangle where I know the hypotenuse & opposing edge.
But smth like asin(3vw/5vw) doesn't work!
So I have to use asin(3/5), then multiply with 1vw to set lengths.

Aperiodic monotile!
I thought Penrose tiles would never be beaten! There's now a single tile which fills the plane aperiodically!
My first #lasercutter project. Created in #inkscape
Wow!! What a breathe of fresh air this paper is in the midst of suffocating levels of "AI solves everything" hype cycle.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798
They have found at long last, a single tile, an "einstein", which they call a "hat"/polykite that tiles the entire plane aperiodically.
Previously the best known aperiodic tiling of the plane required at the least two different tiles, the most famous ones being the Penrose tiles, and those that adorn Alhambra.
It is all the more wonderful that the first two authors don't have any academic/research affiliations. They write somewhere in the paper, how it all started, so wonderful:
"One of the authors (Smith) began investigating the hat polykite as part of his open-ended visual exploration of shapes and their tiling properties. Working largely by hand, with the assistance of Scherphuis’s PolyForm Puzzle Solver software (www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/polysolver.htm), he could find no obvious barriers to the construction of large patches, and yet no clear cluster of tiles that filled the plane periodically."
Why is the study of tilings such a big deal? Well, it hints at and tries to formalize various physics concepts that are of immense interest to many of us (and dare I say, even neuroscientists): quasi crystals!, possible new states of matter, emergent structures from simple units, how symmetries and asymmetries arise, stability of heterogenous media, soft matter physics, order without periodicity, criticality etc., etc.,
On quasi-crystals and their search, applications, uses etc., I recommend the wonderful Paul Steinhardt's book: "The Second Kind of Impossible: The Extraordinary Quest for a New Form of Matter"
