I've joined the Association for Human Mathematics and I think fellow members of the mathematics community who value and prioritise human mathematics should consider joining too https://www.ahmath.org/

next Greek epic for hollywood treatment needs to be Euclid's Elements. overdue
Because we care deeply about international mathematics and its mathematicians, we must recognize the threat to both that the upcoming ICM poses.
Please read and consider signing:
Move the 2026 ICM out of the United States

finally a German Abel Prize winner
Replying to
@jesusmargar@mastodon.social I assume the authors are waiting until there is a critical mass of signatures before publishing them, given the sensitivities that might be involved in sticking one's neck out before there is strength in numbers
Replying to
@jesusmargar@mastodon.social likewise I assume the authors don't want to distract from the content by putting their own names on it at this point, but I can say they are all mathematicians I absolutely trust to conduct this responsibly.
one striking difference between 2026 and past American efforts:
"Visa requests remain the sole responsibility of each individual traveler and beyond providing a letter of invitation, the ICM Organizing Committee and/or the International Mathematical Union cannot provide further support." https://www.icm2026.org/event/ac193975-5d24-4628-8c30-ddb23de19a8b/visa-information
2026, now with 3% more maths
not me fact checking a completely trivial congressional resolution https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=7627
ok maths buddies, what are we doing this year for Hypatia's birthday?
anyone seen any good notations lately?
