6)  Ben Orlin on mathematics and arithmetic:

7)  Steven Strogatz on eigenvectors and eigenvalues... and Google:

8) Tracy Zager has a book out “Becoming the Math Teacher You Wish You’d Had.” Read about it here:
…and she has an ongoing project collecting autobiographical sketches of math teachers as well, you can keep up with here:

10)  ICYMI, a busy week at Math-Frolic touching upon interviews, a puzzle, student loan debtFrancis Su, and some news in AI.

Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
