Friday Potpourri


While attempting to compute just how fast the revolving door at the White House was spinning this week, I compiled another set of math bits:

1)  A listing of some free online math courses:

2)  3Blue1Brown takes on the Uncertainty Principle:

3)  Lots of ideas for teachers from “Math = Love”:

4)  Of math and recent movies…:

5)  Applied group theory via Peter Woit/Greg Moore:

6)  Another young math prodigy:

7)  h/t to Frank Harrell pointing to this recent piece on Bayesian inference:

8)  “Hybrids” in mathematics, from “Mathematics Rising”:

9)  NovaPBS ran “Prediction by the Numbers” this week, their introduction to probability and forecasting:

10) The latest from unpredictable mathemusician Vi Hart:

11)  Another podcast with Eugenia Cheng:

13)  If you need still more to read, another whole set of links from David Eppstein:
https://11011110.github.io/blog/2018/02/28/linkage.html

...also David lists 64 female mathematicians on Wikipedia here:
https://11011110.github.io/blog/2018/03/01/64-mathematicians.html

...and at another site, 32 women in statistics and data science:

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

maybe just a couple of tweets to end with:

1)  It's looking like Anthony Weiner may be loose in the UK, but those Brits can handle it:

2)  less certain if we can handle things:
