After pardoning myself for all the things I’ve said, or will in the future say (or think or whisper) about our dysfunctional (to put it kindly) President, I proceeded to compile another weekly math potpourri:
1) Eli Maor on math & music:
2) Fermat primes and almost Fermat primes:
3) Michael Harris on Peter Scholze and more:
4) John Golden recommends these calculus videos from Paula Krieg as “beyond fabulous… beautiful and ingenious”!:
5) Biking, mathematics, and Keith Devlin collide:
6) An interesting tweet and some followup comments (on coincidences & math):

8) Meanwhile, this week I had fun rambling around from language & gender HERE, to a couple of books HERE, and about cartoons and humor HERE.
…Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
1) A tweet (and comments) that may contain some interesting links:
2) Reporting on a conference on consciousness:
