Wasn’t sure if I would or wouldn’t compile a potpourri this week, but in the end (and with NO collusion, mind you, NONE, noooo collusion whatsoever) here it is:
1) “The biggest skill to learn moving forward…” (h/t Gary Davis):
2) A maddening puzzle passed along by Lior Pachter this week:
3) A checklist of statistical problems (to avoid) for researchers (h/t Frank Harrell):
4) A “Commencement Address” from Joe Schwartz:
5) Pillows, knitting, and mathematics:
6) An intro to Brouwer constructivism in 2 pieces from plus Magazine:
7) A little history of zero and the empty set:

8) The semi-finals of the Big Internet Math Off have been appropriately close with Nira Chamberlain winning a nail-biter, and voting continuing in the final pairing:

9) Also, be sure to check out a few additional links I posted at Math-Frolic yesterday:
…Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
1) A rare, negative review of Douglas Hofstadter’s “Gödel, Escher, Bach”:
2) Tom Toles' Twitter feed:
