I haven't been very active here for several months, because I've been working on a new book. Soon I will be able to tell you about it. Is anyone out there interested?

Stanley Kubrick gave an interview to Playboy Magazine after the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey. They asked him about chess, knowing that as a young man he spent countless hours in Washington Square Park playing compulsively - from noon to midnight. Here is what Kubrick said:

Three powerful insights, from the author of the best-selling book RANGE (which is wonderful, by the way).

The Joy of x: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity is featured today on @eBookDaily ! It's a great deal, if you were thinking of buying it, or giving it as a gift. https://t.co/NsaDuG1aDn

I photographed @KarlDeisseroth and @michelle_monje in Michelle’s office at @Stanford. Between them on the table is her PhD notebook, opened to a page from the period when they were actively collaborating on her doctoral research. It is an artifact in the truest sense. A working

Professor Terence Tao analyzes how Erdős Problem 1026 was solved "through an interesting combination of existing literature, online collaboration, and AI tools." The conjecture was first proven in Lean using @HarmonicMath's Aristotle. Further patterns discovered via

I've decided to start teaching full mathematical series on my YT channel! The first video in the series 'An Introduction to Mathematical Proofs' is now live! I've previously only ever explained mathematical ideas in one video at a time but this has been requested by so many of

My @TheAtlantic piece on the emerging new "Physics of Life". Complexity science, information theory, network theory... a whole new trans-disciplinary way of asking an ancient question. https://t.co/DQS331dHbt

Terrific article by @AdamFrank4 on complex systems, self-organization, and the physics of life.

"Why did they invent reading? “Brief Hours and Weeks: My Life as a Capetonian” would almost be reason enough …" My book recommended in today's WSJ https://t.co/L71FznFpEp

Do LLMs really understand? To cut through the noise around AI, we brought in two experts shaping the field: Yann LeCun (@ylecun) and Adam Brown of @GoogleDeepMind. Watch them in conversation with @JannaLevin about the true intelligence of artificial minds. https://t.co/LnzQGPUIwA

Does the number of people following you grow linearly in time, or exponentially? Manil Suri examines this on Substack: https://t.co/fCp6jtnbtJ

1/ The Collatz conjecture has humbled mathematicians for near 90 years. Paul Erdös said "mathematics is not yet ready for such problems." 🧵 So we handed it to transformers. What they learned stunned us! New research from Axiom's math discovery team, blog live this morning.

Even before his distinguished lecture, Steven Strogatz @stevenstrogatz was mobbed by fans. Anyone seeking insight into the nature of synchronization, why it matters, and what we have yet to uncover, check out Steven's research program. (The line only grew after the lecture!)

Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens have a new show! 🤩

زندگی جالبه. قبل از ساعت کلاس، تو کلاس نشستی و منتظری تا استاد بیاد سر کلاس و توییتر چک می‌کنی، که توییت نویسنده کتابی که قراره استادت ازش درس بده رو می‌بینی. جالب.

Wow! Thanks everybody! These are very encouraging responses – I can't wait to share more news with you soon!

taught my students how to analyze chaotic dynamics via the geometric lorenz attractor this week... such a beautiful branched surface...
