Congratulations to Ken Clarkson and the rest of the newly-named SIAM Fellows (\(\mathbb{M}\))!
Richard Elwes on Numberphile talking about big numbers (\(\mathbb{M}\)). The twist: these ones are from many centuries ago, from Jain mathematicians. They got at least as far as tetration.
How wireless origami cushioning could improve logistics (\(\mathbb{M}\)), by providing shipping damage alerts in real time.
The long-predicted cleveref apocalypse is upon me (\(\mathbb{M}\)). For the most part it works to just replace
```
\usepackage[capitalize,nameinlink]{cleveref}
```
by
```
\usepackage{zref-clever}
\zcsetup{cap}
\let\cref\zcref
```
I have been using an “observation” theorem type, and for this I need to tell zref-clever what to call them:
```
\zcRefTypeSetup{observation}{Name-sg=Observation,Name-pl=Observations}
```
If you want to have different theorem types share the same numbers, things get more complicated. I haven’t needed that yet, but there’s guidance in Section 10.2 of the zref-clever user manual.
After a long-ish quiet period, quite a few new solutions to the no-three-in-line problem have been discovered this year (\(\mathbb{M}\)).
A medieval woman teaches geometry to a group of students (\(\mathbb{M}\)). From an early 14th-century manuscript of Euclid’s Elements. Sadly, most online sources make the sexist inference that a woman couldn’t possibly have been a geometry teacher then, and therefore that she must instead be a “personification of geometry”.
Deterministic primality testing for limited bit width (\(\mathbb{M}\)). Precomputing a small set of good bases gives a fast derandomization of the Miller–Rabin primality test.
The Music of the Spheres (\(\mathbb{M}\)), sequence from the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic strip, coauthored by Terry Tao, on what mathematicians do and the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics, as illustrated through the sphere packing problem.
Alison Martin folds a single sheet of paper into an umbilic torus (see also).
Cathedral building geometry basics: how to find the center of a circle with compass and straightedge (\(\mathbb{M}\)). It might not come as a surprise that people who repair stonework on old cathedrals with handheld chisels and hand-poured molten lead (the rest of the content on this YouTube channel) might also prefer to make their architectural drawings and templates by hand instead of with a CAD system.
Tariq asks: What do people recommend for publication quality plots of mathematical functions?
Many sequences in OEIS come from various real-world applications. Jeremy Kun looks for the opposite: open-source code that has applied OEIS sequences in unusual ways (\(\mathbb{M}\)). These include music synthesis, pen tool size settings, and geocaching.
Through a new Wikipedia article I learn that Uruguay has a museum devoted to origami (\(\mathbb{M}\)), claimed to be the only one in the Americas.
Cats on a lintel (\(\mathbb{M}\)):
