Mum (to two young adult women), mathematician, fibre artist, semi-retired (!!). Living on the lands of the Kulin nations. Author of "A Stitch in Line: Mathematics and One-Stitch Sashiko"
The website for the 2026 Bridges Conference Exhibition of Mathematical Art, Craft, and Design is now live, featuring the work of more than 150 artists. gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/...
The proceedings and the gallery for the exhibition of the Bridges Mathematics and the Arts conference are released. (This is when one starts to get an idea of who will be there - lots of fun!)
Ms 19 and I took the chance to further our joint enjoyment of silo art by tracking down this off-trail singleton in Geelong.
It's World Wide Knit in Public Day, and I joined a small gathering at my local op shop, which hosts a knitting group.
Last year, I made feijoa jam with my father’s large crop. There was a lot of peeling. This year someone else gave me 1.5 kg of small feijoas, so I made a skin-on chutney. Couple of hours in the slow cooker, finished on the stove.
I'm on the hunt for a reference cited in a paper that is about 10 years old, and the author hasn't been super careful about details. When I'm editing, I know authors get frustrated that I check all their page numbers etc. I protect your future reader from my current level of frustration!
Days like this, I miss Mum the most. (Family wedding.)
New xor pattern generalization dropped! For each pixel (x|y) write x and y in base 3, then add the corresponding digits of x and y mod 3. Here we have purple for f(x,y)%4==0 #mathsky
Son in law not being asked to take family photos in future…but such a proud day.
It’s April 30 (in this time zone). Martin, Kerry and I have been working with authors on their submissions for the Bridges conference and the editing is (nearly) done. @msmathcomp.bsky.social
Lovely day with Ms 19 seeing part of the zoo that we had not been to before.
It's Anzac Day in Australia. (Think something like Remembrance Day/Armistice Day, although we mark that as well.) One of my favourite mathematics movies is on TV today - Dam Busters. Come for the music, stay for the maths.
Quick trip to the zoo with Ms 18. This lady was putting on quite a show with rolling and roaring.
D3 symmetry in a kitchen sink (probably original to the house which was built in the seventies). My parents’ home but not the one I grew up in.
Full article: More than just playing: investigating teacher-student interactions in game-based mathematics lessons www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Just appeared online recently. Games are widely used in mathematics lessons...but how does what the teacher does enhance the learning from a game?
More than just playing: investigating teacher-student interactions in game-based mathematics lessons
Mathematical games are widely used in primary classrooms, but their potential to foster reasoning depends not just on game design but on how teachers frame and facilitate mathematical dialogue. Thi...

I think I have a proof of something for a paper I have been writing. However, this is the third time that I’ve thought this, so I’m more hopeful than triumphant.
