How to read Mathematics? A study guide

Reading a math textbook isn't like reading a novel. You've probably already figured that out on your own. But how *do* you read mathematical texts? And how can you actually learn from a book or lectur...

“Sometimes there are computations that might take me half a day to psych myself up to do them, and then take me the other half of the day in order to do them,” said collaborator Zaher Hani on Fields Medalist Yu Deng. “He can do them in an hour or two.”

Good summary of where we are on signatures using post-quantum #cryptography from @cloudflare.social . Not sure the wish list is realistic --- I think we're probably still going to have to choose from a selection much like what's listed here! blog.cloudflare.com/ml-dsa-will-...

Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms

NIST is advancing nine new post-quantum signature algorithms as potential candidates for future standardization. We take a closer look at all of them, and argue that while they are in the works and sh...

Last week, with the good excuse of a 15 min lecture, I have discovered taxicab geometry. Very fun and surprising to say the least! So I took my chance to type down the lecture in my blog. I hope you enjoy www.mseri.me/the-geometry... #mathSky #eduSky

The Geometry of Bringing Your Kids to School

Geometry is among the anciest branches of mathematics. Ethymologically, it comes from the greek Ge (γῆ), Earth, and Metria (μετρία), measurement. It was literally born to measure lengths, something we...

« Craindre l’erreur et craindre la vérité est une seule et même chose. Celui qui craint de se tromper est impuissant à découvrir. C’est quand nous craignons de nous tromper que l’erreur qui est en nous se fait immutable comme un roc. », David Bessis, Mathematica, Éditions du Seuil, 2022, p. 86.
