When you think about it, "fly like an eagle" isn't really true. Beyond the wings, they don't have much in common.

This Japanese copy of The Mathematicians' Library is winging its way to a school in Grantham to play a part in rekindling an international exchange programme disrupted by the covid pandemic. I'd say that was a good cause! I've still got 1 copy each in […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

I've got some stock and a mountain of Sharpies that just won't quit, so if anyone'd like to furnish the discerning bookish history nerd in their life with a chunky tome that focuses on that stuff that all the other history books seem to miss out, now's your chance! #Books #History #Maths

If two people discussing the place of #history (& #museums) in #maths education is your bag, you'll like Episode 4 of the @tmip.bsky.social podcast. @peterrowlett & I take the middle segment, sandwiched between one about the #CityOfMaths project & another about running a @MathsJam […]

How the hell is it October already?

Five regular octahedra don't quite make a ring.

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@TeaKayB/111959086526017942 I think about this short thread often and when I dig it out again I'm always disappointed that it received such little love.

Would you be able to put a FREE Japanese language edition of The Mathematicians' Library to good use? I'll send it out to the first person who gives me a good reason why they should have it, and I'll even cover postage (anywhere the UK). The Polish version […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@TeaKayB/117336808723747844 My Polish language copy of *The Mathematicians' Library* will soon be winging its way to a school in Leicestershire because a maths teacher thought it'd be great for some of their students with Polish […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

I've got one copy of *The Mathematicians' Library* to give away in each of four languages: Polish, German, Japanese, and Spanish. I'm offering them for free (including UK postage) & I'd like them to go somewhere that'd make good use of them. If you think […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Today's main procrastinatory device was adding a page for Euclid's Elements to The Stack: https://library.mathsy.space/books/euclid-elements.html #MathsToday #History #Maths #Books

This week in #TenuousAppearances, I notice that the back of my head is visible in a photo on page 5 of the June 2026 issue of @cilip.bsky.social RPG's Post-Lib journal […]

Today I've been mostly doing some maths communication stuff at the @rafmuseum in Cosford's Forces in STEM event, supporting the IMA 's stand. If you're wondering why that ball is hovering there... blame it on Bernoulli. #MathsToday

"There's a clear double standard at play here. Marjorie Rice spends all of her free time working on a maths problem and she's feted as a hero of recreational maths. *I* do it, I'm 'ruining Christmas.'"

I thoroughly enjoyed my stint as @PseudoRandomEnsemble 's sound tech at #MathsWorld last night. They sounded GREAT despite my best efforts! #Maths #Music #MathsToday

I LIKE THE POPE THE POPE'S GOT NOTES ON POLYTOPES This is going to be stuck in my head for the next few days AGAIN because I've seen @PseudoRandomEnsemble play AGAIN and they were brilliant AGAIN.

"We're sorry you experienced our Terrible Service. Here's a refund in the form of a voucher that can only be spent on more of our Terrible Service." No.

Today in "where's Tommy‽" - I'm in London for tonight's @PseudoRandomEnsemble gig at Maths World. - I've taken the opportunity to pick up one of a few boxes of books (*The Mathematicians' Library*, of course) I left at the Royal Institution. If anyone wants a signed copy and is in Central […]

Does anyone know where my Crybaby pedal is? I haven't seen it in years, but I'm pretty sure things just can't pop out of existence.

And if you want to hear the @PseudoRandomEnsemble play a song about Marjorie Rice, you should come to MathsWorld on Monday: https://mathsworld.com/events/PseudorandomEnsemble

This advert ran next to the Martin Gardner article about pentagonal tilings that inspired Marjorie Rice.

They said the investment was rated AAAY But it turned out to be a Fonzie scheme.

Hey, you! Give this a 'like' if you're coming, and whether you're coming or not a repost would be a great way to show your support!

For the last three days I've been at the @gem.org.uk conference at #BletchleyPark. As always, it was brilliant, interesting, inspiring, and massively tiring. Following a big sleep, my mind was still whirring and I've written up some thoughts: https://tommaths.blogspot.com/ #Maths #Museums […]

To my #maths #teacher friends who are also on #LinkedIn, can I ask a favour? My cousin's started a PGCE & I've been telling him the best CPD I've had has not been through the schools I've worked at, but through fantastic people I've met at dedicated maths teacher events. Introduce yourselves?
