Pourquoi les mathématiciens s’accrochent-ils à leur craie et à leur tableau noir ?

Happy #piday2024! Das diesjährige #idm314 Motto ist "Spiele mit Mathematik" - das ist doch eine gute Gelegenheit, bei meinem Spiel "Hilbert's Holidays" reinzuschauen und ein bisschen Spaß mit Mathe zu haben!

Why is Pi the only mathematical concept that gets its own day (March 14)?
@TheConversationUS argues "other numbers also deserve their own math holidays."
Lu Da's staff weights "60 jin". A Jin is a little more than a US pound, so it's about 54.5 pounds. Which seems heavy as fuck for a staff.
A modern Chinese Gun (Staff) is six feet long and an unspecified on Wikipedia thickness. At an inch thick, a six foot oak staff would be like, 2 pounds. Even an inch thick staff of pure lead (the most common "really heavy, yet fashionable" thing I can think of,) would only be 23 pounds.
Now, given this is wuxia, so fantasy, and I don't know what kinds of metals were available during the Song dynasty, it could be something fantastic rather than real, but were it real, it might be an inch and a half lead core with a quarter inch of iron around that for support.
That is fucking big.
Listened to parts of this on the trip into town. Really cool, and I think I'm going to check out the book.

At least 40 universities in Japan have implemented a quota system for female applicants in fields related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) — an area with a low percentage of women in the country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/08/japan/society/college-female-quota/ #japan #society #science #women039sissues #tech #math #universities #education
Still on the 'draw a fractal inside another fractal' thing. This is a julia set drawn inside something not entirely unlike a multibrot. Looking spookily organic.
