Happy Birthday Emmy Noether!!
She made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She proved Noether's 1st and 2nd theorems, which are fundamental in mathematical physics. She developed theories of rings, fields, & algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry & conservation laws.
Hey #MathEducation people,
I remember some time ago reading how optimal outcomes for understanding and conceptual learning in mathematics happened when the students were in control of the pacing of the learning, but the teacher still chose and sequenced the content.
Now I need to find this research again because a bunch of parents are giving my fellow teacher grief for “Not finishing the textbook” in yr 7 mathematics!
Can anyone help me find this? (Boosts welcome)

Happy #PiDay!
Fun fact: OEIS sequence A057680 highlights "Self-locating strings within pi: numbers n such that the string n is at position n in the decimal digits of Pi, where the initial digit 3 is at position 0":
For example, the number 1 occurs at the first position of pi (after the "3.") then the next number to do this is 16470 which occurs at the 16470th position of pi (though it occurs earlier at the 1602nd position)!

Mein Mondphasenrechner https://www.thomasweibel.ch/meton/ zeigt, wie sich ein antikes astronomisches Konzept visualisieren und am Ende, dank Open-Source-Software und 3D-Drucker, gar in einen physischen Rechner verwandeln lässt. Einmal Antike retour: Am 17. Mai sind meine Mondrechner und ich zu Gast am Open Education Day in Bern.

On #PiDay, March 14, #Monterey Public Library is hosting a free screening, for teens and adults, of #CountedOut, 4-6PM. Registration required. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/monterey-public-library-counted-out-film-screening-tickets-1200335207919?aff=oddtdtcreator BTW, we won’t be surprised if @Schlining ("Turning the beauty, complexity, and wonder of the deep-sea into long strings of ones and zeros”) is among those present.
Other #MontereyCounty screenings include March 13 at #CSUMB.
From trailer: “How is it that we can use math to understand the world, and also change the world?” …“Did you know that if you insert a single statistic into an assertion, people are 92% more likely to accept it without question?”
