"My methods are really methods of working and thinking; this is why they have crept in everywhere anonymously."

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":

oeis.org/A057680

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)!

"Ultimately it’s a film that poses a question fundamental to #democracy: if we can’t understand a system that governs us, how much power do we actually have?"

List of screenings throughout USA: countedoutfilm.com/screenings

On #PiDay, March 14, #Monterey Public Library is hosting a free screening, for teens and adults, of #CountedOut, 4-6PM. Registration required. eventbrite.com/e/monterey-publ 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?”

Counted Out, from filmmaker Vicki Abeles of #RaceToNowhere.

Counted OutCounted OutCounted Out is a math documentary that investigates the biggest crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequity, a global pandemic, and climate change—through an unexpected lens: math.

'The Colorado Department of Education released a suite of free K-12 resources to support educators and families with math instruction. The CDE Math Intervention Resources were co-created with 18 math teachers from 12 Colorado school districts and four institutions of higher learning and the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics (CCTM).

Hello #fediverse #introduction

I'm Michael, professor in the institutes of #mathematics and #materials science and head of the @MatMat group at #EPFL.

I work on the #atomistic simulations of materials, mainly density-functional theory (DFT) methods, understanding #simulation errors and #uncertainties in predicted materials properties.

I use techniques from
#physics #computerscience #machinelearning and
develop related #julialang packages such as the density-functional toolkit (#dftk).
