Citation de James Byrnie Shaw : "Partout où une hypothèse est posée et des conclusions déduites, les mathématiques sont à l'œuvre. Partout où le scientifique va au-delà des faits observés, en introduisant des concepts tels que énergie, champ [...], il devient un mathématicien. Les mathématiques sont un mode de pensée fondamental, impossible à éluder."

Quote from James Byrnie Shaw : "Wherever a hypothesis is set up and conclusions deduced from it, mathematics is at work. Wherever the scientist goes beyond his observed facts, introducing concepts such as energy, field [...], he is becoming a mathematician. Mathematics is a fundamental mode of thinking, impossible to evade."

A while ago, I wrote about Welter's game: a simple combinatorial game where two players take turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. It has some curious connections to coding theory, but for our purposes, it's just a little game to play over the holiday.
However, the game […]

Alexander Grothendieck (1928 - 2014) in 1970
Today is Alexander Grothendieck's birthday!
He's probably the most important mathematician of the 20th century, but sadly enough almost completely unknown to the general public

On the right, a cartoon self-similar image - a picture of a room with a small pic of that room on a wall. On the left, the log of that image: every circular path within the image is mapped onto a straight line. Squares in the original image look like scalloped lines.

I've updated my dice problem collection with a new problem (#29 of the now 83 problems).
The question is: how many times, on average, do we need to roll a die, multiplying the results, until we reach a perfect square? So we might roll a 1 or 4 and be immediately square. Or we might roll […]
