What is a manifold? A brief, intuitive explanation:

The lecture (IHES) ''L'œuvre d'Alexandre Grothendieck by Pierre Deligne (French with English subtitles)'' is a fantastic presentation on the work of Grothendieck by the legendary Pierre Deligne. Too few of these lectures (in French) on Grothendieck's work have been translated for an international audience! At least, this one is! Check it out! 🔗👇👇

@donaldjewkes this is so cool!! looking forward to seeing the final thing

got to sit down and talk to the team behind jmail incredible story of how a weekend project became load bearing software in one of the biggest scandals in history documentary coming soon, support their work below

My incredibly brilliant friend @lehannahle has been doing some very cool work in benchmarking for bio frontier models- check it out here!!

@donaldjewkes @physical_int so excited for you, congrats!!

life update: O1 visa approved to work on storytelling and technology in san francisco my first project was helping @physical_int translate their long-horizon RL research to film we pulled this together in a week, in no small part because of the unlimited robot espresso

@divya_venn beautiful!

Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man. And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for this is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.

@divya_venn <3 divya you're the best, thanks for the shoutout!

If you’re even SLIGHTLY interested in mathematics go watch ⁦@00aleph00⁩ videos RIGHT NOW. They’re some of the most beautiful breakdowns of advanced math I’ve seen on the internet, the passion project of a gentle genius who dreams abstract math

@divya_venn looking forward to this!

What I had essentially failed in doing was making this girl feel like I was on her side. There are general first principles to making people unfairly biased in your favor, and there is etiquette particular to girls. Not to all girls, obviously, or I wouldn’t have had to write this autistic-ass essay, but to female social structures, which have their particular norms and methods of warfare. This essay is a compilation of my clumsy notes on how to make women feel irrationally good about you, the mechanisms of which can seem very opaque if you are male-brained, neurodivergent, or poorly socialized (unfortunately I have been described, at various points, as all three). Contrary to the title (it was catchy, sorry) a lot of this advice is applicable to men. In fact, a good chunk of it was taught to me *by* men, who started intentionally learning how to understand and appease women much earlier in life than I did.

if you'd like to see more recommendations, let me know and I'll include a part 2!

4. linear algebra I really like "Linear algebra done right" by Sheldon Axler. It focuses on vector spaces and linear transformations, without relying heavily on determinants. 5/n

My favorite books to self study pure math!! When I was in undergrad, I spent a lot of time self-studying pure math. But I wasted a lot of time because I didn't have a roadmap. So here's a list of my favorite books, videos, and problem sets that you can use to self-study many of the key topics in undergrad-level math: a 🧵 1/n

A few years ago, I learned a theorem about prime numbers called "Brun's Theorem". It was one of those theorems that makes you look and think: *how could anyone even begin to prove this?* I knew in that moment that I had to make a video about it. But as I started writing the script, I quickly learned that I had bitten off more than I could chew. The proof was too technical. The topic required too many prerequisites. The theorem simply wasn't "youtube explainable". So I let it sit on the backburner. It wasn't until just a few months ago when I revisited the topic that I realized -- hey, I think I'll give this a shot. And I'm excited to say that this video is finally out! Check out the yo*tube link below:

I explained this (and much more!) in a new video on the twin prime conjecture. check it out here!! youtube.com/watch?v=egA9K_…

Here's a fun brain-teaser. I found the answer quite surprising: how do you think the primes are distributed as you move along the number line?

@Mathinity_ congrats! this looks super cool.

Lectures on popular math are hard to pull off, but extremely satisfying when down right. And I just had an opportunity to give one as Mathinity. How cool is that! 🧵[1/3]

Please donate (tax-deductible) here: give.rutgersfoundation.org/math-corps/100… As I’ve mentioned before, starting the Rutgers branch of the Math Corps summer camp has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The Math Corps is a transformative free summer program that empowers middle school students from struggling school districts (like New Brunswick) through mathematics education, mentorship, and character development. It has been running for over 30 years in Detroit, and the Rutgers branch opened in 2024. We create a supportive and loving environment where students can unlock their potential, build self-confidence, and develop the skills necessary to succeed in school and beyond. Now it’s time for me to ask for your help to continue the program. For our first two years, we were funded by my NSF grant, and that funding has run out. We now need to quickly raise $5K to unlock a path towards the remaining $120K (our cost is extremely low: ~$1000 per student for the month of the program). Every dollar donated means more kids getting the opportunity to solidify their math (and life!) skills. Gifts of all sizes ($10, $100, $1000, …) are very welcome and appreciated! Also please help us spread the word. Many thanks in advance for your support!
