Toby on Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games Column and His Books


On her Patreon she did another video making hexaflexagons.

Here's Destin's daughter explaining what hexaflaexagons are (and what maths actually is: it's where you can not figure out where something goes where and you try to figure it out!) :

Vi Hart seems to have deleted her main YouTube channel, (maybe because she works for Khan Academy or Microsoft?!) but her father still has one.

Here she is explaining how to fold 60 degree angles.

So that's the invitation that Janet was talking about, in the introduction to her maths book!:
 

9:19 "Open a door; see what you haven't before. Imagine a world unimaginable. From one door to the next, each holds within the unique possibility to, or not to exist. It could be an idea, or just empty space; something on which you have the power to create. .. A door is a second or a minute or a day; a lifetime, a memory, a page one turn away. An invitation for you to see each of these pages as a door. A door which when you open, you don't know what's going to be there or not. Don't write the book before you've read it!"
 

I know you are reading these words and I know you don't know where they lead, but I ask you trust me because I'm about to guide you in the adventure that you could never perceive. Let's begin the word math, ... we throw it out the window. "Out the window!" And we're going to use the word patterns. How often do you think about patterns?

A derivative is linearisation, and differential calculus is essentially linear algebra, ...  See  Freya Holmér - Why Can't You Multiply Vectors?  and  Freya Holmér on Continuity of Splines .

Alan Edelman talking about expressing mathematics as computer code. The idea is that you can use computer languages to communicate mathematical ideas precisely to other people.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
