Besides US bigtech, Huawei is hiring countless top #mathematicians in Europe. Why are the global European players too blind to see that true innovation will be driven from the foundational level, not just from applied engineering? So much talent here, but so little ambition in corporate strategy.

As a mathematically not-so-sophisticated #EE/#CS bloke, I sometimes wonder whether those bona fide #mathematicians and #physicists (or those EE/CS folks who had attained such heights of mathematical sophistication) view me as a "maths carpenter".

Oh hey, hang on there. There's nothing wrong with being a carpenter or a mason; these callings predate mathematics and physics by several millennia. They kick-started the human civilisation, and they continue to grow it. Still, I wonder....

I know that there is quite some #mathematicians and friends of #mathematics here. Maybe one of you can point me toward a short(ish) youtube video that teaches the very basics of set theory?

So good to see liberal America standing up to the Trumpian threat today. A strange thing happened to me as I followed the topical posts.

Each time I saw the #HandsOff hashtag, what my brain read instead was #Hausdorff, for Felix Hausdorff, the eminent mathematician.

To my shame, I knew nothing about Felix Hausdorff the man. To me as a former Berliner and an emigree to England, Hausdorff sounded like an East Prussian landed-gentry name, I expected a Junker. Wrong. Today I learnt that Felix Hausdorff was in fact Jewish. He, his wife and his sister in law escaped the death camps by suicide, in 1942. (His daughter Lenore survived.) I never knew.

So there really is a hidden connection between today's encouraging #HandsOff news and Felix Hausdorff, the great thinker who was exposed to the same evil of unchecked state power that threatens us today, and against which today's protests took a stance.

Happy birthday to one of greatest #mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front of a blackboard with a more simple formulation of her theorem and three specific applications of it, shown schematically, 1/

Happy #Nowruz to all who celebrate. Makes much more sense to me to celebrate the #NewYear at the beginning of spring on an astronomically significant day rather than on some odd, astronomically insignificant day in mid-winter. I mean, what’s up with that anyway? So to celebrate Nowruz, which BTW is observed by an enormous population including in Iran, Central and South Asia, I’m posting a short video memorial to one of the greatest #mathematicians ever, who happened to be an #Iranian woman, Maryam Mirzakhani. The first woman to win the Field’s Prize, math’s equivalent to the Nobel, Mirzakhani broke barriers and forever changed her chosen field. A Harvard graduate and former professor at both Princeton and Stanford, she deserves more attention than she gets. Regrettably, she died far too young at 40. May the new year bring us more genius minds like hers. #math #mathematics #STEM #WomenInSTEM #science

“Currently years into the development of the #TopologicalQubit, the journey began with a single question, “Could a topological qubit be achieved”?

Working with theory as a starting point, #Microsoft brought together #mathematicians, #ComputerScientists, #physicists, and #engineers to explore possible approaches.

These experts collaborated, discussed methods, and completed countless equations to take the first steps on the path toward realizing a topological #qubit.”

Just a little under a month left to apply for our International Visitor Program (until 18 Feb)- open to #mathematicians in all fields. Our visitor program allows you to spend time in a collaborative, creative research environment in Sydney. More details: https://bit.ly/3XqOxxK

Bruh, it's \(j\), not \(i\):

\[
X(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x(t) e^{-jwt}\ dt

This is what we #ElectricalEngineers say, when we're looking for a fight. This inevitably ends in us getting smacked down by muscular #Mathematicians and pumped #Physicists, but ya know....

Thoughtful and moving piece about the later life of the great mathematician Alexander Grothendieck.

A complex and troubled life, empathetically and intelligently reconstructed by writer Phil Hoad. We meet Grothendieck's family and fellow mathematiciens. Deeply insightful.

I usually enjoy the "long read" articles you sometimes find in the weekend papers. This is Long Read at its best.

"Our analysis confirms the existence of a significant gender gap in the mathematical community: in all areas explored by the Global Survey of Scientists, women mathematicians’ experience is consistently less positive than that of men mathematicians."
