Marcel Fröhlich<p>Besides US bigtech, Huawei is hiring countless top <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23mathematicians" target="_blank">#mathematicians</a> 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.</p>

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....

Nice challenge. Books about mathematical thinking and about mathematicians.
GH Hardy: A mathematician's apology.
H Grassmann: Space needs no grid.
Fibonacci: The book of calculation.
EI Fredholm: Right angles are everywhere.
JE Littlewood: A mathematician's miscellany.
PR Halmos: I want to be a mathematician.
CF Gauss: My life in mathematics and why you needn't bother.
[OK, three of these I made up, and one is I guess a textbook.]
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.

Update. "We show that dropout rates of #mathematicians after their postdoctoral stage, which used to be higher for women, are converging on similar figures for both genders…[But] a non-negligible number of the prestigious mathematical journals…show a meager representation of women among their authors…and exhibit no signs of turnaround over the last couple of decades."

"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."

What is it that stops #mathematicians from speaking up about things they'd like to work on?
