  2. A variety (DOZENS!) of freshly written Math Mammoth reviews for you!

    Here are a few in particular that I want to feature:

2. Looking back: Ten years ago

In my newsletter 10 years ago...

In case you're interested, you can find the old (and new) newsletters at www.mathmammoth.com/newsletter/.

3. This is fun... but is it really math?


I want to do this triangle activity with my kids! Math and art together is always neat. :)


4. US vs. UK

I enjoyed this article... differences between US and British English when it comes to MATH terminology! The author is taking it humorously though sometimes it's a struggle for people who have to switch over from one to the other. :)

5. See how varied mathematics really is?

This is a neat video showing the various areas of mathematics, including both theoretical and applied. It can be eye-opening to children and students, who may think that all math is, is just numbers and calculations. It goes SO much deeper than that!

I just got a tiny glimpse of some of those domains of math in university (such as complex analysis, measure theory, and game theory) — and they are fascinating!



The entire field of mathematics summarized in a single map! This shows how pure mathematics and applied mathematics relate to each other and all of the sub-topics they are made from.

Here's also a still image for you to download.



Thanks for reading! :)
