Some articles from the world of math worth checking out:

  • Matheminecraft: Where math and Minecraft meet
    • “Mathematician David Strütt, a scientific collaborator at EPFL, worked for four months to develop Matheminecraft, a math video game in Minecraft”
  • Those Damn Denominators
    • “Life is messy. Numbers are neat. Or so I’ve liked to think. Math has been a comfort zone in times of confusion, a way to pick out signals in the noise, see patterns in chaos. At the least, it could provide a sense of boundaries, scaffolding, a handhold. With a little help from math, we can begin to grasp even concepts we’ll never really grok.”

The answers for the 3rd round of problems of the week are now online! What cool problems! The 4th round of problems will be sent out soon!
