Asian Carnival

Via Asia, Zac brings us the 20th Carnival of Mathematics. Thus he has numbered the entries using Chinese & Devanagari (Hindi) characters (and here I thought that was “equals plus”). Lots of nice stuff included. The carnival led me to a new (well, new for me) math ed blog, Matt-a-matical Thinking.

There is also an interesting conjecture by Andy, which may be the first CoM submission by a high school student. I think I may have mentioned him before, darn kids these days (shaking her head). Well, at least he’s not out setting things on fire creating chemical reactions on Halloween. Oh wait, he was. (still shaking her head).

Spam, spam, spam, eggs, spam, spam, and …math?

The 19th Carnival of Mathematics is up over at Good Math, Bad Math. Apparently MarkCC has been inundated with spam along with carnival submissions. I hope there weren’t any Vikings.

This submission just reinforced my belief that we need a meaningful math curriculum.

Carnival of Mathematics #18

The 18th Carnival of Mathematics is up at JD2718. Outstanding work by Jonathan in assembling a nice variety of posts (52 topics by 49 different authors). Good thing I have no school on Monday, so I’ll have time to play with some of the questions to which Jonathan has linked (I don’t think I should bring them to the Homecoming Dance tonight). Anyway, have fun at the Carnival!

17th Carnival of Mathematics

The 17th Carnival of Mathematics is up at Math Notations. Dave provides a lead in with some interesting facts about the number 17 — which reminded me of this site on 17 and yellow pigs. JD’s post about the carnival has led to Beatles songs running through my head –at least it wasn’t titled “My Little Rock & Roll Queen”. Anyway, head on over to the carnival!
