We've had some incredible results in our mathematical modeling program this year, The latest: A team of three of our high school students won the Mathematical Association of America award for their submission to the university-level Mathematical Contest in Modeling run by COMAP! They were one of 18 teams out of 12,000 worldwide to earn an "Outstanding" designation for their mathematical projection of Olympic medal counts for the 2028 games.

Had to step in and remediate two faulty questions on my son's #Geometry homework tonight. Note to the "Teachers Pay Teachers" worksheet author: A regular octagon does not have 4 lines of symmetry.

Note: Thanks to @danielmclaury for pointing out I should have specified that it was a regular octagon on the homework handout.

Just got my author copies of Python for Mathematics! (https://www.routledge.com/Python-for-Mathematics/Knight/p/book/9781032582184)

The book flips the usual programming order—starting with powerful maths tools before diving into code.

The publishers worked with me to agree to keep an online version available too: https://vknight.org/pfm/cover.html (This version needs updating!)

You can find some of my thoughts on how the book is structured here: https://vknight.org/2025/05/19/python-for-mathematics-book.html

More updates soon. 💻📘
