Prime numbers, the building blocks of mathematics, have fascinated for centuries − now technology is revolutionizing the search for them

Today, people use complex computing networks to search for prime numbers with millions of digits. But early mathematicians were running these calculations by hand.

"Jahrelang hatte die #Mathematik an der #HochschuleRheinMain gute Einschreibezahlen. Jetzt soll sie aus undurchsichtigen Gründen eingestellt werden, drei Professoren wehren sich."

Wir brauchen mehr Mathematik, nicht weniger!

Cheers @rzeta0, was this the book about proofs you have been reading? Or is it another one?

So weird:
it looks like English …
and yet ... 😶

"In 1976, Loupekine introduced … a very general way of constructing new snarks from old snarks by cyclically connecting multipoles constructed by pulling out a path of length 2 from smaller snarks. In this paper, we use … lifts of voltage graphs formed by a similar construction to produce a variety of snarks which can be drawn with m-fold rotational symmetry for m≥3."

Attached: 1 image Here's a link to a recent paper, "Rotationally symmetric snarks from voltage graphs" -- it was quite a saga getting it published, but it's great to see it in print! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.disc.2024.113874

The "Just One More" Paradox

A quasi-isometry between metric spaces is a function which is "almost" distance-preserving and "almost" surjective.

I'm not going to write down the precise definition of a quasi-isometry. I'll just tell you coarsely what it is.

Yes, all my jokes are that bad.

@spectralsoul Missed chance to call it #Mathodon instead. :D
