MATH FOR LOVE
http://mathforlove.tumblr.com/
Daniel Finkel brings us this blog "... about math, creativity,
culture, education, and beauty. It's for everyone." The most
recent posts have focused on self-referential humor and
mathematics; older posts have included:
- the joys of pattern blocks
- an aspect of probability applied to forest fires
- an anecdote from a highly successful unorthodox school
- "From Problem to Question to Proof to Problem"
