Hello everyone, it is the next Carnival of Mathematics featuring blogs from the month of May 2025. I’m always happy when I get a chance to host. Though, my own blog hasn’t updated for awhile due to life circumstances. Which I think people can understand. I would like to write at least one piece this month. We will see what happens.
Now, on to this month’s Carnival.
Carnival of Mathematics #240
Here is what people sent in.
- This question on the Mathematics Stack Exchange was submitted. It answers a discovery about logs and repeating decimals.
- This blog from The Pudding discusses the birthday effect. Read on to find out what that means.
- This post from Grégoire Locqueville talks about something that I have seen a lot online. I think there was even a Numberphile about it.
- This year Mathematician Masaki Kashiwara was awarded the Abel Prize. This blog is about his work in representation theory.
- We have two posts from John D. Cook.
- This one about stacking cannonballs.
- And this one on exponent and log notation.
- This article talks about some interesting statistics of flipping a coin. I love the title, “How to unflip a coin”.
- Fractal Kitty has started a new series on guided inquiries in mathematics. The first one discusses overlapping circles.
- This post is in memoriam of Mario Biagioli who recently passed.
- This quiz was developed for International Women in Mathematics day. Do you know the answers?
- This post from Josh Millard was submitted all about 5x5 nonograms.
That’s all for this edition. Next month is being hosted by the Aperiodical. You submit your blogs for the Carnival of Mathematics 241 there.
