Since the 12th century, Japanese carpenters have created perfect-fitting wooden joints without nails or glue. These techniques have helped wooden structures stand for over a thousand years! 🪵🧩

Watch Dylan Iwakuni demonstrate six beautiful connections including dovetail and gooseneck joints—each showcasing a marriage of #mathematics, #engineering, and patient craftsmanship.

"In the Intellectual Mathematics approach the essence of the teacher’s role is inspiration, and the goal of teaching is to stimulate thought and reflection. The teacher disavows the notion that he has the right to boss people around. Instead he considers it his responsibility to nourish in the students a desire to pursue their studies out of their own intrinsic motivation and interest."

Many congratulations to Susanna Heikkilä from the University of Helsinki 💐👏🏻

She "has made a significant breakthrough in topology, a branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and shapes of geometric surfaces. One of the articles from her doctoral thesis has been accepted for publication in the Annals of Mathematics, one of the most prestigious journals in the field. [...]
The main result of my doctoral thesis complements the answer to Gromov’s question, as the result can be used to classify closed simply connected four-dimensional manifolds for which there is a quasiregular mapping from a Euclidean space,” says Postdoctoral Researcher Susanna Heikkilä.""

Happy Birthday Emmy Noether!!

She made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She proved Noether's 1st and 2nd theorems, which are fundamental in mathematical physics. She developed theories of rings, fields, & algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry & conservation laws.

@RickiTarr I kinda think of multiplication as addition by steps. For example, look at 9 and watch the last digit of the product:

9x1=9
9x2=18
9x3=27
9x4=36

9, 8, 7, 6: last digit decrements by one. There's a pattern to it. You gotta see the pattern. Similarly the others, but different patterns.

But the way they teach it -- meh. Memorize this, they say. Could be more interesting. Could be a puzzle hunt, looking for that pattern.

@SocraticEthics The #BrainDrain from #Hungary to the #UnitedStates during #WorldWar2 and the following #ColdWar catapulted #American #Mathematics and #ComputerScience (John Von Neumann…), #Chemistry (George Olah…), #Nuclear #Physics (Leo Szilard…) to become the undisputed world leader in #science and #technology.

That brain drain resulted in the Russia-aligned country full of morons that you see today.

#DonaldTheDeplorable is also a #Putin puppet and starting a brain drain FROM here.
