I wrote a kid-friendly summary of The Beginning of Infinity, by David Deutsch. It's 199 simple words:

This Grothendieck quote is the best-kept secret about mathematics: Always start with your naive intuition, even if it’s plainly dumb, and then refine it by asking a barrage of “stupid” questions. Waiting in silence until you “get it right” will only lead to paralysis.

🚀 Big things happening at U-M CSE’s Theory of Computation Lab! From just 5 faculty a decade ago, the lab has rapidly expanded, reflecting the growing importance of theoretical research in computer science. 📖 Read more: cse-report.engin.umich.edu/2024/10/25/the… #Theory #UMCSE #UMich

From our friends at Berkeley Math

This thread is very much worth reading. It describes quite well the level of o3-mini. I still can't believe that we live in a world with such Artificial Intelligence ... Progress is happening really fast.

I'm organizing a DIMACS workshop titled "Hardness of Approximation in P," which will take place from July 21-23, 2025. The workshop webpage is available dmac.rutgers.edu/events/details…. Registration is free but required. Additionally, limited funding is available for students.

STOC 2025 accepted papers. A whopping 219 papers accepted from 735 submissions. acm-stoc.org/stoc2025/accep… Conference in Prague June 23-27. acm-stoc.org/stoc2025

Science is the engine behind American prosperity. Government funded research led to many of the breakthroughs we use today in AI. AI may well supercharge scientific productivity and the way to take advantage of it is to increase investment in scientific research. Unfortunately

I am grateful to be awarded the Sloan Research Fellowship! Deep appreciation to my mentors, students, and colleagues for their guidance and support — this wouldn’t be possible without you. news.engin.umich.edu/2025/02/two-mi…

In the late 2000s, computer scientist Stephen Cook (left) bet $100 that it was impossible to use the same piece of memory for storage and calculations simultaneously. In 2020, his own son (right) proved him wrong — and collected the cash. quantamagazine.org/catalytic-comp…

The irony is that I kind of agree with Sabine Sabine Hossenfelder that most academic research is BS, even in math. This is one of the (many) reasons why I left academia. Yet her economic analysis is dead-wrong, and public funding of mathematical research is wise, justified and cost-effective🧵

Bob Tarjan is an inspiration. Many congratulations!

Taking a break from the submission season? Swing by the Workshop on Algorithms for Large Data (Online), WALDO 2025 🗓️ April 14—16: waldo-workshop.github.io/2025.html Registration is free! (but necessary by April 7)

A few suggestions I made for the Astera Institute library
