Calabi-Yau manifolds, 6D shapes that are crucial to string theory, were named after the late Eugenio Calabi (right), who proposed the shapes in the 1950s, and Shing-Tung Yau, who in the 1970s set out to prove Calabi wrong but ended up doing the opposite. quantamagazine.org/ai-starts-to-s…
"It's just adding 1 in the denominator, how bad can it be?" How bad it can be:
Spice up "dry" math topics with "Would you rather?" questions. Unit conversions was my most boring lesson until I changed the questions to things like "Would you rather drive 100 ft/sec or 50 mph?" Students would make predictions and want to learn the math to find the answer.
CALL-OUT FOR MENTORS: Many of our participants are requesting mentors for writing (no math skills needed). Interested? Email a resume and a short statement on why you want to help incarcerated people with their writing to [email protected]!
What math are you working on right now? Some of our participants are studying physics and mechanics, while others are working on high school algebra, calculus, and more. :)
What my math class looks like.
Here at PMP we care not only about teaching math to people in prison, but talking about what brings people to prison in the first place. Email us to come to our next book club--we'll be discussing "Willful Defiance: How to Dismantle the School-to-Prison Pipeline" by Mark Warren.
If you like fun math puzzles you should check out our newsletters :) !! You can write in your solutions too! prisonmathproject.org/press-media/

NOT a math puzzle: you are imprisoned by two guards—Alice and Bob. One always lies; the other always tells the truth. Each flips a fair coin 10 times. Bob reports the sequence HTHHTTTHHT, and Alice reports that she got all heads. Who is most likely the liar?
🚨We're so excited to announce the launch of “A Prison Writer’s Guide to Media Writing,” a first-of-its-kind journalism handbook for incarcerated writers. prisonjournalismproject.org/2024/04/17/fir…
The way Dr Francis Su described what mathematics for human flourishing really means in the latest ep of @MathTherapy may have legit changed my life & I truly believe it may change yours too. All I have to say is that @mathyawp has officially brought #YOLO back & I’m here for it🙏
Volunteering for us is a wonderful way to get involved! Keep an eye on your email, since our volunteer-run organization can take some time to match you with a participant. :) prisonmathproject.org/volunteer-ment…
I'm so envious of young math students. They have their whole lifetime left to freshly discover mathematics.
Counting the number of distances between points might sound like an esoteric exercise. But in the decades-long quest to do it, mathematicians have developed tools that have proved useful in fields from number theory to physics. Leila Sloman reports: trib.al/oSaeCHG
How do we know the seven bridges of Königsberg problem is impossible?
It's never a bad idea to donate! You can set up to donate us $5 a month and support the costs of one participant each year. every.org/pmp?viewport=d…
I know trig can be a little intimidating so here's a quick introduction to trig.
Help! I just stated a result which I was sure was true, and now am stuck trying to prove it! It's true in every case that it is needed, such as continuous semimartingales, but surely it is also true in the general case??
