I just published my second post over at Second-Rate Minds, the mathematical writing blog launched by Samuel Hansen and I back in August. This is a comment/review piece about my reading of G.H. Hardy’s influential 1940 essay A Mathematicians Apology. You may remember we took the name of the blog Second-Rate Minds from a quote from the Apology. As an attempt to be provocative, the piece is entitled: ‘Hardy’s Apology: what’s to dislike?‘

Sarah
It has been nearly a month since I posted here. Sorry about that. My friend Sarah Shepherd died last month. I expect many people reading this blog will know Sarah for her work on iSquared Magazine or perhaps you’ll have heard Sarah as my guest on the maths news episodes of the Travels in a Mathematical World Podcast.
A fund is open in Sarah’s memory in aid of Rethink. Please consider donating to this.

This dude is sailing very close to the edge of the whirlpool of crazy ju-ju, but the sculptures he makes are so pretty!
