Following on from the resignation of the editorial board, CUP has announced that it’s not publishing the Journal of K-Theory any more. The new journal started by the former editors, Annals of K-Theory, aims to start publishing papers online this year.
Reader Danial Clelland wrote in to tell us about his new calculator app for iPhone, CALX.
None of us owns an iPhone, but I borrowed someone else’s for a while and had a brief look at the app.

C: $K_A m; \\ K_B d.$
A: $\neg K_A d; \\ m \vDash \neg K_B m.$
B: $d \not\vDash K_B m; \\ (K_A(\neg K_B m)) \vDash K_B (m,d).$
A: $m \wedge K_B(m,d) \vDash K_A (m,d).$
Albert, Bernard and Cheryl have had a busy week. They’re the stars of #thatlogicproblem, a question from a Singapore maths test that was posted to Facebook by a TV presenter and quickly sent the internet deduction-crazy.
First of all: no, it’s not meant to be answered by an average Singaporean student. It’s a hard question from a schools Olympiad test.
A headline appears on my screen: “Ancient and Modern People Followed Same Mathematical Rule To Build Cities”, on Slashdot.
Ooh, I get to break out my “holy power law, Batman” image again! Yippee!

Bread & Kisses is a short film by Katherine Fitzgerald about a mathematician who discovers love – I know, I know, you’ve heard this one before – but it also contains a mathematician who moves to the Alps to get more skiing in, so it’s the most realistic film about mathematicians ever. It also features the emotion of love in a star turn as an epsilon term.
Although it contains the line, “you forgot the most important ingredient: love”, so don’t get your hopes too high.
To celebrate Christopher Zeeman’s 90th birthday and their own 150th, the London Mathematical Society have opened an online archive of Sir Christopher’s work.
