Welcome to The Big Internet Math-Off! Over the next four weeks, 16 intrepid mathematicians are going to be sharing some of their favourite bits of maths in a series of head-to-head matches that will leave all of us numerically nourished and all but one of them wishing they’d spent more time trawling the arXiv.
The tournament starts today with our first match in round 1: James Tanton v Nira Chamberlain. They’ve each made a pitch for a fun bit of maths, which I’ve put below, and at the end of this post there’s a poll where you can vote for your favourite bit of maths.
