Math Carnival

The math geeks have hit the town at the Second Carnival of Mathematics, which features a wide variety of articles to enjoy—many of which are admittedly over my head.

I liked these:

Puzzle: Is the spider hungry?

My Favourite Theorems 1 (Halting Problem)

The results are in!

It’s been a very busy few weeks, and I never got around to posting last week’s carnivals. Here are a couple of math-related posts from last week’s Carnival of Homeschooling:

How the four operations become two

Words of Wisdom from Reader’s Digest

And from the Carnival of Education:

Testing Higher Order Thinking Skills — Part Two

Mind Over Math — Believing It Makes It So

The Carnival of Mathematics: Inaugural Edition is up and running at Abstract Nonsense blog.

I’ve gotten plenty of submissions that span the entire gamut of math-blogging: education, pure math, applied math, debunking bad math – it’s all there. Only the gender distribution could be made slightly more equal (and that’s an understatement). I’m linking to the posters in roughly increasing order of mathematical difficulty, but don’t let my opinions deter you from reading the posts closer to the bottom.

Indeed, there are many great posts to read. Enjoy!
